their sugar interests. they could soon
break up the bounty system, for. in
that case, the beet raising countries of
Europe would find the object of their
bounty policy defeated. 1t is probable
that they would be willing then to cry
quits. Germany alone produces 1885,
600 metric tons, nearly one-fifth the
total annual sugar product of the
world
The United States has the soil and
climate 10 compete, and under the Nc
Kinley act was beginning to be a for
midable rival, but the Wilson law
took of the bounty without making
provision for any sort of offset The
next Congress should either restore the
bounty or put tariff on importation
from bounty paying countries high
enough to be an offset TO those boun-
ties.
The United States is the great sugar
eating country of the world Our con-
sumption of it has considerably more
than doubled per capita since the war
The average annual amount of sugar
consumed by each person in this coun-
| try is nearer seventy than sixty
pounds. If the money spent for sugar
could be kept at home it would make
a great difference with cur balance of
trade. AT 2 cents pound this exceeds
81, 100000 year. Surely the Wilson
law, viewed simply from this one sac
charine point of view, was great ma
tional calamity.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively, and it has always. given
entire sfaction.-Olagah, Ind. Ter.
Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thous-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of
a single case having resulted in pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy at
hand. The 25 and so cent sizes for

Importance of Fostering sugar Pro-
duction in the Country.
[Chicago Inter ocean,
An item OF news from Mauritius
states that the sugar-planters of that
island have decided to join with those
of the British West Indies in repre-
sensations to the Government of Great
Britain regarding the sugar bounties
paid by foreign countries. The object
in view is to secure some counter-ac-
ton to enable them to compete more
fairly with their foreign rivals.
The fact of it is that sugar raising is
on a radically different footing from
any other branch of agriculture. 1t
was just about as the present century
was born that the feasibility of produc-
ing beet sugar was discovered and the
genius of Napoleon saw the interna-
tional Importance of this rival to cane
sugar. He put a premium, in the form
of a Government bounty, on raising
beets for sugar, and that was adopted
by the other great nations of Cont
mental Europe and is in vogue at this
day.
For a long time cane-raisers did not
suffer from this competition, but at last
it has become almost destructive. If
beet-raising Europe hold to the bounty
policy and cane-raising countries do
not do the same the inevitable result
will be to very nearly destroy the rails
ing of cane. The Mauritians are justi-
fed in their demand and Great Britain
must come to the rescue or see that
branch of agriculture wither away
The latest available estimate of sugar
production gives the total per year as:
Beet, 3,S41 900 metric tons, cane $780,
600 metric tons. The metric ton is
2204.6 pounds, almost the same as our
long ton of 2240 pounds OF this yield
Maurftius is credited with 125,000 tons,
the Upited States 265, 900 tons, the same
as the Philippine Islands. There are
no less than eighteen countries in the
list of cane-producers. The four great
nations of Continental Europe, Ger
many, Austria Hungary, France and
Russia alone produced just about the
amount of beet sugar as all the rest of
the world does of cane sugar, and they
are bounty countries.
The United States has the distinc-
ton, so vast is our area, of being ad-
apted to the raising of both sugar beet
and cane If it were not for the COM
petition of bounty encouraged beet
sugar we would soon raise all our own
sugar. Or. if our country would stead
lily offset the bounty advantage of
European beet-raisers by a counter
bounty on home production, the same
result would soon be attained Nearly
all the cane sugar of commerce is pro-
duced in the New World, especially the
tropical Islands, and if the Govern
ments of those islands and mainlands
would join the United States in a kind

Capt. John B. Tobey Dead.

News reached this city Friday that
Capt. John B. Tobey, master of the
whaling schooner Ada S. Babson of
this port, had died on October 18th,
and was buried at Bravo three days
later, says the New Bedford (Mass.)

Typhoid fever was the cause of death.
Capt. Tobey was well known among
the whaling men in this city and in
San Francisco, and fellow whalemen
and agents alike unite in words of ad-
