The crop reports from various parts of
the country indicate that conditions in
the South are moro favorable than in the
rest of the country, except that cotton is
a little backward. Harvesting of winter
wheat is now general in this section and
the yield is generally satisfactory. che
South in material advancement is steadily
progressing and the day cannot be far
distant when It's great advantages will
be fully appreciated and immigrants will
swarm into these States by thousands.

gan work at l 1 O'Clock this morning, and

c. A. Spreckles. of San Francisco,a son
of Clans Spreckles, the California sugar
king, says the trust, by the time the tariff
bill becomes a law, will have imported
from 100000 to 100000 short tons of
sugar into this country for the purpose
of evading the tax. In order to save the
$l6,OOO,0OO to s2O,OOO,OOO which would
be put into the treasury of the United
States, Mr.. Spreckles recommends that
the Government fix an internal revenue
tax of from $40 to $lS per ton to be levied
on Ill sugars refined in this country for
the next six months. As the enormous
stock which the trust has imported will
have to be refined within that period to
avoid waste and deterioration the Govern
ment will get the Profits of their attempt
ed evasion Of the tariff laws. There
seems to be considerable merit in the
plan, and the tariff thinkers would do we'll
to adopt it.

The scheme to put duty on raw cot
ton, which emanated from Senator Ba-
con, of Georgia, seems in a fair way Of
adoption by n Republican Congress. 1t
Z looks like popular move, and although
not in line with the Democratic tariff
policy, has already received the support
of five Senators of that party. The effect
of the passage of the measure is variously
interpreted, some of the leading Demo
Gratis being particularly vigorous in their
opposition to it, but Senator Bacon in
sists that the omission of cotton from the
dutiable list is violation of that part of
the Democratic platform which holds
that tariff taxation should mot discrimi-
nate against any section. With the South
gradually developing into a manufacture
ing section and duty on raw cotton,
there is no knowing what will finally be
the gains of protection in this direction.
