LOUISIANA SUGAR AND CUBA.

LOUISIANA SUGAR AND CUBA.
A recent correspondent of the National In
teligencer. argues that the acquisition Of Gu
bs would be ruinous to the sugar interests of
Louisiana. The time has gone by when any
branch of industry, which requires to be fos'
tered by restrictions and charges. csn De
considered benefit even to the community
which it is designed to protect. We believe
that even in Massachusetts they have come
t. the conclusion that they can sucoeeo ~
their various branches Of manufacturing eI'
terprise without government aid. Inc inter-
ests Of Americans in general, ought 70 De con-
suited quite as much as the interests OF Lou
isianians In particular. and If by means OF
annexation the sugar Of Cuba could be intro
duced into the United States, relieved of the
impost of about 40 per cent, it would certain
ly conduce to the greatest good of the great.
est number.
Apprehensions have been lately expressed
of the Louisiana sugar crop, by some of the
papers uf that State. The natural advantages
of Louisiana for the production of sugar, are
of course not to be compared to those OF Gu
ba. The culture is always attended with diff
fculties, and exposed to disasters.
The canes in Louisiana are planted every
year or two years; in Cuba, they last for
twenty five years, without any necessity Of
re-planting. In Louisiana they rarely exceed
the height of four or FIVE feet; in Cuba, they
reach 9, l2 and Is feet, sometimes more. In

quantity of saccharine substance, the plant
ers, from the fear of winter, cutting it before
it grows up or comes to maturity. In Cuba
its juice is SO sweet, that it is said to become
chrystalized in the rays of the Sun, for the
Games are not cut until they are quite ripe
the planter having no fear of frosts-only
cutting the quantity that can be ground on
the same day. The mildness of the climate
gives certainty to the crop. which is made in
the space of four or six months.
We suppose that the sugar production OF
Louisiana cannot much exceed 100000 hogs
heads year. But with annexation, and the
transfer to Cuba of the immense capital, the
splendid machinery, and the Anglo
enterprise, now employed in the sugar cul'
ture on the shores of the Mississippi, who
can doubt that the same men, with the same
means. would produce annually more than
half million of hogsheads?
We do not make these remarks to stimu-
late cupidity for the possession of Cuba
They are intended simply as an answer to the
objection which is urged against the annexa,
ton of Cuba, even upon the most just and
honorable terms, that it will injure the sugar
interests of Louisiana.

Tpr LONDON TIMES.

The baltimore American says that the re-
peal of the stamp duty on newspapers pub
lished in Great Britain, will take from the
pub,ic revenue of that country million Of
dollars annually, large portion of which
will 60 into the Golfers of the London Times.
It is stated that when the taxes on advertise
ments were repealed "that paper put into its
pocket an income of one hundred thousand
pounds by the measure" Nevertheless, 1t
neither asked nor advocated these changes
in the revenue laws, and for the simple reason
that whilst there would result an immediate
increase to its profits, it was also apparent
that powerful blow would be given to the
monopoly it had SO long enjoyed, and that
had enabled it to swallow up nearly all its
competitors. The removal of burdensome
taxes, it feared, would open the field to other
journals, which by enterprise might become
in time its rivals. not only in wealth but also
in popularity and influence. The colossal
power that this newspaper establishment has
gradually succeeded in acquiring and build
ing for itself, in the face of parlaments and
ministers, is well known, as also the dicta-
tional tone it generally assumes in dealing
with public men and measures, so that it may
be safely conjectured the government in lib
eralizing its policy towards newspapers, had
in view what it hoped would follow, the real.
ization of the worst fears of the Times"
The British government is engaged in a
hopeless contest when it struggles with the
Times. 1t is fighting in fact with Olympus.
That journal is more powerful in Great Brit
ain than monarch or Parliament. Its i'm
mense capital and prodigious talent bid de-
fance to Queen, Lords and Commons.
| The London Times often advocates doc.
trines and principles distasteful to Ameri-
cans, but no one can help admiring its stern
independence and lofty heroism. Where else
in Europeis there such firm and free spoken
press In vain you look over the continent
for its parallel. 1t is the solitary beacon fire
of free thought and free speech in the old
world Extinguish it, and what Zimmerman
| darkness would enshroud the East Britons
| regard their constitution as the bulwark of
| freedom, but the London Times is a grand
bulwark of the constitution, and has its strong
foundations in the sterling sense and stub
born independence Of the British people.
