By the Sugar Trust With the Assistance
of the
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Under the Present Tariff Law the
Kuftur Trust Is Given the IU|ht
to Take Elghtjr-Three Million Dollars
Out of the Pockets of the
Consumer.
The masses of the people know
very little about the Iniquities of
the protective tariff, and consequently
hiivo lit t lo irtPA nf the imm??n.?w?
sums of money that the lomber and
other trusts are allowed to rob them
of each year. Ah a sample, take
the sugar trust and the sum of money
it is given tho right under the protective
tariff to rob the masses of.
Here are the facts as given by a
writer in the Commoner:
One of the heaviest burdens carried
in the tariff bill is that of sugar,
and the persons who carry it are the
consumers. Sugar is a universal article
of diet in this country. The
poor man uses as much of it as
does the rich man, and, there being
more poor men than there are rich
men, it is easy to figure out which
class is most afTected by the tarifT
on it. As some one has put it, it
taxes poverty in proportion to its
needs and the more tax poverty
pays the more wealth gains in unjust
exemption.
It is easy of demonstration that
the only real beneficiary of the tariff
is the sugar trust. The growers are
deluded into the belief that if it
were not for the tariff the trust
would pay them less for their cane
and beets. Vet it would be difficult
for anyone to conceive why the
trust, which dominates the market
and fixes all prices, would pay more
under any circumstances than it was
compelled to do.
No balder, bolder bit of briggaudage
than the sugar schedule reveals
can be found in the whole tariff
bill. Th? American people consume
annually a per capita of eighty-one
pounds of sugar. Kvery pound of
this passes through the hands of the
sugar trust and the other refineries
that accept its price dictation and,
never warring with it. may well he
assumed as u part of it.
The (Juriff on refined sugar of
standard quality is $1.90 a hundred
pounds, which is just a little less
than it costs to manufacture a hunto
shut out reflued sugar. That it
deliberately placed that high in order
to shut out refined sugar. That is
is effective is shown by the fact
that in 1907 but 219 tons wero imported.
while last year there were
but 430.
Iu order to still further entrench
the trust in its position, the tariff
bill provides that no sugar may be
imported unless it is of a certain
standard color, which menus that it
must be in a certain state of rawnest
that renders it unsalable except to
the sugar refiners. This is important
because three-fourths of the sugar
we consume is imported. So important
is it that the price of all sugar
is based upon the price of this
"Dutch standard" in New York.
An examination of the sugar schedule
proves the truth of the contention
of Senator Clay of Georgia in
his recent speech, when he said that
j the tariff is so adjusted that for
every dollar collected in duties, the
trust cau aud does exact more than
a dollar of profit from consumers.
Hero is how the tariff ou sugar, n
necessity of life, affects price:
The average wholesale price in
Hamberg in 1908 was 2.64 cents;
In New York It was 4.96. The trust
has frequently sold sugar for export,
its surplus, for three cents a
pound, because the tariff shut out
the foreign refiner from the home
market and enabled the trust to
compete elsewhere. That the truBt
gets the greater part of the tax Is
proved by this computation:
There are approximately 90,000,000
persons in the United States,
each of whom consumes eightyone
pounds. The average difference
in price of sugar between Ham berg
and New York for ten years has
been 1.89 cents a pound. Multiply
this by the amount of sugar consumed
and It means a difference of
$1.16.000,000 a year.
Of this sum the government collected
and received by reason of
the tariff $63,000,000. The other
$33,000,000 was taken by the trust
as its share of the tariff loot. Stated
in other terms If the tariff were removed
entirely, It would cheapen
the cost of sugar to every consumer
nearly 2 cents a pound and deprive
the government of but $63,000,000
of revenue. If the schedules were
fixed unon a atrletlv r.. vomit Xt-i,
sugar would be reduced about 25 1
per cent In price. <
Protection to the extent of $83.- t
000,000 a year is given the trust, 1
which stands convicted of robbing 1
its beneficiaries by short weights. 1
The schedules as now arranged give i
it the lawful right to exact that t
amount in tribute from tho eonsu- t
mer and its character as a monopoly 1
makes it possible for it to decide t
how much of that amount It will 1
give tho cane and heat growers. i

COMMITS SUICIDE IT

VERY SAB TRAGEDY.
Gersham FrudelNon Shoots Him- Y
self Because a Young Lady Rejected
His Suit.
Geraham Fendelson. a young white
man of Columbia, aged twenty-four N
yeans, oommltted suicide Monday v
night, and Coroner Walker, viewing d
the body Tuesday morning, decided n
that there was no need to hold an s
Inquest. Unrequited love is given n
as the cause of the suicide. n
A clear statement of the cause of e
the tragedy was given by Miss Mamie c
Watts, who lives with her step-father,
Mr.Ferguson, at 2,005 Wilson .(
street, almost directly In the rear of b
the Uranby Methodist church. Sat- e
urday afternoon the young man re- t
turned a- photograph which she bad 1
gtven him. He also sent her word d
by her younger sister and sought the b
return of a scarf pin and a ring that li
be had given the young woman. She o
declined to return them except to him
directly. a
Fendelson boarded with Mr. Jenk- s
ins, whose house faces the street f
on which the church is located, and b
the back yards of the two houses ad- t
Join. He had beer, living in Colijm- a
bla since February and went there t
from Darlington. Rooming with him s
were some young men whom he had a
known. Monday afternoon while v
Fendelson and some other boys were s
looking at some post cards, he pick- t
ed up a .3 2 calibre Colt's magazine
gun and put it in his pocket, stating j,
that he had to go over on the Pal- f
metto mill hill in the evening and c
some of the boys over there had it r
in for him. The pistol belonged to a
Willie Minis, who was not in the j
room at the time, and the other >
boys did not stop Fendelson, for he
claimed ta have permission to get
it.
Fendelson went over to see Miss
Watts early in the evening, and they *
with her mother went to preaching
at the church on the Palmetto hill.
11? talked to the girl but little and
was with her mother most of the s
time. On the return to the house
the girl took off the scarf pin and f
ring and offered them to the young (
man. but he declined them, saying 1
that he would never have any fur- <
ther use for them. Miss Watts stat- *
ed that he seemed sad and spoke ?
strangely. Finally he took from his *
pocket a photograph of himself and *
said tt was for the girl's mother to <
remember him by, bb he expected to 1
die. I
With that ho walked out of the 1
house, and in a moment there was
the report of a pistol. Tho girl call- '
ed her mother. She was not alarm- 1
ed, but thought Gersham was just 1
trying to worry her. But tho moth- <
er had observed with a closer intui- 1
tion and declared her belief that the *
boy had really harmed himself. The (
girl went to the door with a lamp ?
and. peering out into the darkness. '

Thoroughly horritied she then (

of the pistol as a train was coming
In. but one of the wiatchmen in that (

The body was embalmed six years j
ago and is now as stiff as a board y

WAS BLOODY BATTLE
Thin Wan the Sequel of Anoths
er Tragedy That Grew Out of a
Political Content iu Meadville,
Mis*.?Troops Hushed to the Scene
to PreTent Rioting.
There was a bloody street battle
at Meadville, Miss., on Tuesday afternoon,
in which two men were killed,
two perhaps fatally wounded
and three others slightly injured.
As a result of the unfortunate affair,
feeling at Meadville ran high
! and State troops were rushed there
from Brockhaven Tuesday night to
guard against a possibility of rioting.
i iiumm k utea in me anrav were
Dr. A. M. Newman, clerk of the
Chancery Court, of Franklin conn- '
ty, and Sllaa G. Reynolds. Dr. Le- 1
nox Newman, a son of one of the (
slain men, is believed to have been 1
fatally injured, and Herbert Apple- '
white, an attorney, may not recover
as the result of his wounds. Km- 1
mett Newman, another son, was shot
in the leg.
The three were taken to Natchez 1
for medical attention, after having
been formally placed under arrest. '
Two men named Hoyd and Parr, :
alleged to have been involved in '
the affray, were slightly wounded, '
but escaped and have not been cap- '
tured. L. P. Prltchard. a brother of
Cornelius Prltchard, whom Newman
killed seven weeks ago, was arrested '
and charged with complicity in the
tragedy. 1
The killing of Pritchard by Newman
was the first bloodshed to mark
a feud that had existed between the 1
two men. relatives and friends, for
months. This bitter factionalism
had ?ts inception in a political campaign
in which Newman and Prltchard
were opposing candidates.
Newman was tried a few weeks
ago for Pritchard's murder, and was 1
acquitted. This served to arouse
even mote bitter feeling among the 1
relatives and friends of Prltchard
and the Newman family and faction.
Tuesday's fight occurred almost on
the same spot where Pritchard was
slain.
Apparently Newman was first fired
upon as ho was passing the Butler
building in Lis buggy. The shot
came from one of the tooms ou the
second floor of the building. It failed
to take effect, and Newman jumped
from his buggy, rushed to the
front of the building, drawing his
pistol, it is asserted, in tho mean
| UIBP.
It is claimed that, as Newman
reached the sidewalk he was attacked
by Reynolds and Applewhite.
Sons of I>r. Newman, who were nearby.
rushed to the scene and engaged
in the duel. Numerous volleys were
exchanged, but it is apparently n .
matter of doubt who fired the fatal
shots. (
The gragedy is thought to have
been a direct result of the killing
of Cornelius Pritchard by I)r. Newman
seven weeks ago, and Dr. Newman's
acquittal recently on the
charge of murder.
The feeling between Applewhite ,
and Newman is said to have been t
very bitter. On several occasions
it is reported that Newman had or- |
dered the attorney from the chancery
clerk's office. Applewhite was ,
wounded in the Newman-Pritchard .
encounter. ,
The encounter, from the meagre .
facts known, were fiercely waged, ]
and the lives of numerous bystand- (
ers were jeopardized. ,

THE PEOPLE ROBBED
i TARIFF FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROTECTION IS GRAFT.
t Gives a Few the Privllefc by Law
of Preying Upon the Rest of the
People.
Former Governor Joseph W. Folk,
itopping in Denver after a trip
hrough the West gave an interview
o the Denver News in which interriew
he said: "From what I have
earned in my trip through the West.
can say that the Democratic party
vill undoubtedly win out in the next
residential election. And tariff is
it the bottom of it all. The discussion
of that great national and
nternational topic has made it clear
o the people that the tariff is a tax.
"They are awakening to the injus.ice
of 80,000,000 people being tax?d
to make a few very rich, and. that
t is more important that all of the
veople be prosperous than some of
:he people bo extremely wealthy.
Instead of protecting monopoly 1
lgainsi me people, tne demand now
s that people be protected against
monopoly. A tariff for the purpose
5f protection is graft. It is a privilege
conferred on the faw to prey
upon the rest of the people.
"If the Democratic party will stand
for the real principles of Democracy,
which are opposition to the privilege
of lawlessness and privileges conferred
by law, it will succeed. The
trouble has beeu that so many who
call themselves Democrats voted
against the party's principles when
Ihey see a chance of getlng a part
of the graft for their own States or
districts. This must stop," he interjected
emphatically.
The great fighter of graft and
crime took occasion to criticise severely
the stand taken by a number
of Democrats in the present congress.
He insisted that recent votes in that
body indicated clearly that tiny had
deserted the teachings of their own
party and had declared without the
least hesitation for the monopoly
tariff as framed by the Republican
par'y.
"As a matter of fact," he said,
"the tariff discussion in congress
seems to have degenerated into a
game of grab, with many of the
senators and representatives trying
to get a pnrt of the loot for their
own districts. The Democratic party
must stand squarely against the monopoly
tariff and for equal rights
to all. otherwise it stands for nothing.
And then, if the party declares
bodily for the rights of all, as opposed
to the privileges of a fern-, it
will win."
