RICHMOND, Va, Sept 19.-Gover-

sis of it's claim that Virginia would go

sition today as follows: "Since I be-
gan to study the money question, and
that was about a year ago last spring,
have been a strong advocate of sound
money. [ have read everything that
came in my reach on the subject, and

In these days, when quotations are
selected from the speeches OF Lincoln,
Webster, Blaine and other statesmen
of equal note, with a view to proving
that these men were silvsrites, 1t is
amusing to note some of the remarks
pissed by Senator Stewart, one of the
leaders of the silver craze, when he
was in Congress in 1878. It was SEN
ator Stewart who SPOKE of gold as the
custodian of commerce" the common
denominator of values" and who fpal-
ly in a Congressional debate said:
Il do not care how much you discuss
it, or how many resolutions you pass,
they do not make any difference; you
must come to the same conclusion tEat
all other people have-that gold is rec
ognized as the universal standard of
value 1t is the measure that must be
used. 1t is the measure by which wealth
must be tested, and whether it be pen
MES or millions matters not, it is the
measure that must test all wealth"
Senator Jones has also undergone a
great change of heart from former
years, he once being gold free trader.
Since these active Senators have
changed their views so radically, it
seems poor taste for them to rake up
some silver speech that Blaine made
before times were changed

With the Hawaii Herald supporting

G. X. Wilder's cause, it wouldn't be a
bad plan at all for the two Hilo fac

on E. G. Hitchcock. In move of this
character they would have the support
of the other island districts and politics
on the big island would run smoothly
once more.

PARALLELS IN wHISKEY AND (
SUGAR.

A problem under the head Of supply
and demand has come to the whisky
distfueries in Kentucky, whose man
ayers find that they already have spir-
its enough stored in bonded ware
houses to supply the market demand
for more than four years. This over
supply has been the means of bringing
about an agreement whereby only six
of the three hundred Kentucky distil-
Ieries will be run during the next
eighteen months, in order that the
supplies may be sold at a fair profit.
There are a great many lessons to be
drawn from this incident, and by no
means the least important is the eX-
ample given of the power of trusts,
under the name of close corporations,
TO exercise almost complete sway over
the market prices of products, although
we must admit that there will be very
high price of whisky.
The extraordinary whisky surplus
also finds some parallels in the pres
ent and probable future Of the sugar
markets of the world. Notwithstand-
ing the shortage in the Cuba crop, the
Louisiana Planter is given to taking
very serious view of the situation. The
ominous features are duet the declara-
ton of intentions by the German Gov
eminent to so develop the sugar beet
- IN, drix hn ont
of the market While there seems to
be no immediate fear that sugar cane
will not survive any struggle with the
beet industry, there can be no doubt
that the production during the next
few years will be of sufficient volume
to run prices to a very low figure and
make profit margins very narrow.
The prospective fight between the
beet sugars of Europe and the cane of
the United States and the West Indies
is one in which this country is directly
and critically interested. The Louisi-
ana planters seem to fear only the beet
sugars of Europe, but the chances are
that beet production in the United
States will assume more prominence
in the next four years than it has
previously. 1t was in 1892 that the
company controlling the American Ag-
riculturalist set on foot a gigantic
scheme to open. up beet sugar farms all
through the Western States. The cleo
ton of Cleveland put an end to the
plan, which will doubtless be reopened
under a Republican protective admin
istration There is plenty of money
to be put into American beet sugar
production, and under present prices
the farmer will desert wheat, corn,
oats. etc Unfortunately, it is impos-
sible for sugar producers of any sec
ton to follow the example of the Ken
lucky distilleries and close their mills |
Other countries would simply increase
their production to make up for the |
loss. The only thing to do, then, is TO
look well to the future and prepare to
meet sharper competition for time. |
Sugar beets will be popular among |
farmers so long as the prices of other
staple products are low. The cane cul- |
tivating contingent has then to look |
out for temporary inroad and trust in
the principle of the survival of the |
fittest
