WHY free sugar and tax everything else.—Argus-News. Why free everything else and tax sugar.

TJIE sugar question is "delicate." "but President Cleveland's suggestion of an increase in the ad valorem duty has sent up the stocks in Wall street.

SENATOH VII.AK made a speech last •week in the Senate which for gusli and flapdoodle excels anything ever uttered in defense of the great man in the White House. Vilas is chief of the cuckoos.

PRKE sugar and dear clothing. That's the Republican party's idea of legislation.—.-I rgus-Ncws.-

Yes, but haven't you said that a high tariff decreases the price of wool? And conversely a low tariff' would increase the price.

THE reports from Washington are that Senator Voorhees and several Indiana members of the House are sick. If a Democrat would not sicken just now at the situation, would anything short of a double dose of epicac turn his stomach

THE Argus-News calls the Star's report of the Covington convention a "miserable screed.'" a "base misrepresentation." and a "wretched report.'" Behold how good and how pleasant it is for the Cuckoo and Swallowtail to dwell together in unity.

THE Louisiana Senators threaten tiie defeat of all so-called "tariff reform." unless the sugar of their constituents is "protected." Go on. brethren, with your "tariff reform." You will have a bubbling mess worse than the witches in Macbeth had. before you are done with the job.

THERE are now being operated under the orders of Federal courts 152 railroads with 43,000 miles of track and 500,000,000 of capital. That is to say, nearly one-fourth of the entire railway system of the country is in the hands of receivers, because the traffic has not paid expenses and yet there are men who claim that strikes are justifiable on account of the enormous profits of such corporations.

IT will be remembered that when the Mills bill was passed by the House and sent to the Senate, the latter body adopted a substitute for it differing from it in every essential particular. In the conference that followed, agreement was impossible, and so there was no legislation upon the subject. But in that case, one party controlled the House and the other the Senate, whereas in the present instance the Democrats have a majority in both branches and are therefore entirely responsible lor the result.

THE Argus-News thinks THE JOURNAL has made the startling discovery that there is no such a thing as "raw material." THE JOURNAL only lias a different view of what raw material is from that entertained by our neighbor. What TIIE JOURNAL believes is that the moment labor has been expended upon an article, that moment it ceases to be rawmaterial and becomes somebody's finished product. Wool is the farmer's finished product, as soon as it is clipped from the sheep but then it is the cloth manufacturer's raw material. When he has woven it into cloth, it is his finished product but then it is the tailor's raw material. When he has made it into a suit of clothes it is his finished product. Raw materials are just as we find them in nature, before any labor whatever, has been expended upon them—such as iron ore, or coal in the mountains, or standing trees in the forest. THE JOURNAL believes these industries should be developed from our own native resources, because it gives remunerative wages to our own workmen, affords fair returns to our own capital, and keeps in our own country the money that would otherwise go abroad to pay for such materials and labor, and because it prevents the reduction of the wages of our working people nearly or quite fifty per cent to the level of cheap foreign labor.

THE JOURNAL assures its esteemed contemporary of the Argus-News that it had no intention of doing that paper an injustice by the omission of a single work in the extract referred to. If the word "invariably" was omitted it was overlooked in the proof and was unintentional. For the purpose we had in view the word omitted did not change the sense. As corrected the paragraph reads:

And you might just as well added that the strikes have invariably occurred at the big protected industries.

Now as a matter of fact this is not true. The recent strike ordered by the American Railway Union was not in a protected industry. There have been strikes among the various building trades which are not classed among the protected industries, stich as carpenters, brick-layers, plasterers and plumbers, so that when the ArgusNcws states that "the strikes have invariably occurred at the big protected industries" it invariably shoots wide of the mark.

"You have observed," says lirooksliire. "the Democratic party, through its representatives in Congress, during the past year waging the most terrific and difficult fight against monopolistic greed and organized wealth ever witnessed in the world." Vory doubtless refers to the sugar trust, but then (irover Cleveland in his letter to Congressman Wilson says: "I suggest that we ought not to be driven away from the Democratic principle and policy which leads to the taxation of sugar by the fear, likely exaggerated, that in carrying out this principle and policy we may indirectly and inordinately encourage a combination cf sugar refining interests." According to Grover the distinguished Congressman from the Hightli district lias "quite likely exaggerated" the overshadowing vastness of the bloody battle in which he has been engaged. This is a "delicate subject," to quote Grover again, for cuckoos to tackle.

DANIEL WEBSTER in his great speech, running through three days in .luly. 1810, uttered thisgreat truth: "Proclaim it everywhere, and make it a proverb, that where there is work for the hands of men, there, will be work for their teeth. Where there is employment there will be bread. It is a great blessing to the poor to have cheap food, but greater than that, prior to that and of still greater value, is the blessing of being able to buy food, by honest and l-espectable employment. Employment feeds and clothes and instructs. Employment gives healtli. sobriety and morals Constant employment and well-paid labor produces, in a country like ours, general prosperity, content and cheerfulness."

REPRESENTATIVE BROOKSHIRE, in his letter to the Covington convention, says:

When we have passed a tariff bill at this session, which reduces the tariff taxes on the common necessaries of life used by the masses of our people and the poor, to a point which leaves little or no taxes upon the common necessaries of life, we will certainly have done an important work.

Yes, "when we have passed a tariff bill which reduces the tariff tax on the common necessaries of life." But "when" will that be? Will it be "when" a tariff tax of 40 to 00 per cent is put on sugar which is now free?

THAT was a neat piece of sarcasm of Senator llill when he said that he did not believe that the President had re' commended that coal be placed upon the free list because it would be greatly to the pecuniary profit of a syndicate of his personal friends who had purchased mines in Nova Scotia, but because he believed it was necessary to the welfare of the country. Mr. Hill's speech was most all satire and was made in a spirit of mischief.

THREATENED BLIGHT.

Mr. Brookshire, in his letter to the Covington convention, says: I think that within the next twenty days we will rid the statutes of our country of some of the most objectionable' legislation ever enacted by any political party in this country.

This of course refers to the Mclvinley tariff law. That act as it stands on the statute books represents the broadest statesmanship. It extended the free list, reducing the average ad valorem rate on all imported merchan dise to a trifle over 20 per cent. It gave the masses of the people the great boom of free sugar. It reduced the duties wherever it was possible to do so without injury to American manufactures. It fearlessly increased duties wherever by so doing it was possible to establish on this side of the Atlantic an industry employing American labor and American capital. It strengthened the administration of thfe custom laws by substituting specific for ad valorem duties, thereby decreasing the possibilities of fraud. It adjusted rates of duties to the needs of business with the one patriotic aim of employing the largest amount of American capital or the greatest number of American artisans for the benefit of the home market. No sooner was this law enacted, which 'Mr. Brookshire is pleased to term "most objectionable legislation," than the current began to run in our direction—the direction of the United States. Mills, factories and workshops began to spring tip all over the country. Many large industries moved their entire plant to the United States. The manufacture of tin plate, of various other metals, of pearl buttons, of lace, of plush and a hundred other commodities was established. Wages stiffened. Additional hands were employed. New factories were built. The country as everybody knows was prosperous. The working classes were employed. To say that the McKinley law increased the cost of anything cannot for an instant be sustained, for it is admitted that never in the history of the country has the American workman been able to purchase so much for a given sum of money as during this period. Had the McKinley law been allowed to stand, with no threat hanging over the country for its repeal, this prosperity would have continued. The present depression and industrial ruin would have been averted. Instead of McKinley-. ism, with its prosperity, its high wages and abundant work, the Nation is now threatened with the blight of Hrookshireism. The very heart's core—its industries—are to be destroyed. The wages of labor, so free trade organs coldly announce, must be reduced. They are too high, they proclaim. If ridding the statutes of this "most objectionable legislation" and the passage of either the Senate or the House, bill means ruin, why ruin it must be. The wiping out of this legislation means shrinkage of values, reduced wages, men and women out of employment. ruined manufactures, closed workshops. If Mr. P.rooksliire is "proud of the record of the Democratic party"' during the past year and a half liis pride, is easily satiated.

A SPECIAL to the Indianapolis News of last evening says:

All idea that the final outcome will be other than the Senate bill, practically. has been abandoned. It is thought that the duty on sugar will be fixed by conferees at 45 per cent, ad valorem. The sugar people will accept this it is said, on good authority. They figure it out that the duty mentioned is about equivalent to the 40 per cent, with the one-eighth differential. Everything points to an early agreement and consequently an early adjournment. Some disturbing factors may crop up here and there, but thev will be quieted,

So the final outcome of "tariff reform" is to be a tax of 45 per cent, on sugar, which is now free. Truly this is "sweetness long drawn out." Mr. Cleveland savs there must be a tariff tax on sugar, and so must it be. The "free breakfast table" is to be heard of no more in Democratic platforms and stump speeches.

MR. BROOKSHIRE. in his letter to the Covington convention, says: And moreover, when we have lifted over §30,000,000 of burdensome taxation from the shoulders of the common people and placed it on the incomes of wealthy individuals and corporations, we certainly will have taken a most important step indeed.

Mr. Cleveland in his late letter to Chairman Wilson, says: You know how much I deprecated the incorporation in the proposed bill of the income tax feature.

Now is Brookshire or the President the true representative of Democracy on this subject? Brookshire favors and Mr. Cleveland "deprecates the incorporation of the income tax" in the tariff bill. Which is the true apostle of Democratic doctrines?

THE sum and substance of Democratic tariff reform has dwindled down to a tariff tax of 45 per cent, on sugar, under which the poorest family in the country is compelled to pay just as much tax to support the National government as the millionaire with a family of equal number. It is true, wool is put on the free list, but the majority of Democratic papers claim that this will make wool higher, and therefore increase the price of "raw material." na...

IN the long and verbose letter which Congressman Brookshire wrote to the Covington Convention he could name but one thing which this Congress had done and that was the repeal of the Federal election law, a law that was practically a dead letter before it was repealed. Why he steered clear of the repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the the Sherman .law it is vain to imagine unless it was for the reason that about three-fourths of the Democratic constituents and all of the Populists were opposed to repeal. This is a tender subject with many of his followers and no person was better aware of it than Vorv.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is smoking out such fellows as Gorman and giving the country a chance to see just what kind of Democrats they are.— •1 rgus-News.

The smoking out process seeing to be a two handed game, and the country will get to see what kind of Democrats both the President and Goi-man are. It will be the Senate bill. or nothing.

THE Frankfort Crcsccnt says the House will surrender to the Senate, the conference committee will agree, their report will be adopted, President Cleveland will sign the bill, and that will be the beginning of what will ultimately be the end—free trade and direct taxation. The Democracy should be honest enough to put this in their olatform.

ALL signs point to another disagreement in the conference on the tariff bill between the two Houses. The House members will stand by the President and the Senators will support Senator Gorman. Whichever wins the measure will reek with scandal.

THE Dallas (Texas) News, a Democratic paper, hits the nail on the head when it says: "The Democratic party is apparently down with a chronic case of disintegration."

The Bank Always Wins.

One man succeeds and another man fails and people wonder how it happens. It seems sometimes to people who don't think deeply that the weaker, duller man goes ahead and that his more brilliant brother sticks in the rut at the first round of the ladder.

Slight differences in men seem make all the wide differences between success and failure.

In games of chance the "bank" has only a slight percentage, but the bank always wins.

Back of every result is a reason. Back of business success are earnestness, energy, persistence, concentration. Between these and achievement is advertising.

No man ever yet made a success of business without advertising of some sort. Maybe he didn't call it advertisng, but it was advertising just the same.

Knows More Than "We I)o. The following clipping, taken from a paper published at Leeds, England, has been sent to a resident of this city, and shows what we do not know concerning the strike:

A big revolution is now going on in the I nited States of America, and their is little doubt but that the government will be defeated. The dictator, Debs, has been driven from his palace, and he and his ministers are now hiding in the mountains. The greatest trouble has been experienced in the capital of Chicago, where Grover Cleveland, the ring leader of the rebels, has obtained complete control. The railroad track at that place was torn up and thrown into the Mississippi river, a stream considerably larger than the Severn, and the stock yards, where the government palaces are situated, have been razed to the ground. The trouble was started by a man named Pullman, who has a stronghold in the mountains of Illinois, one of the most considerable provinces of the country. The man Pullman manufactures a cattle car."

XOltMAL ITKMS.

"What did you think of the "examination?" Mr. McBeth begins the work in Methods this week.

Fifty normal students worked for Supt. Zuck Saturday. Nine counties now have representatives among the students.

Mr. Ewing and Mr. Stilwell assisted Supt. Zuck in conducting the examination Saturday.

Several students are here for the first time. Among them are John Rosebaum, '97, Miss Lola Benefiel, Colfax Mrs. Jennie Biddell, Mace.

The auburn haired girl with the gum has received a confession from the fellows for whom she prescribed lead pills. They are boys who are doing catch-up work in the college summer school.

White Lead as Preservative.

English Mechanic. The advantages of using genuine white lead for painting surfaces, especially iron work, have been known for years, but an instance mentioned by Sir William Arrol will serve to impress the fact on the memory. Some years ago he purchased the materials of old Hammersmith Bridge for the purpose of using a portion in erecting a temporary plant at one of his large undertakings. The iron work has been in position sixty-two years, and many of the parts, owing to inaccessibility, had not been painted since they were placed in position. Finding them in so remarkable a state of preservation Sir William Arrol had some of the paint analyzed, when it was found to be genuine white lead.
