THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. FREE SUGAR WITH A VENGEANCE- The republican members of the commit tee on way and means have decided to admit raw sugar free of duty and pay a bounty of two cents per pound to those who produce sugar In this country. No greater outrage upon a people who boast of Del rig tree was ever proposed, The ef feet of such legislation, if it shou'd ever be enacted, would be to take out of the treas ury of the United States over fifty million dollars without, in fact, cheapening sugar to the tax payer of the country. The rea son is this: Nearly all the raw sugar Im ported Into this country is below No 13 Dutch standard and upon which there Is r.ow a duty of one and forty-hundriths cents per pound, The republicans pro pose to take oh this duty, and. In order to compensate our home sugar producers for this cut, thay propose to pay a bounty of two cents a bound for every pound pro duced at home. This bounty will come out of the treasury of the United States, hence this bounty is paid by the consum ers of sugar after all. The small amount of sugar produced in this country makes It an easy matter for foreign producers, Importers, and speculators to form combi nations by which the sugar product will be entirely In their contro'.int1, therefore, the people of this co untry could not expect or hone to set sugar cheaper under the "bounty system" than under the protective system. But It Is barelv possible that this "rounty bill" will ever pass. Should It pass It wllf mark the beginning of the end of the protective system, and, with It, the downfall of the republican party. This "bounty system" Is so utterly repugnant to, and Incompatible with the independent manhood of American citizenship that It Is a matter of surprise that any Intelligent congressman could be found who would favor such a movement. Give us free su gar, but no bounty. The dangerous ten dency of establishing such a precedent as this "bounty scheme" can not be too grave ly considered. It presupposes that this Is a paternal government whose duty Is to Inquire Into every man's private business, and If It be found that his business Is lan guishing, then to extend government aid In the way of a bounty on his products Are the American people ready to subvert the fundamental principles of their own government by the adoption of this scheme? If men In business are to depend dpon a bounty from the government In order to make their business a success, where and when will the demands for bounty end? Are not O.e wheat and corn producers of the country whose business is In a deplorable condition of languUh ment just as much entitled to a bounty on every bushel of grain they produce as are the sugar growers of Louisiana? The scheme is a fraud, an outrage and the most clangcous ever proposed. It destroys all self-reliance which Is at once destructive of that attribute of American citizenship which In time past has made this country great. Those who depend upon and re ceive such aid are no longer freemen, but mere wards and dependents upon a pater nal government Cheap sugar at such a fearful loss of American manhood and exemplary cltlzermhlp would In the end be dear Indeed. Let every voter In the coun try raise his voice against this wicked scheme of bounties. throughout the state agaiast Portland. This it true and considerable of this prejudice is senseless and without cause, but the people of Portland have by their own indiscretion and overreaching brought on themselves this pre judice. This non taxable bond scheme has produced miich of this prejudice. Portland bonds without the non-taxable clause could be floated in New Ycrk at par. It is to be hoped that the city will be content to get authoiity from the legislature to issue such bonds and all opposition will cese. The Republican Philadelphia Telegraph nopes Mr Cleveland will be nominated by the democrats In 1894, berause In that case, if the republicans should be beaten which, of course, It treats as wildly im probable "the Evening Telegraphy common with the entire country, would have the satisfaction of knowing that a man of signal ability In statecraft, as in other thinns, a man of strong covlctlons, with the absolute courage to maintain them, a man honorable, patriotic and sin cere, would be the Chief Magistrate of hi co uritrv for another four years." ITWllihRE AN ISSUE. The question is being asked whether the members of the legislature from Portland will, at the next session of the legislature sk that that city may issue non taxable t.oniU to aid in se curing good pure water for the use of her citi zens. Some time since the Ortgovian inti mated that the scheme of obtaining authority from the legislature to issue such bonds l.ad been given up But the Teltgram says a bill will le introduced ami, with great assurance. says it will pass. Every unbiased, right think ing man in or outside of Portland must ear nestly hope that that city may secure a boun teous sup ply of good wholesome water. Nothing Is more needed in that city. It is to be ear nestly honed tint the people of Portland will not ask the legislature to grant so great a priv liege as that of issuing non taxable bonds to secure money to construct water works, The reason of this is too apparent, To issue such bonds would give Portland capitalists the much coveted opportunity of turning their money which is taxable into bonds which are not tax able and thus escape their share fxotanto of the burdens of taxation to pay the expenses of state affairs. This would be unjust to the great body of the people of the state, for it is a cardinal principle M state ana tctleral gover- ment that taxation should be equal and uni form and that there should by equality of 'priv ileges amsng all citizens and sjecial privileges to none. But we are totd that these bonds will be sold in New York, and hence the state can never reach them to tax them. It Is fur ther urged that if they arc made non taxable they would sell on the market lor a better price. But this argument is contradictory for if they could not tc reached in New York for taxation purposes then taxable bonds would sell as well there as non taxable bonds. From reliable sources we learn that the effort to pass the non taxable bond hill will be renewed and it behooves the iopte of the state to be on the alert and elect mcm xfi of the legislature who will stand out to the end against this Kheme. On divers oxasions the people of Portland have complained itut there is unjust prejudice I The repnbllcan majority in congress have ousted Cate, democrat, who was e lected from the first congiestinnW district of Arkansas by 1200 majority and seated rcatherstone, republican, who was defeated by that majority. The former was ousted because he was a democrat, and the latter given the seat because he was a republican, It Is safe to bet that Cate will run again this fall and that he will have 4000 majori ty and be admitted to.
