BRITISH SUGAR INTERESTS.

The news that the last of the English
sugar refneries are being closed by the
great stimulus given to sugar production
in Germany and France by the bounty
system emphasizes the fact that the Amer
lean method of a protective duty is the
only way to safeguard the industry. This
fact is recognized in England itself, for
according TO London cabegram a lead
ing sugar broker of that city is reported
as saving in regard to the passage of the
tariff bill in the United States discrimi-
mating against foreign bounty sugar coun-
tries: "The action of the United States
is the proper and only course to pursue"
The two items show there is COM pre-
hension among leading minds in England
that protection is the only way in which
she can save her industries from decay.
With all the vast advantage of cheap labor
in the colonies her sugar rehneries cannot
save themselves from bankruptcy. Unless
she changes her policy to one of protec-
ton she will have to abandon her sugar
industry and depend for her supply on the
beet farmers and factories OF Germany and
France.
The long-esta blished opposition to pro-
lection in England is we'll illustrated by
a statement recently made by w. E. Glad
stone in reply to a query by corre-
spondent OF this question. The EXPIRE
mier said: az consider that our sugar
growers are very iIl-used in the matter of
bounties (as are the populations of the
countries which pay them). But they are
not ill-used by US, and 1 know not how
our Government can undertake to redress
grievances imposed by other countries. A
great effort was made by former Gov
ernment which resulted in total and
rather discreditable failure. These boun-
ties are part of the system OF protection
from which it cost twenty years of our
national life to escape. We ought never
to compromise the situation so dearly
won."
This is an Illustration OF stubborn per-
sistence in theory even when its ruinous
effects are staring the persister in the face.
1t must be remembered that Mr.. Glad
stone is an old man, who has grown gray
under the regime of Cobden's doctrines,
and his methods of reasoning on this
subject have become habits not easily
broken now by even the overwhelming
argument of facts. 1t is harder TO un-
learn than to learn. 1t is interesting to
note, however. that even in free-trade
England younger and more practical
minds are watching the evidence of events
in this matter, and admitting into their
minds the new conceptions that must
come with the progress of the world.
Amerlea is fortunate in now having its
political destinies guided by statesmen
who will save her sugar industry from
the doom that has come upon that Of the

Hidden away in the bulky conference re-

in during the con: erence, for it was not in the
orI ginal bill. II reads as follows:

stamped. marked. written or printed upon said
packages OF smoking tobacco, fnecut chewing
tobacco or ciearettes or their contents any prom
ise or offer Of or any order of certificate for any

1t will be seen that this new law breaks up
all the gilt enterprise business in cigarettes.
No more sending ten COUPONS OF the Great
American cigarette and receiving picture OF
.warshlp, or an actress, or collection Of
flags. The cigarette people are very much dis
turbed because, they say one OF their best ad-
vertisements has been taken away. There
will also be complaint from the photographic
companies, for their revenues, now amounting
to a large sum from the printing of flags and
other colored pictures, Will be materially de-
creased. The proposed law will also curtail
the receipts of the newspapers, for many Of
the tobacco companies advertise their prizes.
Represen tative Dingley said that the clause
had been agreed upon because the internal
revenue officers com plain that the prize-giving
results in an evasion of the revenue laws, and
also because many of the cigarette pictures are
obscene In their nature.

ROYALTY AND RETALIATION.

II the Canadian Government undertakes
to impose burdensome restrictions on
American miners going into the Klon-
dyke country in search of gold it will be
no more than their duty for the au thori-
ties at Washington to resort to such re-
prisals as will bring that bantam country
10 q sense of the courtesies due to her
neighbors. By this method she has been
promptly made to act more reasonably
than she intended in other matters, and
these forcible and quickly comprehended
arguments can be used effectively again.
The Canadians are indebted to this Gov
ernment for many valuable privileges
which should by all means be withdrawn
unless friendly appreciation of them is
shown by treating our citizens fairly. A
reasonable tax could not be objected to,
but any attempt to make the burdens so
great as to be largely prohibitive to many
miners is not only the folly of standing in
her own light, but an act of injustice
which calls for National notice on our
part. For Canada to make any wide diff
ferences in the privileges granted tc
Americans from those which Canadians
have freely used on American soil, while
NV Oh aSb vi uESIeooiOn dAQ ptTudp Us
strictly within her rights, is yet an in
hospitable proceeding which justifies the
revocation of advantages hitherto allowed
Canadians by the United States.
Advices from Washington state that if
Congress were in session various motions
for retaliatory measures would be intro
duced. Fortunately the executive already
has ample powers for the OCCASION The
courtesy OF making Dyea o sub port of
entry, as was recently done by Secretary
Gage, can be recalled. If the Dominion
Government attempts 10 enforce its alien
laws we have alien land laws which could
be put in operation to the inconvenience
of British owners of pro perty in our Ter
ritories, and later we could enact general
alien laws to fit the case. Canadian rail-
WAYS also have valuable bonded privileges
which could be taken away if retaliation
is called for by their Governments un-
friendly conduct.
1t is to be hoped that nothing more
than the mere suggestion that we have
been so i'll treated as to provoke talk
about re etaliation will be necessary to cause
the Canadian Cabinet to reconsider any

the average number is 1866 hairs. BY meas

easy to calculate the number of hairs on the
average pate. Another set OF "hair scie tits IS "
