Facts About Cuba.

A timely report has beer made by
Consul Hyatt, our representative at
Santiago de Cuba, to the state depart
ment. 1t is a description of some of
the natural resources of Cuba. Some
of the facts in it are new to many
persons.
Cuba, we learn from it, is about the
size though not the shape of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t is 775 miles long, and from 80
to 160 miles wide. although founded
and settled more than fifty years before
the United States, Cuba" says the
consul, has still 13,OOOOOO acres of
prime forests where the woodmans axe
has never been heard. These forests
are timbered, besides other woods, with
mahongany, cedar, logwood ebony, Iig-
mum vitae and caiguaran, the latter be-
Ing more durable in the ground than
iron or steel. The soil Is a marvel of
richness, and fertilizers of any kind are
seldom used unless in the case of to-
bacco, even though the same crop be
grown in the same field for a hundred
years, as has already happened in some
tains are of coral formation, while the
lowlands of Eastern Cuba at least,
seem to be composed largely of fossils
Of sea matter from prehistoric times,
and are extremely rich in lime phos-
phate, which accounts for their appar-
ent observation-disclosures"
After describing the almost incredi-
BILE sugar and tobacco crops, Consul
Hyatt takes up the mineral wealth. He
says copper was mined at Cobre by the
natives before Columbus discovered the
island and there is strong proof that
nativs copper was carried across tC
Florida and used by the Indians there
hundreds of years ago. The books OF
the consulate show that from 1928 tc

TO the United States averaged from s.,

NOT 4 FAIR DEAL.
From the Troy Times.

From the Troy Times.
Judging from what has been said upon
the subject by the dominion press, 1t Is
evidently the Canadian notion that reel
procity between the two countries shall
be some such agreement as this: Canada
shall permit American manufacturers TO
enter their goods at Canadian ports at
reduced rate of duty, and in return Cam
adian farmers shall have the privilege OF
sending their produce to the United
States without paying the full duty. In
other words, the Canadians are wiling 10
match their agricultural against our
manufacturing interests. and they are all
the more anxious to do this because their
manufacturing industries amount to COM
paratively little ana with them agricul-
ture Is of the first Importance. Whlle
such a scheme may appear perfectly feas-
ible and practicable to MIR. Laurier ana
his supporters, 1t would fail to receive
endorsement upon this side of the border
To discriminate against the American
farmer and in favor of the American
manufacturer would be entirely contrary
to the protective principles enunciated by
the Republican party and that party can
not afford to violate these principles.
Protection Is for all; it Is not for one class
of industries as against another class.
Furthermore. the admission of Canadian
hay, wool barley, eggs, potatoes and
other agricultural products at lower
duty than that specified under the exist
ing Law would mean ruin to American
farmers and especially TO those living In
the border states. Even as 1t is, Canadian
products offer a formidable competition,
and 1t would be neither just nor polite to
increase the privileges which the agriCul-
tursts of the dominion enjoy in our mar
kets. The Canadians must arrange some
other basis for reciprocity if they desire
to secure the establishment of such sys-

THE CRY OF "BUsINEsS"
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
A notable but not a pleasant feature Of
latter-day discussion of governmental
policy. especially with reference to for
eign nations, is the frequency and the
urgency with which business is pre-
sented as a paramount and IA determining
consideration, When the president issued
his Venezuelan proclamation every stock
exchange in the country, every speculator,
pawnbroker and money changer, cried
aloud in horror and alarm. 1t was going
20 ruin business, forsooth! Much better
let Venezuela be cheated. bullied, and
cajoled out of her property, much better
connive at the desecration of the Monroe
doctrine much better accept national dis
honor and disgrace, than ruiiie the small
est feather on the wing of business"
The same cry has been raised In the
Cuban affair. 1t will never do to inter-
fere or even protest against the carnival
of barbarism now raging in that unhappy
island Let the hurly y-burly go and think
alone of business Honor, patriotism,
humanity, sacred obligatlon-these are
nothing. business IS the sod OF our
iloatry.
If we did not know just where this
clamor comes from by what influences it
is inspired, and for what purpose ii is
raised, wc might for a moment entertain
the humiliating fear that the American
people were becoming unnamed ana ef-
fete. We might begin to wonder whether
or not some considerable public sentiment
could be ready to exchange the nations
dignity for gold. We are sure, however
that 1t is only the loud cry of the sordid
few against the manhood and the patri-
otism of the silent but IA smendous multi
tude. We are sure that IT, country viii
never countenance the subordination of
its honor to business We are sure

SBOSSISM.s
From the Troy Times.


1t is no indictment of a cause that it
consents to leadership. 1t will be a futile
party that is not unified by a central
direction The capacity of a leader is de-
termined by the success of his followers
Loyalty to the standard gathers about
him who can bear ii highest and farthest
and does not seize the staff and tumble
banner and contenders in common deSra-
dation. Carpers al a successful master of
events are those whose envy is matched
by their ncompetency and whose loyalty
to the cause shrinks before their fealty
to self There may be differences of
method; there may be even mistakes of
Judgment. The best intention is some
times foiled, the most cherished plan dis
concerted or the most trusted servant dis
credited But on the huge field of pollt-
cal action organization, ana compact or
ganiZaton, is as necessary as is central
lied discipline to an army. doublehead-
ed party, like doublemnded man. is ln-
stable in all it's ways. The minor mis-
takes time and experience will correct. but
there must be united progress, and that
means a commander-in-chief. The mo-
ment that a man of capacity and earnest
ness takes the place of direction which is
perhaps more vital to his party's success
than necessary for his personal advance
ment, the tongue of detraction begins to
wag. Envy is the business of weak ma
lures, and a bitter tongue is often the
companion of an Unbalanced mind. But
the public ear, which has many times been
too quick to listen to aspersions of the
peoples henefactors, finally tires of the
epithets, and the public eye discerns that
the so-caled boss" by unifying ihe
forces that have stood for righteousness,
has been doing the peoples work and de-
serving the popular praise.

REDEEM THE PLEDGES.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The time has come when there must be
the absolute separation of both official
power and money from political control
in both city and state. 1t can be done
only by the enactment of such laws as
will make the man who attempts to at
tain political position corruptly, end in
the penitentiary, and the laws should be
so complete in their provisions as TO
bring within its penalties not only the
suDordinates who use money corruptly,
but the principals who furnish it. The
man who uses corruption funds in politics
is usually a hired creature and the men
who are legally and morally responsible
for this debauchery and liberalization
are those who furnish the money for their
own advancement. This corrupt use OF
money in politics must end.
1t is not only the right, but it is the
duty of prominent men in both public and
private life, to exert their influence wise
ly and honestly to attain political ends;
but when such men attempt to secure
following by the promise of political pat
ronage, or by the use of money even
under the latitudinous specification of
legitimate expenses, they should be called
to account for debauchery of our politi-
cal system and striking al the very foun-
tain of free government There are leglti-
mate expenses in politics which every IN
teligent citizen well understands, but
which few political leaders of the present
day respect. Any contribution of money
to political candidate that involves an
expressed or implied contract to serve the
personal ends of the giver, is just as cor
pupt as the direct purchase of a vote of
a legislator and should be so treated by
the laws and all subordinate municipal
officials should be prohibited from max
ing political contributions, voluntarily or
otherwise, under penalty of being dis
missed from official place.
The state treasury has long been a
source of political power and demoraliZa-
ton. Its balance of millions is used
largely as a corruption fund by making
deposits where they will do the most
good for those who happen to have the
control; and the state would end all this
debauchery by providing that the surplus
in the treasury shall be placed at inter
est in responsible banking repositories to
be indicated by some competent authority
Under sEch a law there would be no
temptation on the part of any political
control of the treasury to endanger the
safety of the public funds In the interest
of politics
pledge given to the people of Pennsylva-
MIA for thorough, radical reform by the
exclusion of money and official power
from politics, must be fulfilled. Let it be
done promptly and completely.

THE SCOLD.

It's scold! scold! scold!
When the morning skies are gray;
And it's scod! scold scold!
To the last dim blink of day.
And the hard names fly around
Traitor" and "liar" and Cheat"
Till the air is blue and the moon is red
With the riot on Exchange street.
It's scold! scold. scold!
At show-hous and church and hall,
It's scold! scold! scold
AT good and bad and all.
The play is rotten and dull,
The preacher is prosy and cold;
The berry basket Is never full,
And the bird, not the bottle, is old.
It's scold! scold! scold!
At everything that wins:
It's scold! scold! scold!
Success is the worst of sins;
And leaders all are thieves
And parties are frauds and snares,
And the scold goes on as the wind goes By
And there's never a soul that cares.

shipping one cargo, the business was
closed up by the insurgents. In Consul
Hyatts opinion this will prove a valu-
able industry as soon as peace is re-
stored.
The case in brief is that Cuba, for its
size, is the most valuable bit of ter
rltory on the globe. That Spain does
not wish to part with 1t is natural. 1t
is just as natural that Americans
should not wish to see so valuable IA
