The police jury thought wise to
go into constructing steel bridges,
but they never thought that steel
and iron we're liable to rust, and
at this time if the members of that
body would pay a visit or make an
inspection of the st. Martinville
bridge, they would see that this
bridge is all rusty and is scaling
of, and unless good care is taken
of it, it will not last the life of a
wooden bridge, and yet they have
contracted for two more iron
bridges, one for Bresux Bridge,
and one for Bulliard. An iron
bridge has to be kept from rus
ting, and to do this, it requires
frequent painting, unless this is
done, iron bridges will prove a
costly experience.

Porto Rico and the Sugar Industry
The report Of the special agen,
of the Agricultural Department
sent some time ago to Porto Rice
to investigate the sugar industry
of that island, and to determine
its relation with the beet sugar in
dustry in this country is causing in
terest among treasury officials and
manufacturers. It is said that su-
gar in Porto Rico can be raised
for 2 cents pound of the same
standard that will cost beets sugar
producers in the United States 81
cents to manufacture. In view of
this fact, it is thought by custom
authorities that the tariff of the
United States on sugar products
of the West Indies must be retain
ed against those products or the
beet sugar industry will be des-
troyed. The sugar production of
Porto Rico in itself could not do
this, as it is said that only about 3
per cent of the sugar consumption
of the United States is brought
from that island and under the
most favorable circumstances
could not supply more than 81 per
cent of the amount required for
consumption; but the product of |
Cuba and the Philippines, how
ever, could be made so large as to
determine the ruling price of su-
gar in this country. The reason
Tor the low price of sugar produc-
ion in Porto Rico is the extreme.
y low rates of wages, and also the
small cost of living. Five cents a
lay is large price for the food of
! Porto Rican laborer, and the
'ugar factories of that country
eed their own employees and
'harge only z cents a day per man
or food. While it is thought that
he labor of one man in the beet
ugar industry of the United Sta
es is worth three of that of the
'orto Rican sugar producer, it
an readily be seen that it would
70 impossible for the laborers of
he United States to compete with d!
'orto Ricans in the production
sugar, and perhaps all other
gricultural products. -Grocers'
