Ism havo but one argumont left, and that Ia
moro OF awhine than an argument. To quote
from one OF thom which reganls TuE 'rn1n-
uHE's support Of President HAYES policy as
"disloyal," 1t maintains tho theory to DO
fallacious aud contradictory "that, because
tho carpat-bag Governments have been un-
ablo "a. protect the blaeAs against tho nu.
nerous raids Of tho bulldozors, therefore tho
Governments, blacks and oil, ought 10 DO

This ia tatE sample Of the unfair way in
which The settlements In South Carolina and
Louisiana arc stated by tho opponents Of
President HAYES policy. Nrat. 1t must bo
noted that 1t Ia admitted the carpetbaggers
hare fuizad utterly to protect the blacks
indeed, this could scarcely bo denied In
giow Of the unpublished outrngoa Of the
last campaign. Next 1t is assumed that all
the people OF Louisiana and South Carolina,
outside Of tho b1acka and tho earrstbaggerB,
are bulfdozcra anil assassius. Such Ill as-
sumption is altogether unwarranted. aud
Ia monstrously falss. The fact In con-
coded that tho Governments Of these two
States, In passing fso1a tho hanls Of the
carpet-baggors, who admitted tAor inability
10 enforce the laws and protect the blacks,
have been intrustod to tho lenders OF tho

The failure Of tho National Exchange

leo In drawing special intention To a hill

that the Minneapolis bnnk officers abused
thoir privileges, misapprupriatcd their funds
to speculative uses, md received deposits up
to within few moments Of suspension,
though they must have known for souse tin1o
that u1eir institution was insolvont. This
practice Is criminal In fact, and tho bill now
before the Legislature proposes to mako It
criminal under tho law and puniahablc by
imprisonment In tho Penitontiary. Tho bill
NO refer to makes The acceptance Of the de-
posits At amy tiu1o within thirty days prior to

become law Of tho State, but 1t shonld b.
most strictly enforced by tho Courts. It's
operation will at The aame time serve to pro-
tcct innocent dopositors from donating their
money to bankrupt concerns, md detor

Tho enormous decrease of the sugar pro-
duction of Cuba which is proved by the
above figures is a READ and important M
tional loss 10 rs directly and indirectly; di-
roctly, because we have to draw our supplies
of raw material from more distant countries
and at an Increased cost, and indirectly, be-
cause these distant supplies reach rs prin-
cpally in foreign bottoms, and because we
lose an important market for our coopcrase
materials.
The figures which we give of the relative
receipts for the past three years at the ports
Of Havana and Matanzas Will Of course com
pare fayorahly with those Of the outports in
the more eastern sections of the island, for
the destruction OF property by the Gu
hans has not AS yet reached those districts
whose crops are shipped at Havana and Ma
tanzas. The decrease is therefore to be at
trlhutod not directly to the civil war in the
island, but to the fact that sugar manufac-
turing In Cuba does not pay. 1t is unremu-
noratiyc because taxation is excessive, and
