TO CHEAPEN SUGAR.
HOW TARIFF CONCESSIONS MIGHT
HELP THE CONSUMER.
While Reducing the Duty on Cuba-*
Raw Product the Duty on Reflned
Sugar Should be Correspondingly
Lswe. ed — Prospective Trust Profits
If the friends of the “Cuban Relief”
proposition are really desirous of doing
something for the American consumer
while “relieving” the Cuban producer,
they can accomplish this result by
adopting the plan submitted by Repre
sentative Morris of Minnesota. This
plan, briefly stated, provides that the
tariif reduction on raw sugar shall also
apply to reflned sugar. The bill as re
ported from the ways and means com
mittee makes a reduction of 20 per
cent in the duty on raw sugar, but
leaves the duty on refined sugar as it
is now. It cheapens the cost of raw
sugar to the refinerB to the extent
of the tariff reduction, without cheap
ening the market price of the refined
product. That is what Mr. Havemeyer
meant when a few weeks ago he an
nounced that the selling price of re
fined sugar would not be in the least
degree affected by the reduction, or
even the removal, of the duty on raw
sugar. He knew what he was talking
about. He knew that the greatest
boon that a Republican congress could
possibly confer upon the sugar tru.'t
would be to cheapen raw sugar by
means of tariff reduction, while re
taining the full tariff on refined sugar.
He knew that almost the entire bulk
of money thus lost to the United
States treasury would, in such an
event, find its way into the sugar trust
treasury.
There is not a single Republican in
congress or out of congress whose
bowels of compassion yearn for suf
fering Cuba who does not know that
in cutting down the tariff on raw sug
ar and leaving intact the duty on re
fined 3ugar he assists in swelling the
profits of the sugar trust by many mil
lions of dollars. There might be some
excuse for a Republican at either end
of P««nsylvania avenue who did not
know, or did not believe, that the 450,
000 tons of sugar held on the wharves
in Cuba has long since passed out
of the hands of the planters who
raised it and into the hands of the
sugar trust, and hence that the pro
posed ‘‘relief’ measure would prove a
hollow mockery to the original pro
ducers of that sugar. The sugar trust
has covered its tracks so skillfully that
even Governor Wood might be par
doned for his inability to find the trail
and for publicly asserting that practi
cally all of the held-up sugar is still
owned by the parties who raised it.
Ignorance and excessive credulity
might possibly reach these extremes,
but that is the limit. To vote for or to
approve of a scheme of tariff reduction
that withdraws protection from do
mestic producers and adds millions to
the already swollen gains of the sugar
trust by leaving that concern in the
full enjoyment of a tariff protected
profit margin would be bad economics,
bad statesmanship, bad politics. We
cannot believe that the Republican
party will be made to stand for a blun
der so atrocious as to amount to a
crime.
The American Economist, speaking
for the principle and policy of protec
tion, deprecates as ill-advised and un
called for the entire scheme of tariff
reduction for the benefit of aliens and
to the injury of our own producers,
but, if any scheme of the kind shall
unfortunately prevail, it earnestly
hopes that through the retention cf
the differential on the finished produit
while reducing the duty on the crude
material it will not take the shape jf
a big prize package for the sugar
trust.
Not Much Relief.
The cut in duty, making it apply so
that but 80 per cent of the lawful rate
shall be collected on Cuban products,
will not give Cuban sugar planters
much relief. They will have to sell
their raw sugar to the sugar trust,
which owns the only refineries, and
the trust will, of course, see that they
get practically nothing of the advan
tage which the lowered rate is sup
posed to give them. But if congress
would adopt the Tawney plan of col
lecting the full duty and giving the
rebate to the planters direct, the re
lief would be sure and they would get
all of it. In that case perhaps the
20 per cent proposed would be enough.
But with the direct cut the refineries
would get the benefits up to a point
where it would be scandalous to refuse
to divide with the sugar growers.—
Salt Lake City Tribune.
Fre*-Tra<le In Cattle.
The Philadelphia Record, in dealing
with the meat trust question, says:
"It is not pretended, however, by
the most sanguine champions of free
trade that mere repeal of the meat
duties would destroy this rapacious
combination against the American
people.”
Nevertheless, the Record thinks that
we should begin by repealing the tariff
“behind which the trust has in
trenched itself with the false pretense
that the duties on meats are imposed
solely to protect American farmers,”
But is it on false pretense that
duties on meats are imposed to protect
American farmers. Does not the
Record give away its whole contention
in this regard when it urges the repeal
of the tariff on live animals so that
cattle can De imported tree ot duty
from Mexico and Canada, and thus
cheapen the cost of meat to American
consumers? How shall the cost of
meat be cheapened to the consumer
unless the price of the American farm
er’s cattle be first cheapened? Free
trade !n cattle would undoubtedly
lower the prlee paid for American
beeves, but it would not necessarily
lower the retail price of meat. Trusts
know how to get over international
boundary lines.
Friends and Enemies In Accord.
For the first time in nearly five
years the Republican party represen
tatives in Congress have been called
upon to vote on the question, Shall
the Dingley tariff be sustained? In
order to secure an affirmative answer
to this question these Republicans
have been compelled to rely upon the
assistance of their political adver
saries. With the aid of free-trade
Democratic votes these Republicans
have succeeded in attacking and un
dermining the principle and policy of
protection to American labor and in
dustry. Is not this a strange position
of affairs, that a Republican measure
should be assailed by its friends and
its assassination accomplished by the
aid of its enemies? It is done under
the plea that we owe something to
Cuba. A monstrous debt, indeed, that
requires such payment!
-—. - -.—
Bmi Way of Help.
The Republicans in the House who
favor relief for Cuba and also believe
in protection, have, it appears, laid
down their ultimatum. They stand by
the principle of the Tawney amend
ment, They oppose any reduction in
the sugar tariff, but will help the
actual planters by granting them a
stated rebate. This takes the matter
out of the hands of the sugar trust,
and gives whatever is to be conceded
direct to the producer of the sugar.
It is undoubted that this is the best
way of help, and it should carry, if
there is to be any concession at all.
But Cuba, from all accounts, is in bet
ter industrial and financial condition
right now than ever she was in all her
history.—Salt Lake City Tribune.

No Sentiment In Trade.
There is no sentiment in trade, and
foreigners do not buy of us simply be
cause we buy of them. That is amply
demonstrated by our trade with South
America. Brazil imports over $100,
000.000 worth and the United States
supplies about 10 per cent of those
imports. The United States buys from
Brazil five times as much as it sells
to that country, and it carries on a
one-sided trade of that kind with
other South American countries—
Philadelphia Press.
Womanly Virtues.
First, one must understand that
what attracts men and what they like
are not always the same thing.
A man is often attracted by a be
witching smile, but a good-tempered
woman in the end ha3 the greatest
hold on him and wins his respect. It
is a mistake to think that in these
days men prefer brainless, silly wo
men, says the Buffalo Times.
On the contrary, they like those who
have bright, quick brains, who take
an interest in things around them and
can talk sensibly on subjects in which
they themselves are interested, though
if the women possess superior knowl
edge on any one topic they will do well
to keep that fact in the background
and play the part of interested listen
ers.
Irreverent women are an abomina
tion to men. Whatever may be their
own religious opinions, if they have
any, at any rate they like to feel that
women cling to the faith which tJhey
once learned at their mother’s knee.

On Antioch, see Lesson V. “Prophets.”
These were men of insight and foresight,
with minds especially susceptible to di
vine Influences. "Teachers.” Instructors
in truth anil duty; those who studied
Clod's Word and his providence, and the
nature of men, and instructed the church.
The difference is something like that be
tween preachers and teachers, evangel
lists and more permanent pastors, poets
and logicians.
"Barnabas. Simeon, Lucius, Manaen
and Saul." Mentioned last as the latest
comer, perhaps the youngest, and as
Luke wns writing probably what Paul
himself told him. he would naturally place
himself last. "As they ministered to the
Lord." They^ were giving themselves up
to special meetings for religious services,
seeking the higher life and a fuller
knowledge of duty. “And fasted," Fast
ing would seem to have its basis in a
grief over sin so deep and intense that
ail desire for focal is taken away; or such
a strong desire for holiness, for the prog
ress of God's work, for the removal of

Therefore it implies that we are doing

whereunto I have called them." Paul was
called definitely at the time of his con
version, Barnabas perhaps In a more
general way. by fitness, by providence,
by an inward call, by spiritual longing.
Finding Our Mission. God has called
each of us to some special work in his
kingdom. It is of the first importance
that we find out what that work is, and
enter upon our Father's business We
can find out In the same way that Paul
and Barnabas did; The Holy Spirit will
teach us. The promise is as true to us
as to them.
III. Their First Mission Field. Tne
Contest for a Soul.—Vs 4-11. "Sent forth
by the Holy Ghost,” as related above.
Luke keeps before our minds the fact
that the origin of the missionary work
was the Holy Spirit. The disciples be

tion; now they went spontaneously under
the influence of the Spirit. "Departed”
(when down from the higher land to the
sea) “unto Seleueia.” The seaport of
Antioch, sixteen miles away down the
river Orontes. ”Sailed to Cyprus.” A
voyage of eighty to one hundred miles
“They preached the word of God.”
God's message of love and salvation
through Jesus the Christ. "In the syna
gogues.” As was their invarialde custom
to do at first. For the Jews were most
easily reached, since they believed the
Bible and expected the Messiah. "And
they had also John." John Mark, author
of the Gospel according to Mark, cousin
of Barnabas, and son of Mary of Jeru
salem (Acts 12: 12. 23). "To their minis
ter." For their assistant or attendant.
"L’nto Paphos.” Now Baffo, at the west

Sergius Paulus accepted the gospel. "Saul

Now that he Is beginning his labors among

had been adopted by Satan by his own
choice: an immense fail from his child

"The hand of the Lord.” not of Paul.
Paul announced the fact, but did not pro
duce it. Hand is the Instrument by which
a work is performed. "And thou shalt

phrase indicates total blindness. "For a
season.” "Cntil the time,” when he
should cease his opposition, and God sees
fit to restore his sight. God punishes only
so much as Is necessary. The blindness
was doubtless like that of St Paul him
self, to give him an opportunity to come
into spiritual light. He could think, but
he could do no harm while he was blind.
IV7. The First Convert (so far as the
history relates).—V. 12. "Then the dep

reason for believing. The apostles had
been teaching and preaching, and this
miracle completed the evidence and turn
ed the scale. “Believed.” Became a dis
ciple of Christ. The victory was won.
"Being astonished at the doctrine (the
teaching) of the Lord,” both at the man

I ADVICE GIVEN BT SCOTCH PARSON
—
Minuter Sat Twenty Drinks m Day as
the Limit of Moderation.
A Scotch parson once preached a
long sermon against dram drinking,
a vice very prevalent Cn his parish, and
from which report said he was not
himself wholly exempt.
"Whatever ye do, brethren.” said he,
"do it in moderation, and, aboon all,
be moderate in dram-drinking. When
you get up, Indeed, ye may tak a dram,
and anither just before breakfast, and
perhaps anither after; but dinna be
always dram-drinking.
“If ye are out In the morn, ye
may just brace yerself up with anither
dram, and perhaps take anither be
fore luncheon, and some, I fear, tak
ane after, which is no so very blam
able, but dlnna be always dram-dram
lng away.
“Naebody can scruple for one just
afore dinner, and when the desert is
brought In, an’ after it’s ta’en away;
and, perhaps ane, or it may be twa, In
the course of the afternoon, just to
keep ye fra’ drowsing and snoozling;
but dlnna be always dram-dram-dram
ing.
"Afore tea, and after tea. and be
tween tea and supper, and before and
after supper. Is no more than right
and good; but let me caution ye,
brethren, not to be always dram-dram
ing.
"Just when ye start for bed, and
when ye're ready to pop into't. and
perhaps when you wake in the night,
to take a dram or twa is no more than
a Christian man may lawfully do;
I but, brethren, let me caution you not
to drink more than I've mentioned, or
may be ye may pass the bounds of
moderation!”—Mirror.
NO COURTESY IN STREET CARS
N*w York Paper Telle of * Somewhat
Pathetic Happening.
His face was very white and tired
and the deep lines in it showed plainly
that he was either in the clutch of a
new illness or was only just recover
ing from an old one. He had found a
seat in a corner of one of the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with a baby and a child five or six
years old entered. No one offered
them a seat; the sick man looked at!
the woman and the babies, and it was
evident he was engaged in a great
wrestling match with his sense of
courtsey. Presently his sense of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act. She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees. The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fif
tieth street a passenger left the seat
next to the woman and two babies.
The sick man started for it anxiously,
but before he had reached it the wo
man had lifted the child that had been!
leaning against her knee into the seat.
The sick man groped feebly for his
strap. Then the seat next to the older
child became vacant. Again the man
started for it. but he was weaker in
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained his balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown office boy, hanging from a
neighboring strap swung himself out'
of line, and in a considerably loud
voice, shouted to the sick man. "That's'
what you get!”—New York Post.
FOUND ADVICE WAS EXPENSIVE
The lnplea«ant Kjprrienee of a
monlonn legislator.
There is much amusement in Dres
den Parliamentary circles over a little
joke which was played on one of tbei
oldest members. The gentleman in
question, although somewhat miserly,
is very popular. Recently he injured
Ids finger, and, not caring to consult
his own doctor, sought the advice of
a brother member, an M. D., who'
told him what to do.
On the following day, however, the
old gentleman received a bill of 10
shillings from the doctor for medical
attendance. In his perplexity he con
fided in another colleague—a lawyer
this time—who pointed out his liability
and advised him to pay the bill.
The aged member’s astonishment
can best be imagined when he received
later the lawyer’s claim for 10 shill
ings for “advice given.” He indig
nantly complained to a third member
of this unbrotherly treatment, but this
third gentleman, entering into the
joke, brought the matter before the
committee which decides personal dif
ferences of the members.
Here the ease turned against the
accuser, and he was impeached for "re
fusing to acknowledge justified
claims,” and gravely sentenced to—buy
a case of champagne. The expensive
finger is now quite well.
Paris Prohibits Placards.
In Paris it was usual at every gen

placards posted upon them. At the
time of the Boulanger incidents bill
posters would follow In rapid succes
sion and stick bill upon bill until
there was not mo$e than one inch of
paper. The extremely ugly effect of
such placards and the damage done by
scraping down the posters after the
electoral battle Induced the chamber
to make a law prohibiting the posting
up of placards on what was termed'
artistic monuments.—Paris Messenger.
Many Partlei In Frunce.
There is no lack of parties in France.
In the pending elections which will

Plcblocitary, Royalist, Bonapartlst,
Republic, Liberal Collectivist, Progres

five different stripes of Socialists.
Then there are specialised parties,
such as Anti-Semites and Anarchists
