THE REPORT ON SUGAR.

We have received from Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts copies of his
report from the Senate Committee on
Finance on "Duties on Sugar" This
report opposes the House bill which
would place sugar on the free list, and
conclusively shows that to do so would
be to violate the long-establshed pol
icy Of the country and would be a
serious inroad upon the treasury reve-
pues, not easy otherwise to make up,
AS related to the protective policy, he
argues that it would also be violatiye
of the policy of the Nation from the
first to relieve sugar from duty. I'm
tion in Louisiana has been built up,
and the beet sugar industry has been
wonderfully fostered throughout the
United States.
Mr.. Lodge, quoting the retail prices
Of sugar, shows we'll that these prices
are lower in this country than in most
of the countries of Europe. Our for
eign consuls reported as of July, 10ll,
that the retail price Of sugar per
pound at that time was in London. 4
cents: Berlin, 40 cents; Hamburg, 80
cents: Paris, SO cents; Rome, Il
cents; Vienna, 6.5 cents; Budapest, 68
cents: Warsaw. ~ cents; Geneva, A
cents: Amsterdam, 81 cents: Brussels,
"a cents: Copenhagen. cents; Stock
holm, s cents: Christiania, 6.3 cents;
Madrid, 12,2 cents: Constantinoplo. 81
cents: Bucharest. l0.1 cents; Athens,
ia cents; Belgrade, 81 cents The
average retail price of sugar in the
United States from 1890 TO 1907, as
shown by the Bureau Of Labor, was
81 cents per pound, and the report
says the average price since 1907 has
been lower rather than higher -
All this is good and quite in accord
with Republican principles, and with
Republican claims with regard to the
effect Of protective policies These pol
icies build up industries, and in the
end tend TO cheaper prices. The trou-
BILE. however, is that the principle of
combination and Understandings
whereby the market is TO be controlled
and prices raised has come in since this
protective policy was instituted, and
sets the market awry from time to
time, as last year when the price of
sugar was suddenly raised about
"fruit-preserving time and the Amer.
lean people were robbed under false
preteDses by that raise.
As we have stated recently, we do
not believe that the prices of sugar
would materially decline in case the
duty upon sugar were taken of, this
| for the reason indicated, that the COM
bines have control Of the markets, and
would keep the prices up as high as
the demand would Justify; for it is no
part Of an intelligent control of the
| markets or even Of selfish and rob

the same whether the destruction comes

1t WAS not so Very long since we
had the awful disaster of the sinking
of the great ship Titanic; only last
week we had an account Of the giving
way of a rotten dock in the Niagara
river at Eagle Park. In this disaster
some twenty-five lives were lost, most.
~ women and children, They had pruc-
ucaIly no chance 10 save themselves
when the rotten piles gave way. AS
usual, the law requiring inspection OF
such places was disregarded, and as
usual the public pays for that disregard
heavily in mortality, and the question
Is yet unsettled who was to blame for
it, or who is responsible for the destruc-
ton that followed the giving way of
the rotten dock
So far as the sweeping destruction
by natural forces is concerned, there is
no remedy; but there ought to be
a remedy and a responsibility for the
destruction of lives where human agen-
cy can reasonably afford protection
and prevention: and the lesson Of it
all is that mankind should be strong
and quick in enforcing penalties for

In the meantime, the promise is that

! ably without opposition, continuing the
former appropriations through the
month, and by that time il is likely
that the regular appropriation bills will
have been passed.
The reason why these appropriation
bills have not been passed as they
usually are before the close of the old
fiscal wear. is plain, Congress has been
busy PLAYING politics, and endeavoring
to put the President in a holeD bv
the engrafting upon the appropriation
bills OF certain obnoxious and irrelevant
legislation. 1t is against the rules of
both houses Of Congress to put gem
eral Legislation upon the appropriation
bills, but both houses do it. The rea-
son why they do il is that in this way
the legislation, so far as Congress can
effect It. is made sure. But since the
" paff L. a.
two houses Of Congress. it seems curl
Gus that they have not been able to
devise some means of making lcplsla-
tion sure, other than by method
which is clearly violative of the rules
of both houses. Perhaps the Congress
men may wake up some time to the
desirability of providing methods
whereby they can transact the bust
ness they want to transact without
violating their own rules, and will be
able to make the current appropriations
without putting them in such obiec-
tlonabe form as to invite the Presi-
Dental veto. This invitation to veto
was expressly carried in the army ap-
preparation bill, and it was inevitable
that the President should veto it; for.
first of all, it had obnoxious general
legislation, and, second, it interfered
with the Presidents prerogative of
nominating officers of the army, and
assigning them TO their different
duties; so that the veto of that bill was
imperative.
But the failure to pass other bills
for the expenditures necessary in the
different departments Of the Govern
ment is absolutely incxcusable. 1t
shows ineftectveness on the part of
Congress that is much to be blamed,
and the excuse is that it is the Presi.

BRYAN BoYCoTTs NEW YORK.

1t cannot be denied that Mr. BRYAN
is making deep impression on the
Baltimore convention; but in so doing
he places himself on record in the most
offensive form, so far as good many
of the delegates are concerned His
special animus has been against the
delegation from New York. He has in
effect boycotted that delegation by
stating that a nomination obtained BY
its help is tainted, and that progressive
Democrats cannot be satisfied with a
nomination obtained by the help Of
New York votes. Carrying this idea
logically TO It's conclusion, assuming
cratic candidate, the question is, would
he refuse the Presidency. if it came
10 him by the aid of the electoral vote
of New York; We do not imagine
that anyone is so simple as to suppose
that Bryan would refuse the Presidency
on that ground. But if he would not
refuse the Presidency on that ground, l.,
what is the sense of his declaring a
boycott on New York? A proposition
of this kind, has to be thorough; it
must be carried 10 it's ultimate con-
clusion to have any force or effect. But
since neither Bryan nor anyone else
would carry it to that conclusion, il is
either designing piece Of trickery
and deception, or else a silly bluff to
be talking as Bryan does about New
York In connection with tho non;n,
tion.
1t sometimes looks as though Bryan
has agreed to force the Democratic
party to split in two, as between pro-
gressives and what he would call re-
dictionaries. and If that is his real pur-
pose, the visit of La Toilette and other
progressive Republicans to him secret

PROFITS IN CONVENTIONS.

The Chicago convention being over,
and the Baltimore convention not only
fully assembled, but well along in the
duration Of IFS session, the financing Of
these conventions is now being sum-
med up.
Chicago paid 100000 to have the Re
publican National convention held in
that city. The financial return is so
satisfactory that $4,000, or one-fifth
Of the guarantee has been returned to
the subscribers, and the business inter
ests of Chicago are well content. The
reckoning is that $5,000,000 in ready
money went to Chicago from the dele
gates and the crowds that attended on
account Of the convention. 1.-The re-
turns were enormous is the word that
comes.
Baltimore also gave 100000 to have
the Democratic National convention
held in that city. That convention
doubtless is fully,as profitable to Balti-
more as the Republican convention was
TO Chicago, day by day; as the Balti-
more convention has already lasted
longer than the Chicago convention,
Baltimore will probably reap benefits
corresponding to the length of time
that the convention lasts above the
duration Of the Chicago convention and
since Chicago got $5,o00,000 out of the
Republican convention, it is pretty Ger
tain that Baltimore will get a conven
lent balance above that from the Dem
ocratic convention.
And so the guarantees in both cases
paid we'll

TEN CONvICTS ALLOWED
TO DO HARVESTING WORK

BOISE, Idaho. July 26.-To breathe
free air. to see the blue sky overhead
and be free for ten days was the ex-
perience OF ten convicts from the
state penitentiary. who were returned
to that institution last night. They
did not escape or attempt to escape.
They were out on a farm which the
state has leased down the valley, and
they spent the time In making hay.
Only one guard accompanied the ten
men. A cook. a convict also. was TAX
en- along, and he prepared the meals
and kept house while the others work
ed in the alfalfa fields. The work was
in progress about ten days, and the
men were sorry to see the end of the
harvest.
One of the men insisted on sleeping
outside OF the house on a haystack,
and every morning before the others
were up he took a plunge In the
waters of the irrigation ditch in the
rear OF the farmhouse.
After the work was through in the
