SHALL WE HAVE GERMAN suGARq

Germany is now looking out for conces-
sions 10 enable her 10 push her sugar in this
country. She undoubtedly contemplates
vigorous campaign in this direction, and
hopes TO be even more successful here than
IN England, where in a few years after she
began producing sugar she crowded Cuba
out Of the market and divided the trade the
French were having in that commodity with
Great Britain. She did this 10y a most
liberal system Of bouuties and drawbacks
to her own sugar-growers, which enabled
them TO sell their product cheaper in Eng
land than their competitors. There was and
is no reason why Germany should lead in
European sugar production. Not her peo-
pie but the French discovered and developed
the process Of making sugar from beets.
She only took it up less than q score OF years
ago. The amount Of soil she has available
- fs'NA elt'htAAE AAASA ANAto1sAAltg BE hElI
limited, for her entire area is less than the
combined extent of Ohio, Indiana, Ilinois,
Kentucky, and Michigan. Yet inside Of 20
years she has developed sugar production
that brings her agricallurists millions OF
dollars a year. 1t has become one Of the
great farming staples of the Empire, employ
ing thousands of men, at increased wages,
and bringing into the country millions Of
dollars where that sum formerly went out
to Cuba and France. The farmers have gone
into tie business SO thoroughly that they
now group together and work up their own
beets into sugar, thus making a double
prollt-as growers and as manufacturers
Germany has long looked to this county
with coyetOus eyes. We are the greatest
sugar-eaters in the world. If she can get
control Of our market it viii give her an
annual sale Of from S50,OOO.OOO 10 100000
600 year-that much money taken from
our farmers and distributed among hers.
1t viii be a gross scandal on our bUasied
progressiyoness aud enterprise II wc permit
this. We can and should raise every pound
OF our own sugar. If Gernany can do what
she has done on little territory Of oil 600
square miles, we certainly can DO it on a
territory Of more than 5000 900 square miles
fully Is times as great The Only require
ment is FOR the Government to give as stead
fast, as liberal, and as intelligent encourage
mont 10 our farmers as Germany has 20 hers.
1t will be a great mistake TO open wide our
gates 10 German sugar-growers 10 the ruin
Of our own. Our first duty is TO our own
farmers, as Germany has recognized that her
first duty is TO hers. We can best make
money more plentiful in this country by
keeping our millions at home TO buy our own
products instead of sending them abroad e
buy other peoples.

TILE LOGAN MONUMENT.

Comrades, wake up on the Logan Monu-
ment! Go to work for ihis testimonial TO
our illustrious deceased comrade in the same
earnest spirit that ne worked for you. The
monument will not merely be a memorial of
him who 50 well deserved it, but it viii be
still more a memorial TO the Grand Army Of
the Republic and the volunteer soldiers Of
America. In hOnoring him you will he
honoring yourselves and your comrades. He
was the greatest volunteer soldier of the
war, and he will be remembered in all his
tory as the highest type of the volunteers
who rallied to the defense Of the Nation,
and saved it by almost incredible fighting
and suffering He was a grand soldier and
a grand man in every sense Of the word, and
too much honor cannot be given him.
Every comrade aud every Post should he
anxious TO be represented in this testimonial
TO him, which will stand forever in the Capt.
tai rs a perpetual reminder of the valor,
constancy, and loyalty Of the citizen-sol-
diery Of America. The work Of preparing
for the monument is in the hands of n most
competent committee, which is pushing it
forward. It is earnestly desired, for the
honor Of the Grand Army, that the testi-
monial shall be a work entirely worthy Of
our grand Order and IFS dead chieftain. Let
every comrade and every Post give some
thing, that he or it may have a share in the
mcri;orious work. Let this gift be at once
that there may be no delay in carrying the
work out, and dat the committee may know
the amount it viii have AT its disposal. Send
contributions 10 TIE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
Washington, D. C., and they will be aclsnowl-
edged through It's columns.

PUsH THE CANCELLATIONS

Comrades, push the circulation of THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, as the most effective
way of counieracting the effect Of the SOL
dier-haters' lies 1t sets forth the truth and
exposes their nendacity. 1t is an indefati-
gable champion, always on the alert, always
ready, and bristling with facts and figures TO
cOnlOund the enemy. The larger It's circula-
tion the stronger the veteran 8 cause, because
it is only necessary for anyone TO read il TO
become convinced Of the rightfulness Of the
veterans cause.
Get up clubs for il everywhere Let it be
in as many hands as possible 81 times a year
telling the plain, truthful story Of those who
fought and died that the Nation might live.
II is easy TO get mp clubs. The paper is
its own recommendation. There ATE num-
bers in every community who want it, and
will take it If they are only asked.
BE sure AID ask them.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

There are strong manifestations Of The
growth Of the annexation feeling in Canada
Public meetings fayoring political union with
the United States are becoming quite fire.
quent and destined to be still more common.
The advantages Of annexation to this coun-
try will become daily more undcniablc, even
by the most ftuatical Tories. We can afford
TO wait quietly and watch the feeling ripen
without lifting finger to aid it. In fact,
that will be the best policy if we desire the
Dominion to come in. Any attempt that
we should make to strengthen the Annex
ationists would be pretty sure to arouse dis
Canadians to come in until their sentiment
is overwhelmingly favorable. They have
some institutions which must be changed
before we can admit the Provinces rs
States. They must be entirely willing to
remodel their political forms until they
are as truly republican as the present
Governments Of our States There must
be an entire divorce of Church aud State,
and an abolition of many snrvivals OF
feudalism and aristOcracy which still exist
in Canada, before We can consent 10 receive
her. 1t is therefore unlikely that, unless
some great commission occurs, annexation
will come for a quarter Of a century.

two years will be needed for the completion
of the marble statue. IL il determined to

moneys already collected are ample, and
there will be no further calls upon comrades

THE report of the British Board Of Trade
for August gives some facts which are very
conclusive as to the development of tin
making in the United States. The report
says that the United States only took one
fifth as much English tin plate during the
month as we did during the same month of
the previous year. In exact figures the
amount fell from Ei15,OOO to E75,OOO. That
is, during that month we paid to our own
workingmen and manufacturers, for distri-

Episcopal Clergy.

At congress of Episcopal cler-
gymen held i'm Washington City,
the "sociaI problem" was one OF the
topics discussed. 1t is worthy OF
remark, considering the conserva-
tism of tile Episcopal church, that
socialism was strongly endorsed by
number of leading clergymen-
The Rev. Mr. Bartlett declared
THAT given christianity, democracy
was sure to VIM after democ-
racy, socialism was sure to come"
1--WE were already well along to-
ward socialism,; the movement could
not be stopped, and should not be
feared" lie quoted William Yer
non Harcourt, the great English
parliamentarian, who said, 1--WE are
all socialists now" The Rev. F.
W. Sprague said that ''the princl-
pies Of socialism were the ideals OF
christianity" and "that opposition to
socialism arose from misconcep-
of it's principles" The Rev. j. ..
Huntington spoke of the discomfort
of the masses, and said sit was now
an intellectual discomfort, and was
moving toward socialism" 1t is
observed that the socialism OF the
above-named gentlemen is founded
upon the principle laid down by the
"Great Teacher that all men are
brothers, and that men are to love
others as we'll as themselves. "Fol
to love one another is the fulfilling
of the law"

intellectual advancement. Farmers,
more than city population, need the
school house meeting, in which to
cultivate the social qualities OF the
human family. There is no doubt
but that isolation, or the absence OF
contact with our fellows, has led to
much imposition. Farmers have
been unsuspicious and credulous.
Imposition will continue to be
practiced until farmers acquire the
necessary wisdom to know their
rights, and, knowing, defend them
to the utmost. 1t is worse than
folly for the "Bro. Rabbit" to trust
the "Bro. Fox" With knowledge
comes self-refiance. The want OF
leadership is source of weakness
Farmers must supply their own
leaders. The "Bro. Fox" leaders
must be retired to their filthy holes
if "Bro. Rabbit is not to be made
meal of. Let the members OF
every sub-AIliance in the county
improve the long winter evenings
in study. Have frequent meetings
for discussion Of the questions OF
the day. 1t is only through high
er intellectual advancement that
"Bro. Rabbit" can meet the cum
ming of "Bro. Fox"
