Fraud Exposed. A few counterfeiters have lately been making and trying to sell imitations of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colda, and other medicines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn you to beware of such people, who seek to profit, through stealing the reputation of remedies which have been successfully curing disease, for over 36 years.

One of them died and was buried Wednesday at the Prater cemetery east of Blackford. The other is not expected to live. The mother is getting along as well as could be expected. Sunday morning, August 6th, dawned with a soft and balmy breeze; the sun arose in its usual way; the birds singing amid the trees; the lark soaring high seemed to be chirping its coral of farewell; and the grain of the fields waving to and fro, all speaking in one chorus, the token of a bright and pleas - ant day. Such was the beginning of the above day. When the people began to roll into town long before the milk train time reminded us that this was "excursion day” to Cedar Lake. Thus they came, husband and wife mother and daughter, father and son, sweetheart and lover, all bound for the lake. They came one hundred strong to the ticket window with smiles on their faces as though they were looking through the port holes of heaven, which foretold the enjoyment they expected at the end of the Some went for adventure, some for pleasure, others to see the ball game, some to see the lake and glide upon its waters, others as gazers, some for one thing and some for two, and others to take in the excursion around the lake on the Monon Boat.

HIGH COST OF SUGAR

How the Trust Is Enabled to Advance Prices at Will. TARIFF ’ PROTECTION DOES IT Extraordinary Provisions of the Dingier Law to Protect the Monopoly Barons—Permits an Arbitrary Increase of Over Twenty Per Cent. Concerninar Differentials. Housewives have no doubt noticed at this fruit preserving season that ■ugar. is much dearer than it was a year ago. Then it was 4*4 or 5 cents a jiaund; now It Is 6 or OMi cents. No disease has struck the sugar cane, and just as much, if not more, sugar is being produced, but the robber barons who control the sugar trust have a monopoly and so they advanced the price 20 per cent. There is a difference of about 2% cents a pound between the price of raw sugar aud the refined, and the cost of refining Is less than half a cent a pound. So it is easy to figure the enormous profit that the trust makes on the 2,579,042 tons (or au average of seventy-one pounds for every man, woman and child) that are consumed by the people of the United States. If as you are making your preserves you ponder over the reasons for this arbitrary increase in the price of sugar, just bear in mind that the tariff is what allows the trust barons to rob you. If the complicated tariff sugar schedule was simplified and reduced by even what is known as the “differential duty,” leaving the regular duty of about 1 cent a pound to be collected, the price of sugar would be considerably reduced, and if sugar was free it would sell for 2% cents a pound. But as the Republicans are running the country in debt and there is a large deficit in receipts over expenditures in the treasury it will be impossible to abolish all the tariff tax on sugar, as the money is needed to run the government The duty on sugar varies according to its degree of purity. One hundred degree sugar—that is, refined, such as the granulated sugar generally usedpays 1 95-100 cents a pound, while 75 degree sugar—that is, raw brown sugar —pays 95-100 of a cent a pound, and .035 of a cent is added for each additional degree of purity. The duty on 100 degree sugar is therefore 1.825 cents. But as 100 degree is pure sugar —that is, refined—the law says the duty on it shall be 1.95 cents, or oneeighth of a cent a pound more than the equivalent duty on sufficient raw to make one pound of refined sugar. This one-eighth of a cent is the “differential.” It is the amount per pound the refiners can collect from consumers over and above the amount of duty’ which the refiners have to pay on the raw sugar. There is also protection bidden in the graduated scale of duties on raw sugar which probably increases the “differential” to one-fourth of a cent a pound, or about $13,000,000 a year, which is the special protection the trust enjoys and which you all have to help to pay, besides the regular tariff tax. This protection prevents importation of refined sugar and allows the trust to advance the price at its own sweet will. To stop this extortion from the American people the tariff must be so adjusted that if the trust advances the price beyond a reasonable difference between raw and refined sugar foreign refiners will export their refined sugar here and compete with the trust. The Republican party is opposed to reducing the tariff taxes and especially the sugar duties, so the housewife that is pondering over the increased cost of sugar will have to advise the voters in her family to vote for- the Democratic candidates for congress or be content to still pay the tariff tax and the extra trust profit ;

South American Trade.

The Intimation from Washington that the administration intends shortly to take vigorous measures “to Insure respect for American Interests not only in Venezuela, but In other South American republics,” leads the Dallas News (Dem.) to say pertinently: "The policy of the present administration, with its ministers ‘treading on dangerous ground’ and its steamy warriors at the top, has led almost every one of the Spanish republics to boycott our trade and to regard us as unscrupulous enemies. The preposterous interpretation of the Monroe doctrine and the mistreatment of Colombia have cost us in possible and prospective profits probably ten times as much as we would have had to pay for a lawful deed to the right of way."

Stamp Tax For Deffcit.

Senator Dick of Ohio, in Washington for a few days recently, took occasion to suggest a way to make up the deficit that has been worrying Secretary Shaw. He said: “I have come to the conclusion that about the best thing will be to impose the Spanish war revenue taxes on numerous articles, especially the stamp taxes, where the taxation is barely felt by the masses of the people. * * * I have not gone into the subject in detail, but my idea would be to affix a stamp tax on checks, stocks, bonds, legal papers, patent medicines and all such things.’*

The fever has been prevalent long enough to have assumed a quite rirulent "type, but instead it is appatently less malignant than it was when It first appeared, and the doctors believe that if the first cases could have been taken hold of at once aud subjected to pdMer treatment, the total of deaths would have been considerably smaller than has been now recorded. Many of the cases which are now being reported, except among the Italians. are mild in character and readily respond to the treatment given them.
