That Sugar Bounty Hold Up.

Al last the democratic administra-

the country after months of deliberate
and dishonest attempts to cheat the
American sugar producers. No sucn

democratic financial jugglery which

A hint comes from India which Is

reason for the carping western criti-

Ample proof that the sale to Russia

dence before the senate investigating
committee. Since then orders have
been given by the Russian govern
ment to the Bethlehem and Carnegie
companies at prices ranging from
$525.5S to $535.32 per ton. No country
in the world demands such severe re-
quirements for armor as the United
States government, and, even taking
this into consideration, the prices be-
ing paid at present for armor by the
United States government are no
higher than those paid by the admiral
ties of France, Germany and Great
Britain. IL the ballistic requirements
were also taken into consideration, the
price of armor in America is in reality
lower than in England and on The
European continent

Armor Plate Best in the World.

Some Oregon papers have published
few careless errors regarding the
cost OF armor plate. errors that are the
result of insufficient acquaintance with
or inquiry into, the subject. The re-
Elections upon the contracts entered
into by the democratic secretary
of the navy, Mr.. Herbert, are
equally as unfounded as those upon
the policy of protection, which
has alone enabled us to supply
armor plate second TO none in the
world for Use in the construction of
American vessels The Importance of
this American independence has been
fully appreciated by democrats and
republicans alike. The construction of
the plant was expensive, and the adj
ministrations of both political parties
have deemed it to be the duty OF our
government to encourage the estab-
lishment of industries of such high ma
tional Importance From one of the
Oregon papers We quote as follows:
The Bethlehem company was the
lowest bidder for the Kentucky" and
the Carnegie company for the "Kear-
sarge" armor. The prices per ton
ranged from S515 to S62S. From this
it is apparent that there was collision
in the bidding. The Carneges got one
ship and the Bethlehem works the
other. The law that keeps out foreign
competition is responsible for this rob-
berry of the people The Portland Ore
gonian in mentioning this matter says:
1T was developed by the recent in
vestigatiOn that it costs about $500 per
ton to make armor Bids for the
'Kearsarge' and Kentucky armor
range from $500 to $500. There are
only two companies, and each one got
one ship. One of these concerns sells
armor to Russia for about $500 per ton.
II might be we'll for us TO invite bids
from France, Germany and Great
Britain
This is distortion of the facts. and
evidently for the sole purpose of mis-
leading the public. With a difference
OF Sll3 per ton in the price it is direct
proof that there was not ''collusion in

A EST1ON OF SHIPS.
A Floating Vessel Weighs the Same
as the Water Ii Displaces.

N Floating NesSeI weighs the Sahc
as the Water 1t Displnces.
The fundamental principle of navi-
CATION, and therefore the controlling
elementary law of maratime strategy,
is the physical law of displacement
that a floating vessel invariably weighs
neither more nor less than the quantity
of water which its immersed part dis
places. 1t is consequence Of this
that the weight of Il ship OF given size
is constant Within certain iilu.ts a
builder may distribute the weight as
he pleaseS. He may assign so much to
hull, so much TO engines of propulsion
and the remainder to cargo. For a
given speed the weight of the engines
for ships of the same size will be much
the same The builder. therefore. must
choose between assigning weight to
hull or giving il TO cargo. very
strong hull means reduced carrying
capacity. n great carrying capacity
means hull of the lighteSt possible
construction. TO these elementary con
ditions il due the difference between
n ship OF war anu merchant ship;
the merchant ship must necessarily be
constructed to carry the greatest
weight of cargo possible, consistent
with hull strong enough for naviga-
ton and with propulsion sufficient for
the speed required in its business.

the bidding" Each company bid lower
than the other on certain classes of ar
NOR for which its respective shops are
better fitted for doing certain classes
OF work. A close figuring, moreover,
between the two plants proves the eff
feet of competition and shows that the
government is not paying any exor-
bitant price for the work.
This armor mas been awarded by the
honorable secretary OF the navy. 3,007
tons to the Carnegie company and
1858 tons to the Bethlehem company.
He did not give the armor for one ship
10 each company. as stated. The average
price OF this armor was $50 per ton be-
,Aw the price of the 1899 contract, and
the average price only $497 per ton,
not including the cost for Harveyizing.
Any person who had taken the trouble
TO analyze the tenders and the award
would have seen at glance that there
could not possibly have been any col
fusion between the two companies.
In regard to the small lot OF armor
plate sold to the Russian government
at about $500 per ton by the Bethlehem
company, it is well known that this
was considerably below the cost OF
production. The sale was made for
two purposes. One of these was to
keep the American plant busy and at
ford work TO skilled American labor,
even at loss to the employers, as is
often done by manufacturers. The
other reason was TO let Russia and all
Europe know that the United States
could furnish armor plate of quality
that would compare favorably with the
best in the world. This object was
certainly achieved. for European man,
uiacturers very strongly resented what

COL. COCKERlLL DEAD
A Famous Correspondent VIII Write No

NEW YORK, April 10.-A special
cable from Cairo, Egypt, says Col John
A. Cockerill, the well known newspaper
in Shepherds hotel. John A. Cockerill
was born at Locust Grove, Adams coun-
ty, Ohio, in 1S45 His father was an at
tOrney and man of means and intend
ed to give his son college education,
but the war broke out, and the lad fol-
lowing his father entered the army as
a drummer boy. His father commanded
the Seventh Ohio Volunteers at Shiloh.
After the war young Cockerill became
printer and did his first work on the
Scion of Temperance.
After considerable experience on the
local press of Dayton and Hamilton he
went to Cincinnati, where he worked as
reporter city editor and managing edit
or on the Enquierer. In 1877, he went to
Europe and accompanied the Turkish
army during the war with Russia. writ
ing letters to the Enquirer. On his re-
turn from Constantinople he was en-
gagged as editor of the Washington Post
and Baltimore Gazette. Afterwards in
1880 he secured large interest in the
Post-Dispatch at st. Louis with Joseph
Pulitzer. While edition of the Post Dis
patch his vigorous editorial work
brought out his unfortunate alteration
with Col. Slayback, resulting in the lat
ter's death. When Joseph Pulitzer Sc
cured the New York World, Cockerill
went with him. In 1891 he became editor
of the New York Morning Advertiser
and the Commercial Advertiser, with
which he continued until he went to ia
pan year ago as correspondent for the
New York Herald
