It would mean a loss of from seven to fourteen billions on one year's sugar crop, a sum which exceeds the total value of all the property on the island. Because of that loss the Bee sees the rise of a revolutionary party “in Cuba and says it has caused the resignation of the Sécretary of Agriculture, Senor Terry, “who held the same position under Governor Wood” and is the leader of the Conservatives. This is a statement.ofy) fact that cannot be charged to an error in the type. It is an error in the text, since La Coste and not Ter- ry was the Secretary of Agriculture under Governor Wood. Cuba can produce all the sugar consumed in the United States and a surplus besides. The free admis- sion of Cuban sugar means the destruction of sugar production, both cane and beet, in this country and | also in our Tefritory of Hawaii. Peoplc who talK of economic conditions in Cuba will have a domestic’ problem in economics on hand if we give the island free trade. They will have to deal with the résults of - a destroyed industry in cane sugar in Ld\lisjana and; Eastern Texas and Hawaii and with the obsoleted capital invested in beet planting and. refining in a half-dozen States of the Union. It is at presehteasy to appeal ‘for American sympathy with the*Cuban’, sugar planters on the ground that we are under meral” obligations to give them a free market here. It is easy work for the sentimentalists, the free traders‘and for certain American manufacturers ‘who desire a Cuban market at the expense of the American farm- ers. It enables politicians to take whatthey are fond of calling “high ground” in dealing with the young | republic., But if these means succeed in securing the policy which they are used to promote we would like to know what “high ground” the same classes of ad- | vocates will take in persuading their despoiled coun- trymen that they must suffer for the good of for- eigners. We had reciprocal trade with Cuba ten years ago, by arrangement made with Spain. But while we made a gain in trade of about $8,000,000 thereby, Spain gained about $11,000,000. The present free trade proposition is urged because we are to have such 2n enormous trade to Cuba and the Cubans are to buy of us such unlimited and enor- mous quantities of goods in return for free access to our market with their sagar. Now there are only 1,600,000 people on the island. That isiless than the | population of Chicago. The Cubans, for climagc E reasons, may not have more than one-half of the con- | suming capacity of the people of Chicago.. When we | | | | increased from $16,675,563 to $24.680,373, but Spain’s exports to Cuba in the same years increased fromv $12.660,000 to $23,604,004. So we got a gain of only $8,013,810 and Spain got a gain of $10,035,004 in the three years of free trade and reciprocity. While the sentimentalists are talking of our moral obligation to make Cuba-prosperous and free traders zre urging Republicans tc lower the banner of pro- tection and cur’ people are being plied with pitiful stories aboitt industrial .conditions in the island, it | is weflto inquire what is going on at. home.. Qur beet “sugar production was especially declared to bé the object of care and solicitude when ‘the ‘Dingley tariff was under consideration. Mr. Dingley himself and Mr.; Payne of the Ways and Means. Committee declared that“the purpose:of the sugar schedule was to protect” the’ American sugar grower and enable him to expand his production to supply the whole do- | mestic consumption and ‘keep at home the one hun- {dred millions’ of “dollars paid annually for foreign sugar. Taking them at their word and relying upon the Republican party as.the proponent and defender of protection. as an economic principle the American tarmers and American investors began the produc- tion of beet sugar. The mills began to increase. Land |'was withdrawn from other production and American agriculture began to appreciate its debt to protection which had added another crop to the possible rota- tion of American farms. All this expansion of Amer- ican sugar production has ceased. A Denver dis- patch of last July to the- Statistical Sugar Journal says: “As.a matter of fact there is a lull in the-build- ing ‘of beet. sugar factories, ng nmew contracts being made “for next” year. Capita{ois holding back until the tariff question is settled and the general feeling | among those interested is that all prospects for fac- | tories will remain dormant until the sugar tariff is taken up at the next session of Cungress and defi- nitely settled.” | A dispatch from Milwaukee to the New York Times of September 28 says: “Richard Wagner of i“‘c Wisconsin Sugar Company said to-day’ that ‘his | company, which plans to build large sugar plants here, .would wait until the Government disposes’ of the--Cuban - reciprocity question before begimii:ig | work. If the measure go through'it will injure us and we do not intend to invest the money.until the ques- |'tion is disposed of. i factory, This not as picturesque as the picture of com- ““Mmnercial inzbility in Cuba, but it is at' home and affects ourselvess In his inaugusal address President McKin- ley said of reciprocity: “The end in view is always to ‘be*the o_peninx up of new markets for the prod- ucts of our country by granting concessions to the rroducts of other lands that we need and cannot pro- duce ourselves and which do not involve any loss of labor to'our own people, but tend to ingcase their | employment.” In his Buffalo speech, the day before his assassina- tion, he said: “If perchance some of our tariffs-are no longer needed for revenue nor to encourage and protect our indystries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad?” Surély', judged by the prudent standard maintained by him, the Cuban free ,sugar proposition has no standing i the councils of ‘American prof®ctionists. s e s e THE FIRST RAIN. ITH a timely cooling of the air and with W refreshment for the dry earth the first rain has come, bringing promise of a good sea- son. Of course one rain does not make a harvest any more than one swallow makes a spring, but it helps and" it serves as a forerunner, giving assurance of more to come. As a rule, the crops of the State have been ‘late this year, but by this time most of them haye ‘been safely housed The, grape crops will, of course, suffer had reciprocity with the island our exports thereto* 1f it is passed we will build no, ! somewhat from the rain; but they suffer every year. No matter how late the rains are in coming there are always' some Califorfia crops exposed, for our crops ripen along pretty nearly all through the year. There is not a month and hardly even a week that does not see the gathering of some sort of rural product with- in the limits of the State. -That being so, we must not lament that something is outgin the wet when the rain falls.

To him General Sumner, commanding the United States forces on the Mindanao Islands, sent an ultimatum commanding him to cease from troubling the progress of Chris- tianity and civilization and to make up his mind to be good. To‘the ultimatum t%e Sultan sent back word: “The Sultan of Bacolod desires war forthwith. He wishes to maintain the religion of Mohammed. Cease scnding Ietters. ‘We do not desire your friendship. What we' want is war.” The Sultan is to be congramlated on the terseness of his style.

Of course Generdl Sumner. will have to'go after him with ‘the Krag-Jorgenson and Gatling guns and’ perhaps-the water. cure, and then in a few days hé will be no more Sultan of Bacolod. In his fall, however, he will'not be without fame. He | may not fight-long enough nor hard enough to stag- ger humanity, as did old Kruger, and he will.not be able to lecture afterward, but he will live in memory as a man who knew what" he wanted at a critical time in his life and had the courage to speak it out. We note but one stain upon the sun-flaming bright- | fiess of the"Sultan’s defiance. He referred to General Sumner’s “ultimatum” as a “letter.” That was rude. An ultimatum ought never to be spoken of in that flippant manner. It is not exactly a sacred thing, but all civilized nations speak of it with awe. Doubtless the Sultan was unaware of that fact and his error may have been-one. of ignorance rather than of manner. We hope that is the case, for his note is otherwise so excellent it is a pity there should be even a suspicion of inténtional rudeness in it. Since it is not within the region of expectation that diplomatists will follow this fine example of direct speech, we recommend ‘it to'the attention of politi- cians and prize fighters. If any Democrat wishes a grapple with the protective system let him say so boldly. If any would-be champion desires to tackle the present holder of the belt let him speak out saying: *‘Send me no more letters. I wish to fight.” Sultan of Bacdlod, you are a fool, a benighted heathen and perhaps a pirate; but you talk: stranght May the coming and inevitable consequences of your brashness: teach you. wisdom without ‘injuring your health or weakening your nerve and your. native elo-. quence. | e —— un It) will be remembered . that in addressmg the Re- | publican convention in Ohio Senator Hanna said-the | country should “stand pat” on the tariff.

JONES, WHO DISPENSES JUSTICE IN THE TOWN OF MO_NTEZUMA. N. Y. HE IS MORE THAN SIX FEET TALL AND TIRS THE SCALES AT 476 POUNDS.V 3 F one would fully appreciate the weight of justice, a trip should be made to Montezuma, N. Y. There re- sides . in- that' town the champion beavy-welght jurist in the country. He is Charies C. Jones, six feet one inch in height, with a record of 476 pounds. Justice Jones has a waist measurement of sixty-seven inches; he wears a twenty- four inch collar and his chest measures sixty-four inches. For 'a man of hisigreat size he is particularly quick. and active, and, although he is the center of attrac- tion when he travels abroad, he accepts the staring’and comments with unfailing good nature. | Being’ quick of fthought, Justice Jones usually gets even with those who torment him. When he boards a car the conductor gives a frightened glance at his immense girth, then at the entrance of the car, but Jones manages to pass through with a very little squeezing, provided the car be not crowded. Once inside, however, his troubles begin, especfally if there be but one empty seat. Jones declares that his experiences while traveling would fill a book, and make amusing reading, too. He tells it as a huge joke that whenever he enters a car in which there is just space. for one more to sit down the people on each side of the space invariably rise if the jurist makes as though he were going to sit down, and three seats are none too many for him, efther. If he is seated when ladles enter he brings a bat- tery of smiles upon himself by arising and with a courteous bow telling three or even four to “be seated—no difficult task. Justice. Jones” home is a mod#l of solid- ity; the furniture is the heaviest and most substantial, and the Justice has his own particular chair, a huge affair, more like a settee than a single chair, three per- sons being .able to seat themselves com- fortably therein. His Montezuma friends have secured counterparts of this remark- able plece of furniture, which they place on their lawns and piazzas for his benefit in the summertime. ‘When he goes out for a stroll during Au- gust and the power of Old Sol creates a thirst it is no unusual thing to see him standing outside a drug stere drinking his friends’ health in soda, which the clerk obligingly cagries out to him. Needless to say, Justice Jones makes an impression when he appears in court. For- tunately his arguments are as powerful as his appearance, and his logic, coupled with his unfailing ‘govd nature, makes him a shining light ameng the dispensers of. justice in Montezuma. .*H+H—H—H—H—1—H—H+FPH'H’H'H"+H'FH-H+FH-H-PMFH.

Maslerpicces from Virginia Harned’s Great Play “Alice of Old Vincennes.” T is a strange peculiarity of authors that’ they- are always most unaccountably fearful about their best work. ‘Whén Maurice Thompson finished ‘“Alice of Old Vincennes” he was so discour- aged over it that he had almost determined to withhold it from the publishers altogether, when a friend read it, convinced merits and persuaded him to let the public be the judge. The result has been something truly extraordinary in American ‘““Alice of Old Vincennes” created a big, sensation | the very first, and was speedily rushed upon the nsge, with Virginia Harned as the star. And season after season it has been piling up money for both the actress and her manager at such a remarkable rate that the production’ has never been permitted to leave New York. The book itseif has broken all fecords, both in the East and in ‘Europe, and now its popularity is invading the West. Whm, therefore, The Sunday Call began its new literary pol- icy of publishing the latest and hest $1.50 novels of the day com- plete in two or at the most three editions of the Magazine Section, thereby working a surprising revolution in Western journalism, it not only secured the exclusive rights to “Alice of O1d Vincennes,” but arranged with Byron, the famous New York theatrical photog- ‘rapher, to take twenty-five to thirty full page pictures of the most thrilling and picturesque scenes in Virginia Harned’s great play to illustrate the book. which will bepublished complete in three num- bers of The Sunday Call, beginning next Sunday, October 19. . The photographs are masterpieces, so that you not only get the book, but the whole play from curtain to curtain as well, for 15 cents. The book will cost you §1,50 at the storés. You have to put your name on the weiting list at the libraries and then wait for weeks to get it. The photographs in folio form would cost you $1.00 apiece, therefore you get nearly $30 worth of literature and pmwo- graphic illustrations for 15 cents. That offer was never before only the beginning. “The Leopard’s Spots,” “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” “The Gentleman From Indiana” and “The Judas Iscariot,” which is the most talked of book of two to-day, are to follow. Watch for them if you desire to be on the very best literature of the day. hh“ofitl equaled anywhere. But this is Gospel of continents . 'Thl Sunday Call MWP- -mh bt |
