EDITORIAL NOTES.

A millionaire tobacco planter OF Sumatra,
now visiting Chicago. makes some remarkable
disclosures regarding the effect Of the last tariff
adopted by this country on the business OF that
Far Eastern land. He asserts that since the
Mckinley bill was passed the planters OF
Shlnatra nave lost millions because they can
mol afford TO send the leaf TO the United States
uHder The new Tariff law. The only way the
planters can benefit themselves I'm order 10 get
even Is 10 come TO this country aud start an in.
dustry here. I'VE knew tie leaf could be culti-
Vrted here BEFORE" said he, "but we did not
nave 10 come to this side of the water, as, with
otr eoole labor, we could afford to ship 1t to
America But the Mckinley bill killed the in
dustfy Tor US and now we must start Sumatra-
leaf plantations here, and we will have TO have
American labor to do our work as we are not
permitted to import coolies" who are considered
by planters the cheapest workers In the world.
A Washington dispatch states regard ing the
Chinese head-tax operations OF our northern

from Canada OF the Inhibited Chinese and thai
large fortunes have been accumulated in this
Illicit business" This only confirms the oft.re-
peated declarations of The CALL. II 1t were
not for this illicit business" the earnings of
the subsidized line OF steamers sailing between
China and British Columbia would be very mate
rally reduced.

cording to a census bulletin just issued, had an

It is feared That the intense heat Of last
