The lubin Export Bounty.

The summary defeat of the Lubin
recalls the report made by the five econ
omists who in accordance with the re-
quest of Mr. Lubin passed judgment on
the proposition. These gentlemen were
Prof. Gunton, editor of American Eco
Monies, j. r. Dodge, renowned stat
istician, Joseph Nimmo. Robert p.
Porter and Col. Albert Clarke, secre-
tary of the Home Market club, Boston.
Their conclusion was as follows:
The result was that we failed to be
tconvinced of either the economic sound
ness of the proposition or the correct
ness of the assumption upon which II
is founded. II does not seem to us
necessary part of equitable and nation
al protection. but on the contrary it
seems beyond the legitimate province
of protection and more in the nature OF
paternalism or charity. Protection Sc
cures to nation of people their natur-
al opportunity, leaving all the chances
of success or failure to themselves, and
under this policy an enormous home
market has been developed
1 But an export bounty undertakes to
sustain prices at home. thus suggesting
dependence to the slothful and over
production to the thrifty: and to de-
press prices abroad, thus purposely in
juring people with whom we are at
peace and cheapening at our national
expense the cost of producing goods
which come here to compete with our
own
/ This claim for equalization (between
tariff duties and bounties) is based
upon the assumption that the duty and
profits upon the duty are added to the
price of both imported and domestic
goods which, it is commended, discrimi-
mates against the exporting farmer
| facturer. But this is not true. Com
petition renders it impossible. And
j statistics show that the aggregate
price of two hundred articles which
enter most largely into the support OF
life and the uses of man is not eight
cents higher on $50 worth in protected
America than it is in free trade Eng
land.
/ This fact amounts to a demonstration
that the assumption of inequalityis I'M
founded. Further contention for it,
supported by only isolated evidence
begs the question. Science and states
manship are obliged to recognize the
prevailing fact And since the prevail
ing fact shows that in this country the
farmer is not ''robbed for the benefit

The Hawaiian Question.

Some of the Washington correspon-
dents predict that there is to be some
definite action with regard to Hawaii
before long. 1t is stated on the au-
thority of a diplomat, no names men

Hawaii wishes to arrange for an
American protectorate at once. with
annexation to follow on terms whereby

and becomes part of the United
States under the name, THE Territory
of Hawaii.
Second. The United States govern
ment not only extends to Hawaii the
protection demanded, but assumes the
debt of Hawaii up to a total of four
million dollars.
Third All citizens of the present Re-
public of Hawaii become citizens of the
United States, except those Asiaties
who are already excluded from the
privilege of United States citizenship
and the Chinese now in Hawaii are
forbidden to migrate to the United
States proper except as they may be
permitted under our statutes.
Fourth. The present government and
laws of Hawaii are to continue in force
there, except so far as they may d.
rectly conflict with the constitution and
laws of the United States until Con-
gress shall have had time to frame new
laws for the government of the an

The Vote on the Sugar Schedule

The vote on the sugar schedule has
been said to set at rest all doubt as to
the final passage of the tariff bill. 1t is
worthy of notice, however, that if for
any particular reason or purpose either
of the Nevada senators, who are ex-
|ceedingly likely to have particular pur-
poses affecting their tariff views, had
voted against the schedule the vote
would have been tied. 1t would seem
that the supposition recently advanced
to the effect that the bill is not DEEPEN
dent on the support of Jones of Ne
vada, was not tenable, unless we are
to suppose that some of the Demo-
Gratis that voted against the sugar
schedule will vote for the bill as a
whole Possibly McLaurin of South
Carolina and Bacon of Georgia, will
do this. 1t now seems certain that Nc
Emery will support the measure

WANTS A CONFERENCE
To Investigate Differences Of Cattle
men in Greer County.

Special Agent George Carmichael, Of
the general land cffice, has returned
from Greer county, where he went TO
investigate the occupation OF the pub
lie lands by the cattlemen. There is q
conflict between the cattlemen and
the homesteaders under the present
condition. The cattlemen have large
tracts OF lands fenced in pastures that
are subject TO homestead entry. The
special agent spent a week investi gat-
ing the matter, and In order TO do all
parties Justice, issues the following
call:
GUTHRIE, okla, Sept 2, 1897.
1t has been brought TO the attention
OF the general land office that large
tracts OF the public lands in Greer
county, Oklahoma, have been and con.
tinue TO be unlawfully enclosed and
used wholly for private purposes as
stock ranges, The undersigned is now,
and has been for sometime, engaged
| by order OF the honorable secretary OF
/ the interior and the commissioner Of
the general land off se, in an inquiry
as TO the truth OF such allegations.
As n special agent OF the government
/ In the performance Of his duty, as
above stated, he thinks himself safe in
saying that it is intended by those
charged with the administration OF
| the land laws that in Greer county, as
else here. the rights OF the homestead
settler, as those OF others, will be
safely guarded.
Recognizing the peculiar conditions
prevailing under the laws OF Texas,
before Greer county became q part OF
the Oklshoma Territory, the special
agent has thought that a conference
between those representing the cattle
interests and himself might help to a
better and quicker solution OF the
problem OF what is just and fAir-he
! Invites those engaged IN the cattle
growing business In Greer county, Ok
lshoma, to a conference at the United
States land office, at 10 m Septem-
Der %, 1897, for the object above
named.
Enclosed are copies OF the land laws
having bearing on the above mat

SAW A GHOST
Engineer Runs over Phantom and
Stops His Train

A Santa Fe passenger engineer has
seen ghost. While the train was
running at high rate OF speed near
Red Rock last week the engineer saw
what he took to be man on the track.
He quickly reversed the engine, but
the object was struck and the grind
was plainly noticeable ns the wheels
passed over il. The train was stopped
and backed up to gather up the body,
tut not d thing could be found, al
though strict search was made And
il still remains mystery, though the
engineer is almost willing to make
cath that 1t was a man and that the
engine struck him. The section men
were ordered TO make diligent search,
and have done SO, but entirely with
out success.
