Foreign Competition OF
COttOnS.

According to an article IN the
Boston Commercial Bulletin, the
cotton cloth industry in the Uni
ted States are far from rosy. In
creasing pressure of foreign COM
petition on our markets, foreign
and domestic, seems to be the des-
tiny of our cotton manufacturers.
The industry in Europe is par
ticularly depressed.
At the international meeting of
textile workers at Roubaix, France,
last November, the official reports
told a terrible tale of foreign wages
in the cotton industry. The wea-
vers of Manchester, England, ac-
cording to this report, earn on the
average S6.63 for a week OF 81
hours. The spinners average $500
the girls from eighteen to twenty
years earning S430 to $3.50 Piec-
ers earn on an average S4.3S a
week, and bobbin boys Sl.76 to
S1.95.
In France the daily wage for
fourteen hours work, in Cambre-
sis and the Department dc PAisne
is l3fc. to 19Ic. for weavers.
The representatives of a large
German factory employing l,5OOO
hands and running 10000 spindles
reported the average earning OF
girls and women at $1.45 for
week of 66 hours.
The capitalists of England con-
ceived the idea that operatives
who required no clothing worth
mentioning, and no food but oil
and rice, could work more cheap
ly even than these unhappy toll
ers. SO they established large
| factories at Bombay for the man.

The Fight OF The Sugar
Schedule.

ment made several weeks ago that
there would be sharp and bitter
struggle between the House and
Senate over the sugar schedule.
The disclosure of the manner in
which the Sugar Trust forced the
finance committee of the Senate
to grant the protection it desired,
and made German, Brice, Smith
and other Democratic Senators
whom it controlled do its bidding
has embittered the members OF
the House, and they have declar-
ed their intention of fighting the
schedule and preventing the SUI
gar refners from receiving any
protection whatever.
A number of the prominent
leaders on the Democratic side
have gone so far az to delare that
they would rather see the McKin-
ley bill remain on the statue books
as Republican measure than that
the Wilson bill as amended by the
Senate should become Democra
tic law. This shows the temper
the House is now in and it is USE
less to attempt to conceal the fact
that the sugar industry of this
State is in danger, because popu-
lar sentiment will support any
effort to place sugar on the free
list, and there is every reason to
believe that a determined effort
| in that direction will be made just
as soon as the tariff bill is sent
to the House.
The editorials of the New York
Times and World charging that
Senators Caffery and White join
ed forces with the Sugar Trust
and dictated the sugar schedule,
have also done much to arouse the
opposition of the House and cause
, it to antagonize the sugar indus
: try.
: 1t is to be hoped, however, that
! the conference committee will not
: reach an agreement placing sugar
:: on the free list, but instead will
eliminate the most Objectionable
feature of the schedule, the pro
lection given to the Trust, and al
low the duty Of one cent pounC
on raw sugars to remain.
1t was an evil day for the sugar
industry of this State when Presi
dent Havemeyer and Secretary
Searles of the American Suga
Refining Company testified in thu
most unblushing and nonchalan
manner to the fact that their com
pany had friends in the Senate
that contributed to the campaign
funds of both political parties, ant
that it used money for the purpos'
of securing Legislation favorable
to its interests. These men talket
as though they owned Congress
that they had corrupted it ant
made it tool for the accomplish
ment of their purposes, and tn
result is the whole country is de
handing the wiping out of all du
ties on sugar whether they be in
cidental or protective in character
This is the danger that threaten
the leading industry of Louisiana
and it is certainly matter G
grave concern to the planters @
this State, and to our representa-
tives in Congress who must nee
put forth their very best efforts t
prevent sugar of all kinds bein
placed on the free list.-States.
