sugar it needs for its own cousump
ton. The beet sugar industry has
reached that point where, if the pre-
sent law were left alone, several re-
fneries would soon be added TO those
already in operation. But the action
of the house, if carried through into a
law, will stop all this, and the rails
ing of beets which has promised to
become an important factor in
diversified farming will be swept
ruthlessly TO one side.
The free trade organs effect to be-
lieye that the action of the house
will knock out the sugar trust. The
strength exhibited by several of the
most important trusts in this coun-
try which deal in articles that are on
the free list, does not give any salts
factory assurance in this line, and the
sugar trust will doubtless survive any
action Democracy may take in the
way of free trade legislation. .r

STREET PAVING.

The city engineer of MINNEAPOLIS,
Mr.. Cappelen, has submitted his an
nual report, including some valuable
information regarding street paving
Ihls is of Importance to our people,
as the paving question is being more
or less agitated in this city. He says:
AT present Minneapolis mas 7l3 miles
OF CEDAR Dlock paving, all on planks;
4-9 miles or asphalt; 9 40 miles of
granite pavement, on sand founda-
zion, ana Two miles of macadam. The
Total miles OF graded SUreJtS are 300,
and the total miles Of streets In the
city are $40. AS you are we'll aware.
Ghe price or cedar paving as put down
al present is only 50 cents per SQUARE
yard, but l would recommend in the
future cedar paving be put down on
concrete foundation, with joints tar
red. The price would be 81 40 TO Sl.5O."
Speaking Of granite blocks, Mr..
Cappelen says: Ia several cities
granite blocks are laid upon con-
crete foundations. The experience in
Minneapolis With granite blocks laid
upon sandy soil has proven, however,
that IL is unnecessary 10 60 to the eX-
ira expense OF providing concrete
foundation in this city. BY specify
ing that the blocks shall be from three
TO four inches wide ana the wearing
surface practically smOOthe, the cost
OF the pavement woulj probably not
be Increased by more than 30 cents,
making total price per square yard
of Sl.SS. For future WORK | would
recommend that these changes refer
red TO be made"
Mr.. Cappelen thinks that Ohio paw
ing brick is the best in The market,
with Illinois brick a close second. The
distance, however. will prevent brick
from either state being used in this
city. This is not serious matter,
since the engineer says that proper
clay for paving he's been found near
Minneapolis. Samples of Coon creek
clay have been sent TO ONO and
burned With excellent results. Clay
from M )ntlcellO mas also been sent on
for burning and favorable result is
expected. The chemical analysis
give the Coon creek clay snowS,a Slight
advantage over the clay used at Co
iumbus, o., and Galesburg, lii.
TO build a proper brick making
plant, that can turn out 1000 brick
per day." continues the report, will
require at least $lO0,000 and l am in
formed that steps are being taken to
establish such plant in case the pro-
jectors of the enterprise convince
themselves that brick pavementS will
be introduced in Minneapolis"
The report estimates that the Hall
wood size of brick, requiring 45 to the
square yard, will cost 80 in Mime
apolis, made from Coon creek clay;
and the Gales0urg size, 70 to the
square yard, 81 80 in this city. The
former size is preferred by reason of
the beveling and fewer exposed edges.
The following interesting table
makes part of the report, and shows
the relative cost of different pave
ments for term Of 20 years, on a
street with traffic like Nicollet
aVpnun.

*Kept in repair for 10 years, after
which add cents per yard per year.
ASPH ALT LEADS.
From this able it will be seen that
as far as cost is concerned, the pave
mentS stand in this order: Granite,
cedar, brick Except Ohio, asphalt.
As to resistance to traction, the pave
mentS stand in this order, whether
new or old: Asphalt. brick, cedar,
granite. In the matter of sanitation
and beauty. asphalt leads, followed by
brick and granite, with cedar last.
With reference TO least noise, cedar
leads, followed in order by asphalt,
brick and granite. When pavements
are all new, the most pleasant to drive
over is cedar, with asphalt second,
brick third and granite fourth; but
after five years asphalt would lead,
with brick second, cedar third and
granite last. The easiest pavement
on vehicles is asphalt, and next in
order comes cedar, brick and granite
The easiest on horses is cedar, with
brick, asphalt and granite following.
Statistics show that the horse Slips
more on granite than on asphalt.
M. Cappelen still favOrs gravel,
such as has been used with so much
success in the Eighth ward. He does
not favor macadam and is afraid that
Kettle river sandstone, block Of
which it is proposed to lay next spring
as an experiment, will prove soft and
rather eXpenSiYe.

THE SUGAR DUTY.

In voting to put sugar on the free
list and cutting off the bounty direct
ly, the Democrats have struck an
other blow at what is growing to be
an important industry in this coun-
try, and along with a good many
other things they will have consider
able trouble in explaining to the far
mer why they are so persistent in
discriminating against his interests.
Under the provisions of the Mckinley
law the beet sugar industry is fast he
coming an important one. The west
and the northwest are peculiarly
adapted to the culture of beets rich
in sugar qualities, and there is no rea-
son why the United States should not
within a few years produce all the

The ReUieao has been brought to it's
knees in an apology for it's action TO-
ward Mr.. Patterson and right humbly
does it plead for forgiveness from that
gentleman. The editor gets down Oh
all fours for having permitted COM
munlcatiOn in the columns Of his
paper signed Pat" which was clear
ly intended by its author and wei
known by the ReUieoo editor to reflect
upon Mr. Patterson, when In fact that
gentleman was entirely innocent of
the disaster which befell the old gas
company: had no interest in the plant
whatever at the time, and knew
nothing about its management or con-
dition. The Reuieao editor being call
ed down by Mr.. Patterson, suddenly
becomes extremely penitent and high
~ virtuous, and TO give the lie to his
editorial writings for the past year
sends out the plaintive wall that he
has always esteemed Mr.. Patterson
as a public spirited business man. who
has spent his money freely in the de-
velopment of important business en-
terprises beneficial to the CITY," This
so-called 'es eem" was conspicuous
in the ReUieao last spring when the
whole gang did what it could to de-
feat Mr.. Patterson for mayor, despite
the fact that he was the unanimous
choice of the Democratic convention
for that office. This sentiment Of
high regard and esteem" has been
repeatedly exemplified in the columns
of the Revie;o towards an "enterprising
pubIic-spirited business man" by try
ing 10 drive him and others of equal
prominence in city affairs out of the
town. Oh, consistency! where is thy
shadow of illuminating greatness;
where thy jewel hedecked crown?
So far as the Reuie,o is concerned it
must have been cast into the hell
box" and consigned to the depths OF
oblivion, there to be insulted by hyp-
ocritical pretensions.

ST. PAUL Trade Journal. Diversified
farming begins to receive attention in
various parts of Minnesota. The
Scotch American colony of farm
ers around Delhi, near Red
wood Falls, have organized TO build a
creamery, and a correspondent an
nounces that in the southern part OF
Redwood county, Richard Walsh, a
we'll known farmer, has for several
years given up the exclusive raising or
wheat, apd has gone into the raising
of cattle and hogs. Last year he put
in only ten acres of wheat, while he
put in about one hundred acres of
barley, oats, and corn. On the out
come of this he fed cattle and hogs
which procured him $4,000, and has
fifty head of cattle feeding still left.
He believes Minnesota to be splendid
iy adapted to hog raising, with no
chance of loss from death, no kind OF
epidemic ever having been known to
take place among them in the state.
The Hubbard County Improvement
Union, of Park Rapids, evidently be-
lieves potatoe raising can be made
profitable in that part of the country,
and is trying to secure the location OF
a starch factory, and promises that
from $4,000 TO 100, 900 bushels of pota
toes can be secured.

IN his argument for the proposed
new tariff bill, Mr.. Wilson declared
that the mills of this country, by run
ming from six to nine months in the
year, can make more fabrics than our
own people can consume; that this
market therefore is too marrow" and
that our manufacturers need to have
free raw materials so that they can
push out into the markets of the
world" Mr.. Cleveland, in his mes
sage, also expresses these views. Are
they correct? asks The 1eTtile Record.
And having asked this question that
journal proceeds to answer it thusly:
They are absolutely without founda-
tion in fact. In the year 1892 every
mill in the United States, with few
exceptions. was in ulloperation every
working day Of the twelve months.
Not only did the nation take and con-
sumo the entire output, but we sent
to Europe and brought here nearly
four hundred million dollars worth
of articles Of the same kind that we
make at home. The imports Of GER
tain manufacturers were as follows:
Cotton goods thirty million dollars;
glass and glassware, eight and half
million dollars; iron and steel thirty
three and one-third million dollars;
leather and manufacturers Of, fourteen
million dollars; silk goods, thirty
three and one half million dollars;
WOODEN fabrics, tirty-eight million dol
lars. If indeed we produced too much
at home, these goods must have been
sent here just for fun. We must have
added to our great domestic surplus
this great mass of stuff brought from
abroad. Where is al this material
today? Not in the stores, for stocks
were never so low. Where is it? Every
pound of it. every yard of it, has been
taken by the people and used. So far
is Mr.. Wilson from being right in his
estimate that if imports should be
wholly excluded, it is doubtful if
American mills, could supply the
home demand by running Is hours a
day all the year round. 1T
