Less daring than the preceding sugges-

Paris, Sept. 5-Gopyrieht. 1so3.-An
evsnt more remarkable for its rarity than
for 1t Importance took place on scp;em-
Der /. In France the price Of sugar was
lowered by one-third in consequence of the
suppression OF taxes collected BY the
Treasury.
This Is a real reduction. and for many
years we have lost the habit of expert
encing pleasure, II having been superseded
by almost continuous increase OF taxation.
II Is TO the waldeck-Rousseau Ministry
that we owe this reduction. We would
hav had to sooner II 1t had not been nee
easary to get the united consent of Eu-
rope so that ali nations should treat sugar
in the same way. This was done at the
Brussels Conference. The Waldeck-Rous-
seau Ministry promised two economic re-
forms the reform relating to liquors and
the reform In sugar taxes. The liquor re-
form was accomplished last year n
hanks 70 IL. we now have drinkable wine
at 1 cents q quart. II consisted in taking
the taxes of from healthfui drinks and
placing them on alcoholic liquors.
The sugar reform consists in suppress
ing the taxes levied on all consumers for
the benefit Of the great prodrcers- It is
thus that. ever after its death, we expert
ence the fortunate afterrresults OF the acts
OF this great ministry which knew how
70 conduct q good policy and was found
to have favored the economic interests of

A Fable.

A hard working duck which had
faithfully stuck to business during the
summer, and laid several dozen OF
large, colored eggs, complained
that she was not appreciated. "Soe
that hen over thereP said the duck ;
''she hasn't laid as many eggs as l
have nor as big, but she has books
written about her and verses compos.
ed in her honor, while nobody Is
saying a word about me"
"The trouble with you is" SAID a
wise rooster that was standing near
''that you don't tell the public what
you have done. You lay al egg and
waddle off without saying a word,
while that sister Of mine never lays one
without letting everybody in the neigh
borhood know it,
Moral III you want to cut any ice
in this community you must learn to
advertise.
