It will beobaerved that Lhc advocates of the Diugley t;ll arc careful to sjw-aJt of the sugar dillen ut a4 us nOe-e-ghth v4 u cent a pound, or IM cents per gfi pounds. l!y the "dilTereutiaJ" is meant iJie extra duty put on rvtinrd sugar for fhe IsMiellt of the sugar triibU lh lined sugar under Uu pranant law paya 12j cents jut hundred more duty tiia.11 raw sugar. Hut t.Jn.s nieuiu 1-', cnta more than raw sugar of tlie lOWaat n well us ths higheat gnide. 'I bia "dilTcrntial" ought not to have U-cn in the bill. It waa put there by traitorous senatoj-s who called themselves democruta coOpaCBtlag with the republicans. On account of it the republicans denounced the bill aa a "trust bill" because it had cut down the McKinley differential only "5 per cent. In spite of their denunciation of thttrust bill of I8P4, they are w illing to atmll that their bill contains the same differential as that of rsnt. 1 bis, howpvex, ia a. deception. The differential is iuxger in the Dingley biJl, and those who understand the subject know it. The tux on raw sugar testing "5 de grees by tJie silurisi'ope ia one cent a powndi or a dollar per U)0. The tas on 1 e fined sugar ia $17', per 100 poondfl or. in decimals, $l.sTö. Thus IT fined sugar is taxed seven-eighths of a dollar Ier 100 ponnda more than raw sugar of the lowest grade. I'ndcrthe preaent law it is only 12'a cents js-r 10( panndB, in addition to the 40 per cent, ad valorem on raw sugar. It is true that the tax on raw sugar la the Dingley bill is on a slidi ng scale. For eaich degree over 75 there ia added a tax of 8-100 of a cent n pound, so that by the time we get to 100 degrees, the tax nu its to 1,78 ver h u pounds, und itVfc cents addea to make the duty on refilled sugar $1.S75. Cut this takes no account of the smaller tax on sugar less than 100 degrees. In point of fact. if we go back to 1890, when thla sliding scale was in use before, there was uu sugar imported testing lud degrees, nor yet any at M degrees. There was a small quantity at '.m degrees, but oil Importe above U4 were comparative I y ununportant. On the ot her band, there wore imported 350,000,000 pounds testing 84 and IS degrees, and nearly 400,(00,000 pounds testing M degn cs. Uc low 84 degraaa bha qtaalities Imported vs ere siualler, but still considerable, extending all the way to and including 75 degrees. The rate then ranged from 11.40 to $2.75 per 100 pounds, the latter for sugar tisting 100 degrees, but the average tax on the whole was about two cents a pound, or about equal to that imposed on sugar at M degrees. Iet us apply this oo degree teat to tie differentials. Under t he Dingley bill sugar at lo degrees pays $1.45 cr 100 pounds. Taking this aa an average, and subtracting it from $1.S7',,. we have 42' 2 ccnl per 100 M the true differential In favor of the trust. Louis

Some Tblnirs for'Mr. Olnalej

count Fur. Mr. Dingley has some hard things to say. in his report on the tnrilT bill, about "sjeculators importing wool," into whoso jiockets, he says, the money (enormous wool tax bis bill provides for) will le turned that should go into the treasury. In this BOBOeetion vv e have a fair question to ask of the chairman of the ways and means committee, who is himself interested in woolen nnnufaeture. He is said, by Washington correspondents, to he "touch J " about this fact, but it is a fact. Through his family, if not directly, he is interested in a woolt 11 mill at Lcvvistou. Has thnt mill been stocking up vv ith a year's supply of free wool, and will it buy every pound of free wool it can get hohl of lcfore the Dingley tax goes into i f feet? Will it. In Mr. Dingley's Borda, turn into its own pockets and those of the Dingley family the money which, he snys, ought to go into the treasury?

On this we have to say t hat, if t he Dingley mill is not doing tbia, it is not doing what all the other mills are doing. If its manager is not taking every bale of free wool he can put bis hands on be is Incompetent, nnd should be dischnrgi d. If the Dingley mill is not getting its

wool free w bile it can it w ill have to go out of business. There is nothing wrong about importing wool in advance of the duty. What is wrong Is to get up in congress nnd condemn, w ith great show of virtuous Indignation, t he thing w hich you are doing yourself. N. Y. 1'ost. Neeeaaarlea to De Taxed.

President McKinley encouraged tiie very extravagance that has produced the deficiency which is his excuse for the extra session. He declare at the start that "we are presenting the remarkable spectacle of increasing our public lebt by borrowing money to meet the ordinary outlays incident upon even an economical nnl prudent administration of the government." Is a succession of billion-rlollar congresses and an Incrense in the national expenditures of II oo.ooo.OOO a year in ten yeurs an evi ie nee of "an economical an! prudent .-duiinistration of the government ?" "Ample revenues," said the president, in closing, "must be supplied, not only for the ordinary expenses of the government, but for the prompt payment of liberal pensions." TV.' cost of pensions has increased $'-,:.. 100,000 in ten years. Tail is the full amount of the deficiency for the

current year. In other words, if congress, 21 yenrs after the 'use of the war, had put a rvnsonnble limit upon
