The decline in prices has resulted from

amounted to S6sO.Ooo bags. and receipts
at Rio and Santos up to date during the

for the past seven years have averaged
about 3.S5O.OOO bags from this time until

Maryland Is a rich and progressive

rich agricultural counties Of the State.
The assessed values OF the county are
very much greater than those OF Frede-
rick county We are given 10 under

MARYLAND is assessed at about its full
market value. And yet the total tax
rate in Frederick county was. In 1896.

II the two State tax rates are COM
pared, Maryland is but 17A as against
40 cents in Virginia, and from State
reports one would gather that the ex-
penses OF the State in Maryland were
much less than in Virginia. But the
inspection of the county rate OF ~ cents
on the 500 as against 40 in FREDERICK
entirely reverses the case.
II makes little difference TO the TAX
payer whether his money Is exacted
by the State or county tax. he de-
sires to pay as little as possible In total

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
The Profits of Sugar Reefs to the
Farmers as Compared with Wheat.

To the Editor of the New York sun;
Sir,-In part answer TO the attack upon
the beet-sugar industry of this country,
made by Mr.. Edward F.. Atkins, of Bos-
ton, in the Forum, permit me TO give
the result of the year 1896 at the Wat
sonvile Beet-Sugar Mandatory, OF
California. The average yield OF beets
was li.06 gross tons per acre, and the
average product of sugar from the same
was 3545 pounds. The farmer was paid
an average OF 81 per ton, or $50 per acre
for the beets. With the present duty
upon imported raw sugar, II cannot be
laid down in New York or San Fran
cisco, duty paid, at less than 3 IL cents
per pound Therefore. 10 pay for the
sugar product of the average acre of
beets produced near jacksonville. Cal,
in 1886 will require s12i. or 165 bushels Of
wheat at 70 cents per bushel, or the
product OF STA acres Of land AT 20
bushels per acre.
Good land, well prepared, should yield
an average OF Il l-2 tons OF beets per
acre. or a sugar product Of 5000 pounds.
This gives the farmer an average re-
turn of $50 per acre, and the refined
sugar, at l-2 cents per pound. gives the
refiner sos per acre, or a margin OF SIS
per acre for his services for converting
the beets into refined sugar For the
past seven years the average yield OK
wheat In this country has not exceeded
thirteen bushels per acre, and the farm
ers have not received more than 50 cents
per bushel for IL. At twenty bushels per
acre and rs cents per bushel, the farm
err only received SIS per acre for his
wheat-crop Al $50 per acre for beets.
one acre OF them yields as large re.
turns as three and half acres OF first
class wheat.
We consume 100000 tons~of sugar an
nually. To produce II at 5000 pounds
an acre will require 1.s3s.s 23 acres OF
land OF good quality well cultivated. To
buy It in Europe in the raw state and

A. Washington special says that upon
further tests of "Jovite." its high explo-
sive qualities are found to be such as
that 1t will probably be used In lieu Of
gunpowder for filling naval shells.
We respectfully submit that If the new
explosive is all that 1t is alleged to be
it is misnamed. The Jovian projectiles
were at best nothing more than anti
quated thunder-bolts, and seldom did any
harm. Indeed, there is no reliable testi-
mony that they would explode at all.
If we must have classical name for
this latest compound or substance for
knocking people and ships into smitne-
reens, and one that would really describe
it's character and its power, why not
adopt Xantippite? This, judging from the
experience of our old friend, Socrates,
would fill the bill admirably. 1t would
convey to the public mind instantly the
idea of all round, high-pressure, and IN
tensely energized explosion. Further
more the adoption of Xantippite would be
only giving the fair sex proper recogni-
ton in the nomenclature of blowing UP
agencies.

1t has never occurred to any one to ad-
wise our senators and delegates on
certain matter of domestic economy
which will also involve strenuous and
persistent "tackling." and which Is OF
prime interest to each and every one OF
them. 1t strikes us, indeed, as not
little remarkable that 1t has never en-

Rate of Tax and Governmental Ex-
penses.
(Wlnchester News.)

Last week we had OCCASION to COM
ment on the fact that the comparison
usually made between the expenses OF
government of this State and those oil
North Carolina was unfair, inasmuch
as the comparison was not made be-
tween the total tax rates OF the two
States. but based on a comparison be-
tween the reports of State Auditors.
We protested that "A comparison OF
expenses paid by the States was no critic
rion. unless ii included also the expenses
paid by the counties, that the true test
was the aggregate rate OF tax on as
sessed values.
In Illustration of this view. friend
has furnished us with a tax bill he has
paid recently in Cecil county, Md. we

NOT FORGOTT EN.

The condition of Ninth street between
Main and Franklin, so far as its sidewalk
"a concerned. still remains an object Of
'miration," If not of admiration.
1t is not growing better, but worse,
and is a standing example OF thrittiess
and shipshod municipal methods.
We have by no means dropped the dis
cussion of this matter, but until some
other questions are disposed of by the
City Council we cannot give 1t the right
of way in our columns.
If we thought 1t possible that our people
could be content with the CONDITION OF
Ninth street, we should think 1t high
time for receiver to be appointed for
