| If congress were to pass law re-
quiring that every family in the Unit.
ed States send contribution of S7.59
every year to the American Sugar Re-
finlng company, or, as commonly
known, the sugar trust" there would
be tremendous outcry And yet
that is precisely the effect of the tar
if on sugar.
Senator Clay pointed out a few
days ago that the average price of
sugar during 1908 was 1856 cents in
New York and 2 Ga cents in Hamburg,
Germany. That is a difference of
2.33 cents per pound. By multiply
ing the number Of pounds consumed
in the United States by the difference
in cost at New York and in Germany,
Senator Clay discovered the amount
taken from the Americ people
under the tariff was Sl36, ,0S0,000.
The government receives S53,000,000
paid mostly to the sugar trust 1t
was computed that in twelve years
the American people have paid Gus
toms taxes on sugar amounting to
fully S600,00),000 and in the same
period to the sugar trust profits of
$3.50, 100000 made possible by The
tariff.
An article in the Washington Times,
as reprinted in the Congressional
Record. states that, whereas Hawain
unrefined sugar to the amount of
100000 tons annually is imported
practically duty free, California could
expect to have the cheapest sugar in
the United States. On the contrary
San Francisco pays 50 cents per
hundred pounds more than Chicago
and l5 per cent more than Denver.
Governor Swanson, of Virginia, is
authority for the statement that the
S9,0O0,000 in cash put into the sugar
trust by its owners has grown to Sl3S,-
100000. so that those who contribut-
ed to the organization of the trust to
day have SIS to show for each 81 put
into it.
A few years ago, a reciprocity treaty
reduced the tariffs on raw sugar i'm
ported from Cuba twenty per cent.
1t should be borne in mind that the
sugar trust is vir ,lly the o1ly buyer
of raw sugar shipped into the United
States. Similarly, permission was
given for the importation of sugar
from Hawaii and Porto Rico duty
free. Yet, as Senator Clay points
out, the price of refined sugar has
been increased in the United States,
rather thar lowered, while much of
production in the islands is on planta-
tions owned by the sugar trust itself.

consumer in the United States nor

Porto Rico has benefited from the
S132,0l4, ,236 in duties that would
have been paid if the tariff had not
been taken from Hawaiian raw sugar;
nor from the Sal OF 1913 lost to the
United States treasury by the adop-
ton of the Cuban reciprocity treaty:
nor of the S39, 9,l75,242 lost in revenue

The duty on refined sugar is now los
! cents per pound, whether the raw
product comes from Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Louisiana or any other coun-
try. And the Aidrich bill, in fulfill
ment of the promise of revision
downward, proposes to reduce the
duty on refined sugar from 1.95 cents
to 1.90, or just about onefortieth of
the margin allowed for the profits of
the sugar trust. Sioux Falls Press.

IT seems to be the unanimous opin-
ion of standpat senators that party
platforms were made by a few men
selected by the people and that few
did not know the desires of the peo-
pie, and further that the people had
no right to thus Interfere with legis.

by some, and endorsed by others
through their actions.

combination of So democrats and

fury.
In one of these big buildings, while the machin-
cry will be out of sight, domestic affairs will be so
mechanical, even automatic, that you can get al.
most anything the family needs simply by turning
on a switch or pressing a button.
The flat dweller of that distant day will not be
bothered with servants or the servant problem. By
pressing a button the Christmas dinner will come
up noiselessly from the kitchen on the mechanical
waiter or perhaps in a pneumatic tube.
After your Christmas dinner is over the dishes
will disappear as silently and swiftly as you could
wish. Some sort of mechanical dish washer in the
kitchen will take care of them-or, what is more
likely, they will be made Of a cheap composition
and will be destroyed by burning after they are
used once. The antiseptic precautions of the mod
ern surgeon will be common to the kitchens of the
next century and hygiene will be a real science.
When you have eaten your Christmas dinner, If
you want to go out for the evening you can press
a button and an aerocab will come to the landing az
your door. Or, If you prefer It, you may drop down
the pneumatic elevator to some point so or 100 feet
below the surface of the earth and be whirled
through the pneumatic subway at a dizzy rate of
speed to your destination. Only the speed will not
make you dizzy. You will not be able to feel it.
You may sit in your cushioned car, we'll lighted and
warmed and ventilated by some process yet to be
discovered, and before you realize it the miles will
speed away and you step out to the opera or the
play.
If you prefer to remain at your apartments the
kaleidoscope attached to your telephone may be
connected to any theater you desire, and you can
sit in your easy chair and smoke while you see the
play projected on the wall like the most perfect
moving picture. All the stage settings will be there
to make the play seem real, and the improved tele-
phone will bring every shade and subtle infection
of the actors voice to your ear.
It seems certain that this kaleidoscope arrange.
ment-the exact word to describe it will be coined
after the process is discovered-will be one of the
tr1umphs of the coming century. 1t will enable you
to see the person you are talking to over a tele.

New Formula Cures Coughs, Colds.

In Five Hours

In Five Hours
Much is being done in these days
to stop the ravages Of consumption,
but probably nothing has been SO
effective as teaching the public how
to break up a cold and cure coughs,
bronchitis. tonsilitis, ETC., with simple
home-mixed medicine. A laxative
cough syrup, free from whiskey is the
prime need. A cough indicates in.
iammation and congestion and these
in turn are due to an ces of waste
and poisons in the system. A tonic
laxative cough syrup rids the system
of congestion, while relieving the
painful coughing. Get the following
and mix at home: One-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, n ounce COM
pound essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Shake
the bottle and take twenty drops every
half hour for four hours. Then one-
half to one t~easpoonfu1 three or four
times daily. Give children less, &C.
cording to age. Cut this out and save
It for some friend. q

probably will have provided for you a combina-
ton Of telescope and moving picture machine by
means of which you can connect your room with
the toy department and see the display by wire
or perhaps by wireless-and at the same time you
get prices and leave your order with the clerk by
telephone.
But perhaps the woman of 2OOs will enjoy the
mad rush of the shops as much as she does to-
day during the holiday season, and then she will
go to the big store and order her toys and pres
ents. The store could deliver them through the
pneumatic package tubes which will go to all
parts of the city, but it will be more poetic to
have them delivered by Santa Claus.
Christmas eve a score or q hundred Santa
Clauses will. set out from the various shops with
their afrships laden with Christmas gifts to be de.
livered at the various addresses. It will no longer
be necessary to deliver all goods in the rear Of
the big apartment building, but whether you live
on the twentieth or two hundred and twentieth
story Of the big house you will have your own
private airship landing. and while the family is
gathered at the door to receive Santa Claus the
airship will settle on the landing and the cheerful
Merry Christmas of the aeronaut will greet you
as he hands in the packages.
The Christmas tree of a hundred years from
now will be an electrical marvel. Festoons and
wreaths Of rainbow colored lights and "chasers'
will scintfllate from its green branches. But the
presents that. hang on it vii. be even more won
derful.
There will be dolls as large 40 the little girls
who will receive them. There will be dolls that
can walk and with the improved photographic ar.
rangements of another century there will be dolls
that can talk and others that can sing beautiful
songs. Some Of them, no doubt, will Re able to
dance gracefully and to do tricks tkat woald seem
miraculous If performed by an automaton to-day.
The mechanical toys Of 2o09 will be marvels of
perfection. The most imaginative man cannot
possibly conceive of the new things that will be
invented in the way of machinery, but it is safe
to assume that the wireless transmission of power
will be perfected. Wheels will spin without any
visible motive power. Power may be taken from
the suns rays or wireless power stations may be
operated by the waves, the waterfalls, or even the
winds. Before the coal supply is exhausted the
need for coal, either for warmth or power, will
have passed away.

The lad of the next century will want a model
OF the latest airship in his Christmas stocking. He
will expect a working model, too-one that will
sail through the fiat like a live bird. and perhaps
carry his own weight.
Within the last hundred years steam and elec-
tricity have been developed and It is entirely rea-
sonable to imagine that within the coming century
men will travel through the air as ommonl as
they now travel over the land. The automobile,
the trolley car, the railroad train, and the horse as
a draft animal-all will be gone. Men will use
the earth, as the birds do, for a resting place for
their homes and the principal source of food sup
ply; but when they want to move from one place
to another, they will mount into the ether, even
as the birds do, and fay swiftly and safely to
their destination.
1t Is probable that there will not be a wheeled
vehicle of any kind on the streets of a great city
on Christmas day, in the year 2OO9. Our tunnel
system will have developed until the vast subter-
ranean net work OF bores, chutes and pneumatic
tubes will carry on the heavy traffic of the city
without noise or confusion. The streets will be
given up to pedestrians-to those who walk for
pleasure or wish to travel short distances. The
sidewalk as 1t is now will be no more, but the en-
tire width Of the street will be given up to foot
passengers. There will be neither car tracks nor
moving vehicles to annoy.
The suburbanite who does not fly to work In
2009 will be shot through a pneumatic tube, trav.
cling the five, ten, or fifty miles of distance in a
space Of time that may be only a few seconds, and
certainly cannot be more than a few minutes. It
may be that few people will walk anywhere in
the year 2009. When man learns to fly he will
scorn walking as too slow a means Of progress.
Perhaps our Observation-Disclosures, who no
doubt will live in immense apartment buildings
towering a half mile from the ground, may go
for weeks at a time without setting foot to the
earth.
With the passing of the, Christmas sleigh there
" will be no longer any need for RENDERS for Santa
Claus. He, too, will travel by airship, and while
the old Santa Claus will be a myth, the new Santa
Claus will be as real as the bewhiskered and be-
furred boys who now entertain the children in the
department stores.
1t is net hard to imagine that the big stores
will develop the Santa Claus idea to the point that
Christmas purchases will be delivered on Christ.
