The Sugar Trade OF the
World.

From an article on the Sugar Trade of
the world, in late number of Hunts Ma
gazns, We gather the following.
"Great Britain and Ireland imported in
I64l, 4 OBS, 645 cwts of sugar; Of which
were exported 629, 3l7 cw:s either raw or
refined. The total Of sugar imported into
Great Britain in 1912, 234,963 tons, Of
which 1913 900 were for home consumption.
| A considerable portion of the sugar con-
sumed in France is manufactured in that
country from bcet-rOot. In 1910 the pro-
duct of beet-root sugar in France was 49,
900. During tho same year, $4,000 tons
of foreign sugar was imported into France,
and 10 500 tons exported; leaving for the
consumption of the whole of France, 81, 300
tons. The product of beet.FOot sugar in
France has fallen of materially during the
last few years, Notwithstanding the high du-
ties imposed on foreign sugar
In 1910, 10000 tons Of sugar were i'm.
ported into Holland, valued at e., 49,, 740.
The same year was exported raw sugar to
the value of f276,OOO, and refined sugar to

DEMOCRATIC LOVE FOR THE People
The tocofoco leaders in Congress, who are
ever ready to I'll the air with their proTes~
sions Of loUe for The people, chen soliciting
their UoteS, arc now engaged in an endeavor
to reduce the pay Of the common soldiers,
and Don.commissioned officers of the army.
From each Of these poor fellows, they arc
for taking dollar, and two dollars a month.
They contemplate reducing the paw Of the
dragons from So to $6-from the infantry,
to abstract dollar monthly; but in this
mighty effort to economist the public treas
sure, they are content to continue to receive
eight dollars day themselves, while they
are unwilling to allow the brave defender
of his country as much pay for a months
service. This is the way these locofoco
leaders prove their lone for the peopIe-thus
it is, that they fill their own pockets, and
ilch from the poor soldier fourth Of the
wretched pltance allowed him by his coun-
try for periIing his life in her defence.
The people have however, seen through
the fimsy veil, by which these designing
and unprincipled politicians attempt TO
Ihoodwink and deceive them, and hence it
lis, that fourteen out of the fifteen congress.
sional elections that have been held since
the Democratic Van Buren, House of Rep
resentatives came into power, have so elo-
riously terminated in favor Of the Wings
the people now know, that the Wings Of

true friends of the country and the people

pie to meet and deliberate on all subjects I
pertaining TO their interests, and to discuss
all matters of opinion, without disturbance !
or Interruption, are rights which should ne
YER be infrlnged either by law or without law. !
It's sacred duty ofgovernment to prevent
these great rights from being violatedd by its
officers, and also 10 protect them from all iDs
fringments by individuals. II the govern
ment fails to do so, it fails TO do its DUTY
There is no real liberty where these rights
do not receive adequate and ample protec-
ton. Liberty is an empty form, a mere mock
cry, when freedom Of opinion is not fully
sustained. And it is a matter of indiffer~
ence whether this liberty is impaired by
tyrannical rulers, bigotted and ntoIerant &C.
clesiastics, or lawless rioters. Liberty should
exist free from the violence of tyrants, the
insidious despotism Of priestcraft, and the
mad fury of Mobs. All these things should
be guarded against and avoided in free
Republic. Vigilance should be the watch
word of freemen.-St Louis NeO Era.
THE GREAT WEsT-ThQ following ex~
tracts from the speech Of the Hon. ]. ].
HARDIN, of Illinois, show at a glance the
! importance as we'll as the resources of the
Great West We have no where seen, says
the Cincinnati Gazette, more comprehen-
sive statement Of facts on the subject OF
which he treats than those compiled by him
and as a matter for future reference they
are of great value for their authenticity and
correctness:
In 1910 the population Of the Western
States was 6,376,072. In 1910 the popu-
lation of the Atlantic States was I0,66S,,
39l. The area Of the Western States, r
square miles, is $50 $50. The area of the
Atlantic States, in square miles is 44S,65O.
The increase Of the Atlantic States from
1880 to 1910 was at the rate of Is per cent
The increase of the Western States dur,
ing the same period was at the rate Of Z;
per cent.
The increase of the Atlantic States from
1910 to 1910 was as 100 TO 1874.
The increase of the Western States from
J 1910 TO 1910 was as 100 TO 1914.
! II will be thus found, that whilst the Al
years, the Western States have, in the sam
time, augmented six fold.
In some of the new States the increas
far exceeded the general average; for in
} lance, the decennial increase OF Mississippi
, was III per cent, of Missouri l73 per cen
, Of Illinois 2O2 per cont, and of Mchiga
: SIS per cent.
In 1850 the population Of the Atlanti
and Western States will be very nearl
, equal: if they progress in population in tn
: same ratio that they have done for the la!
ten or twenty years, and at every succeed
; ing census the relative strength of the We
0 will increase on the Atlantic States.

MIR. CLAWS LETTER.

Mr.. Claws letter on the annexation OF
Texas has appeared in the National lntclli-
gencer; we give below brief summary OF
the essential matters of which it speaks.
Mr.. Clay says he has not seen the treaty
therefore cannot adapt his exposition to what
it contains; he must therefore treat of the
sablect according to the supposed terms OF
the treaty. The question of annexation
would appear in a different light, if it was
presented without national dshonor, the
hazard of foreign war; with the general con
sent of the people, and without giving an
unwarrantable price for Texas.
A title was acquired to Texas by the
Louisiana treaty; this title was afterwards
coded to Spain. He is of the opinion that
Texas was sacrificed in order TO obtain
Florida, and although great sacrifice was
made when Texas was yielded, VIC ought not
TO sacrifice too much to get it back. He
opposed the alienation of Texas, but it hay-
ing been done. we could no more resume II,
than Spain could Mexico, France Louisiana,
or Great Britain the United States. During
the administration of Mr.. Adams, he Mr..
Clay) had instructed our Minister to Mcxi-
co TO propose the re- purchase of Texas, but
the Minister did not do it.
After the battle of San Jacinto, the Uni
ted States according TO its established prac-
tice acknowledged the independence OF
Texas; but this did not impair the rights OF
Mexico, or change her relations with Texas.
Mexico still persists in her right tie reduce
Texas TO obedience. Under these circum-
stances the annexation of Texas with the
United States would be equivalent tie war
with Mexico. Assuming that the annexa-
ton of Texas is war with Mexico, has the
treaty making power a right to plunge the
country into a war without the consent of
Congress, which body by the constitution
has the sole power of declaring war? SO
far he has considered the question on the
ground that annexation is attempted without
the consent Of Mexico; if Mexico should
consent, the foreign aspect of the question
would be confined 10 domestic consldera-
tons, including the terms of the proposed
annexation.
The above is the substance of Mr.. Clay's
position. so far as annexation involves the
question of national right; the balance OF
the letter is mainly devoted to the probable
effects which annexation would have upon
the general condition and interests Of this
Union.

CALIFORNIA.

To show the relative position Of Cali
rorna, it may be stated that it stretches
from SO to 1000 miles along the Pacific,
parallel to the State Of Missouri and Ar
kansas. That the harbors Of st. Fransico
and Monterey two the best and largest on
the Pacific, lie nearly West of St. Louis,
and that Lexington, in this State, is about
equi distant between Portland, and Maine.
and St. Francisco. Between Lexington
and Portland passage can now be made,
through the facilities afforded by railroads
and steamboats,, in fifteen days, at an ex-
pense Of forty or fifty dollars. Those
who imagine that we are too sanguine, or
too visionary, on the subject of the exten,
sion of our territory and population on the
Pacific border, should reflect that less than
half century ago, ST. Louis was not in
The United States; forty-two years since,
the city which we inhabit and which we
boast of as being one Of the most flourish
ing in the Union, was a province Of France,
and few years previous under the govern
ment OK Spain. Then 81. Louis was moi
in the Union; now, it is in the centre-sc
far AS territory is concerned, being nearly
equi distant between Frederickton and
Astoria, Lake Superior and the Gulf oil
Mexico. At that 1imc, trip from New
York to this place was almost as tedious
and perious as journey now is to from
this To Oregon.
Forty years since, Robert Fulton re
quested Of Congress the use Of Hall Of the
House Of Repre- sentatives, to deliver an adj
dress on the use Of steam for propeline
boats, but was refused-the "assemblec
wisdom Of the nation" deeming the idea
too absurd for the consideration of reason
able men. Fifteen years since, there
weyc but two or three sbert railroads in
this country. At that time u gentleman
of Boston, Hon. William Foster; invtet
the citizens Of capital enterprise TO meot a
his Office to cons ider the eXpediency of con
structing railroad to Providence. Only
one person appeared aid he pronounced Tho
project wild one. Now, there are eigh
hundred and fifty mleS Of railroad conncc
led with city of Boston, and there is in lh'
United States an extent OF more than Iou
thousand miles, constructed at an ex
pense of sixty or seventy millions Of dol
lars. Those who take these facts into con
sderal, on will be convinced that 'smind'
is on the "march," and thlt
