CHANCE FOR OBJECT LESSON
One Way by Which Working Of Tax
on Sugar Might Be Brought
Home to Consumer.

Sugar furnishes IN important source
OF government revenue in nearly all
countries. Why? Because 1t is a
commodity of universal use, and a tax
may be assessed against 1t in such a
way that the consumer does not real
ize ne is paying it. Governments find
that in this manner they can collect
taxes from every individual regard
less OF his ability to pay taxes. But
1t is an expensive method of taxation
because the government get the
money only after it has passed through
the hands of the retailer, the whole
saier, the jobber, the refiner, and the
importer, and the added cost to the
consumer greatly exceeds the amount
obtained by the government.
Suppose that every time a consumer
buys ten pounds Of sugar he is in.
formed that 20 cents of the money he
pays Is put on because of the import
duty; how long would it take to arouse
a public sentiment that would force
the abolition of such a tax?
Suppose, farther, that the grocer
Kept two lots of sugar, beth selling at
the same price, n of them being i'm
ported sugar, and the other produced
in the United States; and suppose
that the buyer of sugar was told that
two cents on each pound goes to the
government If he takes imported
sugar. while two cents on each pound
OF domestic sugar goes to the pro-
Queer as a special privilege or protec-
ton because of the import duty.
wouldn't the protective tariff idea re-
ceive a tremendous jolt before long?
If sugar must be a source of reve-
nue. to the government, why not col
lect the same tax on sugar produced at
home as is collected on sugar that is
imported? That would almost double
the revenue Of the government from
sugar, and it would end the inevitable
system of giving a special privilege to
the producer Of sugar, which cannot
be enjoyed by the producer of wheat
or corn.-Kansas City Star.

Celtic Arithmetic.

Into the general store of a town up
in New York state there recently came
a big, good-natured Irish woman, who
wanted to be weighed. She stepped
off the scales almost as soon as she
had stepped on.
"Shure, these scales is no good"
was her disgusted comment, They
only weigh up to wan hundred, an /
weigh something loike wan hundred
and noinety pounds"
TITS easily discouraged We are, Mrs.
Casey" said a friend. DUST step onto
them twict, me dear, and let Mickey
here do the sum for ye."

DROP OLD ARGUMENTS
HIGH PROTECTION ADVOCATES
TAKE NEW LINE.
Exposure Of the FalIaeies of the Past
Seems to Have Driven Opponents
of New Tariff Schedule to
Desperation.

The action by the house in passing
the new steel tariff bill was in accord
with general popular sentiment and
In harmony with the mandate issued
to congress in the elections Of last No
vember.
In the discussion Of the measure, it
is interesting to note to what degree
advocates OF high protection depart
from the old-time style of arguments.
Nothing is heard now of the once
familiar assertion that the foreign
manufacturer pays the tax. For a num-
Der of years that sort of nonsense
was one of the chief items in the allie
cations of the defenders Of the rob-
Der tariff schedules.
Again, the friends of the steel barons
have ceased to set up claims for their
unreasonably protected business on
the old-time infant industry" plea.
The infant has become a giant Of so
mighty power as to make such plea
manifestly ridiculous.
The latest national platform Of the
radical protectionists asserts that tar
liz rates should be fixed in such pro-
portions as to cover the difference in
the cost of production at home and
abroad, with allowance for the great
er value of money in the United States
plus reasonable profit for the Ameri-
can manufacturers.
That was an entirely new way of
stating the matter. If the principle
and the method are just, they have
always been just; and the whole pre-
ceding line Of argument and work on
behalf Of robbing the consumer for
the benefit Of the producer was as IN
just as 1t was Illogical.
But even that style of dealing with
the question finds little place in the
discussions Of today. The simple fact
is, The whole effort of the opponents
Of the new schedule is the effort Of
desperation. And it Is doomed to fail.

s-eeretary,a peculiar ReasonIna.

The assertion of Secretary Meyer
that EVERY Dreadnought built by a
foreign power is equivalent to wiping
off our list at one stroke the Indiana,
Massachusetts, Oregon, Iowa, Kear-
sarge and Kentucky" proves a little
too much. AS England and Germany
are building some half dozen or more
Dr~eadnoughts a year. this ratio Of six
to one wipes out several more battle
ships than we have got, and our naval
strength after a thousand million of
expenditure is several ships less than
nothing.

Chance for Effective Work,

Why must the federal government
fuss up and fog up q plain matter?
There is in every office of the govern
ment some mar who knows where the
leaks are. II the president would once
tell his heads OF departments to let
small politics go to Halifax or Jekyll
island and cut as deep as possible
without impairing the service he
could collect more really expert infor-
nation in q week than he will be like
ly to use In a year. But that would
be too simple q method for a Repub-
lican administration.

Hannibal.-After forty years the
famous Huidekoper case was settled
when Charles E. Sears, clerk of Ma

Macon county. The suits were on
bonds and coupons issued by Macon
county to the old Missouri and Mis-
sissippi Railroad company, which was
never built. The bonds originally
amounted to $35O,0OO and when COM
promised the total was about 2 ,000,-
600. The action was compromised
for $4,000.

Brooklyn Man Discovers He Could
Have Saved $es.5o on In

Imagine spending One Hundred Dol
lars for preparations to heal a wound
on the leg, and then finding that a
fifty-cent jar of Resinol did the trick!
That is just what G. M. Waggoner, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, did. He tells briefly
his experience In the following letter:
"a few years ago l seriously injured
my leg, and tried everything / saw ad-
vertised. Finally, / was advised to try
Resinol Ointment, and in a very short
time the wound was completely
healed. One small jar of Resinol Oint-
ment did what n hundred dollars
worth Of other remedies had failed to
do. c. M. WAGGONER,
Brooklyn, N. Y"
Resinol Ointment instantly relieves
eczema, scalds and burns, letter, milk
crust, ringworm, BARRIERS itch, all
eruptions and iritations of the skin;
pimples, itching. blackheads. boils,
chilblains, chaps. etc. Try a fifty
cent jar of Resinol Ointment, to be
gotten from your druggist, and you
will be more than satisfied with the
expenditure. Free sample can be had
