Cunningham sent word to Sheriff
Stiands soon after the cutting thai
he would come in on Monday and
surrender. Cunningham is a good

ME TARIFF A TAX.
The Clearfield Public Spirit anent
the decrease in the price of sugar
proves.quite logically that the tariff
is a tax: "The price of sugar since
the repeal of the tax proves to
every one that the tariff is a tax.
The import duty on sugar was 2
cents a pound. It was repealed,
and the price of sugar fell 2 cents a
pound. This shows that the tax
has always been added to the price
and that when the consumer bought
the sugar he paid the tax. No man
who is not a Bepublican politician
holding office or expecting office
will undertake to refute this doc
trine. The doctrine that levying of
duties increases the cost to the con
sumer is self-evident and carried
enough forceful conviction with it
last November to whip the Billion
Dollar Congress out of its boots.
The cunning Blaine calls this drop

roosters crow on the "sugar drop,!'

Democrats they make.

But the same conditions that kept
the prices up and made cotton rais

raising other crops no longer exist,
