OUR SUGAR INDUSTRY.

n MEXICAN agriculturists indebted to the { \ Orange Judd Company for the publication of atreatise on the sugar industry which is both valuable and opportune.. The work written by the editor of the American Agriculturist Herbert Myrick, assisted by Professor w. C. Stubbs director of the Louisiana sugar experiment station and deals exhaustively with the problems involved in the de- velopment of the industry in the United States. From statistics quoted in the book it appears that it required every pound of wheat and flour exported from the United States in the fiscal year of 1896 to pay for the sugar imported. The barley oats rye fruits and nuts, hops, vegetable os oleomargarine, butter and cheese, pork and hams that exported last year. all put together, represent in value only two-thirds of the sugar imported
 While in order to buy sugar farmers thus compelled to raise staple crops and sell them in com petition with the crops produced in cheap land and cheap labor countries, their lands in many States we'll not better adapted to sugar pro- duction than those of any other people. An acre of land in the West will yield crop which, when sold, brings price equal to that of about pounds of sugar, but the of land, according to Mir | Myrick when planted to sugar beets will produce
 from 5000 pounds of the best refined sugar in | the market.
 | By pursuing this laundering economic policy of growing cheap staples and exchanging them for inl- | ported sugar the country has lost and IS losing enormous sums every year. It appears that from 1880 to 1885, inclusive, the people of the United States paid out for imported sugar almost ST. ooo If the imports of molasses were included and the exports of saccharne deducted the figures would show fully that amount.
 | One of the worst features of the business is the | rapidity with which the imports are increasing Our imports from Europe in 1896 five times as much as during the preceding year. Almost as large was the increase of the imports from the Orient MT. Myrick says, however, that the worst and most in- excusabe phase of the sugar situation is the unjust unfair, illegal and unbusnesske competition of sugar from the Hawaiian Islands, where contract coolie labor is employed terms with which no American workingman compete or should be re- qured to compete.
 Fortunately the outlook for the future is bright | The American people have begun to study the problem and have discerned the folly of importing sugar when they produce it at home It requires no long argument to prove to a man that he is en- gagged in improbable business when he exchanges for the value of pounds of sugar the product of an that would have yielded 2ooo pounds We have only to give the American sugar producer adequate protection against the bounty supported industry of Europe and the coolie industry of the Orient and Hawaii to assure the production in this l country of all the sugar need. By that work we will accomplish saving of $Ioooooooo annually and at the time by diversying our rural products add to the general welfare of agricultural industry

 produce in court the woman for whose murder Luetgert is being tried is plain but rather robust liar. But while many are able to compete with him in this line if his story is untrue he is clear ahead in the mean-tnan competition if there is veracity in him.

The utility of the Coroner is mat ter to which thought is naturally di- rected by the fact that although he is constantly rendering verdicts none of them adds one whit to the sum of hu- man knowledge. When a man is found dead in a room locked from the inside, every gas burner unlighted and turned on, note on the table explaining why he intended to kill himself, the suppo- sition of suicide is entirely safe. When a murderer is executed the records of the prison ought to be sufficient to
