The Beef Trust is now famishing an object lesson for: the people of the United States and one that they should profit bj. One of the reasons given for the frequent advances in the price of beef is "the scarcity of cattle." They say there is a shortage on the Western ranges, because the sheep raisers have crowded Borne of the cattle raisers out. The cattle men dispute this and say there are plenty of beef cattle. Bat assuming that the Beef Trust men till the truth about the scarcity of cattle, and the consequent higher prices, doesn't this present an object lesson on the tariff that the people of the United States might study with advan tage?. There is a tariff on cattle imported from other countries. The ostensible object of this was to encourage cattle raising by protecting the raisers from compe tition with the cattle raisers of other countries, especially of Mexico and Canada, which are . such nearby neighbors as to possibly become for midable competitors. If the cattle raisers with pasturage that costs them only a nominal charge cannot raise cattle enough to supply the demand for home consumption, why should the American people con tinue to levy a practically prohibi tory tariff on imported cattle? There are thousands upon thousands of cattle roaming the hills and valleys across the Bio Grande. These cat tie are cheap because there is but a limited market and but little de maud for them. Before a tariff was put upon them many were driven across the Bio Grande to market in this country, but the tariff stopped that. Canada produced a good many cat tie even before the opening of the Manitoba region which with its vast prairies, which in the Spring, Sum mer and Fall are covered with a lux uriant growth of grass, is becom ing a great cattle-raising region There are countless herds there now, and there would be many more if profitable markets could be found for them. The tariff duties keep them out of this country and by keeping them and Mexican cattle " out the Beef Trust men have a pre tence in the scarcity of cattle for practicing extortion upon the Ameri can people. If, as they allege, the stock men run the price up on them, because cattle are scarce, removing the bars that keep the Canadian and Mexican cattle out would teach the Western stock men a lesson and deprive them of the opportunity to levy tribute upon the packers, who in turn levy higher tribute on the American people, thus compelling them to foot the bill of cost after they had been voting for years to protect our cattle raisers by keeping cattle across the borders out. In Mexico last Summer there was a shoit crop of corn in consequence of a protracted drought. To. pro tect the corn growers there has been a pretty high tariff on im ported corn. Taking advantage of the short crop some sharpers who had been observing American methods sent agents - into the corn growing districts and bought up all the corn in sight, and when they had secured as much as they were prepared to handle the price was put up at once. Ar soon as President Diaz learned this he forthwith issued a proclamation suspending the du ties on corn, caused that fact to be published far and wide, and in a few days train after train loaded with corn went bowling in from this country. The price of corn immediately went down and the sharpers found themselves left with a large stock of corn on hand and experience enough in the corn cor nering business to last them for a liffl time. Thev Will Tint, TnaVn a-ntr more experiments in cornering in that country, where the venture did not pan out as profitably as they sometimes do in this country. Presi dent Diaz didn't have the authority to do that, but as he is the whole thing over there, he took the chance of going between the people and the would-be plunderers, feeling confi dent that the congress would ap prove his action, which it subse quently did, and authorized him to do it again under similar circum stances and continue the suspension as long as necessary. There isn't any one in this coun try vested with the authority to sus pend tariff duties on the necessaries of life when grabbers corner them, but if there were and that authority was exercised as President Diaz ex ercised it, it would very soon settle the corner business, and the combi nations which make millions by tak ing advantage of the people's neces sities and making extortionate prices for what they bay to et. If the President of the United States was vested with the authority to Buspend tariff duties on the necessaries of life when trusts or combines unrea sonably increased prices it might have as salutary effect as the timely otion of President Diaz had on the corn case to which we have refer red, provided the Preside . United States were quick to act and desired to curb the grasping 'com bines. But there is more politics in the tariff in this country than there is in Mexico, and for that reason American Presidents mightn't be so quick to put the brakes on the trustB. As nothing of this kind can be done now, the people must look to themselves for relief and to pre vent repetitions of these plundering advances in prices, made possible by the protective tariff, they can, when the time to vote comes, vote for;Bepresentatives in Congress who will vote for the repeal of the pro tective duties on the necessaries of life, thus making them difficult if not imnossible to corner. That s the wav to protect the people from the Beef Trusts, and other Trusts of a similar character. WIPI50 OUT THE POLL TAX. Some time ago Senator Pritchard, as chairman of the Bepublican State Committee, published a letter "to the people of North Carolina" on the subject of the poll tax in which among other things he said he had been "informed" that it was the purpose of the Democrats wherever they could do so to get the county commissioners to release delinquents from the payment of the tax "on condition that they agreed to vote the Democratic ticket at the next election." The absurdity of such a thing was so apparent it is astonish ing that any man of presumably or dinary intelligence 'would make such an assertion and sign hit name to it, as Pritchard did. But there was a motive behind that assertion which may be, in part at least, shown by the follow ing telegram to Ithe Baleigh News and Oiserver, from Marshall, the county seat of Madison, Senator Pritchard's county, under date of the 17th inst.: "The Republican Commissioners of this Madison county, nave oeen re leasing at every meeting for several months back an unusually large num ber of tax-payers from the payment of their poll tax. On the first Monday in April nfty-nve were tnus reiesseo, many of whom had considerable prop erty, and very few or whom had any physical disability. The board then adjourned to meet on April 28 ;h, when they expect to release as many more as they see fit. The Madison County Record will print in this week's issue the releases as made by the Board or County Com miitioners. The Democrats here are determined to do their utmost, even if they release every Bepublican in the county from payment of his poll tax. Every effort is being made to tret tbe Democratic voters to pay, and it is confidently expected that the Kepub liean majority in the county will be reduced in spite of all that they can do." Senator Pritchard doubtless knew that this game was on in his county, and probably in other Bepublican counties, when he issued that ad dress, as a sort of "stop thief" blind, so that the Benublicans could have it to Bay, when charged with it, that they did it because they were "in formed" that the Democrats intend ed to play that game in the Demo cratic counties. Pritchard lacks a good deal of being as cunning and clever as he thinks he is. But the Bepublicans are not go ing to lose any votes if they can de vise any plan to get them into the ballot boxes, and this should stimu late every Democrat or 'believer in white supremacy and decent gov ernment to pay his poll tax and save his vote. THE SUGAR TBTJST BOWSED. The Democrats in the House of Representatives and the "insur gents" scored a victory Friday, when they rode over the Speaker's rulings, removed the differential from re fined sugar from Cuba, and knocked out the Sugar Trust. The twenty per cent, reduction in crude sugar was right into the hands of the Trust, which had been urging that all along. Beet sugar men fought it because cheaper raw sugar would give the Trust just that much ad vantage over them. When they found that the twenty per cent. scheme was going through they united their forces with the Demo crats who favored reciprocity and hit the Trust this swipe. It wasn't with them a matter of prin ciple or consideration for the people of this country or of Cuba, but sim ply a matter of preventing the Su gar Trust from getting an advantage over the beet and other sugar in terests that they represented. Twenty per cent, isn't much of a reduction in the tariff but it is a vic tory for the people all the same and for Cuba also, for it is an entering wedge and it will be easier to get a further reduction than it was to get this twenty per cent. There is not much refined sugar made in Cuba but there may now be some inducement to engage in refining over there, and that would result in cheaper sugar for this country. It would, however, be just like the Sugar Trust to put up plants over there and pre-empt, as far as it can, that field. The significance of this victory is that it is a starter which may lead to something more important. It is the first time in tariff legislation that any consider able number of Bepublicans have joined with Democrats for reduc tion of duties, and this in itself is significant of the progress of public Bentiment in this direction. Wo shall now see what kind of a pull the Sugar Trust has on the Senate. For Cousrh use OHEHP S EX- PBOTORANT. for sale by Heroinl Paiaee Pnarmaew Whorminer wocebDread !

CURRENT COMMENT. The proposed investigation of our mule trade with the British army, now that we have disposed of about $85,000,000 worth of them, is in all probability, a sort of admission that we have no more mules to sell. Atlanta Journal, Pem Iron bars are now selling in Chicago for $4 per ton more than steel bars. This curious discrepancy is brought about by the low cost of the manufacture of steel and the high price of scrap iron from which bar iron is now mainly constructed. Philadelphia Record, Bern. The assembled manufac turers at Indianapolis were all be lievers in the desirability of extend ing our foreign trade, and, so far as they expressed themselves, disbeliev ers in the virtues of reciprocity. They have not yet attained to the belief of the lamented Mciunley that "a system which provider for a mutual exchange of j commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade." They continue in spite of his warning to "repose in fancied se curity that they can forever sell evervthinsr and buv little of noth ing." There will be a sudden awak ening from this dream one of these days possibly sooner than 1 any of the dreamers suspect. Philadel phia Record, Dent. TWINKLINGS. ! Teacher "Tell me, !
