THE New York HaG!d, in its issue of
the 7th inst, reviewing the statements of
ex-Miniater Young and his advice that we
treat with England to prevent the export
of Chinese laborers from EIongkong,
sensibly comments: "The purpose of
Congress was to exclude Chinese laborers
from any part of the world. The legisla-
ton is not aimed merely at nationality
that is, subjects of China-bnt against the
entire Chinese race Those in Congress,
Justice Field argued, who voted for Mon
golian exclusion, never intended, while
shutting out Chinese from China, to leave
the gates open to the extensive population
of the British possessions of Hongkong
Singapore, Australia, etc" Precisely, and
for that reason is restrictive legislation
needed and not treaty with Great
Britain, which would necessitate conces-
sions on our part to secure an end we can
attain without asking the consent Of the
British Government

THE member from Mexico claims til

The member from Mexico claims that
by the treaty of 1868 he was restored to
American citizenship, as that convention
provides that a return within two years to
this country from the Republic of Mexico,
by former citizens who have secured
citizenship in Mexico, shall secure such
persons recognition in their native coun-
try as citizens. This is disingenuous. The
treaty did not undertake to restore the
person to citizenship in the United States.
1t did not and could not undertake to set
aside the process by which a foreigner may
be naturalized. Even conceding all that
the member from Mexico claims, that he
regained his residence here, he gained only
the right to be naturalized, to have rec
ord made OF the fact OF his return to citi-
zenship Without that there is and can
be no judicial knowledge Of the fact that
Mr. Henley claims to exist. The treaty
referred to cannot create men citizens
that must be done according to the laws
made in conformity with the Constitution.

By State Board.

The people are wa iting anxiously to
know the results of the investigation
of the county treasurers report. There
is a general feeling, that matters in
this office are not wholly right. The
treasurer reports considerable money
on hand, but still has large list Of
orders on file drawing interest, and
yet has no deposits with either the
First National Bank Of this city or the
bank at Marshfeld. The bondsmen
which he secured, and offered to the
board for his new term were not actu-
ally worth, above all risks, So, 900.
It is also stated that he called on our
city treasurer for $1,000 few days
before the board convened. 1t may
be that all his records are correct, and
that nothing wrong has been done, but
it stands the committee in hand to
make very close inspection of his
Office books, vouchers and cash. There
are county orders over two years old
drawing interest for which taxes have
been levied and paid two different
times, but the money has been paid
out for other purposes.

The Jews possess a secret, quiet
power in Europe and America They
are the capitalists and bankers of Eu-
rope, Through the ages trade has
developed in them a speculative sharp
ness and asuccess in bargains. They
were the money changers in the Tenn
pie of Palestine and they are now the
money changers in the temple of
Europe. The Jews possess a strong
power in Russia, Austria and Germany,
the last country has 13 Jews to every
1000 people. In Berlin alone there
are 10000 Jews. In that city they
have one synagogue which cost 2. 250,-
900 marks and seats 5000 people. 1t
is richly ornamented building and
required I years to build it. The
Jew lives well. dresses richly, travels
in first class style, is fairly educated
and assumes quiet undemonstrative
life in society and profession. The
short ftful flush cf Jewish hope for
more national and secular power by
the raising of Benjamin DeIsraeh as
Prime Minister of England passed
away with that remarkable man.
There are shout 6 million Jews in
the world distributed mainly as follows:
Africa 100000; Asia $50, 900; North
America 100000; Russia 1,900,O 900;
Austria 1875. 1000; Germany $50, 900;

Cost of German ugar.

A letter of Messls. Park M~acfadven
& Co. of London, was recently pub
lisled in the Avis in which they gave
their opinion that beet sugar mus re-
allie from Is TO IL ShillingS per w.t..
i'll London to pay the producers.
In The Sugar Cane" for last month
an extract is given from the Produce
Markets Review of january 24th
showing that beet sugar can be pro-
duced al a cost of 9 shillings per cwt.
and a be delivered f. o. b., after
adding the freight and charges and
deducti"g the bounty, ut Is. Cd. with
Out loss.
The Editor of the "Sugar Cane"
states the cost of beet sugar to be
Us. Cd. per cwt. Adding Is. per
cwt. tor cost of freight and charges
to port, the cost is brought to 49,. 6I.
1. o. b. Off this cost comes the boun-
ty, say q. 3D., so that, upon this
basis, German sugars can be delivered
t. Q. b. at lis. per cwt. without loss.
1t must be borne in mind that every
Central Factory on the Continent
that collapses is a direct gain to the
others. and that in all probability
those in the Beet Sugar Industry who
beWa'l most loudly their present po-
sition and declare they are being
, 1885-03-07

ruined, are the very people who fully
interd to hold on and merely hone
by their outcries set forth in the
newspapers &c. to frighten and init
midate their neighbours into giving
up beet sugar growing and manufac-
ture.
The above is not written with any
dIscouraeing views towards the plant
ing interests of ST. Croix, but rather
as sounding an alarm to warn our
Z anters that the old "rulc Of thumb"
incane sugar growingan manufacture
must give way to scientific principles,
and in the hope that tn" present crisis
will induce amongst us greater unity,
a wider toleration, and more concen-
trat!on of action than exists at pre-
sent.

Dear Sir,
1t may be of some interest to see
the name in which our affairs can
he represented to the public in the
Mother Country. and the following
may serve as a sample.
You will remember, and probably
some of your readers too, that the
'bjcct OF the letter from me, which
You were kind enough to insert in the
AUis a couple OF months ago, was, TO
slew, as far as lay in my power, that
there was no cause for our planters to
despair, as The existing low prices Of
sugar arose altogether from over.pro-
ductien of sugar made from beet roots,
pr Icularly in Germany and Austria,
furthermore that beet. root sugar could
not be produced there ut a lower
price than four dollars a cwt., that
the only way by which the price of
sugar could rise to a remunerative
rate, was to reduce considerably the
then existing number of beet root
sugar establishments and The quantity
OF land employed for the raising of
he roots that to this restriction the
producers would be forcibly compelled,
because it was out IF their power to
go on bringing into the market mn ar
ticle to be sold ut half or two thirds
Of its cost; and in this strain the let
ter goes on from beginning to end.
AT the very outset of the letter it
was said ''It is clear, beyond doubt,
that rs yet at least, no other article
than sugar can be produced here IN
sufficient quantity, to procure the neces-
saries Of lite for the population )" and
immediately after it is said II think,
that Il careful survey Of circumstances
as far us they are within our reach,
will shew, that there is no reason to
Gpprehend a continuance Of the pre-
sent distressing position Of the market,
and shall %endeavour in the follow
ing lines TO impress the same encou-
rigging aspect OH the minds of the
readers"
All the figures and calculations
carefully collected and brought into
comparison, all the facts brought for
ward by me, every line of the letter
in fact, bore evidence as plainly as
words can do, of the intention to prove
that a gren, reduction of the manu-
facture of beet root sugar must and
would take place, and to raise the
confidence in The minds of the St.
Croix readers, that the price of our
staple article would at least recover
its former state.
Now what in the world do you
think "Our correspondent" (to the
National Tidende) has made out Of the
affair? This is what he tells:
"Mr. Stakemann (he seems igno-
