Fair Price for Cane.

According to a reasonable esti~
mate. of three years crops, the cost
of producing and delivering same to
the sugar house, when not more than
one mile is So SO The cost of manu-
featuring is variously estimated al
from 81 to $l.75, but $3.50 is con
sidered a fair estimate. The st.
John refinery it is said extracted an
average of 200 pounds per ton CT
cane, and the Gallery refinery aver
aged 1879 pounds.
According to this estimated ex,
traction, say
$50 lbs first sugar at 81 1923
so lbs second sugar at ? IA l.2o
Making for a ton eff cane $3.50
Manufacturing expense LOU
Leaving net per ton $500
This will give the reader a fair
idea as to the price the r~efineries
could pay for the cane this season at
the present price of sugar. /
1t is claimed that some refinery
only extract $50 pounds per ton,
this would make them net $3.50. Is
not one dollar or a dollar and a
quarter enough profit for the ref
neries? If this is considered a fair
profit for the re6ner. it shows that
the 200 pounds refner could pay
1915 and the $50 pounds refinery
$3.c5 for the cane, make a fair
profit for themselves, and leaving a
profit also for the cultivator.
The sugar growers, Or at least
the refners are loud in their demand
for protection; we believe it is just
and reasonable that the government
should protect our labor and indus
try, but it seems that all the protec'
ton OF sugar is solely for the benefit
of the refiner. We want them to
divide the profit of sugar making
with the labor who produces the
cane, the raw material. Unless they
do that, they should not be protec'
ted. Those who need the protec-
ton the most is the producer, next
the manufacturer.
If the above figures are not Or
rect let the refners show and prove
the correct figures from their books.

The Advance in silver.

The very marked advane ia tho
market price of bar silver duriss
the past few days is quito notice
able, but TO what the advance ms Y
be attributed is not quite clear.
A week ago the white metal was
quoted at about 59l cents an ounce,
while within the past few days it
was quoted at Go cents.
This is the highest 6gure that
silver has reached in several weeks,
about three cents move shan it was
directly after the passage Of the
Bland bill for the coinage Of the
soigniorage and all the bullion in
the treasury, and when there was
an impression in the mindS Of
many people that the presiden,
would approve the measure, The
object of the silver mine owners
and those interested in silver pro
duction i'll seeking the larger use
of the white metal as money is to
enhance its market value, but leg
islation by congress, either favora
Bile or unfavorible, does not seem to
affect the market price of bar silver
in the least. Even under the inhu-
enee of the Sherman compulsory
law which laade a mar&sS Tor al
most the entire American product,
the price Of silver declined steadily
throughout the entire time that
law was in force.
The fact is that the American
market .s governed entirely by the
foreign demand and the price is
fixed in London without any sort
of reference to legislative action on
this side, and the cause Of the pres
ent advance will probably be found
in the increased demand from some
of the eastern countries.-HoustoR

of Delta lodge need any warnings, but |
have observed some that do, hence these
general criticisms
The fraternal orders are national
blessing. They promote thrift, economy,
sobriety, without freezing the soul into
selishness, as is apt to be the case in the
usual struggle for wealth or high social po-
sition. They bring men into closer rea-
lions, and cherish those feelings that
thrive and put forth blossoms in each 9TH
er's welfare. They make men thoughtful
and helpful. expanding the sentiments of
fraternity, charity and good will. They
teach us the religion that breaks bread to
the hungry, gives water to the thirsty,
watches at the bedside of the sick visits
the imprisoned, the fatherless and widow
duties that are sadly neglected, and for a
long time were supposed to be confined to
the church. Fraternity is an endeavOr
One of the direct benefits of fraternity
is to train its disciples in gentleness and
develop an increased consideration for each
and for all men. 1t educates them to be
gentlemen in the higher sense, to be
broadminded and courteous. A wel-in-
structed knight cannot be a bore, showing
only a regard for himself and careless of
the feelings of those around him. He
cannot be mean, narrow, offensive, always
saying and doing diSagreeable things, and
so making himself generally uncomfOrta-
bic to all with whom he comes in contact
On the contrary he will be amithlc and
pleasant, not quick to take offence, cher
iShing no rescntments, generous and mag
unanimous, ready to interpret everything for
the best, a true gentleman as he is gen
uine craftsman.
The field for work. 50 far as the insur-
ance benefits OF the order are concerned,
is almost limitess. OF our 100000 of
population there are 1900, 600 insurable
men, but We cannot figure up more than
100000 Of insured in all fraternal orders
and life insurance companies. This looks
incredible. in view of the swarms of or
ganizers and life insurance agents. but the
figures prove it true. The great majority
neglect their plain duty and leave their
wives and children defenceless against the
one contingency that is inevitable Even
if every man of admissible age was nsur-
ed today a fresh supply would come on to-
morrow.
The reports of the leading fraternal or
ders show a total membership of l,36S,-
SOS. These orders, during the calendar
year of 1892, paid out on account of deaths
a total of S27,Sl1 $50 30, and on account
of sickness and disability, SjS7, 924 II, or
grand total of s., 800, Asa. a. and the to-
tai payments for deaths, sickness, disabil-
ty and expenses were $50, j32, lS4.j9.
Truly it is a wonderful record and one that
fraternal orders, and especially the Knights
of Honor, should place before the public
and their friends, as it speaks volumes in
their favor. The Knights of Honor stands
third largest in the list of fraternal orders,
the Ancient Order of United Workmen
and Royal Arcanum only exceeding us.

that the men who did the job Wednesday
night are the same ones who held up the
