Sugar

| More than six billion pounds of sugar
are consumed in the United States
every year.
The average price of sugar in England
last year WIS $2.T0 per hundred pounds
and the average price in the United
States was S4.9G per hundred pounds.
Taking the total of six billions of
pounds that difference in price made a
difference to tbs consumers in America
of $113, 400. 600
The difference in the tariff rates on
sugar in the United States and England
caused the difference in price.
Had the tariff on sugar in this country
been the same as the tariff in England,
we would have paid $113, 400, 600 less
for the sugar we used last year than
we did pay.
If the government of the United
States got the $113, 1000 one would
not be inclined to complain, but it did
not and it did not get half of it. It
got less than fifty-three millions. ~

None Absv. slo,ece

Ask yourself what is the bill of larg-
est denomination issued in the United
States? Careful now that you dom
overdo it.
The largest bill is for only $40 900 and
there are only two kinds of notes that
are as large the United States note
and the gold certificate. Not only
this, but probably there are not to ex-
coed two or three of these SIC, 600 United
States notes in circulation. AT II guess
there may be 12.UO0 or 1000 of the
denomination.
There is a S. 900 United States note
of which there may he only handful,
as against $4,000 of the $1,000 gold
; certificates. 1t should be remembered
that any national bank note of the
So, 600 and $4,000 denominations that
may be put up to you are rank coun-
terfeits, for the reason that the national
bank isn't allowed notes of such size.
The national currency and the notes
Of the national bank, however, num-
Der the $1,000 notes by tens of thou
sands. This 81, 900 note. largest of the
national bank bills, also is largest of
the silver certificates and of the COIN
certificates of 1890. A treasury report
of 1904 shows the comparative number
and kind Of the $1,000 bills. In that
year these $1,000 were distributed "a,
8S2 in United States notes, 423 in treas
ury Tor coin) certificate notes, "a of
national bank issue, 81, 449 in gold
certificates, and 108 in silver certifi-
Gates.
The $500 bill runs through all these
classifcations save that of the "coin"
issue of 1890. Thereafter, in notes.
there are the 800 note. the $50, and
the $50 notes, through the five CLASH
fications of the currency, Under $40
however, there are no gold certificates
The smaller bills in the other list are
the tens, fives, twos, and ones with
which most of us are reasonably fa-
miliar, on occasions at least.
The $40 United States note, with the
bison rOmping across it's face, is the
commonest of the $40 bills, next to
which among the tens is the national
bank note with the $40 silver certifi-
cate third in number, The national
banks are strong on the twenties, too

Rats are wonderful" he said. 1--WE
thought modern plumbing would abol-
ish them, but they live in the clean
light and dryness of the best modern
plumbing more comfortably than they
did in the damp and filth and darkness
of the past. We thought the modern
