THE RED CROSS AND THE ARMY.

The relations of the Red Cross So
ciety to the army are not generally
understood.
The army has, theoretically, the
means and organization for taking
care of its sick and wounded. But it
is an imperfect, even crude system,
perhaps sufficient when men and wo-
men did not realize what the suffering
on the battle field was, or the wicked
indifference with which the wounded
were treated by their own friends.
The Red Cross is an organization
which is not under army discipline. 1t
voluntarily aids the army, and contri-
butes material and manual aid, and
skill, where the army is deficient But
the army is unit, body under strict
discipline and the Red Cross has no
right whatever to interfere with that
discipline. It's relation to the army is
always a delicate one, because it is
not subject to military discipline, and
suggestions that it may make are open
to quick resentment by the surgeon
and his staff

There are some strong reasons for
believing that the present protective
duty on sugar will not be disturbed
The failure of the Dingley bill to pro-
duce the revenue estimated from it,
has opened the eyes Of legislators to
the fact that we are rapidly growing
less dependent upon foreign markets
for manufactured goods. Duties on
imported goods will soon become an
uncertain revenue, and the Govern
ment must look to internal revenue
for income Protection has resulted in
over production. 1t reduces the i'm
portation of duty paying goods.
But sugar will not be an over product
in this country for many years, even
if Cuba and the Philippines are an
nexed or controlled. The revenue
from it will be wanted, probably for
many years to come.
When Mckinley put sugar on the
free list in 1890 the Government had
a surplus revenue. Now it has not
enough revenue, and that from sugar
is the most readily raised.
There is, therefore, only remote
prospect Of any alteration in the duty.
Even a Democratic administration
would not attempt it, as matters now
stand. Cheap sugar is a favorite
motto on the political banners, but the
national government must have
meat"
These considerations do not affect
the proposition that industries which
depend, for prosperity, on legislative
action, are not upon the substantial
basis that the natural laws of trade
create. In looking far ahead, and time
passes quickly, the relation of legisla-
tion to the sugar interests must not
be lost sight of.

SUGAR AND LEGISLATION.

No safe estimates Of the value Of our
sugar industry in the future can be
made without some clear comDrehen-
sion of the factors that control its
value. These are: % legislation in
Washington; 90 the labor supply; (3)
over production of sugar; ca the
growth of the sugar beet industry; t5)
the future relations of Cuba and the
philippines to the United States; co
the improved cultivation of sugar cane
in tropical lands; Cd the effect OF rect-
procity treaties, between the United
States and South American countries,
on the prices of sugar.
The effect and prospect of Iegisla-
ton only, is considered at present.
1t goes without saying that the enor-
nous profits now made in the sugar
industry are due to the protective tar
if. Without it, the earnings and
profits would be, with the present low
price of labor, reasonable and even
above the profits Of Industrial works
elsewhere in this country. 1t is Iegis-'
lation that brings these extraordinary
profits
The wheat, the cotton, the corn. the
hay industries of the country are un-
protected, and left to competition with
the "pauper," or rather cheap labor
Of the world. Their profits are reguIat-
ed by the great natural laws Of trade,
which are more uniform and certain
than laws which may be made and IN
made in an hour by several hundred
politicians who make up legislatures.
The working of the natural laws are
little understood by any Of us. The
reader Of Mulhalls history of prices
sees at once that we know little Of
the forces that frame these natural
laws of supply and demand. At the
same time they are more stable and
intelligent than the shifting economic
laws of the politicians.
We have had here lessons enough
in the uncertainty of legislation. But
these lessons are readily forgotten in
speculative times. However stable we
may conclude the sugar legislation to
be, it must not be forgotten that it is
subject to a partisan vote.

Three American warships bombarded
the MORO castle at Santiago de Cuba.
No details of the engagement have been
given out.
Spain is about to send squadron
from Cadiz with 1900 troops to the
Philippines.
Admiral Cervera's squadron is re-
ported to have reached Santiago de
Cuba and Admiral SIMPSONS squadron
is believed to be at or near the same
port. The town was bombarded by
part of his fleet before the arrival of the
Spaniards, the purpose being to destroy
cable communication with Madrid.
Three hundred or more Spaniards are
said to have been killed at the recent
bombardment of Cienfuegos.
Advices say that the insurgent dis
trict commanders in eastern Cuba arc
moving nearer and nearer Santiago de
Cuba.
