were the United States dealing directly with
Cupa In this matter we should say that the
onance OF the rejection of our oyertures
was SO small as to render 1t perfectly safe to
allow her action to fix the price of sugar to
american consumers. Doubtless it would
pe great advantage to Cubans to be per
United to get -four from the United States
Tree OF tax. 1t would greatly cheaper it to
them. and hence they could be relied upon to
favor any reciprocal arrangement which
would tend to that end, especially If at the
same time 1t tended to increase the demand
for their products. But we are not dealing
with Cuba. but with Spain, and Spain has
not been In the habit of consulting to any
great extent the interests of her Caribbean
dependency; Cuba has been priced by her
chiefly as source of revenue. The removal
OF the tariff from American products will
Inevitably greatly reduce that revenue, and
at the same time deprive Spain of yalua-
BILE market for her surplus products. This
being the case, is Spain likely to look
with favor upon proposition to admit
our products free for the sake of giving to
Cuban sugar free admission to our markets?
Probably the friends of the Aldrich amend
ment believe that she will else they would
not have expoused the proposition. But on
what they base their belief has not been
made known to the public. Last spring Mr.
Blaine expressed before the ways and means
committee grave doubt IL Spain would enter
into any such arrangement. Perhaps
assurances have since been received which
make it tolerably certain that she will meet
us half way. If that is not the case. 1t seems
to us the amendment puts in great jeopardy
the realization of the public demand for

IL is obvious enough that If Spain will nav
tne United States for allowing Cuban sugar
TO come In free by permitting American fiour
to 60 into Cuba free it will not be- wise
ior our government to reject the compensa-
ZION. But 1t is not quite SO obvious that If
Spain will not pay it will be wise for the
United States to impose duty on Cuban
sugar. But this is what the Aldrich amend.

Now supposing sugar is placed on the free
list, as 1t will probably be If the tariff hill
passes. and six months hence the Presi-
dent becomes satisfied that Spain will not
grant us In the island of Cuba privileges
that he deems equivalent to the privilege
granted Cuban sugar. 1t then becomes the
duty Of the President to reimpose the pres

economists that the tariff on sugar is tax

Away out west the Democratic papers are
proving conclusively-to their readers-that
the result Of the late election in the first con-
gressi0nal district of Maine was due to the
packing of the Kittery navy yard-it is al
ways the Kittery navy yard when there is an
election In Maine, and the Portsmouth navy
yard when there is hn election in New
Hampshire-with "Tom Reeds heelers. Just
how the employment on the navy yard of

difficult to understand by people here, but 1t
seems to answer very well for the wild and

can do such an excellent piece of work as is
alleged, we hope to hear no more twaddle
about this yard being an unimportant one.

One OF the speakers at a recent labor meet
Ing In Auburn, where they working as hard
as they know how to consolidate the boot
and shoe workers into the international
union, according to report, drew this allur-
Ing picture Of the good time coming for
shoemakers. He said:
The shoemaker,s walking delegate should come
70 auburn and take his carriage and drive to the
DesI motel, take parlor and send his card TO the
various manufacturers to tell them he was in
LEVIN and II they wanted anything to come and see
nlm AZ MS MOTEL. Then the manufacturer would
1flve down TO the hotel ana SEND bis card up TO
the waking delegate, and ON being received
would ask him "What Is The quotation on lasting
now MIR Delegate?" What are You paving for
stltching" and when be got the deleeate's fig.
nres ne would go 10 his shop and make out the
SSs OF prices accordingly and post tup in
n ~, snop ana say There, boys, there's your pay
This makes very pretty picture from the
delegates point Of view; but how many
shoemakers are there who can afford to pay
their walking delegates for their carriages
and their hotel parlors, for the privilege of
being listed and quoted like SO many barrels
OK fioul or bushels OF wheat?

The Opium Harvest in China.

Mr.. HoSie. the British Consul ut
WenChOw. in his last report, contrast
| ing the methods of harvesting the pop
by prevailing in Western and Eastern
China, SAYS that if the cultivatOrS OF
the poppy in the East We're as skilled in
the art of collecting the juice as their
couutrymen in Western China, it is all
but certain that the foreign import
would be very small indeed.
In Western China the capsules are
racrihced by means of a parallel row of
knife points projecting from one of the
ends of a short wooden handle. The in
ciSiOnS, which are exceedingly fine, are
made in the evening. and the juice, eX-
uding slowly, is harvested in the morn
ing before sunrise. There is no waste.
In the eastern provinces, on the other
hand. an instrument resembling small
carpcnterS'S plane IS employed. The
operator passes the plane over the cap
snle. leaving the ShavingS of the skin
attached 10 its lower end. The juice
Immediately cNudcS from the capsule, and
although the collector follows closely on
the heels Of the operator, 1t flows so fast
that much of il drops on the leaves or
stem and is lost. As an example of the
manaer in which native, rs compared
with Indian. opium is consumed in his
district. Mr.. HOsie mentions that 4
refuge for the cure of opium smokers
was opened by missionary in
the city Of WcnchOw during the past
year, and that out Of many scores of APP
plicantS for admission. only one smoker
OF Indian opium presented himself, and
he has aScertained from parties well
qualified To Judge that more than five
per cent. Of smokers consume the for
