Why Sugar is Higher Now.

John Arbuckle. iii a strenuous
attack on the sugar tariff tire
other day said that Uncle sam
is engaged in taking candy from
children-the height of mean
ness. That Is pretty mean huSi-
mess, for a fact, bat the high
handed robbers who have been
fixing the tariff rates would steal
eopperS from a dead mans eyes
and never blink. Mr.. Arbuckle
gave figures for the faith that
is in him and showed that every
household that now buys three
and half pounds of sugar could
for the same money buy five
and one quarter pounds If this
tax were removed. \ higher
per cent import duty is paid on
sugar than ON automobiles. cham
paigne. furS. diamonds. and
pearls-bu of course the average
man and woman would rather
have a low import duty on neceS-
Saries like champagne and pearls
than on sugar. Mr.. Arbuckle
says that the saving To the Amer
lsan people on the sugar consum-
ed last year ii the tax were re-
moved would amount TO almost
Sl50,000,000. That is one of the
beauties of having the tariff laws
made by the Republicans. Ii
they could make them any high
er and get away with it they
would do 50. -Lmmberton Rob

CONTINUE TO ACT WISELY

\ great effort was made on
The farms this year, but the har-
vest is disappointing. The Bank
of Union tried to do as much
good as possible and backed up
every honest effort, but all our
efforts could not make perfect
crops and we cannot regulate
prices locally to suit our condi-
tons. Nevertheless. farmers, as
well as others, should deposit ev-
cry dollar possible in bank, not
only as a means of economy, but
in order to have perfect rec
ord of everything paid out. In
these days merchants, creditors
and people generally prefer
checks to cash and it is much
more easy on paper to pay the
exact amount desired. If not al
ready doing business at the Bank
of Union, it will be a move in
the right direction to open an
account there. You cannot find
better accommodations, more ia
cilities or greater safety. Expe-
rience has demonstrated these
facts beyond controversy. More
over, your business is apprecia-
ted at this bank. You in your
personal and business affairs re-
eeive the utmost sympathy, atten-
ton and protection. Accept the
invitation thus offered and you
will never regret the business
connection thus formed.-Adv.
The jealous husband naturally
feels that his wife longs for the

MANN WARNS DEMOCRATS
No Hurried Legislation in Closing
Hours of Session, He Declares.

Washington, Aug. II. - Representative
Mann. the minority leader. announced
emphaticallv to the Democratic side Of
the House to-day that there would be no
hurried legislation" as the extra session
drew 10 A close. This was In answer to
Representative Henry, chairman of the
Rules Committee, who indicated that a
special rule" providing for the considera-
ton OF emergency measures of local in
terest 20 various members might be
brought into the House in accordance with
the sentiment of the Democratic caucus.
Mr. Henry said that for the present the
bills would occupy places on the calendar.
but that II a special rule We're deemed
necessary the Rules Committee might
present one later.
Il desire to serve notice TO that side
OF the House." said the minority leader,
that there will be no hurried legislation,
even under special rule. From the
eentlemans remark I judge that members
who have bills TO urge must come hat in
hand 10 the Rules Committee. "he Demo-
cratic caucus is not running the House.
and " the majority does not see fit TO
consult the minority as to its plans we
will take II upon ourselves TO see that
business is transacted in an orderly and
regular manner
The House killed time for several hours
this afternoon waiting for the conference
report on the wool bill, which Mr.. Under
wood hoped TO present before adjourn
rnent. The conference. however. lasted
until after the House had adjourned.
While awaiting a possible report from tho
wool conferrees, the House again debated
the bill providing for the improvement or
the Black Warrior River, in Alabama, the
subject that caused the serious Under
wood-James tilt earlier In the week and
which inspired the majority leader to
accuse Representative James. his Demo-
cratic colleague, of purchasing votes by
pls wing TO the galleries" The House ad-
iourn.d without acting on the bill

day got an idea of how II feels 20 he I'm
a big American city on sweltering
August day II was 80 hot for him that
his tour of sightseeing was cut short by
several hours and he spent the remainder
OF his time, MP tn 4 O'Clock, when he left
here for New York in keeping cool I'm his
hotel apartments He was somewhat
affected by the heat, but snilingly bowed
from the rear platform of his private car
as his train pulled out.
Despite the heat he spent very busy
morning seeing the sights Of the city, and
was deeply interested in everything lie
saw.
At the United States mint the admiral
and his party were shown over $500, 100000
in a multitude OF money bags. and they
saw pennies dollars and gold pieces coined
with lightning rapdity.
From the mint the Japanese visitors
went to Independence Hall. The admiral
bowed reverently before portrait OF
Washington. walked around the glass-en-
cased Liberty Bell. and inspected other
historic relics.
