TO RAISE SUMATRA HERE.
Planters Forced to Come to This Country
by the Mckinley Bill.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-(Special to THE
GLoBE.)-If Mr.. J. Kaufman of Deli
Sumatra is not mistaken the United
States wil1 be raising its own Sumatra
tobacco before very long.
Il am now on my way south" said he
at the Auditorium, "to look into the sur
roundings there. If the plan proves
feasible plantations for raising Sumatra
tobacco will be established there. have
no doubt that leaf as good for practical
purposes as that raised in the Island Of
Sumatra can be shown in this country.
! 1t may not be quiet so long as the natiue
, leas, but this will make but little differ
ence in its commercial value.
eve have been compelled to take some
action of this Sort" continued Mr.. Kauf-
mann, ''by the Mckinley bill Since its
passage forty of the largest tobacco
plantations in Sumatra have been closed
entailing an aggregate loss to the owners
of $2O,OO0,OOO. In anticipation of the
rise in Sumatra all the big dealers in the
United States laid in a large supply and
the consequence is the market is glutted."
Speaking Of the system under which
the plant is cultivated in Sumatra, Mr.
Kaufman said: "The plantations are
leased from the native Malay chieftains
for a period OF rs years. The MalaYs
still control the interior of the country
which is rich in minerals, but the Malays
prefer to live in their own way and are
hostile to any new enterprise, so that
little or no attempt has been made to
| develop these enterprises. The labor on
the plantations is done by coolies, Is, 600
of whom have been thrown out Of
employment. They are hired for period
of three years. and during that period
the authority of the managers of the
| plantations over them is almost absO-
| Lutte They are furnished with dwellings
and what little clothing they need. They
are also given the tobacco seed and each
assigned piece Of ground. The first
| part of the product is taken TO pay for
the food, clothing, etc, advanced; then
certain proportion of the balance be-
| longs to the coolie The years income
of a coOlie after these necessary expenses
are paid ranges from $50 TO $g0. Some
make as low as So and some are even in
debt at the end of three years service.
These are obliged to remain and work
until this debt is paid. If they attempt
to run away they are arrested by order
of the Dutch governor, brought back
and delivered over to the manager Of the
plantation for punishment. A coOlie
usually gets about 25 lashes for the first
offense and is not able to walk Tor fort
night. 1t really makes little difference
whether a coolie has S. or $50 profit to
show at the end of the year, as it is all
gambled away as soon as he gets it,

RIOOd Will Tell.

OF course it will-that is if it is good,
healthy blood. 1t will glow in the cheek,
and tell the story of perfect physical
health If it does not, if the complexion
is devoid of color, the muscles weak and
tiaccid, something is wrong, and some
thing out to be done about it at once, for
in such cases delays are dangerous. For
torpid liver, "biliousness," and the thou
sand and one ills to which these condi-
tions of the system lead, there is no rem
edy in the world equal to Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Boils, PIN
pies, eruptions, scrofulous sores, salt
rheum, and all kindred diseases are cured
by it.
