Tariff Pictures Here is another one abqut the home prices of cereals: Oats in eight farming States are worth 18c. per bushel. In eight manufacturing states 35c. per bushel. 94 per cent, higher in manufacturing States.

New York Press. i__ PR AISE FOR THE McKINLEY BILL. i The benefit of the reduction of the duty on sugar will probably be felt immediately after April 1. On that date raw sugar and refined grades up to a certain standard will be admitted free of duty. In anticipation of this event and in order to give the consumer the immediate benefit of the decreased duty the treasury department is admitting the raw sugar in hand to bonded refineries where; it can be refined and be ready to be replaced on the retail market as soon as the law allows it The standard sugar used is the granulated, and according to a New York grocer, the wholesale price of that grade will be reduced from the present price to 6| cents per pound to 54 6r 4£ cents per pound after April 1. The benefit of this reduction will be to the consumer as Claus Spreckles and European refineries will not allow the American Refining company to get the sole benefit of the reduction. In 1890 this country consumed 1,522.731 tons of sugar or about 544 pounds for each person. The saving effected by the duty will therefore equal at least one dollar for every man, woman and child in he country,' or about $79,000,000. Fresh Graham flour and fresh com meal at Dexter A Cox.
