Beet and Sugar Cane.
Economist.

1t is announced that the sugar re-
filming trust has reduced, the price OF
sugar at the East ten cents per 100
pounds to meet an alleged cut of the
Arbuckles, who are also refners,
made a few days before. This an
nouncement is important as showing
that even SO powerful a trust as the
American Sugar Refining company
cannot escape competition, and the
greater their profits the stronger and
the quicker the competition. Capital
is abundant, is constantly accumulat
ing, and is the one thing which there
is 70 hope of ever combining under
single control.
But the probabilities are that the
cuts of both these refining companies
were compelled by the increasing
competition of beet sugar. The pro-
duetion of beet sugar in the West has
already overrun the consuming capac-
ity of the territory directly tributary
tc the factories, and the surplus is
struggling for an outlet The present
crop will be the largest on record
and markets must be found in addi
ton to those hitherto held. There
was a contest at Missouri river points
last year, and there will doubtless be
another. Every year the beet sugar
output increases, and with increased
production the refining trust is asked
to give up new territory. Naturally
it does not like this and fights. Nat
-urally, also. it spends money to Sc
cure a reciprocity treaty with Cuba,
whose sugar plantations lie close by
it's factories. We do not believe ii
will ever get it.-San Francisco

is q plan that in our opinion could not
possibly work any good to the cause
of protection or to the Republican par.
ty. 1t has been tried before, and it
worked much mischief, for it made a
good tariff very much worse, and it
was forthwith followed by the cleo
ton of free trade President Sena-
tor-Allison opposes it as impracticable
and useless. The late ex-Speaker
Reed, in the December issue of the
North American Review, said of it:
"But can we not have, sitting in per
petual session, a body of men, nom
partisan, judicious, wise and incor-
ruptible? Yes, in your mind You can
have anything in your mind. Imagina-
ton is unlimited, and it is very de-
lightfu1 to wander round among pos
sible impossibilities. Just think of a
non-partisan 1free-trader sitting on a
tariff taxi OF course, he would be
above any prejudice except his own
1 saw one tariff commission sit in 1882,
and its report was not enacted into
law. All its mistakes were, and the
result was satisfactory to nobody"
The American Economist does not
want to see the folly and the failure
of 1882 repeated, no matter who favors
it. We trust the Des Moines Register
and Leader will regard this statement
as sufficiently expIcit.-American

Mrs. A. NJ. Ferguson who came here
from Winnipeg, Manitoba, relates how
that great destroyer of Kidney Com,
plants, Dodd's Kidney Pills first
reached the extreme North West cor
ner of the United States:
Il had used Dodd's Kidney Pills for
what the Doctors pronounced Bright's
Disease in Winnipeg" Mrs. Ferguson
says, "And the disease disappeared
entirely. That was about three years
ago and 1 enjoyed good health till
about two years later when / removed
to Whatcom.
Whether 1T was the change of eli
mate 1 can't tell hut my old trouble
returned in full force. My legs were
swelled to nearly twice their size. I
could not go up or down stairs for
about two months.
My husband hunted Whatcom for
Dodd's Kidney Pills but could get
none till Druggist sent away and
got them for him.
II began to get well as soon as
began taking them" Others in What
com have learned to know and appre-
ciate Dodd's Kidney Pills.

According to the London Lancet the

and the eggs kept fresh, that scien-
