ing of the Famous Biscuits
of America.

From Zanzibar, East Africa, the
biscuit man buys his cloves. Mace
comes from the far-away Straits Set
Elements of India and Makassar in
the Dutch East Indies. Figs are
gathered in California and in the
groves of Turkey. Many green acres
of California and of Greece yield their
supply Of currants. Cinnamon is
gathered in the East Indies; ginger
roots from Cochin China, and from
Jamaica in the West Indies. From
Jamaica also is gathered the allspice.
From Trinidad in the West Indies and
from South America comes the cocoa
Citron comes from Italy and Spain
From the ancient groves of Italy the
extracts Of lemon and of orange are
procured.
The rugged hills and fertile valleys
of Spain yield their almonds; walnut
meats come from France. Filberts
come from Turkey and Spain, and
grated pineapple from the Hawaiian
islands. From Ceylon, the San Bias
coast Of Panama, Trinidad, Porto
Rico Jamaica, Russian and Saint An
drews are gathered the cocoanuts.
Nuts of finest quality come from the
coast of British Honduras.
America furnishes the other, and
indeed, the chief ingredients of the
biscuit, for from our own country
come the cheese, lard, eggs and but
ter, pecans, honey, fruits and jellies,
and also the molasses and sugar; and
miles and miles of yellow fields of
grain yield the kernels of wheat.

the targets for volleys of questions
which they find it difficult to parry
aud impossible to answer.
When one standpatter brazenly
asserted that the retail price of
sugar had not been reduced as a
result of the partial removal of the
tariff and the abolition of the
Dutch standard, score of mem
bers were ready to contradict him
and to point out that the house,
wives of the country were receiving
twenty and twenty two pounds of
sugar for dollar, whereas they
only received fourteen or fifteen
pounds two years ago.
Another trust man endeavored
TO make much of the fact that
some sugar factories had been
closed, but he was silenced by the
presentation of evidence that never
in the history of the industry had
all the factories been running in
the same season. That reminds me
that during the tariff fight.a Den
yer paper gave much prominence
to dispatch from a Colorado town
stating that the Chamber of Com
merce had adopted resolutions de-
claring that free sugar would force
the local factory to close down.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the factory in question had been
closed for three years!
Personally, | do not believe pub
lie sentiment will tolerate the res
toration of the sugar tariff. The
trust will continue to bluff, but
with the facts before them the peo-
pie cannot be deceived.

SUGAR TRUST ACTIVE.

SUGAR TRUST ACTIVE.
The sugar lobby" has reap
peared in Washington. The old
offices have been opened up, the
old press agents are once more
drawing salaries and the standpat
congressman are filling the Con-
gressional Record with made.to-
order speeches urging retention
of the tariff
There WAS time when the trust
assured us that we could not pro-
duce sugar in this country unless
we had tariff of almost two cents
a pound. Later on it was willing
to get along with one and one-half
cents a pound. Now it is clamor-
ing for one cent pound and it
would shed tears of Joy if 1t could
get a tariff of half cent pound.
The latter rate would add S25 ,0O0,-
600 year to the sugar interests
profits. Such prize as that is
worth fighting for, and the trust is
figuring on putting lot of money
into this falls campaign.
1t is particularly interested in
the Colorado fight. 1t expects to
be permitted to name the Repub-
lican candidates for senator and
congressman, and if it succeeds in
electing them, will herald the vic
tory as mandate for the restora-
ton of the tariff on sugar.
The press agents of the trust are
revamping their old time fakes, but
they find that the public is not in
mood to accept them without
question. The trusts champions
in congress- are having the same
experience. There WAS "a time when
they could present to the house Il
mass of alleged facts prepared for
them by the sugar lobbyists and
no one would have the temerity to
question their accuracy.
1t is different now. Members of
congress have been studying the
sugar question and the majority is
convinced that we can produce
sugar in competition with the
world and that practical demon
stration of that fact will result in a
vast development of the industry,
particularly in the west. AS con-
sequence, when the orators of the
trust take the floor they become

81 the Treasury department closed
It's books for the first fiscal wear
under the Wilson administration,
and found, after all bills had been
paid, the tidy balance of 30,0OO,OOO!
This was bitter pill for the
"standpatters' who have been pre-
dieting that the Democrats would
be compelled to sell bonds to meet
the current expenses of the gov
eminent. Instead OF bond issue,
President Wilson produces n sur
plus of generous proportions!
And this in the face of the fact
that we have revised the tariff
downward, have given the country
a modern banking and currency
system and are proceeding with
the enactment of trust legislation
which will put dishonest business
men in Jail and afford honest bust
ness men wider field for their
legitimate activities
Through its manipulation of
tariff schedules, the Republican
party placed the burden of sustain
ing the government on the should
ers OF those least capable of bear
ing it. The Democratic party has
changed all this.
A few years ago, Congressman
Prouty of Iowa, a Republican, de-
clared on the floor of the house
that section boss living in his
district, supporting IA wife and five
children on salary of $50 a
month, contributed as much to the
upkeep of this government as did
John ID. Rockefeller with an in
come of more than $50, 100000 a
year This statement could not
be successfully contradicted then,
because the Republican party in
sisted on supporting the govern
ment through tax on the neces-
saries of life and the section boss
had seven mouths to fill, while the
oil king had only himself and his
wife to provide for.
Under Democratic rule the tax
on the necessaries of life has been
reduced and has been replaced, at
least in part, by tax on incomes.
This latter tax hits Mr.. Rockefeller
and his associates on the tenderest
spot in their anatomies the pocket
nerve. Dispatches from New York
the other day told how Uncle
Sans agents had collected 3d.
100000 income tax from the resi-
dents of one square mile OF Man
haitian island. OF course the men
who paid this money proteste !, but
the section boss out in Iowa has
not been heard to complain.
CLARK BACK OF WILSON.
AS predicted in these letters two
or three weeks ago, the effort of
"big business to block the presi-
dent antitrust program has proven
a fiat failure. Congress will re-
main in session until we have exc
cuted the contract entered into
between the people and the Demo-
cratic party two years ago. 1t is
pretty hard on those of us who are
compelled to undergo the heat Of a
Washington summer, but 1t will
enable the party to 90 before the
voters this fall with an unequalled
record of constructive legislation
This result was assured when
the Democratic senators met in
conference "A few nights ago and
unanimously adopted resolution

presidential program. A short time

LABOR BEGINS FIGHT FOX HE
CONVICTED IRONWORKERS
A campaign for the pardoning OF
the officials, of the Structural Iron
Workers, convicted of dynamiting,
was started yesterday by the Chicago
Federation of Labor.
Frank M. Ryan, president OF the
iron workers, who was one of the
p men convicted and who are await
ing action on the part of the Supreme I,
Court, made an appeal to the fedora
ton which was met with stirring APP
prevail
After his appeal resolution call
ing for the circulation of petitions
calling upon President Wilson to par
don the union men, went through
with a shout. The federation went
on record as confirming Ryan's belief
that the men were railroaded to pris-
on by Federal Judge Anderson and
District Attorney Miller of Indian
apolis.
Ryan showed evidence that the
train which was to bear the convicted
men from Indianapolis to the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth was or
dered 40 days before the trial was
ended.
The Stereotypers' Union, No. ia,
which was formed during the news
paper strike after No. had gone out
in sympathy with the locked-out
pressmen, was recognized when let
ter from the American Federation of
Labor showed that according to law
the Chicago federation should seat
No. las delegates.
A rousing vote of appreciation,
however, was given No. A. 1t showed
the sentiment of the federation.

Bakers Union, will try and get an

she bought a quart of whisky and
drank until she remembered no more,
but awoke the next day in a police
station and was sentenced to the
BrideWell.
Here a Sister of st. Mary's found
her, learned her story, secured her
freedom, obtained position for her
and comforted and encouraged her
until the girl conquered not only her
weakness but past memories, and to-
day she has a pretty little home and
supports her mother.
Do you know what l think is the
moral of these stories? 1t is that
each of us should be less self-cen-
tered and more interested in girls
with whom we come in contact. That
we should try to show them little at
tentions that will brighten up the
hours when they are alone, that we
should each be our sisters keeper.
1t wouldn't be very hard thing to
do. And if the spoken word, the kind
ly embrace, the giving of a little SYM
pathy, the sharing of our life with
another would save just one girl from
a fate similar to those met by these
girls, it would mean that our lives had
been worth while.

VANDERBILT HOME BURNS.
Magnificent New Residence on Long
Island Destroyed.

Jericho, Long Island, N. Y, Feb.
1S.-The new country home of Mrs
William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. on Jeri-
cho Hills, was destroyed by fire to-
day. The loss is estimated at Sl75,-
600 on the building, and $4,000 on
the furnishings.
The house was completed Just be-
fore Christmas and the work of
furnishing about ten days ago. Mrs.
Vanderbilt was preparing to take a
large party of friends there for win
ter festivities made possible by snow
and ice covering all of the hill Sc
ton.
The house was occupied only by a
caretaker and two assistants. The
caretaker telephoned for help to
Westbury, Hicksville and Jericho but
the roads are so deep in snow that
no apparatus could be moved up to
the Vanderbilt place. The fire is sup
posed to have been caused by an over
heated furnace.

sunragette Uses Whip.

Londan, Feb. 18.--A militant suf-
fragette armed with a whip savagely
attacked Baron Weardale while he
was waiting with 200 other wedding
guests for a train at Althrop Park
Northampton. The party was going
to attend the wedding of the Hon
Sidney Peel, son of Viscount Peel and
Lady Delio Spencer daughter OF Earl
Spencer. The suffragette apparently
mistook the elderly peer for one of
the Cabinet ministers. Lord Weardale
was walking with his wife along the
platform when he was approached
from behind by the woman. At the
first blow from her powerful dog whip
he fell to the ground. However, Lord
Weardale did not suffer any serious
injuries. The woman was arrested.
