WHAT THE TARIFF COST US

refined here for third OF a cent and
distributed over this country for one
tenth TO one-half q cent Certainly
If New York retail grocers were TO sell
their sugar at the wholesale price, as
now, the housewife here would be
paying only two and half to three
cents a pound instead OF double that
price.
And this is not the only exaction
the American people must pay to the
sugar lords. Look at the price In
rotten politics.! Have not the sugar
lords ruled congress for many years
and ruled it against the manifest de-
mands of the public? When the pop
ular mandate was for lower sugar
duties, did not congress keep the
duties up and even put them higher?
Or when the house put sugar down,
as in the Wilson bill, did not the sen
ate keep It up? AT whose behest?
Plainly not at the public's, but In de-
rance OF it's explicit demands. II has
been game of robbery and II has
| bred Hobbies and corruption funds.
And the larger corruption has bred
the smaller tribe of corrupt dealings.

the government for years In the

She had reached with shock;
Then he sank, limp and weak, on

And they carried him out and they
showered on his head
Wild plaudits; but Sam, with blush,
only said:
"Pshaw. It's better to die at your
post
And take what you have to with
grit
Than to face the world after
And stand for the laughter
And scorn for the fellow who quit"
That's pretty sound sense from Sam
Howard,
Good logic for one and for all
When faced by disaster
Just show you're the master;
Stick tight. though you see you
must fall!
The world may not count you a hero,
May say II was all In your work;
But Il sure hates fellow
Who's any way yellow
And loathes like darnation a shirk.
So next time you're cornered just
clench your teeth tight
And think OF these words OF Sam
