duties on these two classes under the
present law, and nuder his bill, are
shown by him as follows:
Present law.
Duties on luxuries. $500. .$144, 1851, 506.1 6
Duties on necessaries :. 184,757, $500
Aldrich bill.
Duties on luxuries 49,. $155,542, 1851
Duties on necessaries .. 183,461, $3.50
According to Mr.. Aldrichs own fig
ures, his bill increases the tariff tax
on luxuries from 52.07 to 55.49 per
cent, and reduces the proportion of
the tariff paid on necessaries fro 1926
to 27.09 per cent. In other words, the
Aldrich bill, according to its author,
will decrease the tariff burden borne
by the toiling MASSES, and paid by
them in taxes on necessaries Of life,
to the amount of $1,295,250.70, or ex-
actly seventeen one-hundredths Of one
per cent. Allowing Il population of
100000 families, Mr.. Aldrich's pro-
gram for tariff revision, based on his
own calculations and statements,
means a sowing Of eight and half
cents year to each family of con-
sumers in the country.
luxuries and Necessaries.
"Luxuries'' are described~in the AL
drich classification as articles of VOL
untary use." He does not define "ne-
.cessaries," but his list offers some
new ideas as to what are luxuries and
necessaries. It also shows some very
peculiar contrasts in duties in the two
classes. .r1

SUGAR DUTIES.


revise the tariff in the interest Of
the 80,000,000 consumers OF the
country. The Payne tariff bill, as
passed by the house and amended
by the senate, provides no relief to
the consumers of sugar, who are
compelled by our tariff to pay an an
nual tribute on this necessary food
product of more than $142,OOO,OO0.
Part of this amount goes to the
government and a large part of it
to the Sugar Trust and relatively
small number of protected sugar
growers.
Public sentiment is practically
unanimous in demanding a reduc-
ton In the duties of both raw and
refined sugar. No member of con-
gress has attempted to justify the
exorbitant tax, equivalent to 80
per cent ad valorem, imposed on
this product. Yet nothing is done
by our tariff revision" congress to
reduce the burden of taxation which
the excessive sugar duties levy on
every family in the land.
There is no possible justification
for such inaction on the part of con-
gress. OF course we all know that
the domestic sugar interests, better
known as the Sugar Trust, point to
the large amount of revenue de-
rived annually by the government
on importations of foreign sugar,
which pay this abnormal duty. An
excessive tax on any necessity of
life would produce like result,
but would not justify it.
There is no reason why this i'm
portant article of daily food should
be singled out for such an excessive
tax, which means so much more to
the poorer classes than to the
wealthy.
Sugar is an article now handled
by Wholesale and retail grocers at
a very small margin of profit, and
any reduction in the tariff imposed
on it would Immediately result in a
correspondingly lower price to the
consumer, who would thus receive
all the benefits of lower tax
rate.
But, what's the use talking? Sen
ator Nelson w. Aldrich of little
Rhode Island will see to it that the
trusts are duly protected and the
consumers as duly skinned, and our
senator's and representatives will
look on, not daring to say their
souls are their own, in the pres
ence Of this Samson OF congressional
legislation.
Just think of it: Sugar, a house,
hold necessity, pays practically 80
per cent duty; Injuries. such as au-
tomobiles, pay As per cent duty.
Whom does such a tariff favor?

EARTHQUAKE in ITALY.
The Loss OF Life and Destruction OF
Property Appalling.

Rome, dec. 29.-The Minister of
Marine at O'Clock this afternoon re-
ceived wireless dispatch estimating
the dead at Mossina at $4,000. No
dews has yet been received from Reg
gio.
The earthquake in South Italy and
sicily yesterday morning wrecked
city after city, and obliterated smaller
towns and villages without number.
Then a tidal waue swept along the
strait of Messina and added to the
horror, drowning the people In their
helplessness and panic. Flames broke
out in the devastated cities, and
countless numbers of wounded men,
women and children were burned to
death.
Any adequate estimate OF the total
casualties is as yet quite impossible,
but the Rome Tribuna places the num-
Der at between 1000 and 10000.

The YEAR 1908.
All In All 1t was a Pretty Good
Year Here at Home.

The year that just ended was one in
which flood and famine, earthquake
and hurricane were frequently felt, but
the disaster in Sicily was by far the
most appalling one of the entire year.
A tidal wave, however, in China de-
stroyed 10, 900 lives. A tornado swept
through the South last April, killing
S21 and injuring 1,211,and floods in In
dia in October caused much greater
loss in life.
The year that is gone also brought
unrest and political changes in the
Balkans and that most surprising OF
all changes, constitutional rule in Tur
key itself. The young Turks have SO
far been sane and conservative, and
Abdul Hamid is remarkably obedient.
The new government is confronted by
grave problems, but it promises t"
solve them satisfactorily. Constitu
tionalism was advanced also during
the year in Russia, Persia, China, Ice
land and South Africa. Even Ireland
is becoming hopeful. The Congo, too
is in the hands of the Belgians. Cor
stitutiona1ism has during the year los
no ground, while it has gained grounu
wherever the issue became acute.
The year, too, brought William
Howard Taft into the line of presiden
tial succession, and the battleship fleet
of the great republic steadily steamed
around the world. All in all it was a
81
OF good crops and business recupera-
tion and returning confidence in the
country and it's institutions.

YOUNG MEMS CHANCES.
The Right Kind of Young Man HI S
Much To Do With Making
His Own Opportunities.

Much is constantly being written
about the lack of opportunity for the
young mon of the country, and at the
same time there come many complaints
from the older men to the effect that
they are being crowded out by the am
bilious and energetic youths eff the ma
ton. The real truth of the ma tier is
that the right kind OF young man has
much to do with making his own op-
portunities, and when years are upon
him he is glad to surrender the bur
dens to other shoulders.
Some one has well said:
1.-THE heights by great men reached
and kept
We're not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions
slept,
Were toiiing upward in the night"
Industry, frugality and integrity are
not always the fortunate possessions OF
a young man, but when the combina-
ton is met there is no doubt of the
material success OF the man. The
y
something to turn up and who talks
of "good luck" and "chances" knows
nothing of the indomitable energy and
tenacity that makes opportunity, and
torges ahead regal dless of seeming diff
fculties.
History even of the present times is
replete with the successes of the men
who have risen above the obstacles OF
poverty and obscure beginnings, and
who have achieved fortune and promi-
ity. The latest of these is brought to
notice in the retirement of the presi-
dent of the New York Central Rail-
road, of which the Washington Post
says:
''The career Of William H. Newman,
who resigned the presidency OF the
New York Central Railroad this week
should lend encouragement to every
young man ami bilious for success in
life. Born in Virginia and reared in
sustaining ere he was Is. Soon there
after he was clerk of literally patron
lied hotel in Louisville, where he came
to know deal OF human nature.
"Before he attained his majority he
was appointed station agent at Shreve-
port, La. ,ot the Texas Pacific Railroad
and for 40 years he rarely had vaca-
ton. His specially was freight traffic,
in which line he probably had no supe-
rior in the profession.
''Some twenty years ago he was ap-
pointed one of the vice presidents of
the Missouri Pacific, and was one of
| the most trusted lieutenants of HoXie
in the operation of that great system.
Subsequently he was a vice. president
under Marvin Hughitt, OF the North
