On a hill overlooking the track is a-lafge tank. From this tank seems pretty clear that if any changes in thCi tariff are to be made, one articlo upon which reduction is most likely to be made is sugar. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, for instance, has introduced a bill to put sugar, molasBes, and melado ou the f»oo list. Ho does not reoommend that a bounty be given to American producers. A bounty is, however, a part of the republican programme. The proposition to decrease the dutji on sugar will meet with strong support from New England and the west.
