States consume, annually, about eight

States consume, annually, ABOUT elgnb
billion pounds of sugar; of this amount
the sugar industry of this country
produces one and two-thirds billion
pounds-or, a very little more than
one pound in five is Of home produc-
ton. So four out of every five pounds
we use must be imported. This being
the case, one would naturally con-
clude, as above stated, that the great
er the customs fee, the more the ulti-
mate cost to us who 'like sugar in
our'n." But our G. o. p. friends come
back at us with the assertion that
"your low tariff has destroyed u
beet and cane sugar manufactures
and now the foreigner, having us at
his mercy, is making us pay accord
ing to his pleasure" They utterly
ignore the war devastating Europe
and unsettling every line of COM
merce and trade-a calamitous state
that cannot be of long duration-and
talk as though the conditions now
ruling we're natural and perpetual.
Six months, or, at most, a year, will
likely bring about peace and a return
to normal conditions. Of course, un-
til then, our sugar-and some other
commodities of everyday use-win
will cause us increased expenditure:
to the tune of many millions, no
doubt. The lowering of the tariff has
no more to do with the increased
prices than-well, l can't find a smile
ridiculous enough to fit the case.
Now, let us inquire somewhat into
the cost of the industry whose "de-
struction" calls forth the weeping and
wailing of the "faithful." l will take
a period Of twenty-five years, though
its extent might be doubled. The
consumption of sugar, per capita, in
this country is 81 pounds; the popula-
ton is now almost 100, OOO, 900; twenty
five years ago it was 80, 1000, 900. Wen
average it for those twenty-five years
at, say, 10000, 900. Then, for every
one of those twenty five years, $780,
0OO, 900 pounds was required to sweet
en- our coffee, etc. The our-tifths we
had to import amounted to 1882, 0O0,-
600 pounds. On this vas laid a tariff
of one cent a pound. This to protect
our sugar men from the ''pauper la
bor'' of other countries anxious and
willing to sell to us. Let US see how
much that protection cost us who use
the protected article, per year, and
for the full twenty-five years. For
one year-the tariff at / cent a pound
-$58, 100000; for the twenty five
years, OIL ,45s ,OoO, 900! Add to this the
tariff increased cost of the home pro-
duced fifth, and you have a total of
81, 798, 0O0, 1000. A pretty good price to
pay for the encouragement of a home
industry, and in view of it, I think we
may patiently bear for a limited time
our part Of the burden placed upon
the whole civilized world by the war
now raging across the water.

AS to Sugar.

- W
"The Democrats have reduced the
tariff on sugar." say my Republican
contemporaries, and behold the dire
effectl That necessary article has in
creased in price and promises to still
increase" True, sugar has ''gone up''
since the Underwood tariff has be-
come law-we all know that. So have
other commodities-but never mind
that now: we're talking about sugar
and will confne ourselvest to that. We
are as much concerned with the cause
as with the fact, and it is right that
the cause be ~ascertained, and, if pos
sible, removed. If the reduction Of
the customs tax is responsible, that
can and ought to be amended without
delay.
1t is a popular conception that the
more you tax an article the greater
its selling price must be to the CON
sumer. That is the rule, but we arc
told that there r exceptions to al
rules, and maybe sugar prices arr
governed by an exception: maybe
the lower it's tax the higher it's cost

The Creamery people are in trouble
with Uncle Samuel. He says they
have been buncoing him, 10 these
many years. Now, the Creamery
people have been highly favored by
the old gentlemen, and one may con-
lecture the measure of his indignation
at their ungrateful delinquency. A
heavy tax, for their benefit, was put
upon oleomsrgerine, and various
other burdens inflicted upon that in
FAINT industry, in order to crush out its
competition with alleged "cow but
ter" The Creamery Trust is charged
with having expended great sums of
money in order to have the ban put
on cleo. Fifty Thousand dollars, it is
said, was expended in this State, and
the Lord only how much elsewhere.
This recalls to my mind the damphool
action of the members Of the so-called
Democratic legislature while the out
rageous anti oleomarger1ne law was
pending in Congress. They passed a
resolution %instructing Senator Vest to
vote for the bill He told them fatty
that he would not; that the law was
I'M Democratic and oppressive, and
he would do his utmost to defeat it.
"There u.s." said he, "sunshine outside
the Senate chamber, and I will retire
to private life rather than violate my
sense of right" That ended the ep-
isode, and silence yelled the thoughts
of the resolutioners like a pail
Isn't it about time for a Democratic
administration to wipe out the OBJ
noxious enactment Senator Vest de-
nounced?

course-the "outs" are given to kick

the leaders saw nothing in it to con-
denim, while the organs, big and little,
tacitly endorsedit. So, as Ihave here
tofore remarked, rebuke of Demo-
cratic officials for following the ex-
ample set them does not lie in the
mouth of the G. o. p. However, it
must be confessed that 'twould have
been better to have never given
Democratic endorsement to q ques-
tionable practice by adopting it. This,
notwithstanding the Sc%riptural as
surance that ''if any provide not for
his own, and specially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith,
and is worse than an infidel."

Two months ago wheat sold at 7t
cents a bushel; the price quoted Sat
urday was 1311S-an advance of over

The Texas State Democratic Con-
vention, which adjourned Wednesday,

ed to give agricultural legislation first
attention by the next Legislation of
Texas. Hon. James E. Ferguson was
declared the nominee of the party for
Governor, having received As 500 votes
more than his opponent in the recent
primary election. The principal issue
of the campaign was prohibition. Mr..
Ferguson, in campaigning the State,
promised, if elected, to veto all liquor
measures submitted to him by the
Legislature. The Texas Farmers
Union demanded a cessation Of pro-
hibition agitation and that the Legis-
lature give first attention to agricul-
tural legislation, and the votes show
the result is largely due to their influ-
ence and efforts.

The long looked for bomb has beer
dropped into our camp right here in
Sikeston. 1t has been a preplexing
question as to how to raise finances
to run the city when the saloons
finally close. Mayor Smith and the
Board of Aldermen have held several
conferences to discuss ways and
means of raising this revenue. City
Attorney Moore has searched the law
from A to 2 and it was concluded the
only way open would be the occupa-

crowd of the business men met with
the alderman to discuss the PROPOSE
ton. Not one was in favor of the tax
but none could suggest a solution
Mayor Smith told them of his visit to
Dexter and Charleston where like
conditions existed and the same sort
of a tax was resorted to. In Sikestor
it will be necessary to assess a pretty
heavy tax because the city treasury
is now depleted. While no other way
seems possible at this time to raise
the revenue, it was the luminous de-
sire of those present and interested
to keep the city moving instead o.
going backward. At no distant day
