REMOVE DUTY ON SUGAR

Whenever jobber buys a car

about $50 for the duty. Whenever
n housewife buys n dollars worth of
sugar, she gets only seventy cents
worth of sugar, the other thirty cents
of her dollar being for the duty.
Moreover, every can of preserved
fruit, every jar of jam and jelly,
every piece of candy. every glass of
soda water, and even every stick of
chewing gum. must yield its share of
the memorable demand OF the Gov
eminent and the Beet Sugar interests"
The above is an extract from n
circular letter sent out by Arbuckle
Brothers, the big Independent sugar
refners, of New York City. This
company. with a capacity of 1000
barrels of refined sugar daily. says
1--WE advocate the removal of all i'm
port duties on sugar coming into the

The people of Louisiana are fight

New York.-John Bigelow, ST., dip.

in this city, aged ninety-four years.
Mr.. Bigelow, sometimes termed the

almost the last connecting link be-
tween the great men of the first half
Of the nineteenth century and the
present day. Born at Maiden, Ulster
county, N. T., in 1917, of a well-known
family, he vas prominently associated
with the great men and the determin-
ing movements Of the country during
his entire life.
In 1849, at the invitation Of William
Cullen Bryant, Mr.. Bigelow became
an editor of the New York Evening
Post, in which position he continued
until 1860. Under his editorship the
paper came to a great influence.
Sainte Beuve's critical letters were
published under his supervision. Walt
Whitman was a reporter and later a
war correspondent under Mr.. Bigelow.

at the time; and 1t was at this period

which made Lincoln't election pos
sible in 1860, and at the emancipator's
urging the editor went as minister to
France during the trubulous times OF
the civil war.
In France Mr.. Bigelow succeeded to
much the same power and position
that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas
Jefferson had held more than so years
previously.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Bige-
