While there is little doubt that with
proper development of it's agricultural and
pastoral resources South Africa could be
made practically self supporting, the sue
cessful development of these industries de-
ponds nevertheless upon the creation of
local markets through the stimulus given
by mining operations.
With the exception of mining of gold,
diamonds and coal there have been no con
siderable explorations of its mineral re-
sources. Coal fortunately exists in many
parts Of the country, and it has been csti-
mated that the known coalfelds represent
an area of $4,000 square miles, which is
equal in extent to the state of Iowa. There
exist in some parts of the country large
deposits of iron contiguous to the coal
fields. But as yet the economic conditions
have not favored the development of that
industry. Lead, silver, cinnabar, tin and
other metals are also found in many parts
of the country, but have not been remllner-
atively worked. Among the mining coun-
tries of South Africa, the Transvaal is facile
princers, and is in all probability destined
to maintain its paramount position,
though, as is well known, South Africa is
"a country of surprises" and it is Eossi-
BILE, of course, though not probable, that
within its great extent other equally i'm
rortant districts may be discovered. John

SUGAR 70 Be PROTECTED
SENATOR PERKINS HAS A NEW
SCHEDULE.
Meeting of subcommittee on Finance
to Hear Suggestions on Tariff Bill
Bounty on American Sugar.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Re-
publican subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Finance held an all
day session at the Capitol today to
ators to make suggestions on the tar
if bill.
Gentlemen, if you do not treat us
as we desire" said Senator Perkins,
eve will trade our votes against your
schedules and so gain the rates we
must have to put our products on an
equality with Eastern manufacturers"
The speaker had bad quarter of an
hour with the Republican members of
the Finance Committee before their
apparent opposition to everything
Western forced from him the declar-
alton which means war on the floor of
the Senate if the tariff bill does not
take care of agricultural interests. Re-
publican members of the Finance Com
mttee who have charge of making the
Dingley bill fit the views of the upper
house have refused to give hearings
to any delegations, but are granting
interested Senators an opportunity to
place before them facts they deem
proper. Under these conditions Per-
lins appeared today. He made his
principal points on citrus fruits. rails
ms and Iante currants, sugar and tin.
When it came to sugar Senator Per-
liins presented the new schedule. lie
asked rate of cent a pound on
sugar showing 20 degrees polariscope

would say nothing of their intentions
as to rates, they assured Senator Per-
kins that sugar would be well pro-

Why We Protect Everything.

There is no other nation on the face of
the earth SO we'll equipped by nature as
our own to make broad and thorough
test of the protective principle There is
not one raw material of the first impor-
tance of which we are not capable of
producing within our borders the great
bulk of our supply, and sugar, tea and
coffee are the only prime articles of food
for which we have to depend upon foreign
countries.
With these exceptions, America is, or
could easily be rendered, absolutely self
sustaining. And Hawaii and Cuba, if
they We're both within our possession,
could be developed to yield all the sugar
required for our needs. A vast country
like the United States follows an unerring
instinct when it endeavors to protect not
only it's manufactures. but it's raw mate
rials. The early tariffs of Washington,
Hamilton and Jefferson sought to protect
everything which could possibly be fabri-
Gated or grown in America jefferson, in
his fierce protectionist zeal, wished that
the Atlantic might be a great lake of fire
to cut us off utterly from Europe.-Bos-

Encouragement for Farmers.

The Democrats all along the line have
always, as they do now, insisted that the
farming interests of the country never re-
celved benefit from protection. Yet, in
spite of these animadversions, and even
before the proposed Dingley bill had pass
ed the House. farm products began NOV
ing to higher levels of price, and are con-
tinulng to move right along because the
good effect of proposed protection has
stimulated general trade and opened fac
tories that have long been idle, and made
OF them greater consumers of what the
farmers had to SELL, Wool, wheat and
corn have each advanced in value and are
holding their own. with good prospect
OF doing still better. Stock of all kinds,
horses, cattle and sheep, have greatly
improved in price, and it may confidently
be stated that the said advance has been
the direct and good result of the proposed
protection that Congress is going to give
the country. The authority for these
statements is derived from the standard
and recognized commercial agencies which
are located in the great commercial CEN
ters, and are thus enabled to state in ex-
act terms what the conditions are.-Du-

Successful Secretary Of Agriculture.

Secretary Wilson, the new head of the
Department of Agriculture, is demonstrat-
ing that he is the right man in the right
place. Unlike the Nebraska busybody
who preceded him, he does not spend his
time in writing theoretical essays on top
les which in nowise concern his depart
ment. Secretary Wilson believes that he
was appointed to his present position to
promote the interests of the tillers of the
soil, and he is not only devoting himself
strictly to these duties, but he is devot-
ing himself to them in d practical and
sensible way, which promises to be of the
utmost value.
One of the reforms he has inaugurated
is to collect new seeds from all parts of
the world, and to distribute them, with
the necessary instructions, among farmers
who are likely to put them to use His
object is to encourage greater diversity
of farm products. Nothing could be wiser,
no matter from what standpoint the mat
ter is viewed.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

The Sugar Beet in Minnesota.

The report Of the Senate Committee on
Beet Sugar Industry in Minnesota fur
nishes the farmers of the State with about
all the necessary information to enable
them to conduct experiments in beet rails
ing successfully. The report has been
compiled for the committee by P. e. Kais-
er, A. NJ, who has evidently given to the
subject much time and research; and the
chairman, Henry Keller, who is familiar
with the operations in Germany, the orig
inal home of the beet sugar industry, has
contributed much practical information.
The conclusion of the committee is that
sugar beet culture and sugar beet manu-
featuring are perfectly feasible in Mime
sofa, and that there is hardly any limit to
the magnitude which the industry may at
tain when once started. They quote the
testimony of chemists to the effect that
any good wheat land is suitable for beets;
also Prof. Shaw, of the Agricultural De-
partment of the State University, to the
effect that Minnesota could grow more
beets than would suffice to make sugar for
the whole United States.

Brief Comment.

Bryanis still keeping up his fight on the
Cleveland wing of his party. He attack
ed them viciously in hssJ effersouss birth
day speech. He knows that the contin!
uation Of this war between the factions
OF his party is the .life Of his personal no.
toriety, and is willing to sacrifice party
to self every time.
Great minds will differ. Mr.. Bryan as
sumed IN his utterances regarding the re-
cent elections that his cause and himself
nave been vindicated. On the other hand.
tnat sterllng Democratic paper, the Ma
con, Ga, Telegraph, which expresses the
sentiment of the genuine Southern Dem
ocracy, says: 'The Democratic success of
Monday shows unmistakably that Bryan
ism and Altgeldism are done for in this
country"
One of the highest recommendations
that the Dingley bill has had thus far
and it has been highly commended from
various sections--is the fact that repre-
sentatives of various foreign governments
are entering protests against it. The OBJ
Ject OF protective tariff is to take care
OF American citizens, and when represent.
atlVes OF other parts of the world begin
to complain about it it is safe to assume
that the purpose of the bill is being ac-
complished.
twenty per cent Of gain in twenty
weeks is pretty good record for any po.
litlcal party to make in work. This is
the gain which the Rhode Island Republi-
cans made in the recent State election
over the vote for Mckinley in 1896. This
is the only spring election in which ma
tional politics have cut any figure, the
elections in the cities having hinged upon
purely local issues which had nothing to
90 with the growth or otherwise Of Repub-
hcan or Democratic sentiment from ma
tlonal standpoint.
The newspapers of the country are at
tacking the Populists because they refuse
to vote for or against the tariff bill and
saying that they show political cowardice
oy their course in this matter The fact
Is that the Populists recognize the over
Whelmlng sentiment of the country in fa-
vor OF protection and yet do not dare to
go back upon their old alliance with the
democrats, to whom they still look for
some crumbs of Office, should that party
ever again be successful.
The Popocrats are scared. There is a
rebellion in the Democratic party against
further continuance of the alliance be-
tween silver Democrats and Populists.
and members of both these organizations
are wild with alarm. Mr. Bryan's organ.
the Omaha World Herald, is frantically
appealing to the old members of the DO
litical job lot which failed in business last
November to still hang together. 1t says:
1t would be worse than folly at this time
for the Populists to refuse to fuse with
the Democrats and silver Republicans"
and adds that a continued combination of
their forces means a solid phalanx of
silver forces in all campaigns from now
till 1900"

Heavy Weight Clothing,

A suit Of Clothes weighing forty pounds
would be novelty. Yet it is apparently
the sort of suit which Prof. Wilson con
templates for the average American indi-
yidual. He argues, in his newspaper ar
ticles at so much per column for the New
York Herald, that the tariff placed on
wool by the Dingley bill will add at least
20 per cent to the cost of a suit of clothes.
Since an increase of 20 per cent in the
price of suit Of clothes means an in-
crease of probably S. in its cost, and the
proposed duty on wool is 10 cents per
pound, Mr.. Wilson must calculate that
forty pounds of wool would be used in the
manufacture of suit of clothes. This
is fair sample of the misleading and alb
surd propositions upon which the free
traders build their theories and sometimes
got into office.
