SUG *R: AND THE TARIFF. The: gentlemen who were uproariously insisting that the enactment of the Dingley law was the true cause of the advance in the price of sugar-trust stock are saying nothing about the fact. thatithe stock bas fallen from 160 to 120 with that same Dingley law still in. force. Tt is easy to make assertions, bat,the fellow who makes them on a falee basis.is likely to get tripped up in the long ran. If the advance in the sugat-trast stock coincident with the enactment of the Dingley law was due to permanent advantages which the trust,was: given’ under. that. law, why has its’ stock fallen within seven moiithé of the enactment of: tbat law to a figure lower than that at which it sold before the law was enacted? The fact is, the advance in sugar-trust stock, which occurred as soon as it was known that the act'would place no internal-revenue tax upon the sugar, alre.dy in the bonded warehouses in this country, was due solely to the know1 dge: that «the trust had enormous quantities of sugar on hand upon which “it would” realize extra profits equal to the increase of duties made by the Dingley law. While this specjal advantage was only temporary and likely to simply continue until the etock of sugar in hand was absorbed, it was jegt: to. indicate. extra divi-. : danfs‘and a consequent:advance. Now that the large stock of sugar which the ¢t-ust had then in hand has been absorbed and the profits made upon it, the stock goes back to a figure lower than that at which it sold prior to the enactment .of the Dingley law, thus showing that. the claim that that law would operate to its permanent advanee —THE COURSE OF WISDOM. it McKinley’s conservative i attitude in regard to the situation, and the.care which sinistration is exercising to prevy -nt unwise and dangerous action, con¢ nue to receive the highest approbation from citizens and representative journals of all parties.

The next instant he swings in air, hooked .through the throat. He is lifted into the boat, grasped. between.the left thumb and forefinger, and the point of the small blade of a knife is down just between his eyes. Sometimes . he sheds tears. His struggles are stilled in an instant. His hind legs are:quiekly severed from his-body and tossed into a bucket filled. with ice water. .
