The decrease in the price of plate glass
under protection has all along bothered
the tree trader. The subJoined news item

to bring the steel TO the rolls with drip

thus indent the rolls. 1t is also necessary
to scrape the bottom of the iugot or slab

Americans have left us far behind in the
iron and steel mills
That is, competition begets invention
and economy of labor in production
If experience repeated over end over
again IN scores of industries counts for
anything, we can confidently look for
similar results in the new indus
tries now starting under the Mckinley
tariff.

else protection may accomplish it will al
ways prevent us from exporting manu-

American Cobdenism is being ground to
powder under our present tariff law.
For the first nine months of the present
year our exports of manufactures amount

all lnes--than any otner country. The
world is finding this cut and comes Tor

our own SUGAR
Suggestions as to How THIS Country Can
Nearly supply Itself

A snort time ago, Mr. +, H. Dyer, of
California, gave The press some interest
ing facts concerning the production Of
sugar in this country that are well worth
a careful. study. He says
To produce the amount Of sugar COZ
sumed in the United States from beets. it
would require 100000 tons Of beets,
for which the farmer would require SIS
600 000 being one-half of the total value
OF all the sugar consumed. The Great
benefit that will accrue to the farmer is,
OF course, based upon the supposition that
he received a fair compensation for raising
beets, and / think that can muly
demonstrate that the price paid for beets
now in this state by sugar beet factories
will yield the farmer better rent for his
land, and larger returns for labor eXuond-
ed, than any other crop, taking into cor
sideration the fluctuations of TIE market
value Of other crops The cost of produc-
INC beets in California is about as follows:
Assuming an average Weld 10 be only Is
tons peracre, at s. per ton-675 Cost Of
preparing the land and seeding. 81 per
acre; seed per acre, 81 25 Thinning,
wedding and digging az Sl75 per tom
S?625; hauling 10 factory AT 20 GEMS,
Sl0.50 Total cost per acre, S46; net profit,
500 per acre.
To show the comparative value of a crop
OF beets or cereals we will estimate the
yield of one acre of wheat to be Is centals
at Sl75 per Genital S26 %; au acre Of
barley, 20 Ceutals at,Sl Is per cental-325.
The product of an acre If beets. in sugar,
is about 5000 pounds, which including
non 4,au,4s ont &. u.
pound-S2lO This shows a difference in
favor Of beet crop Of about $3.50 per acre.
A 300-ton factory would require 5000
acres Of land planted to beets to produce a
seasons supply, The value of the pro-
duct of this land planted to beets and
manufactured into sugar, would be about
$3.50 600 annually more than If used il
the production Of cereals. IF sufficient
beets were raised in the United Stmes 10
produce the amounts Of sugar that is
annually imported, the value Of the sugar
produced from these beets would be $3.50
100000 more that cereals produced on the
same quantity Of land.
According to the latest United States
statistical report, there were over 2, 800,
100000 pounds of sugar imported daring
the fiscal year Of 1890. which when refined
was worth over 500 900 600. To produce
this from sugar beets would require about
/ 600 600 acres of land and about 300 beet
factories of a daily capacity Of $50 tons
each, costing about sos 0g00JO for the
purchase Of beets and cost Of maBufac,ur-
ing them into sugar This large amount
of money would oe distributed annually
among our industrial classes instead OF be-
ing as now seHt 10 foreign countries to pay
for foreign sugar and enrich foreign sugar
planters. In conclusion desire TO say
that in nay opinion there is no developed
INDUSTRY l. the United States that promises
8s great benefits to every man, woman
aud child as the production Of sufficient
sugar to supply our wants from our own
s0N.

AS GOOD AS EVER.
Ear Which Was Bitten or Restored

An Ear Which Was Bitten OF Restored
by Surgical Skill.
Charles SlaVick.a candlestick-maker, aged
SO, of 1875 First avenue. is employed at 80
South street, says the New York Recorder.
Almost his entire left ear was bitten off by a
feIlow-workman during a fight. Only
stump remained.
Slavick refused to make complaint to the
police, but went to Gouverneur Hospital for
medical attendance. The day was cold and
the raw atmosphere CONCEALED the blood
around the wound before the hospital was
reached.
Where is the ?" asked DR.. Donohue
after he had examined the stump.
| guess IL is over there in the factory"
replied SlaYick.
We'll, get itquick," exclaimed the doctor
Maybe can put it ON again."
Slavck left IS soon as the bandages were
on his ear. In ten minutes he came back
with 1t. The wound was washed with
warm solution. Then the ear was thor
oughly thawed out. After this il was put
into another solution and heated to pitch
OF 9So. The stump and ear were trimmed to
ut. Ihe ear was then covered with oiled
silk in order to prevent loss of temperature.
With twelve stitches Of silk the ear was
sutured to the stump. Warm dressings
were applied at intervals during operation
and Immediately after it.
DR.. DonOhue then put his patient to bed
in warm room and gave him constant at
tention. In order to keep the dressing warm
it was necessary to keep a number of oil
skin sacks constantly on hand filed with
water heated to 980 This was to induce
circulation. These applications must be
kept up without intermission until the union
is complete. The bandages were changed
daily. A slight jerk during this operation
would dislocate the little tissues which are
believed to be uniting. The greatest of care
was required in changing bandages, as
nothing could be done to brace the fiabby
protrusion.
The first day the ear remained colorless.
Gradually, however, 1t began to assume a
pink hue, and on Saturday Slavick com.
planned Of a throbbing in the parts which
panied him. This was most encouraging
sign. The ear continued to pain him during
the day, but DIR. Donohue did not deem iG
safe to examine the wound. The same day
the patient took a notion to go home. He Is
a strong, brawny laborIng man, and his
cramped position became too tiresome for
him. His appetite was good, and he felt
first rate.
In ssr,.su OF all remonstrances he got up
from his cot and left for home, promising to
continue the hot applications. BE returned
