A SACCHARINE PROBLEM.
BItADSTEEETS’ EDITOR GIVES A
TALK CN FREE SUGAR.
We Consume 46 Pounds Apiece Per
Annum, and Would Eat More If the
Raw Article Was Untaxed—How it
Could be Dene Without Jrjury to
the Sugar Planters and Manufact
urers—A Bounty System Proposed.
{Copv'ifjht.)
New Tore:, March 8 —The duty on sugar
premies to be a topic of more than pas ing
interest in the House this season. First,
there is the principle of protection to be
kep< in view; then ifie reduction of the al
leged surp us; next the Louisiana cane
planters must not be lost sight of, andafter
them the sorghum interests of Kansas; not
to forget the future great beet-sugar indus
try <f California, concerning which so
much is promised.
Nothing else lias gone so far to bring this
subject prominently before the public as
the organ nation of the sugar trust and the
competition between it and Claus Spreckels
at Philadelphia and San Francisco. Toe
public have learntd much more of the
profits of sugar refining within a year than
the mere onlooker could have gathered in a
decade prior to the formation of the trust.
This suggfsts the amusing notion that the
very organization, or combination, which
was designed, among other things, to pre
vent more than ever theencr achments of
inquiring minds, appears to have so centered
the pnblic gaze upon it as to have prac
tically defeated that, purpose.
The importance of the subject may be ap
preciated when it is realized that tile total
consumption of sugar in the United States,
refined and unrefined, amounts to about
forty-six pound per annum per capita. Ju
ISB9 the sugar trust is alleged to have made
$13,086,000 profits, as compared with §13,-
825,0u0 in 1888. The anti-trust refineries
are said to have shown $6,305,000 profits
last year, against $5,306,U00 the year
before. Tho home production of
sugar is perhaps 250,000,000 pounds per
annum, at out one-twelfth of the home con
sumption. This refers of course to ti e
Louis ana cr ip of cane, hut in Kansas, as
reported by Inspector Kellogg, “in tho dry
and undeveloped portions of the state,
where corn and other cereals are a partial
or total failure, sorghum will always
flourish.” It is aided that the southern tier
of counties in that state as far west as Bar
bour is at present “the cream of the sugar
district.”
Next comes California,with its supplies of
duty-free Hawaiian cane sugar, and what
is something more than an incipient beet
sugar industry, stimulated by Claus
Spreckels in part, and in part by the re
ported advantages accruing to various Con
ti: eutal countries which have indulged in
beet-sugar gr wing to h large extent.
Any j reposition to remove the duty on
raw sugar, it will thus be seen, is sure to
raise s< mething more than a passing com
ment by those directly affected. Ti e ag
gregate sugar duty collected during the past
five years has averaged about $50,000,000
per annum. The opponents of the plan to
throw off this duty cJ im the loss to Louis
iana planters and to Kansas sugar interests
(pres nt and prospective) would he very
heavy; that the I eet sugar industry
would be retaided indefinitely, and
that the existence of the duty on
sugar is in no v. ise a burden on the con
sumer. The same people, or some of them,
propose, if it is necessary in order to vio
lently renounce the national receipts, to cut
off the internal revenue tux on whisky and
tobacco. The advocates of free sugar have
claimed that the country is paying—indi
rectly, of course, but paying, nevertheless—
about $15,000,000 pier annum to support a
home sugar industry which can never rival
foreign producers, owing to lack of favor
ing natural conditions, that we could much
better afford to pension off the domestic
sugar-growers and p rmit the public to
buy its refined sugar lyl ceuts lower per
pound.
Here one may see just what a knotty
problem cur legislators at Washington nro
to grapple with when they take up the
qu-stion of free sugur. With a view- to
learning the views of those best posted ou
this subject, I asked W. P. Willett of Now
York what be c Uid suggest as a way out
of the difficulty. He Las given much at
tention to the subject, and is regarded as an
authority of the first rank. The task is not
an easy one, being of tho nature of those
which demand a Henry Clay; some oue
wi.o can suggest a middle course over
which partie-, on both sides may travel.
I asked whither he thought “free sugar”
probable at an early day.
“.he drift of public sentiment for sev
eral years has been in the direction of free
sugar, and free sugar for the consumers of
the United States cems a certainty in the
not distant future.”
“But now can this be brought about with
tho least injury to nv interest?”
“It. is important, of course, that in plac
ing all ra ■■ sugar on the free list that the
homo producers should not be cut off ab
ruptly’: r even checked in their efforts to
s: imulate home production. This can be
accomplished in a c minon-sense business
way by paying a bounty on home produc
tion, such bounty to run for a definite
period of twenty years, beginning with 2
cents p r pound—the full equivalent of the
duty taken off—and being reduced at the
rate of 5 per cent, per annum, or 1-10 cent
per pound.”
Continuing, Mr. Willett said that “in the
meanti e the country will save the differ
ence between duty and l cunty, say ab ut
$48,000,000 per year, and twenty years’ pro
tection by bounty will be quite long enough
to put sugar-raioing hero ou a firm and in
dependent b sis. In fact, such a change
will be a much safer bnsisof action for some
producois than a tar,ff subject to con tent
cuttiig down by reason of the growing
public sentiment for free sugar eventually.”
“Bui do you not think u b mntv cuuid be
tinkered quite as much as a duty?”
“Such a law on rhe statute books would
be in the nature of a contract by means of
which sugar is to be obtained, and public
sentiment would be against any violation of
it, by repeal or modification. Provision
should, of course, be made, in the event of a
change, such as I have outlined, for pre
venting free importations of raw sugar
from any country which adds to its present
expon duties.”
“How about refined sugar?”
•‘A duty should be left on refined sugar
of one-quarter of a cent per pound, which,
with the cost of importa ion, say one
quarter of a C6nt par pound, would give the
refiners about half a cent per pound protec
tion for their plants, and at the same time
protect consumers against being charged
any part of the duty taken off.”
“And ,s to the general effect of such
action S ’
“Boca combined action would give sugar
to consumers ab >ut 2 cents per pound less
than they pay for it now; it would also in
crease tne censuinptrm of sugar enorrn
ou-iy, and it does not seem to me that it
ought to make any difference in the purpose
of those who are engaged in experiments
for tho production of b-ot, sorghum, aud
cane sugar iu this country.”

TALLAHASSEE TOPICS.
A Belief That the alliance Will Split
on the Orange tariff.
Tallauas-.ee, Fla., March B—Being a
member of the committee appointed to go
to Washington in the interest of securing a
dollar-a-box tariff oa foreign crang's,
Pr. s.de.it R. F. Rog-rs of the Florida alli
ance cannot at end thd meeting of the presi
dents of each state alliance called by L. L.
Polk, pres.Jent of the National Farmers’
I Alliance and Industrial Union, to meet in
Atlanta on March 19, he object of which is
to arrange to secure some uniform system
of tare on cotton and to provide for bag
gi gto cover the crop of 1894. IV. I.
Yason, a prominent member of the Talla
hassee all.ar.ee, has been appointed to at
tend and act for President Rogers.
AI.LIANCEMEN KICKING.
And, by the way. some of the alliance
men ii the cotton belt are kicking becau e
President R gers is taking such an active
part m tne effort to secure a higher pro
tective tariff on oranges. They pro ounce
the move ui.d. luocratic and say the alliance
refused to pass res. lutions endorsing ir,
consequently they think President Rigers
| had no right to sign tho petition in his alii
[ anco capacity, and no right to allow his
name used on the committee as the presi
dent of the alliance. Notwithstanding the
kicks, however, President Rogers will go to
Washington with the committee.
GOING TO SPLIT.
Said a prominent democrat to the Morn
ing News reporter yesterday,“This tacking
on the industrial union to the farmers' alli
ance is the reck upon widen it is going to
split to pieces. In my opinion it was en
gineered by some shrewd p ditician in the
hope of building up a high tariff democratic
party in tho south, thereby making a break
in tae chain of solidity and driving djwn a
peg that would hold the Republican party
in perpetual power. This orange business
looks like an initial step in that direction,
and I think it ought to be sat down upon.”
NOMINATIONS TO BE WITHDRAWN.
A rumor reaches here througa a gentle
man just in from Washington that Presi
dent Harrison will withdraw tho nomina
tions of Judge Swayneand Marshall Mizell,
and that Miz.dl is to be rewarded for the
efficiency of his work in making a political
sensation by being appointed collector of
customs at the port of Pensacola. It is not
said what bone is to be given Judge Swayne
to gnaw upon.
SANFORD’S COLD SNAP.
The Damage Great, but Not as Bad as
Thouarht at First.
Sanford, Fla., March B.—Your cor
respondent has visited several towns of this
state since the freeze, and the result of his
observations is as follows: While tbedam
age is great and widespread, yet it is not as
great as it was nt first thought. In this
section and in others visited by your cor
respondent, viz.: Lakeland, Pemberton,
and Brooksville, vegetable crops are almost
a total loss where the exposure was great
and where there was no effort at protection.
Already, however, many are planting
again. Where the exposure was great
nearly all young grow.h on orange trees
has been destroyed. In some instances
young trees have been killed outright. In
other instances only tbo buds have been
killed and ti e stumps may be budded into
again. In many instances the I ark has
split on the younger trees, and it is impos
sible yet to tell just w hat the effect will be.
A large percentage of the orange blooms
out was destroyed, but very many trees
were unusually late in blooming, and hence
the damage to the orange crop for this year
may not be so great as was at first feared.
Your correspondent feels that while the
damage to vegetable and fruit-growing is
great, at the same time, when the advan
tages of a cold wave, in the way of destruc
tion to insects of various kinds and nthor
unwelcome germs, are duly considered, aud
when, in addition, it is remembered that
for planting many vegetables the season
has not passed, and that most of the orange
trees have not yet put on their bloom, the
people of our fair state have no reason to
feel discouraged. Their resources are so
abundant that they have ail the year round
in which to make u living.
MACCLENNY MENTION.
Effects of the Freeze—A North and
South Railroad Wanted.
Macclknny, Fla., March B.—The recent
severe weather carried considerable loss to
the truck farmers of this vicinity. It is
thought, however, that s'raw berries will
soon recover from the effects of the freeze
and make a fair crop, which, because of the
greater injury to the Charleston and Savan
nah strawberry farms, is expected to bring
better prices than have heretofore prevailed.
The new growth oa orango trees has been
destroyed, and the early peach crop will be
cut short. It is not pr obable that the later
vareitiesof peaches will suffer.
Macclenuy wants a north and south rail
road, and there is noticeable a quiet de
termination on the part of her citizens to
have one if it is among the possibilities.
Peter Pindar (no kin to the merry poet of
that name), who broke jail at Green Cove,
and for whose capture a reward was offered,
was “taken in” by Sheriff C. F. Pons last
week.
Our board of trade is doing some quiet
but effective work, and ft is exDected that
through their efforts one or more manufac
tories will be established here in the near
future.
MORTON IN FLORIDA,

Are the bet months in which to purify your
blood. During the winter niunths, the blo>d
becomes thin anti impure, the body becomes
wtak and tired, the appetite may be lost, and
just now the system craves the aid of a reliable
medicine. Hood s Sarsaparilla is peculiarly
adapted to p jrify and enric’i the blood, to create
a good appetite and to overcome that tired feel
ing. It increases in popularity every year.
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Is the ideal spring medicine. It rouses the kid
neys and liver, tones the digestive
an appetite.purities and vitilizes the impure and
fbiggish blood, cures the headache and over
comes ali the prostrating effects of that tired
feeling. Mr. G. W. Sloan, of Milton, Mass.,
writes: “For five years I was sick every spring,
but last year began in February to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and have not seen a sick day since.”

use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after using two
bottles I find my appetite restored, iny nervous
system toned up, and my general health greatly
improved. I therefore take great pleasure in
telliug about Hood's Sarsaparilla. I consider
Hood's Sarsaparilla has no equal.” George
Brati, Bill Poster, Gallipolis, Ohio.
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Has a record of cures of Scrofula and other blood
diseases never equalled by any other prepara
tion. The most severe cases yield to this remedy
w hen others have failed to have tho slightest
effect. Hereditary scrofula,which clings to the
blood with the greatest tenacity, is cured by this
peculiar medicine. Its many remarkable cures
have won for Hood’s Sarsaparilla the title of
“The greatest blood purifier ever discovered."

CALIFORNIA STORIES.
The Last of tho Mustangs—Grizzlies
and Frontiersmen.
From the New York Tribune.
The mountains of San Lui3 Obispo offer
some of the strangest frontier scenes and
types to be found on the Pacific coast. Tho
region was one of the last strongholds of
the native Californians. Helen Hunt Jack
son collected a good deal of material a few
months before her a- ath in the old town of
Bun Luis, from the Spanish priests there,
and would perhaps have written another
Californian novel if she had had one more
year of life. She thought that the region
combined to a remarkable degree the pecu
liar charms ot Northern and Southern Cal
ifornia, and she often spike of its “waste
wealth of literary material.”
My thoughts were turned to San Luis the
other day by the news from there that a
man had found a band of wild orses in the
mountains and had captured about twenty
in a corral. There are four or five bands of
wild horses that take care of themselves in
the unfeuced mountains of the Upper
Sierras, nut none m tho Coast range, north
of Ha i Luis. They are descended from
Spanish “mustangs,” and are as wild aud
worthless for any kind of work as it is
possible to imagine. In one case, in early
limes, a Spanish land-owner was persuided
to buy an American plow and sow some
wheat. He had four or five mustangs tied
to the plow-beam, put boys on the mus
tangs, and ran them across the fields, with
several I diaus hanging to the plow-handles.
Every now and then the mustangs flew out
on the plowed ground and “sicked for ail
they were worth.” After a little while the
old Don was heurd to say: “What men
these Americans are! How hard they work
for nothing!” Aud so he went back to his
brush harrow.
One of the characters of San Luis died a
short time ago. He was a frontiersman,
kuowu over thousands of square miles of
mountain and valley as “Uncle Billy of
Josephine.” He was a grizzled giaut, cer
tainly the coolest and strongest man in the
region, and lie kept a saloon for the quick
silver mi ers, a postollica and a store. Ho
was a blaeksmitu, a school trustee, and a
few things li sides, especially a wheel-horse
at camp-meetings. One night two Mexican
mi ers in his suloon tried to rob tire old
man. The door was shut, but he threw tho
foremost Mexican through the panels into
the road, uud then, putting liis anus ab ut
the three others, shoved them en masse
througa the splinters and fragments of the
broken door. “One or two of them Mexi
cans sluek their knives into me,” said Un
cle Billy afterward, “but I never showed I
was hurt, and after they were thrown out
they eraw.ed away.” In fact, one knife
thurst was clear through his arm; but on
t”o other hand, he crippled most of tne
Mexicans for life.
There were plenty of grizzlies around the
mounrains fifteen years ago, ad 1 hear of
them, even now. Everv o.e in the moun
tain* lias an immense respect for the grizzly.
An old froutiersniau tells me that a few
years ago he was hunting stray cattle, and
he came oil a now settler’s cabin beside an
oak in a mountain valley. He stayed with
the settler over night, sleeping in a blanket
before the fire. J luring the night they
heard a gr eat noise outside. The settler
looked ha-tily out and reported that a large
la-ar was at the meat-safe, wh.cb hung
un lor the oak tree. Tr o frontiersman was
asked t > shoot it, but said he would not risk
it, with only n revolver and a shotgun. Th u
wife of the settler remarked that t ey were
both cowards, an I she wonkl and ivo It off

At the coming of spring the blood should be

down iii his Strug .'la* and dragged it down
tho ravine. The old frontiersman and the
new settler were o lig-d in seif-defsnso to
retire to tho headwaters of the Ban An
tonio within a week and stay there until
they had killed a grizzly apiece.
One of the hardest cases I ever knew was
old “Buck” Wright, who lived in a log
cabin twenty miles west of Paso Robles.
He was called “the worst man in all Sau
Luis Obispo county to cuss right out loud
when things went wrong.” Oid Faxon
down at Baiiard’s was called tho w rst man
in all Santa Barbara county to do the
same tiling. Wright had been a negro
driver down south bef ire the war; Faxon
had been a bull-puncher over in Nevada.
Some fellows had hoard one of them swear
and some had heard the other; but nobody
around Ban Luis had heard both of them.
So tile boys wanted a match, and put up
f 100. First, they triod to get Faxon to
climb into a wag >n they had, and go to
Paso R bles to meet Wright, But ho said
it was a dry summer and grass was scarce;
tie hadn’t no call to burn up all the cattle
feed. Then we told that to Wright and
asked him to go with us to Ballard’s, where
Fax ii lived, and Wright answered that he
couldn’t swear worth a cent outside his
own county. But f Iks that had known
him smcj he was a snipe of a boy in Mis
souri told us he was too modest on that
point. Then the boys raised tho size of th >
purse, and it was finally agreed to have a
match ou the county line, nut just before
the details w, re settle 1 old Faxon died.
When Wrigh came to the county he took
a schooner to Ban F. a ici co to sail down
the c ast—a week’s voyage—to Cayucas
The first day he was sea-rick, aud lie swore
so badly that tne sailors asked the captain
to put back or they would have storms, aud,
sure enough, head winds began th ; very next
day, and they beat up and down tho coast
fa* two weeks. Wright’s lemarlts grew
worse every day, till at last the captain
hauled in at the mouth of the Salinas, and
landed i im, “bag and baggage,” 100 miles
north of his port. Wright walked the rest
of die way. “hat was where he got tho
fine touches of his swearing ii perfection.
He came into Pa o Robles barefooted. The
schooner? Ban Luis people say she was
ijevor heard of afterward.
