PRoF. w. A. Henry, of the Wisconsin
State Agricultural station, has been for
some time experimenting with beet
sugar, under the direction of Secretary
Rusk. The following are the results of
his Investigations as published III re-
cent bulletin: SIX varieties of sugar
beets grown at this station contained
l4.sl to 26.76 per cent. OF sugar in the
juice; the coefficicnt Of purity ranged
from S2.2 TO s7.3 per cent. About half
an acre of each variety was grown and
the yield of washed beets varied with
the varieties from is to 20 tons per acre.
The estimated yield of sugar varied
from two to three and q half tons per
acre. In a well managed factory about
go per cent. of this quantity would be
recovered as pure granulated sugar.
Careful account of work done in plant.
ing and cultivatIng the beets showed
that it cost from 81 cents to Sl.3S to
grow ton of beets. This does not IN
clude the cost of harvesting and deliv.
cry, which may be considered as about
equal to that of growing the crop.

Steady, boys; Nteadyi

Foreign advances confirming the gen
shortage of crops abroad, added TO
strong speculative movement IN London
and throughout this country, have
whirled wheat up from so cents to 81
49, per bushel within a few weeks, and
the advance during the last week was 22
cents.
The greatest grain gamble of the age
has developed within the past few days,
and there is now grave peril that between
speculative gamblers and orders to farm
ers to '-hold your wheat, the goose
that promises such golden eggs may be
paralyzed or strangled.
Let it not be forgotten thatwh there
is an unusual demand for our large sur
plus grain abroad, there are vast garners
of grain in India which will be suddenly
emptied upon Europe if the price shall
| be inflated to invite Indian competition.
That competition once begun, 1t won
stop until the market is broken.
We should increase our grain exports
this year nearly or quite 800, 600, 600,
and at good prices if we shall be content
| with large gains instead of seeking larger
but if we advance grain by desperate
| gambling and deluded farmers who obey
orders to "hold your wheat" the foreign
market will be largely divided and ouI
grain exports will be greatly reduced IL
both volume and value. Steady, boys
steady. The farmers of this conutry
| now have assured to them the larges
foreign demand and the best prices O

EVERY day makes it more apparent
says the Philadeldhia Herald that Demo-
cratic chances in Ohio are going to be
largely increased by Republican dissen-
sions. Ever since Foraker jumped to
the front and attempted like NJ. 5. Quay
in this state to become the party dicta-
tor there has been a constant murmur of
discomfort from the friends of John
Sherman. The latter has in several in
terviews pretended to ignore the gener-
ally-expressed belief that Foraker intends
if possible to succeed him in the U. S.
Senate, but behind his apparently hope
full talk is seen a keen appreciation of
the danger of the situation. The COM
ing election in Ohio, beside deciding the
Governorship, will also choose the legis-
lature that will name Sherman's sue
cessor. Already nearly all the legislative
candidates have been sounded, and have
been chosen either as Foraker or Sher-
man men. With the former in control
of the party machinery the Ex-Governor
will be credited in case Mckinley wins
with having redeemed the state from
Democratic rule. This, in the event of
the election also of a Republican legisla-
ture, would enable him to carry off the
Senatorial prize.
Notwithstanding Sherman is giving
active support to the ticket many of his
warmest friends, foreseeing that a Re-
publican triumph under Foraker's leader
ship means the defeat of their favorite,
are already giving out ominous mutter-
ings and showing a spirit of revolt.
They foresee that Sherman's retirement
at this time means his political death. I'm
der Foraker there will be new deal. But
should Mckinley be defeated and For
aker's plans upset, it will be to Sherman
that the Ohio Republicans will have to
turn if they expect to engage in sue
cessful battle in the future.

PORT AU PRINCE, August 1S.-Eighty
lives were lost by the collapse of bridge
here, instead of thirty, as first reported.
The disaster occurred last Friday Re
cent storms had swollen the mountain
streams and in consequence the river St.
Mark overfiowed its banks. A large
number of persons were assembled on
the stone bridge over the river, watching
the raging torrent, when the foundations
became undermined by the action of the
water and the structure tumbled into the
river, carrying many people with it.
The fortunate ones managed to reach
the bank after hard struggle, but all of
the others, some eighty in number, were
swept along, and their bodies were car
ried out to sea.

ImpOr rts OF Iron Ore.

While sugar is imported from Cuba
free of duty, Pennsylvania steel manu-
facturers owning iron mines In Cuba are
obliged to pay duty of 20 cents ton
upon their ore imported from that island.
The imports of iron ore last year, prin-
cipally to the port of Philadelphia,
amounted to 955, ,517 tons, upon which
manufacturers of Pennsylvania were
compelled to pay tax of SIG, ,637. If
this tax upon the raw material of steel
manufacture should be repealed Its i'm
ports and the amount of steel produc-
ton would be increased, a foreign market
would be opened for the surplus, and
better wages and more constant employ
ment would be assured TO Pennsylvania
workingmen.
The tax upon the Bessemer ore which
Pennsylvania manufacturers are obliged
to import is barbarous penalty upon
Pennsylvania enterprise and industry.
Yet tax which restricts the supply and
generally enhances the cost of the inn
portant raw material of steel production
is maintained with the connivance and
consent of Pennsylvania manufacturers
and workingmen- When viii there be
an end of this folly and madness of Pro
lection? PhiLa. Record.

EisoA the mass of figures which has
been collected to show the huge deficit
in the grain crop of Europe, says the
n. Y. World, one fact stands out IN APP
palling promincnce-the existence OF
state of famine in Russia.
Already there are reports of peasnts
eking out existence on grass boiled IN
water, of people dying of hunger IN the
streets of the overcrowded towns and of
parents irving to sell their children to
save them from starvation. The re-
serves of grain in the country have been
used up and the harvest which Is beng
gathered is less than half a crop. Wheat
is 100. 600 900 of bushels short, and rye,
the staple food of the peaSantry, Is snort,
at least 800, 900, 900 bushels. Instead,
therefore, of being able to export 80, OOO-
900 bushels of wheat and 60,OOO,e 600
bushels of rye, as is the case IN ordlna-
ry years, Russia must import $50, 600,
600 bushels of grain to feed her own
people.
But there is no evidence that Russia
can do anything of the kind. Accord
ing to Stepniak, letter from whom Is
published in Free Russia, the relief fund
of the Empire, held against such eme r
gencies, has been reduced to II, ,OOO, 900
roubles, not a twentieth of the sum
needed to cope with the present dis
tress.
The credit of the Russian Government
has never been so poor as 1t Is to day,
and the destitution of the peasants, who
pay S5 per cent. of all the taxes, means
a loss to the National Treasury of prob
ably half its ordinary income. There
have been five partial famines in Russia
in the last eight years, but for parallel
to the one now threatened it is necessary
to go back to 1910
A disaster of such magnitude is calcu-
lated to command the sympathy and aid
of the civilized world, whatever may be
the verdict on the errors of policy and
administration which tend to make it
worse.
