Sugar Trust Profits Cinched.

The trusts have a einch on DingleY bill profits. Of course they will make many times more if the bill becomes law in anything like it's present shape, but they are already engaged in taking part of their profits.
 Sugar has risen considerably in au- ticipation of greatly increased duties, and merchants all over the country arc laying in stores because still higher prices are expected. The sugar trust i, consequently busy and rolling up prof. it's. In April 1t imported 757,799.527 pounds of raw sugar. salued at Sl4,747.- l@9. An extra profit of oue-half cent Der pound on this amount-which is al- r ady realized or guaranteed means nearly $i,000,000 to the trust

The petition will be circu- lated at once for the signatures of a majority in value of the real estate holders, and We understand that all obstacles which caused the failure of the former petition have been over come or removed andlthat the public utilities will now be put on paying basis.

URGE MODERATION.
WesIes Aansfaeturers Oppose High
 Duties on Wool.

WesIes Manufacturers Oppose High
 Duties on Wool.
 Some of the severest criticisms no, only of special duties and clauses, but of the whole eccursed protective sys- tenn. come from the protected manufac. turers themselves in their struggle with opposing interests NIT. s. N D. North secretary Of the Woolen Manufacturers association. is now and always has beer a StaDeh protectionist. As such he b-a lieves that the 7o.00O. 900 consumers oi this country are legitimate subjects for plunder and that the manufacturers are the proper persons 10 enjoy the pro lection plunder.
 The free wool experiment which we have been trying for three years, be sides being an object lesson in the way of cheap woolens, has taught the woolen manufacturers that they car make as much or more profit with free wool and moderate protection, which permits people of moderate means t1 wear real woolen goods. thnn with high duties on both wool and woolens which restrict the use of Noolens to peo- pie in good circumstances. The manu- lecturers therefore display more than their usual modesty and patriotism in the advice which they are giving to congress. Mir. North is in Washington to voice the manufacturers patriotism. Here is part of his advice as taken from the Washington spondeDee of the Dry Goods Economist:
 tt1ts factory to the woolen manufacturers. The chief fault is to be found with the raw wool duties, which are so high that our manufacturers will find themselves sorely eembarrassed. It is true the committee has provided compensatory duties which are probably sufficient to offset the duties on raw wool, but the difficulty will be, in my opinion, that the very considerable in- crease in price which must be made to cQYer the additional cost of raw material Will have the effect of cutting down con- sumption to an extent that will be disas- trous to the manufacturers l do not con- tend that the rates on woolen manufac- lures in the bill are not sufficient to protect us against too severe foreign competition but the limit of the consumers purchas- ing power must control him in buying woolen manufactures, and fear the rates | of the new bill will very materially restrict 1 consumption.
 | Aldrich and the other servants of the protected manufacturers at Washing l ton:
 "Go slow with your high duties and don't try to protect too many. If you let everybody into the protection ring there will be nobody outside to prey upon and we will have to prey upor each other. Don't make the mistake of taxing raw material too high. We wouldn't mind it if we could sell oul goods and charge the tax over to the consumer. But when the tax is so high that We have to make our prices almost out of sight we have found that We can. not sell so many goods because the peo- 1 pie cant afford to wear clofhes-that is, woolen clothes. which are the only cnes worth considering, because they are the only ones which we manufac- ture. Our solicitude for the dear Amer. l ican consumer is such that we do not
 wish to compel him to clothe himself ir

HEAVY DUTIES ON LINENS.

 Fabric.


 win Deprive the People ef . Usefal Fabric.
 The following are some of the conn ments of . man well acquainted with linens and the linen industry upon the senate doctored Dingley bill:
 The proposed duties on linen goods under the amended Dingley bill are heavier than ever, although it has been claimed that the senate had reduced rates. These goods paid for many years 8 per cent. and yielded steady rev. enue to the government. The rates now proposed vary from 50 to 109 per cent, and the burden falls heaviest on low and medium goods, which are chiefly used in the homes of the poorer people.
 A cheap tablecloth now selling at re- tail at 25 cents per yard will have to be sold at 37h cents to 70 cents if the quality be kept up.
 Medium linens for children's summer blouses will be assessed 9eK per cent, and the retail price will have to go up accordingly.
 Linen forms the raw material for many American industries, as Things for clothing and other purposes where strength and durability are required. Such goods will be advanced 20 to 30 per cent.
 It is claimed that this advance is not necessary for revenue, but the effect will be that the people will in many cases substitute something cheaper, and thus be deprived of this useful 1 fabric, and the revenue will be corres- pondingly diminished. It is said that linen goods can be made here, but this has been tried again and again. and ex- cept in the case of few low crashes has been a failure, owing to the climate and other difficulties, but even if they could be made here the rates are un- necessarily oppressive. The entire cost of weaving linen goods in Europe is about 71a to 10 per cent. the selling price of the article here, and in Amer ica the cost should not be at the very outside more than double this percent age, so that, even if republican theories be true, a protection of B per cent should be ample to allow for higher wages and extra profits for our man. ufacturers,
 It is possible spectators may start mills on the strength of these excessive rates, sell the stock and then step out leaving the unfortunate laborer and manufacturer to face the difficulties oi the situation as best they can. The la borer probably, having been brough, here from Europe (for labor is on the free lisO, with unreasonable expecta tions, will be left to join the army o1 disappointment and discontent. Why should these exorbitantly high rates be assessed on an article more or less ir use In every household in the land, and the cost of living 90 much increased ir these days of keen competition and small profits? Why should the plain people be taxed to put more money in the pockets of the rich? If the wealthy manufacturers want to make experi ments, let them do so at their own cost not tax the poor for that purpose.
