What do you want for it? And
where did you get it?"
Man gave it to me. I'll take fifty

"Tll give you ten" said the man
carefully, for fear his offer would be

Couldn't you make it fifteen?" asked
the boy.
Better take ten.' chimed in another

Who Would Rerefit7

A few days ago statement was
made to the senate committee by a
gentleman who had investigated con-
dltions in Cuba that a large number
of sugar plantations in the island are
owned by Americans. 1t is highly
probable that officials of the Sugar
trust are among these owners, in fact
constitute q majority of them The
president of the trust has admitted
that he invested in Cuban sugar lands
and it is altogether likely that others

would get a share of the S., DOC, 900

all Of 1t would not go to the island is

and that the corporation has put it.

For forty years the free trade ques-
ton has been the main hope of the
democracy. The great campaign of
1892 was won on the tariff or free
trade issue, under conditions much
resembling those of the present time.
1t will be recalled that the country
was in a condition of prosperity in
1892 that up to that time had not been
equaled. The country is in a greater
condition of prosperity at the present
time. Some people are seemingly
anxious to make some sort of tariff
revolution AS in 1892 all are doing
well, but there are jealousies arising
between various interests, each seem
ingly willing to take its chances of
self-destruction by attempting to des-
troy somebody else.
In Iowa, men are anchoring them
selves on present prosperity to de-
mand a change in the schedules that
have brought this prosperity. The
proposition is made in the interest of
tariff reform, as it was made in 1892
for the purpose of hitting the mon
opolies.'' In 1892 the blow was aim
ed at Carnegie. In 1902 it is aimed at
Pierpont Morgan. 1t did not hit Car
negie in 1892, but hit nearly everybody
else 1t may not hit Morgan in 1902.
but it may hit nearly every one else.
Some of the men in Iowa who have
made hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in increased values of real estate
are the chief agitators for the present
disturbance of the tariff. They think
everything is SO securely established
that congress could go pell NELL into
the tariff question without hurting
anything or anybody. There is dan
ger to the country and to the Repub-
hcan party in this agitation which,
seemingly, has its home in Iowa Re
publicans are every day heard raw
ing against the tariff, just as they did
In 1892, when people scarcely had
time to add up their profits.
1t is a cute piece of politics that
the Democrats or mugwumps are
playing in Iowa, rock-rlobed Repub-
1ican state as she is. If tariff re
form" plank can be put into the Re
publican platform of Iowa it will be
greater victory for mugwumpism.

of authority coming directly from the
administration. The Republicans of
Iowa might well stop and think and
also analyze the source from which
emanates the attempt to put a tariff
reform plank into the Iowa Republican
platform, plank that might be
measurably right in itself, but one
that would be construed as a letting

There was a period when the pro
duction of beet sugar in this country
received the warmest attention OF
protectionists. Through the Dingley
tariff beet sugar received an impetus
that has rooted beet sugar factories
in a number of states and enhanced
the production to such an extent thai
in large stretches of territory the
Sugar trust has cut the price of its
sugar below cost, that thereby it may
force the beet made sugar out of the
market 1t is claimed that in the
last reduction made by the trust tc
three and a half cents a pound fol
granulated sugar at Missouri river
points, the price named was below
the cost of raw sugar on the Atlantic
coast
1t is intimated if the plans of the
trust succeed in forcing the beet sugar
factories of Nebraska, Kansas and
other western points and the Pacific
coast out of joint, it will then turn
it's attention to the eastwards and
give the people cheaper sugar for q
period SO that the beet sugar factories
OF Michigan and some other beet sec
lions will be forced to lay down. But
it is a singular thing that protection
lists who originally contended for q
good tariff rate upon sugar to protect
American industries should now be
found attacking the beet sugar inter.
ests. If one American industry is
worthy of protection, SO are every one
of the others. Protection cannot be
twisted around to convey the idea that
beet sugar people are monOpolists, for
most surely if the growing industry o.
beet sugar is fostered monopoly, what
are all the other industries built Ut
in this country through the operations
