OUR PROPOSED BEET-SUGAR IN
DUSTRY.

--
The worlds stock of sugar which on
August l, 1894. was l,OS7, 766 tons, had
increased, by August l, 1897, to $751;
800 tons.
In the face of such oversupply and
of ruinous prices, the United States
the largest consuming country in the
world-proposes to establish the new
industry and to produce its own sugar.
With the experience Of European coun-
tries in artitically fostering an indus.
try to a point beyond the natural law
Of supply and demand, is it wise for US
to enter upon a similar policy? With
the present duty, ranging from so to
100 per cent, imposed for the purpose
of protecting an industry thai does no,
as yet, to any extent, exist, and with
the experience of our past sugar legis-
lation-duties having been changed
with nearly ever incoming admins .ra-
ton. and varying between two and a
gals to free raw sugars-will capital
be attracted to the new industry?
Figures show tnat our exports to
those countries from which we are buy.
ing sugar reach the enormous sum Of
$219, 70S, G53; and an analysis would
prove the larger part of these exports
to be of agricultural products. The i'm,
portance of the sugar industry to these
countries is indicated by the fact that
OF our total imports from them, mors
than 25 per cent is of this article. AS
the cane-sugar countries have, practi,
cally, only the United States and the
English markets left to them, they
would be involved in utter ruin, If the
former should be lost to them. Under
these circumstances. they would not
be able to pay us for such purchases
as they might wish to make; and the
European countries, unable to sell US
sugar, would turn their attention large
~ to the production of such a%gricult-
ural products as they are now taking
from us.
II u farmers should produce beets
at the sacrifice of their market fo,
wheat. corn, beef, pork products, etc,
where would be their gain?
With wheat at a dollar a bushel. lit.
tie thought is given to the future. But
we should not forget that the present
scarcity in Europe is owing, partly, to
the neglect of this industry abroad
reduced planting resulting from low
prices IN the past. While sugar SOW.
ings have increased, the sowings of
wheat have been neglected. Now that
conditions are reversed, will there not
be a tendency abroad to increase the
wheat sowings? And will not a pol

A PROTECTION FACT.

In his annual report to the state de-
partment Consul Braker, at Birming-
ham, England, draws attention to tho
fact thai American competition with
British trade in the British colonies is
growing more and more formidable.
In such lines of manufacture as brass
goods, lamps, clocks and watches, glass
and glassware, lead and its manufac-
lures, steel rails, iron and steel plates
and sheets, wire. printing presses, type
writer's, nickel, tin and zinc, the col
onial markets were until recently al
most entirely monopolized by British
Of the articles named, and, in addi-
ton. cotton goods. leather and leather
goods, boots. shoes and furniture, all
find their way from the United States
to the outlying portions of the United
Kingdom in quantities so large and so
steadily increasing that the British
manufacturers are wondering if they
are to be wholly shut out by Yankee
enterprise.
All this involves a vast amoun of
sorrow and trouble to the theorists
who have so long maintained that sue,
cessful competition in the worlds mar
kets was only possible under condi.
tons of absolute free trade. At this
rate a dozen years of uninterrupted
protection in the United States will ups
set pretty much all Of the old stand
ards and consign to the waste basket a
large bundle of doctrines that have
outlived their usefulness. Nothing
succeeds like success; nothing is so
convincing and so unanswerable as a
fact. COntrol of the home market and
prosperous competition in the markets

Mrs Mack WIN rake tho stand Again.,
Martin Thorn


NEW YoRK, Nov TO- Emanuel
Friend, counsel for Mrs Augusta
Mack, announced last night that his
client had made a full confession and
would 90 on the witness stand to-day
against Thorn. He would give no
further particulars.
Until yesterday she had not uttered a
word that would iaeriminate herself.
She had withstood the efforts made by
the police to extort from her an ad-
mission that she had killed William
Guidensuppe, or that she had planned
his death and lured him to Woodside,
l.. l., where Martin Thorn actually
did the shooting.
The woman had been subjected TO
the thirty-third degree by the police
to every known method of tor ment
She had been confronted with the
horrid masses OF flesh; she had been
coaxed, wheedled and threatened.
The promise of life had been held out
to her as a reward for n few word S
that would surely result in Thorn S
execution She had remained firm
during her Imprisonment at police
headquarters At all hours of the day
and night she had been besiePed, but
She had kept her own counsel.
Now she coufesses, by what direct
influence is not known
The story that Mrs Mack has told
and that she will be called upon to re-
peat to the jury is full OF dramatic in
terest. She has described at great
length her life with Guldensuppe in
the little fat on Ninth avenue, near
Thirty-fourth street She quarreled
with him frequently after Thorn APP
lpeared on the scene Guldensuppe was
violent, and TO rid themselves of him
She and Thorn determined to kill
him. She induced him to go tc
Woodside to inspect a cottage which
she had hired, as she told him, to con-
duet her business rs midwife. She
sent him upstairs alone, and when she
heard shots she knew that Thorn had
carried out his promise.
The greatest difficulty was to oblit'
crate the traces of murder The only
plan that appeared safe and sure was
TO cut the remains into fragments
small enough TO be carted away with
out suspicion. When the packages
had been prepared Mrs, Mack anC
Thorn hired a surrey in this city and
drove to Woodside. They threw som,
of their bundles in the East river
but were then frightened by the ap
proach of deck hands on the ferryboa

STARTLING TRAGEDY AT
CARSON, NEV.
ie-YEAR-oLD BOYS CRIME.
A. Jones Murdered by Julian GuinaR
for Paying Attentions to His
slster-Had Been warned
Before by the Father
of the Girl.

CARSON, New. Nov. 10 1.-The entire
state was startled and shocked at the
murder late yesterday afternoon of
Charles A. Jones, United States dis
trict attorney, by Julian Guinan, the
l6-year-old son of a we'll known local
physician.
At first 1t was supposed that Jones
had committed suicide, but no weapon
being found on his person or near the
scene of the shooting, it became evil
dent that his death had been caused
by another and an hour later young
Guinan surrendered himself at the
sheriff's Office and confessed to the
killing.
The statement of the youth, who is
now in Jail, is TO the effect that inn
mediately prior TO the shooting he
had observed his sister talking TO
Jones, with whom his father had
forbidden association. when he saw
DR.. Guinan approaching Believing
trouble 20 be inevitable when the two
men should meet, the boy procured a
Winchester rife and stationed himself
at n window for the purpose, as he
ays, of protecting his father.
Upon cncountering Jones, Dr. Gui.
nan said to him: "This is the last time
shall ever warn you against keeping
company with my daughter"
Jones jeered at the doctor in com
ment upon this warning, and slipped
his hand into his right hand pocket
Julian states that having heard hii
father threaten to kill Jones. and hav
ing been informed that the district at
| torney always carried a revolver
| which he believed from Jones motor
was about to be drawn, the boy free
at Jones in anticipation of an attacl
upon his father.
Jones fell forward dead, the bulle
from the rifle having entered abov,
the right eye and PASSED out at tn,
neck behind.
Miss Guinan, seeing Jones fall
threw herself upon him and embraced
the dead body.
When the coroner took charge o
the remains Jones hand was still il
his pocket, but no weapon was found
Jones was about 3S years old, wa
married and left widow and chile
at his home in Reno, whence he cam
yesterday morning on official bust
ness He was necessarily in Carson
part Of his time. and while here hi
attentions to the girl occasioned s.
much talk that DR. Guinan had beei
aggravated into making the threat
against Jones which indirectly led t
the murder by the doctors son.
