The steamship company report that
since the treaty went into effect they have
had to charter three extra steamers be-
sides their regular sailings, aud every ship
has gone out full. The shipments Of ma
ehinery for the manufacture Of sugar
have been greater than ever known be-
fore. The leading provision merchant IN
Havana estimates that whom the treaty
provision as TO reduction of duty sa flour
takes place, Jan. next. the imports from
the United States to Cuba will reach
1,OO0.NO barrels per annum, or more than
double the present total consumption.
The company anticipate that when tbs
treaty is fully In force, they will have TO
increase the number OF their sailings or
largely increase the capacity Of their
ships

WORKS OF pREAlsroRlc MAN.
Some Remarkable Anolsnt seulpturss
Found In Northwestern America

Some Remarkable Andsnt Sculptures
Found in Northwestern America.
James Terry has just published de-
scriptions and photographs OF some of
the most remarkable works Of prehis-
toric man yet discovered on the Amer
lean continent. says Alfred r. Wallace
in Nature. They represent three rude.
yet bold, characteristic, and even life
like sculptures of simiun heads, exe-
cuted In basalt. One of these belongs
to Prof. o. G. Marsh, who referred to
it In the following terms: '.On the
Columbia river found evidence OF the
former existence of inhabitants much
superior to the Indians at present there,
and OF which no tradition remains.
Among many stone carvings which l
saw there were number OF heads
which SO strongly resembled those sof
apes that the likeness ut once suggests
ITSELF Whence came these sculptures
and by whom were they made?" In
fortunately we have no detailed infor-
nation US to the conditions under which
these specimens were found except that
'.they would be classed as surface
finds from the fact that the shifting
sand dunes, which were largely utilized
for burial purposes, are continually
bringing them to the surface This
gives no indication of their antiquity,
but is quite compatible with any age
which their other characteristics may
suggest.
The size OF the heads varies from 8
10 10 inches IN total height. The
three are so different from each other
that they appear to represent three
distinct animals; and, SO far as can
judge, they all differ considerably
from the heads Of any known anthro-
poid apes. In this respect they are
more human; yet the general form OF
the head and face. the low and strong
ly ridged forehead, and the ridges on
the head and cheeks seem to point to q
very low type of anthropoid.
Taking into consideration the enor-
nous antiquity Of the stone mortars
and human remains found in the auri-
ferrous gravels OF California, buried
under the ancient lava streams and
associated with flora and fauna alto
gether different from that Of any part
OF America at the present time, Mr.
Terry's own conclusion appears the
moro probable. 1t is "eithcr that
the animals which these carvings
represent once existed in the Columbii,
valley. or that, in the remote past n
migration OF natives from some region
containing these monkeys reached this
valley, and left one of the vivid i'm
pressions of their former surroundings
In these imperishable sculptures. The
latter alternative appears to me. for
many reasons to be highly improbable;
and though the former will seem to
many persons to be still more improb-
able. l am inclined Professionally to
accept IT.

The Cause of "Overproduction." +"

Every day passed in enforced idleness
by laborer who would gladly be at
work could he find opportunity, means
80 much less in the fund which creates
the effective demand for other labor;
every time wages are screwed down
means so much reduction IN the pur-
chasing power Of the workmen whose
incomes are thus reduced. The pnraly-
sis which ut all tina wastes productive
power, and which in times OF industrial
depression causes more loss than great
war, springs from the difficulty which
those who would gladly satisfy theis
wants by their labor find In doing so.
1t can not come from any natural linita.
ton, SO long as human desires remain
unsatisfed, and nature yet offers TO
man the raw material OF wealth. 1t
must come from social EMBELLISHMENTS
which permit the mopopolizatiou
OF these natural opportunities. and

A Glass Of Gold Water.

In the following manner J. B. Cough
recited the virtues of mans naturnl
beverage: Where is the liquor which
God the eternal brews for all his child
renp Not in the simmering still, over
smoky fires choked with poisonous
gases, and surrounded with the stencil
of sickening odors and rank corrup-
tions, doth your Father In heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life, the
pure cold water. But in the green
glade and CLASSY dell, where the red
deer wanders and the child loves u
play; there God brews it And down.
low down, in the lowest valleys, where
the fountains murmur and the rills
sing; and high upon the tall mountain
tops, where the naked granite glitters
like gold in the sun; where the Storm
cloud broods and the thunder storms
crash and away far out upon the wide
wild sea, where the hurricane howls
music, and the big waves roar: the
chorus sweeping the march OF God;
there he brews it--thnt beverage Of
life and health giving water. And
everywhere it is Il thing OF beauty,
cleaning in the dew drop; singing in
the summer rain; shining in the Ice
gem, till the leaves seem to turn to
living jewels; spreading golden veil
over the setting sun; or white gauze
around the midnight moon.
Sporting in the cataract; sleeping in
the glacier; dancing in the hail-show-
er; folding its bright snow curtains
softly nbout the wintry world; and
waving the many-cOlored iris, that
seraph's zone Of the sky. whose warp
is the rain-drop OF earth, whose wool
is the sunbeam OF heaven; all checker
ed over with celestial flowers by the
mystic hand OF refraction.
Still always it is beautiful. :hat life
giving water; no poison bubbles on lis
brink; its foam brings not madness and
murder; no blood stains its liquid
glass; pale widows and starving

Taxation In New York.

The New York Times in an editorial
on the various tax bills introduced in
the present legislature, says:
The most sensible bill that has been
introduced is that presented in the as.
sembly by Mr.. Stein, "by request" pro
posing kind of local option as to the
assessment of property for taxation. II
provides that assessors shall state in
separate columns the value of land exclu'
sive of improvements and the value OF
land with improvements, and gives coun.
ty authorities the right to levy all taxes
| upon land alone; upon land with the i'm.
provements thereon, that is, upon real
estate; upon personal property alone,
| or upon the assessed value Of land, i'm.
| provements and personal property. Due
provision being made for the equitable
contribution of each county to the reve.
! nues of the state. there are many rea.
sons why the control of assessment and
taxation might be left to the local au'
thorities. The conditions differ widely
in different counties, and the difference
is especially great between the great
commercial towns and the rural com
munities A method of assessment
which is entirely practicable in one may
be very badly adapted to the other. In
this city the amount raised for local
purposes is about seven times us great
| as that raised for state purposes. Pro
vided the city contributes its just share
to the state treasury, there is no reason
why it should not be permitted TO raise
own expenses in the way best adapted

Is All Property a Trust7

In Il sermon on Socialism" delivered
by Rev. Lyman Abbott to u wealthy
Boston congregation on Sunday. Feb
ruary 15 the pastor of Plymouth church
said:
"Another great proof is that property
is trust. Henry George himself is not
radical enough to suit me. He says
there should be no private property in
land. ! say there should bo no private
property at all. And yet l am not
n socialist, not even Christian so
cialist. My doctrine is easy to under.
stand"
Dr. Abbott is right in saying that
Henry George is not radical enough to
accept such doctrine, though we think
he misuses the word radical in this con-
nection. A radical, properly speaking,
is one who goes to the roots of things,
and Henry George does go to the root of
the existing inequality in the distribu-
ton of the products of labor when he
declares that the source Of the evil ia
the power given by law to n few to
exact from the many payment for the
privilege of access to the opportunities,
through which alone wealth can be Gre
ated.
The equal rights Of all men to the use
Of land being once recognized, Mr..
George claims that the producer has n
right to the thing that he has produced
out OF natural materials, to which he
has rightful access. Mr.. George, how.
ever, is political economist, while DIR.
Abbott, in declaring that there should
be no private property at all, speaks, we
suppose, III u preacher who claims that
God not merely gives TO the people the
earth they inhabit, but the powers tina,
enable them TO labor, and that they
hold their natural powers, natural op
portunities, and the products Of both as
trust from their Creator. This is ,
doctrine that appeals to the individua
conscience, and it can not in the nature
of things, be enforced by law. T'her,
is, therefore, no necessity for any con
troversy between single tax men, who
are seeking to rewrite the laws of th'
land concerning property, and DR.. Alb
bott, who is inculcating what he be
lieves to be the lesson Of duty to mel

viii Taxing Coal Lands Increase the
Price of Coal2

The Age of Steel. published at st.
Louis says that the decision OF the Hi.
nois supreme court declaring that coal
beneath the surface in that stnte is lia-
BILE to taxation, will relieve the burden
of taxation on Illinois farmers, but that
"a large proportion of the tax will, OF
course, come out of the manufacturing
interests of st. Louis, Chicago. Joliet
and other industrial centers using Hi.
nois coal" How does the Age of Steel
figure that out? Are the coal miners
of Illinois not now charging these man
ufacturing centers all that they can get?
Would they not charge more now If
they would not thereby drive their pres
ent customers to other sources OF sup
ply? How are they, then, going to OBJ
tain more from the manufacturers be-
cause they must henceforth pay taxes
on their coal lands?
We will venture u prediction for the
benefit of our St Louis contemporary.
II the tax imposed on coal lands in
Illinois has any traceable effect on the
price of coal, it will cause the price to
fall rather than TO rise. At present
there is great extent of coal land un-
worked in Illinois. The ability to hold
it out of use enables mine owners to
limit the supply of coal, to some extent
The tendency of a tax on such land is to
make it less profitable to hold 1t out OF
use. The higher the tax goes, the
greater this tendency. The owners
will, therefore, have an inducement to
work mines at least enough to enable
them to obtain sufficient coal to pay
the taxes. This will put more coal on
the market and tend toward lowering
the price. Let the Age Of Steel watch
the market and see If it is not mistaken
in supposing that taxing coal lands will
increase the price of coal.

Or course there are some forms Of

and appraised by the assessors, almost
as readily as real estate. though not
with SO correct an estimate Of value.
The objection to taxation Of chattels is
not that none Of them can be taxed; 1t
is that SO many Of them can be and are
reached, while SO many are not, that
the tax is necessarily unequal and un-
just. The Important question, there
fore, is, upon what class does this tax
bear most oppressively? II taxes were
levied only upon land values, or upon
the values Of land and buildings, would
the smaller property owners, and espe-
'cially the farmers, pay more or less OF
