SUGAR PRICES COMPARED. Quotations Under the McKinley and New Tariff Laws. | Table Showing That Under the New | | Law It [+ Nearty Two Cents a Pound Cheaper than the Same | Period Atter the Passage of Bill. | the MeKinley j Washington, D. C., Oct., 4.—] Chairman Faulker of the Democratic Campaign Committee to-night has received the first proofs of bis cam | paign slip upon the prices of sugar under the new tariff law 4,The state caent that the Senator bad in pre peration such a document has caused | its publication to be awaited with nterest, and it has also been saffi- cent to stir up a great Republican campaign yarn. The Republican committee here | to day had itself interviewed in an| afternoon paper, to declare that if the price of sugar has not advanced it has been because of a deep and dire conspiracy and bargain between the Democratic party and the Sugar Trust. They claim that on account of the differential allowed on retined sugar until after the election. This story is, of course. ridiculous. The failure of sugar to advance in price at this time is snid to be whol-| ly due to the supply on hand and to the fact that there is than enough of the sugar for consump- tion, In fact, the inability of the Sugar Trust to advance the price of sugar is said to be the chief reason for the closing down of their refin- eries. The Republican Committee evi tently forgets that far greater ad- vantege accrued to the Sugar Trust to advance the price of sugar and injure the Democratic party in order to obtain again the fruitful bless- ings of McKinleyism. The weakness of the Republican position on this point is the very fact that the McKinley bill fathered the Sugar Trust and made it what it is, and will probaly silence Republican speakers altogether. The following is the proof sheet: “Has the new tariff increased the price ef sugar?” “Official records of the wholesale price. of granulated sugar in Phila- delphia disprove this assertion. “Comparison of prices from the date of the operation of the Mckin- ley bill to the president time under both measures. “The wholesale price of granulat- ed refined sugar compared for the month of September for ‘he last four years: more Sept. 1 Sept. 15 Oct. 1 1991....4316 433 1892....5 5 3.16 1893....5} 5g sine) se wi 1894....5 5 4 11-16 All quotations below, prior to June 29, 1892, are the refiner’s prices.

Thus, where the actual selling price is 5 cents, the rebate would make it 4 13-16 cents. The retail price is found by adding § cent to 1 cent, according to distance from point of distribu- tion.

Why He Is A Democrat. A St. dressed a querry to State Treasure Lon. V. Stephens enbodied in the few words: “Why are you a demo- crat?” is given in full below. We commend it to our readers and ask all to give Touis paper recently ad- His answer was a model and intelligently and without prejudice with the declarations of republican and populist principles. His state- ments are clear, forcible, und with. ceive or mislead. “I am a democrat,” because I was from a mother’s breast; I absorbed it from a fond father’s right band. I am a democrat, because I was built that way, and because my study of the cardinal priciples of the various ought to be a democrat. I am a democrat, because I have always found the old party, in vic tory as well as defeat, in season of trials and tribulations, holding aloft the people's banner, fighting battles of the masses as against the classes, and trying to beat back the common enemy.

Prior to the year 646, A. D. the Japanese had one cf the most bor rible burial customs that can be im- agined—that of buryivy all the im retainers of a prince or other persou of note in a mediate frends aud standing position around the poten tate’s grave and leaving them in the earth up to their necks to perish of thirst and hunger. She custom can- not be said to have been general as late as the date given, for the Jap anese records prove that in the time of the Emperor Suinin (97—30 B.C.) the burial mtes of royal per- sopages were so tmodified as partie ally abolish former cruelties. Speak ing of a young brother of Suinin, who died and had his retinue buried standing aroung his grave, and the} old record says: ‘For mavy days | they died not, but wept and cried | aloud. At last they died. Dogs} _ and crows assembled and ate off their heads. The emperor's compas- sions were aroused. und he desired to change the mwanuer of burial. When the empress died, soon after, the Mikado inquired of his officers if somethivg in a way of a change could not be sugyested, and one proposed to make elay figures of men and bury them as substitutes.” That this did not entirely do away with the former customs is proven by an edict issued in the year 646, A. D., (the date given first above), which forbid the burial of living persons around the graves of noted persons and provides a penalty for further adherence to the awful rite CURES RISING | ».
