PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

Republican senators profess to feel
aggrieycd because their representa-
tivcs in the tariff conference have not
been taken into consultation by the
democratic conferceS, who are trying
to reach some basis of agreement be-
fore calling the full committee to-
gethcr. Theoretically, the point is
well taken If the tariff ever were
considered dispassionatcly upon its
merit without regard to party divis,
ions, and if anything like a full and
free conference were possible, the
whole committee should be called into
council from the first.
Practically nothing Of this kind is
expected The present minority is
openly antagonistic to the whole pur-
pose OF the majority, just as the then
minority was in 1890, and custom has
made a revenue bill a party measure,
which must be perfected by the re
sponsible majority before il is offered
for a final vote. 70 call in the rep
resentativcs Of the minority at the
beginning therefore, would be only Il
waste Of time.
This was recognized when the Me
kinley bill was sent TO conference.
Senator Carlisle, on behalf Of the
minority, expressly disclaimed any
right or wish to embarrass the ma
jority IN free conference among
themselves, and the minority confer
recS did not attend the meetings until
the work was practically done. As
4 mere matter Of courtesy II would
have been right TO start with a meet
ing Of the full committee, but there
has been such manifest disposition
to mere obstruction from the minority
that the neglect Of this fOrmality may
be pardonable.
n any event it could have been
only formality. A revenue bill

TENS, In a ministerial measure, on
which the ministry must stand or
falls with Us necessarily party

litical aud legislative necessities. and

THE WORLDS HOTTEST DESERT

San Diego to the corridor man ut

upon the mountain range to the east,
looking across the 20 miles OF plain to

1t requires any extraordinary feat OF

When the Mckinley bill was framed
and representatives of all the monop-
oily combinations were gathered at
Washington IL lobby for higher du-
ties, the sugar trust got not only all
it asked, but more than it expected.
1t got its raw material free and Il
duty of fifty GEMS per hundred pounds
on refined sugar. which enabled it to
levy tax of not less than So 100000
annually on the consumers Of sugar
without one cent of revenue TO the
government. en- the contrary, the
people were taxed, beside this, ST.
oo0OpO FOR bouut.rS to sugar growers.
The pending tariff bill puts duty
of 10 per cent. ad valorcm on all
sugars. with Il protective OF differ
entail duty of l. IL cents per hundred
pounds on refined sugar, The protcc-
ton afforded the rehncrS 10y this ad
Nalorcm duty is probably about %
cents per hundred pounds. The wild
est opponents of the bill do not claim
that ii will be more than 81 cents, so
that even if the sugar schedule were
left as it passed the senate, the prolCC-
ton to the sugar trust is by their
own showing much less than under
the Mckinley bill, while some SI4-
100000 will he alded to the annual
revenues of the United States.
And yet the papers that oppose the
pending bill and wish to defeat any
change in the Mckinley tariff profess
to base their opposition on hostility
to the sugar trust! They insist that
it is making corrupt profits under
the present law and that therefore
it ought not to he disturbed.
The mere statement of this abSur-
dity is sufficient to show that the
whole cutlery about the sugar tax is
deliberately false and misleading. Its
object is to diScrcdit and if possible
to defeat revenue reform and to pre-
serve the present monopoly tariff, un-
der which not only the sugar trust but
the whole list of protected combine
have reaped their cXorbitant profits at
the expense of the people.

COAL.

The great number of returning i'm
migrants mainly English, Scotch,
Irish and BelGianS give as Il reason
that they can make as good living
on the other side as over here, and
many of them propose to work in the
English mines. where the actually
get better wages than in the United
States This is the kind of testimony
that knocks out the theories and
claims of the partisan protectioniSt.
There is a duty of seventy-tive cents
Il ton on coal for the protection Of
American labor" But the truth keeps
struggling to the light. About the
sole and lonely influence resisting the
free schedule on coal are the big com
panies operating in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Virginia. Their asScr-
ton that if the duty is removed or
coal made free, wages vii he cut, is
humbus pure and simple. The miner
now works ut rhirty-tive to forty cents
a ton, without regular employment,
and wages were never so low. The re-
turning immigrant is the best kind
of argument against the claim Of the
operator.

be superior in all respects. In form
and size these bricks resemble our

shell Is so thin that the brick weighs
less than one made Of clay A wall

use Of mortar, and no skilled labor Is
required in laying them. The upper
and lower sides Of the bricks are pro
vidcd with grooves and projecting
ribs which fit into each other easily
and perfectly and form a wall Of
great strength. There are also two

COTTON.

As an evidence Of the growth of the
cotton manufacturing industry in the
southern states, it is worthy of note
that twenty cotton mills are now in
operation in South Carolina, and
throughout the past two years of in
duStrial depression every mill in that
state has been run on full time and
has been making money, with but
two failu4rS to record Favorable
circumstances surround the industry
in the south, for it is possible to man
ufacturc cotton there far cheaper than
in the north. The question Of divi-
bends. however. is the most interest
ing one to those who have investments
in cotton enterprises and the returns
just in from the half yearly reports
shows that capital pays from eight TO
twenty-five per cent, the best aver
age estimate being twelve and half
per cent. for the past three years.
Three mills alone in South Carolina
earn S7JO.OO0 annually on an invest
ment of about 10000 and this is
the indication that the southern states
have uncovered a new source OF reve-
nue. that must bring great wealth
within their borders. Southern cotton
manufacturers are not lighting the
tariff. but giving strict attention to
the business demands of the market
while the northern mill proprietor Is
