really a very complicated one. First,
there are our own growers to be con
sidered. Urged on by the agricul
tural department, farmers in many
sections have devoted their attention
to raising sugar beets and to builc
ing factories to extract the saccha
rine matter from them. Any attempt
to reduce the duty on sugar will
meet with vigorous opposition -from
these. Next is the sugar trust, which
is willing to have raw sugar free but
wants a tax on the refined product
so as to enable it to make an abnor-
nal profit. It is|now engaged
a war with the best sugar men
make them sell their unrefined sugar
at a price fixed by itself. Third
are the interests of the Hawaiians
Fourth is Cuba, to which free entry
of her sugar into the United States
is a vital condition to prosperity
There are really so many wheels
within wheels in the sugar conflict
that a keen observer will possibly be
nonplussed for a while to get the
facts, and there is grave danger cf
scandal similar to that of some years
ago, when several senators were con
victed morally of guilt in speculat
ing in sugar stocks and were strong
ly suspected of yet more reprehensi
ble practices.
Representative Babcock of Wis
consin is in .town, pluckily upholding
the tariff measure he stole from the
democrats last session, and has since
been attempting to force on his own
party —with no appreciable results,
j, “My idea as to tariff revision is sim
pie,” he said. “It is this: Where by
changed conditions tariff duties have
become exorbitant, far beyond the
needs of protection, I would put
them where they would amply pro
tect labor, but not to a point that
would create a monopoly of trade
and raise prices to consumers. In
other words, if an article costs $1 to
be produced abroad and $1.40 to be
produced, in this country, I would
favor a 50 per cent duty to protect
.ourselves; but not 200 per cent,
which would simply afford a margin
for increasing the price to our own
consumers. There is no departure
from republican protective tariff
principles in that. I reassert that
am as ardent an advocate of the re
publican doctrine of protection to
American industries as there is in
this country.” The question this
congress will be called upon to an
swer is. “Will it permit a tariff duty
to remain in force, to enable a trust
to pay dividends on watered stock?
This is the question that democrats
have been asking for, lo! these many
many years, only to be overborne by
the money that the protected trusts
have been able to muster to their de
fense. Mr. Babcock means well and
if «he and his half dozen supporters
would join hands with the democrats
they might force action. No one
doubts, however, that when it comes
to a show-down, they will yield to
their caucus rule and vote to main
tain the tariff unchanged.
The Spanish alphabet is perfect,
save for a single silent letter—h
Each letter has only vne sound. Ev
ery word is spelled as pronounced,
and pronounced as spelled. The
written language, therefore, is, with
a single exception,free from redund
ant letters. The chief difficulty in
the language to English-speaking
people is the inflection of its verbs.
These move from one mood and
tense to another by terminal chang
es, while English verbs move by aux
iliaries. In inflection Spanish follows
Latin, of which it is a beautiful and
richly endowed daughter, so much
so that it adopts no word or phrase
from other languages.
