talented young conductor, whom MIR.

tant, and placed him in charge of the
chorus at Portland as we'll as some other
places where special work is needed. Mr..

M ain grandest and best shows consolidat.
ed this morning showed two special feat
ures. The humanitarian could not have
been ill-pleased with the condition of the
horses, which are rounded fat and full of
life. The other thing was the cleanliness
and bright appearance Of the wagons-in
all parade more bright attractive and
more worthy of remembering than any
such that has visited Pueblo in years.
1.-the grand entry at the circus is a
thing of beauty full of glittering banners

skilled riders. The Walter L. Mains
united hipprodomes introduce the cham
pion characters. bareback standing riders
lady jockeys and whips, and the greatest
number of racing wild beasts and genu-

IAN ECONOMIC CRIME"

The American Agriculturist has is
sued pamphlet on "Sugar," in which
it puts forth the claim that every
pound of wheat and flour exported Dy
the United States during the year
1896 was required to pay for the sugar
imported: and it justly adds that it is
"an economic crime to compel Amer
lean farmers to raise staples in COM
petition with the cheap land and
labor countries with which to pay for
imported sugar."
The Minneapolis Tribune, in COM
menting on this, says: "The mean
lug Of this is that the people of the
United States ought to raise their
own sugar. and not be obliged to i'm
port any. If it is true that ut re-
quired all our wheat and -four exports
TO pay for the sugar imported, the
fact is startling one and one calcu-
lated to impress forcibly upon the
minds of our people the folly OF
neglecting the great sugar industry
France at one time imported nearly
every pound of sugar that she con
sumed- but through the establish.
ment and perfection of beet sugar
culture all that is now changed, and
France supplies her own people with
the saccharine product aud has sur
plus for export. The same Is true OF
Germany. The United States pos
posses a range of soil and climate just
as favorable to sugar beet culture rs
do either Germany or France. In ad
dition we have states that can pro
duce sugar IN large quantities
Louisiana is the chief sugar cane
state, and if the policy of protection
to that industry ha6 been persisted
in continuously she would today be
producing larger proportion OF the
supply needed for domestic consump
tion than She is now.
IF more protection than is afford
ed in the DiDgley bill is needed tC
hasten the development Of the sugar
industry in this country, congress
should put it on. The matter might
be brought up in a special bill. We
believe in protecting both the cane
fields of Louisiana and the sugar beel
fields of the rest Of the country
against competition with foreign
cheap labor, to the end that the profit
+, this country puts into its pocket from
the export of cereals may not be taker
out to pay for necessary article Of
food that we might just as we'll raise
for ourselves"

CURRr NCU REFORM.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Minneapolis Journal says that
President Mckinley is very anxious
that congress do something with the
currency question and will urge i'm
mediate action. He is said to believe
that conservative bill can be framed
that will eli innate the worst dangers
that exist in our present currency syS-
TEN and that such measure can be
gotten through both houses OF con-
gress. AT any rate such a bill can be
easily gotten through the house and
the members of the senate will be put
on record. La this matter it is SAID that
Speaker Reed will lend his influence
for the consideration Of such a bill as
may be agreed upon by the house COM
mittee, and receive the approval OF
the administration. 1t has been re-
ported that Senator Jones, OF Nevada,
will support any conservative meas
ure. the Republicans may put forth,
and this will ensure the placing of it
before the senate by the finance com
mittee of that body. II such meas
ure is pressed, some of the western
senators who are claiming that they
are yet Republicans, will have an op-
portunity to show their colors and
line up With their nartv.
