Europe, we can raise what Is required
for population Of 90,000,00O, and for
that matter what Is consumed by the
earth.
The only reason why such adequate
tariff was never put on. is that the
sugar trust has ever and anon opposed
It., realizing, that whenever America
produces all the sugar it consumes,
their monopoly will be at an end. Inc
principle of protection has thus been
compromised on this important item.
However Notwithstanding this d1scour-
agement the domestic production or
beet sugar has grown by leaps ana
dred millions Of dollars invested in beet
sugar mills in the United States. When
sugar goes on the free list there Will
be no more use for beet sugar rehnef-
les in America than there is for brew
cries in Iowa, and every dollar SO in
vested will be hopelessly lost.
Not to speak Of the 1nexcuSaple
wrong, that would in this event be in
flicted on the enterprising men who
have put their time, money and energy
into this industry, only to see their Ell
forts trampled into the dust, and their
property, conflscated, forgetting them,
waving all this, the question con-
fronts us: Is America prepared 10

difficult one third Of the distance?
Neither will it do for Mr.. Kendall to
say as he does to his constituents, that
his vote was in the interest Of the poor,
with a view of enabling them to get
cheaper sugar. If Mr.. Kendall is hon
est in his claim, that he is protection
list, and is intelligent enough to repre-
sent us in congress he ought to know,
that once the beet sugar industry Is
annihilated in America and we again
depend almost entirely upon imports.
Sugar will be entirely controlled by
the importer trust and will go hlgher
than ever. On June 80, 1880, when beet
sugar was in it's infancy among us, our
output being only about 100000 lbs,
sugar was quoted at $3.50 In New York,
and still Mr.. Kendall would have us
believe that free sugar. and the Wiping
out of our beet industry would cheaper
sugar to the poor.
The republican electors of the sixth
district should nominate Fl. B. Alfree,
a plain business man, but a sincere and
consistent advocate Of protection, for
congress, a man that can be depended |
upon to support the policy, not so much |
by forensic eloquence and flowery |
diction, but with his vote when his |
party calls upon him to do so.
The same applies to the two senators
who at this time unfortunately mis-
our state on this question in
the upper house.

To the Republicans Of the sixth dis
trict:
Unless the doctrine of protection has
gone entirely to seed it is to be hoped
that the voters of our party, who still
believe in it, will remember on primary
election day, that n. E. Kendall, our
congressman, voted with the democrats
and free traders on the only occasion
during this session, when he could have
manifested the protection which he so
yolubly advocates on the stump.
His vote for free sugar was free
trade vote pure and simple. Time was
when our country, agriculturally
speaking, produced only one eleventh Of
the sugar that it consumes. 1t now
produces about one third.
Under an adequate tariff, it would
produce all we consume, by the beet
route, within five years from the time
such tariff was imposed, for manifest
ly if Germany, France, Austria and
Russia can produce what is consumed
by three hundred million people in

stand the test Of public criticism.
He has always been a loyal demo-
crat having spent his time and money
in the interest Of the democratic
party, and is entitled by an the mules
Of the political etiquette to the NOM
nation this fall. Every democrat
who believes in true progressivenessl
in the party should make it his duty
to see that every democrat in his
precinct goes to the polls and woes
for Senator Hodges for governor.

ton than the contemplation of the
Passion of Christ. Hence, the Bishops
prompted by these considerations,
recommend that in all Catholic
churches, besides the regular daily and
Sunday services, the faithful assemble
at least once a week during Lent either
in the Afternoon or evening, and say the
Stations" as it is popularity called,
i. e., going with Christ in spirit over
the Way of the Cross. Indeed, among
the many lovely devotions which like
fair flowers have sprung up in the
Catholic Church and constantly diffuse
their fragrance throughout her vast
garden, there is none SO earnestly to
be recommended as the Stations Or
the Way of the Cross and the devotion
to the Blessed Eucharist. The Bishops
give us this to understand, since they
combine both devotions into. one in
the Lenten services by permitting that
the service of the Stations is always
concluded with Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament.
