When will the United States evacu.
ate Cuba2 That is a question I am
very fir, quenIly asked, and l suppose
it is pat lraI tor people to suppose that
from my peculiar facilities for obser-
v4tion in the island, I might have
some koo Rledge, or at least some pin-
ion, about it.
Nevertheless, I have no such knowl
edge aid no su3h opinion. With the
very beat viii on the part OF our gov
ernmelt, a deaire TO keep it's pledges
and leav8 the Inhabitants OF Cuba to
epj y their independence in their o Hn
way, there are many diff oulties il the
way OF withdrawal, ard whether or
not we have in the l4sE six months
maze progress toward the end, l am
unable TO say.
YET 1 can say that during the last
six months crim3 has deere ased and
peace and prosperity are spreading, or
revising in a great measure. THE,
however. seems attributable to the
~ SCCAOS " ShO OAANG0 SS2SC6 GAOOpSS
whom TIE Chief property holders and
conservative busi0ess men insist must
stay. Toe CQbans themselves eem to be
yer much divided in opinion as to what
ought to be done. Some want an IL
dependent republic Immediately.
Others insist that Cuoa should be an
Dfx9d to the Ulited States, and grtat
numbers of others seem to have no
positive opinion concerning the path
Caelr country should pursue. Tnere lie,
of course, on the part OF q mejority q
lack OF understanding OF the off ;ul
ties Of self government.
At present b oensus is being taken
in Cuba, and for the first time We shall
nave an accurate and reliable enumer
alton. When that has Eeen finished,
the experiment Of tree government by
O16ans, for Cubans, will, I believe,
be tried. Precisely "a what locali5y or
in what form | do MOI know. .rhat is
a matter for govern meat to decide,
and I have obtained no information

You have heard of the ''sugar trust"

of g clio ching trust9 l haven't. So l
bought a heavy cotton shirt. To day

one full pound.
Sugar grown in the tropics, imported
at less than 2 cents, Tefaed by the
trust IN New York and shipped to
Michigan TO retail at five cents a pound
Cotton grown in the South at about
six cents, paying no duty, manu'ac-
tured Ia this country aud sold at 80
cents a pQuadl There couldn't have
been over three cents between the
tropical sugar planter aud the sUbarctic
consumer. There couIdn'5 have been
less than AZ cents between the South
ern Clthon planter and the Northern
consumer; Il ID l!
Are you sure ell trusts are a public
damsze7
Following up this line of thought, l
weighed an unlined, all-wool navy
blue summer coat, cost S.. Il weighed
five pouuds. seven ounces. The wool
grover probably received 81 cents for
that grade OF wool at the date it was
produced. It probably cleansed out 60
per cent. OF waste, making the first
cost OF the wool 70 cents per pound,
say $1.1O for the net wool in the coat.
Between the Northern producer and
the Northern consumer there YVES
nearly s. difference. This places 50 so
per pound between the wool grower
and the wearer.
l weighed a worsted coat, cost SO,
and q Prince Albert worsted coat, cos
$15. The difference between producing
flock master and is vastly
increased an increase that makes the
sugar trust appear a mild sort Of pirate
You might weigh some clothes and see
for yourself. I don't suppose oae in a
hundred of The Progressive Farmers
readers can guess within a pound Of
the weight Of his pantsI just try at
estimating what your pants cost you a
pound and compare it with the price OF
lint cotton or fleece wool. Then weigh
them and learn what they cost per
pound. Compare this with raw and

Mr.. Geo. r Dirom Alliance, N. c.,
Dear Sir and Brother:
Your letter to Bro. w. A. Graham
has been sent 20 me for reply. VIII
say his money has ali been put inFo
machinery, and 5here has boen no pro
visions made for paying Il back as yet.
IA to trade arrangements, will say:
All you have to do is to bond your
Business Agent and have him order
your shoes. You will gel them at
Wholesale prices, whether he orders
one or fifty pairs at q time. Though
the more he orders, the less per pair
the freight will be. I shall be glad to
have your orders, and will try to fill
then TO vour satisfaction. All bonded
agents cau nave 80 days on anything
they order.
Fraternally,
I. B. PARKER, 8. B. A.
In the above l tried 10 make it per
feclly clear hoy he could get shoes or
any hing else az the lowest wholesale
pgica end without sending money with
the order. nave give3 Mr. Dixon ell
tho information that I had and an
pwered all his letters promptly and
! .ss az ees forth above. Therefore I
vas surprised TO see his letter in Tee
Progressive Farmer.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
the Business Agent or Executive Com
mittee will welcome any practical sug
gesti0n from the editor, Mr.. Dixoc or
anyone cIse tba5 will further the ehoe
trade and work 10 the best interests of
the Alliance. They hsva given this
subj3ct much thought and faaliy
reached the conclusions set forth IL

The consignment plan proved to be
very unsatisfactory, as u books will
show, and the condition Of some OF the
shoes returned Il US after being cut

To get up an illustrated catalogue
would be nice, but 1 think entirely IN

Mr.. w. A. Bingham of Boggy,

Mr.. Archer, well to do farmer
is a widower, and the father Of
three girls, the eldest some sixteen
years old. She had many suitors
for her hand, as she was fair of
face and intellectual withal.
Miss Archer had not promised
her hand to any of her suitors, and
she was pressed for an answer by
Mexican, named Arnold, who had
drifted into the neighborhood and
became infatuated with the young
lady, and had pressed his suit assid-
uously, for the past twelve months
or more.
Last Sunday, Arnold appeared
at the Archer plantation, armed
with his Winchester, which did not
seem strange, as he always carried
his gun. He appeared morose and
downcast, and on being admitted
to the young lady's presence again,
pressed his suit as usual. On
being refused he drew his gun and
fired at the young lady, killing ker
on the spot. He then turned the
gun on himself and sent a bullet
through his side. When members
Of the family rushed into the little
sitting room, they found Miss
Archer dead and the Mexican dy-
ing.
Mr.. Bingham tells us that the
officers were at Boggy, summoning
a coroner's jury.
Our informant could not state
positively that the Mexican was
dead, but it was his belief from
what he was told, that the Mexi
can died soon after he shot him
self.
