the year ending June 80, 1894. al
4,343,209,600 pounds.
The Sugar trust representatives used
to claim that the cost of refining sugar
was live-eighth cent per pound Later
they allowed that it cost only one- hell
cent, and later still they have acknowl-
edged to a cost of only threeeighths
cent per pound to refine sugar.
If we apply these various costs to last
year’s consumption, we get at the total
cost of refining as toilette:
Cost to retina

Cents. o! refining
sesame ............... l: sesame
ammo . ............. 21,710,007
We thus find that within the past
year the three varied statements which
have been set forth by the Sugar trust
as to the cost of refining sugar show a
discrepancy of $10,858,025. Which one
are we to believe is the correct one? Let
us try to find out.
The average weight of a barrel of
sugar may be taken at 325 pounds,
which means a total annual consump-
tion of 13,363, 720 barrels a year in the
United States. It the refineries work on
325 days in each year, it means a daily
output of 41,119 barrels. If they work
only on an average of 300 days yearly,
it means an average daily output of
- 44, 500 barrels of sugar.
It takes 800 men on an average to do
the entire work of refining and deliver-
ing an output of 3,000 barrels oi sugar
daily, and this is a liberal allowance.
We thus have a total of 12,000 men con-
stantly employed throughout the your
to handle an output of 45, 000 barrels.
If we compare the number of persons
thus employed by the refiners with the
total cost of refining sugar, we are on-
ablod to (escortaiu their annual wages.
Thus:

it cant. 21316.05 1.800 6 06
% cent. 10,287.03”) 1.857 4 521
This is aromarkablo exhibit. It seems
remarkable from several points of view.
We find that the reduced estimates in
the cost of refining sugar have caused a
reduction of $3 per day in the wages
earned by the refinery employees, from
$7.54 down to 84.52 per day. from $2,
202 down to $1,357 per anunm. This is
a serious decline in wages since the
country passed into the hands of a Dem-
ocratic administration, yet we have
heard no complaints from those sugar
workers, who evidently are still content
with a paltry $4.52 per day.
But ithas been stated repeatedly in
the public press that the sugar refinery
workers earn oulySl. 50 and $2 per day.
Taking the larger sum and we would
only have $000 a your for each, or $7,
200,000 a year for all. What can be-
come of the remaining millions? Is it
all absorbed by the salaries of the high
ofllciuls of tho refineries, $20, 000, 000 0
year, or $14,500,000 a year, or even
89, 000, 000 a your on the basis of a
throe-oighths cont per pound cost of re-
fining?
Not long siuoo Mr. llavt-moycr stated
that them were 20,000 In‘l‘SllllS employed
directly and imlirvclly in the business
of sugar refining. Let us ugnm with
him for tho umumnt, and let us pay
them each $2 per day during 300 days
in the your. This gives us a total ox-
.peudituro of 812, 000, 000 and still
leaves, on the lowest trust basis of tho
cost of rolining, a trifle of $4,287,035 to
be nbsorlx’d-how'.‘
If tho hood officials of tho refineries
do not (dumb $4,287,035 in salaries,
then it must go to tho mun. lint thorn
are not 20,000 lwrsous employed in the
sugar refineries of tho United Stake.
There are only l 2,000 hands. The men
who do the hauling and dolimriug oi
sugar should not even be taken into ac-
count in any adjustment of the sugar
tariff schedule, because they will ul-
wuys find employment. Sugar will he
delivered from some source and con-
earned.
Let every nuuiufacturor and every la»
borer summer for himself it an average
daily wage of $1. 02, or an annual wage
0! Ol, 36?, be not counidorcdas fairly
good pay, this in ing on the lowest basis
of the coat of refilling for 12,000 men.
it is much larger than any average of
wages as given in any other industry at
the country in the census reports oi 1800.
Perhaps it was this extreme liberality
on the part oi the sugar refiners that
caused them to withhold their report»
' from the census ol'lleiais. They may
have feared causing discontent among
other wage camera They may have
(headed such a demand for employment
as would have compelled them to reduce
their liberal wages. They may have
even dromled the publicity at their ea-
liners.
It the oostoi’ refining sugar in the
United States were only onequarter
cent per pound, it wmdd give a tow
annual expense account of “0,868,000.

before the cashier looking very nerv-
“(kn I have my money backl" he
asked anxiously.
“Certainly,” ysaid the cashier, “it
you want it. It’s yours and years
only."
The youngmantook hismoneyand
went away looking much relieved.
This incident, ralatedto anup town
group, reminded a man, now a mil-
lionaire, of an early experience in
his life.
“Whenlwas young,” he said, “I
want out west looking for gold. I
landed finallyin a mining camp in
Idahoin pretty bad condition finan-
. cially, but here I had a little luck and
began to save. When Ihad accumu-
. lated gold dust worth a couple of
hundred dollars, I trumped down the
valley to a mining town and depos-
ited it in the bank there. Then I
trudged back to my cabin.
“I got to thinking that evening,
and the more I thought about it the
more I knew that I did not like the
look in the eye of the chap who had
received my money. It was ImpOBSI-
ble for me to go to sleep, so I got up
somewhere around midnight, dressed
and walked back down the valley,
getting to the town about 4 o ‘clock in
the morning. There I sat down on
the steps of the bank to wait develop-
ments. I had thoroughly made up
my mind by this time that there was
not one chance in a thousand of my
ever getting back my money. I did
not believe that the man would be in
the bank when it was opened. He
had taken my money and fled. But
I had brought my revolver, and I was
determined to kick upa terrible rum-
pus with somebody about it. I sat
there until a man came along in the
morning and opened the doors. I
asked him for my money, and be said
that he couldn’t give it to me; that I
would have to wait for the teller.
That was just what I had expected.
The teller was the man with the bad
eye, and I knew he would not turn
up.
“ ‘All right,‘ i said to the man,
‘I‘m going to wait here, and if some
one doesn’t produce my money pret
tyrwok there is going to be trouble‘
1'” that man with the bad eyc
did appear, much to my surprise. I
watched him cuter the bank, go be-
hind the counter and got ready for
business. Then I went up to him,
holding out the slip of paper which
he had given me as an acknowledg
merit of my deposit.
“ ‘I want my money,’ I said in a
tone that meant business.
“He looked at me evidently recog-
nizing me, With a smile on his face.
“ ‘Nowfi Isaid, ‘don‘t try to make
excuses. I want my money and I'm
going to have it.’
“At that he burst into laughter.
“ “My son,’ he said, ‘you may have
it if you want it, but there is no need
to Worry about it. See hero.“ And
he throw opon a vault door, showing
me whole sacks of gold.
“Ho finally convinced me that my
little $200 was sufo, but that night ol
worry over my dopmit was tho worst

A Fatal Question.
Two maiden ladies walked into a Broad-
way furniture store the other day and ask-
ed to be shown some chamber suits of
reasonable price.
They were tall, thin, prim and sisters.
The salesman showed them an extensive
line of bedroom furniture.
At last a suit was reached that pleased
one of the women.
What's the price of this!” she asked.
“Twonty-cight dollars, " replied the
salesman. “Seven pieces in the set. Made
of thoroughly samurai wood. Everything
is first class about it. You couldn't buy
one like it anywhere else in the city for
loss than 835. It's a bargain."
“It does seem reasonable, Sarah," said
the woman who had asked the price of the
set.
Sarah walked around the bedstead, scru—
tinized it carefully from sevurai points of
view and ilnully shook her head.
"It dm‘sn’t quite suit me,” she said.
They left the stow.
When they had reached the sidewalk,
Mary said:
”Hamil, Ithink we mado a mistake in
not taking that suit."
