At the same time it jrives them free raw sugar. This is tery much of a one-siileil harpain. 1- The retiners employ almost no American workingmeu. 'X Tlie wages they pay uro perhaps the lowest paid in any industry. X, While the duty was ostensibly only intended to cover the "diiterenee" in wages between this and otiier eountries it is, in fact, fully five times the total labor cest of reliuiriir, which does not now exceed one-tenth of one cent per pound. 4. While the refiners have formed a trust to collect the Inst cent possible unilcr the contract, they have uot only closed many reiineries and thrown out hundreds of wagevcarners. hut thev have shamefully mistreated those; still employed. The government, being u silent partner n the sugar trust and guaranteeing profits of one-half cent a pootiil on tlie 4 .utMKKt.OOO pounds -of sugar annually consumed here, might naturally be supprised to have the right to examine u.e books occasionally. This Is necev Miry not only in order to see that the contract is faithfully performed nut In tnicr to .supply a basis for future ayrectucnts. Tue .ensus statistics, taken every ten years, might answer for this purpose. 1 . 1 V' 0, however, the sugar refiners refuse I to show their books or to submit ? itcments to census ollictals Some of u smaller refiners submitted careless- . e-diipiled or incomplete stititics. . at several of the largest made nc attempt to "give away their business' by milying with the "act to provide for t.io.r.,' the eleventh ar.l subsequent I Ml-." ' nder these conditions it would take an unusual amount of assurance for an ministry to ask congress to renew the contract or to ask to have the governwent continue as the financial Irieker f the industry. Yet this is what the Mi.ir trust is doing with a vigor not fi ami outside of of the wuil-nauriMied, protected "infant industries." The sugar infant has", in fact, gerne to Washington with its millions of unclean dollars to stay there until it can. by trll-t-rv. get what it wants or defeut all tar tl' legislation and thus compel tlie government to continue its partnership under the McKinley contract. ('n March 'Jb Senator l'ettigrew offered a resolution, which the senate agreed to, calling on the census olliee to state whether it was a fact that the suirar trust, substantially alone among ad manufacturers in this country, refused to answer the census questions, (ol Carroll D. Wright made, to congress the same reply that Mr. Robert 1 l'orter made more than a year ago, inkling to it his reasons for advising the department of justice to discon tinue the suits against the refusing refiners. Concerning this reply the .Journal of Commerce and the Commercial Bulletin of March 'Jit, ts'.M. said: "The superintendent of the census made a report to congress last year of h.s efforts to get from the sugar relinks the same sort of information that 1 e had got from the Hour mill-owners t.ie steel rail makers und the woolen manufacturers. Harrison, Kra.Ser ,fc ".of Philadelphia, made a report so tie -eient as to be worthless; they were requested to supply the missing information, and they refused, Mr. l'orter eiiiled their attention to the act of uly. 1MKJ, and tlie3 promised to stipp.y the information, but they failed to Keep their promise. Tlie Louisiana Sugar Refilling Co., -of New Orleans, and the Havemoyer Sugar lletining o., of Brooklyn, referred all the census olliciuls to the American Sugar ltelimng Co., at No. 117 Wall street The Havemever refinery in Jersey City re"erred all census inquiries to Matthiessen .t Wieehers at the same address. Agents of the census went again and again to No. 117 Wall street. 'From written reports on file in this office, ' savs the superintendent, 'it appears they received numerous promi-"-. und at other limes refusals, to coinnly with the requirements of the law. They tina'ly reported, however, that they were satisfied that further elTorts on tneir part to secure the returns would U w ithout avail."' "W hy should sugar refiners be any more reluctant to 'give their business awav' than iron or lumber or cotton iiten'.' If Mr. Havciucycr will not obey ti-elaw, why should the law make .Mr. Havemever exceptionally opulent? He certainly would not invest any of hl money in a businesH the particulars of which were refused to him: but he and ''s associates and their hired agents us. st that the people of the I'nited States shall guarantee them profits of twelve million dollars a year, though they refuse to ;unswer the census questions that other people answer. ' It is about time that this foolishness tvere stopped. Jf there is uny reason way the refiniMfi are entitled to protean,, by the tariff, let them show it It is intolerable effrontery that these "P-'ople should refuse to answer the orMiliary census questions that ei-cry one elve answers ami demand from the government they defy, anil whose laws they trample on, a rate of protection that enables them to divide 22 per -cent in a year on their vastly inflated tcotnn)t stock. Let tlie kiigar reticiers obey the law or get along without the Mil of the law." After observing that only the smaller manufacturers of sugar and nmlusses fun pretended to answer census inquiries, the .Journal of Commerce ami Commercial bulletin of April 14, 101, whl: "it is prohaWc that these 'concerns e smaller profit than the great rejhifrieH that compose the trust, partly bttaiHi: iniwü their products are t

11. ulted consumption, and mainly because they were willing to answer tho census questions. The only reason thi Migar trust can possibly have had tvt refusing to answer the census quc.-tlors is that if the country knew what enormous profits it was making it would no longer a mini it a protective duty, It is concealing the facts in order to prevent the reduction of the sugnr duty. It is obtaining money under the false pretense that it needs protection. "ltalsoapiear.sfroin th.i censtis bulletin that wages constitute a phenomenally .small item in the cost of sugar ami molasses. Ju these smaller establishments whereof course those economies for the accomplishment of which trusts are formed are impossible, there was only two and one-fifth less than two in refineries) cents" worth of labor in a dollar's worth of sugar. Where wages cut so small a figure in the total an increasu or decrease of wages, or a difference between wages in one place or another, is insignificant Hut the wages in the sugar business arc exceptionally low. The average wages in all manufacturing industries in lbOO were Sa$ hut in the sugar and molasses business they were only ?:174. The sugar business appears to be at or near the head of all industries in profits, anil at the foot of all industries in the proportion of its earnings distributed to labor and in the rate of wages paid." "Not only has the sugar trust openly defied and violated the census laws and thus rendered almost worthless the whole census for but it is perhaps the greatest law-breaker now doing business in our territory. It flagrantly and constantly violates the federal antitrust laws, us well as those of New York and all other states that have such laws It alsodisrcgards the interstate commerce net in that it has made secret contracts with many railroads so that it obtains discriminating rates andean quote freight rates prepaid at less than the usual rates for sixthclass freight It shares its illegal spoils with its large sugar dealers in our cities and thus subsidi.es them. This is one of the reasons (rebates are another) why the wholesale grocers sticks to the trust and do its bidding as they did when hundreds of them sent telegrams to congress asking members to vote against Warner's free sugar a uiendment Tins high-handed law-breaker, criminal anil conspirator is now in congress 'holding up" legislation until it can get a renewal of its license for robbery and spoliation. It should be kicked from our legislative halls and outlawed, even if we should have to lay discounting duties to break up this band of conspirators. Congress should investigate the lxioks of this robber gang to see what laws it breaks and to see liow the spoils are divided and to what corrupt uses they are put Kvno.v W. Hoi.t. WHAT IT MEANS. I.ennn to II i.rariiftl from the Rrrrtn Klrrtlon. It Is useless to deny or belittle the fact that there is a widespread reaction among the voters of the countrj against the democratic party. The town elections in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan tell the same story as those of New York. NcwJersey and Pennsylvania, and the state election in Rhode Island shows the same causes at work in a more important field. And the reaction is not only sharp but it is persistent It is even more manifest in the spring elections than it was in those of last fall. There can be no dispute as to the fact that the political tide is running strongly against the democrats. As to its meaning, there is room for a wide difference of opinion. The protectionists in both parties profess to see in it a reversal of the verdict against McKinleyism that was rendered so overwhelmingly in lS'JO and The anti-administration democrats insist that it is due to Mr. ''lereluuu's deficiencies as a party leader. The Cleveland democrats anil the revenue reform-' ers regard it as the result of the "hard times" through which the country has passed during the last year. There is an element of truth In all these, but the real cause of the reaction is popular disgust with a party which can do nothing apparently except wrangle and dodge. The democrat in tin- house, and especially those in the senate, have presented a spectacle of impotence and cowardice from which any party in the best of times would suffer grievously. The elections of the last five years have shown that there is no stable majority in the country for either party. The voters are obviously seeking for some party that will carry ost bravely and honestly when in power the promises it made when in opposition. They have not yet found one. and there will be no political stability until they da Reactions are sure to follow victories that simply substitute onoset of greedy, dishonest and evasive partisans for another.

Worse Thnn Urnrtllrt Arnaltf. The democratic press of the soutt continues to denounce Senator Hill a! a traitor to his party, with intcasc bitterness, in some instances. The Memphis Commercial declares that to compare him with Aaron Iturrand He tied id Arnold is to heap "more than their share of odium on these historic traitors." The Natchez Democrat observes that if Hill's slogan is still "1 am a democrat" "we say (toil save the parly from such democrats." 'Tin Chattanooga Times says that Hill's active enmity to the president, has invariably had the most insignificant result und is worth no serious man's atffnthm. "What more has he accomplished," it says, "than securing the rejection of a few appointments and hanging- up some other.? -and this has he been enabled to do, not by virtue of any influence of his own, but by tho force of an unwritten rule governing patronnjje brokerage in tlie Keaate." "Everywhere the .senate's exasperating plowness since the tariff hill left the house ha told tfrainst th democratic party at the polls. Let us hato action, action, action!" sujg thcUoohev tcr lJcrahl (Ind.).

Tho fourth year of Solomon was about 11.

Hut la Gen. 15:13, II, it Is said that they should be strangers la a strange land, r.nil to added four hundred yea's, and nearly the name Is r,ald In 1.x. 12: ix Hut, In very truth, the children of Israel were strangers In a strar.se land from tho lime that Abraham left his lotm! for tho promised land, aid during that whole period of four hun. drcd ami thirty years to the cxoJus tbiv were nowhere ra'.tra in the land So hi Ex. 12 40 It Is srd t that tlx- tojotirmr.R of the children of Israel, who dwelt la Egypt, wa four hundred and thirty yean.

Hy a series of strange providences, and for the purpose of developing and training them into n people who could embody the kingdom of God on earth, Jacob nnd his sons had come mto Ejfypt, The names are given here of the heads of the tribes or families. It is tobe noticed that they came every man and his household, which faet is of some importance in computing the time needful for their increase to G00.000 men who went out from Egypt in the exodus (Num. 1:4). A hint as to the nmnlicrs of the hotnelmlds may he ' gained from the fact that in Abraham's household there were at lenst 318 men who could bear nnns (Gen. 14: 14). '"nie servants were reckoned ns part of the household, and were admitted to the covenant anil recognized as Israelite's (Gen. 17: 271." Todd. The seventy souls are given in detail in Gen. 40. Of these sixty-eifrht are men. Their wives and daughters were additional. This faet also is to be taken into account in the calculation in regard to the increase. 0. Ami Joseph died. I.

For seventeen years he lived at home, in Hebron; ten years he was a slave in Egypt, three years in prison, and eighty yeara he was ruler in Egypt, He lived to see his great-grandchildren (Gen. .r0:-':J). His body was embalmed, and kept in Egypt till the Israelites went out a great nation, when it was taken to the land of Canaan and buried inSheehem. near Mounts Hhal and Gerizitn (Ex. i:i:l.). The Numbers of the Israelites. When the Israelites left Egypt they numbered about 000,000 men (Num. 1:401, which implies a population of about two million. From Jacob to Joshua was eleven generations, according to I Chron. 7: 2.V.J7. The third generation. Ephraim, was born before Jacob came to Egypt in 170:5. For the remaining cigrht generations, a very simple calculation shows that if each of the fifty-five males (leaving out Jacob and his sons from the sixty-eight male descendants at this time) should have less than an average of four male children, the total would amount to 000.030 males in the two hundred and fifteen years to the exodus. Hut if wo take into account that in addition there were considerable numbers in their households (v. 1) from -whom there would also he descendants, it in not at all improbable that the numbers should reach that sum in these two centuries.

TAX THE RAILROADS. Haw an low I'armrr Would Halt Fwntf for Itoad luiprnvt-ment. At the present time there is a general demand for better roads and, partlcu larly, better highways loading into our principal towns over which tho farmers have to haul their productions to reach the stations and shipping points. This agitation seeks to awake a feeling of interest in behalf of tho support of the national government by granting substantial aid to secure better roads. No class has a deeper iutcrest in this question than the farmers. Some object to the national government taking hold of such enterprises as not contemplated in the constitution, but this argument loses its force owing to the fact that the government has built such highways and they are the best roads in existence to-day. One of the principal of these is the great national road from Washington to St Louia, which proved a greater boon and blessing to those who lived within its reach than any railroad in the nation. Now the congress has been most liberal, if not too extravagant, in granting aid in land and money to build up thoso railroads that are nothing but private companies, and don't enrich tlie government from the revenue they receive, whilst those who travel over tho national road have to pay toll every tea A PERFECT HOA1 An Avenue In the Park of Queen Victoria'! Villa. miles. Would it not be consistent in, congress to levy a tax on those suet cessful railronds iu order to create a general fund to be used in building up and improving the common roads? Our present road S3'stetn is altogether out of plaee. All road taxes should be collected in money and the roads worked by contract Tne question arises: Where is the capital to come from to secure 6tich roads as the farmers have a right to demand? I would suggest the taxing of all transportation companies, not only on their present property, but on all bonds issued either for actual service rendered or for fraudulent stock. commonly called watered stoclc Now there are few who realize the amount this fraudulent stock represent. know of one road ballt In an early day that cost 125,000 per teile to build. It can be duplicated to-day for $10,000, It has been valued for assessment for taxes as low as 13,000 per mile, includ ing all its rolling stock, but is repre sented in the stock market JOS, 000 per mile. Then the cities and principal towns take measures to secure firstclass streets by macadamizing or paving with brick or stone, while the roads leading into them are left to the care of the farmers, and in wet seasons arc nothing but beds of mrei and cripple more horses and damage more vehicles than a tax would cover. I live in a county where there are all the elements to secure good roads that a kind providence could bless a people with; the whole county is underlaid with limestone ana an unlimited supply of first-class gravel, yet till this winter there has been little effort to improve the streets while the roads are often hub-deep with mud. To relieve the idle, unemployed workmen, they opened a gravel bantc and commenced graveling some of the principal streets but as the gravel was placed on top of two 'feet of frost it was not a success at first but promises better results in the future. If the friends of good roads will only unite and try to secure better roads it will be an inducement to settlers to come into the county, and thus increase the value of the land in Iowa as it has done in Ohio. Few can realize the improvement in the low-lyiug counties in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where they have built first-class roads where the old mire beds used to exist The farmers should unite in securing good highways. An Old Granger, in Chicago Record. Treatment for Sore Feet. This trouble will be a certain result )t permitting a cow to stand in wet mud or manure, as this inflames the tender skin between the claws of the hoofs, where blisters will then appear, and, breaking by the rubbing, will form sores. If this is neglceted the hoofs may be wholly destroyed and tho animal permanently injured The feet should be well washed with water and tar or carbolic soap, then dried nnd dressed with an ointment made of pure lard or vaseline, ten parts, and ono part each of turpentine and acetate of copper, stirred in the lard when it is melted and until it is cooled. It !a well to bind the sore feet in bandages and to keep the animals on a dry floor. Hreeillng fer thn Dairy.
