adopting improved methods. because
the absent owners refused to encourage
them; the resident proprietors who
lived beyond their means or spent their
time quarreling over the low price Of
sugar. are now forced to go into final
bankruptcy, or reform the methods of
the industry. As some Of the colonies
have applied to the Imperial Govern
ment for aid, that government has pro-

The new commissioner Of agriculture
for the West Indies, DIR. Morris. has
already begun to promote scientific cul-
tivation and manufacture in the West
Indies. He has at his disposal $4,000
per year. This sum is small, but he
believes that with It, he can place the
industry on the rock bottom Of science

Those who are interested In the
sugar industries must not forget that
the British hold vast store house of
labor In the millions of East Indian
coolies, who can be placed on the sugar
plantations. They can be confined to
British territory. and kept to British
use. Better methods Of cane cultiva-
ton and manufacture will enable the
planters to pay better wages. But the
low priced labor of the coming century
Ia In the hands OF the Imperial Gov
eminent of Great Britain.
Within few years. perhaps fifteen
or twenty, the American tariff on sugar
will break down. The annexation of
Cuba will make II useless. The sugar
beet Industry will gradually make 1t
less important as a source Of revenue.
These are the conditions which will
confront Hawaii, not for some years
to come perhaps, but inevitably in the
end.
There Is no encouragement. from
this outlook, for the main industry OF
these Islands, but 1t gives full and
abundant warning that we shall be
before long in the noble struggle for
existence.

| and have taken 10 tobacco.
Previous experiments have demon
strated the fact that Texas has both the
soil and the climate for tobacco, and
the returns for labor promise TO be
much larger than could be gained in any
possible way with cotton. ~Forty-cent
tobacco will surely be more profitable
than four-cent cotton.
The agricultural department esti-
mates that 1t costs $7.O5 to cultivate,
harvest and sell mn acre of cotton. and
that the average production is LOCO
pounds to the acre These figures ao-
count for the planters loss on cotton.
For tobacco the estimated cost of
production is $2794 per acre, aud the
average yield 1000 pounds. Planters
can see profit in 4O-cent tobacco.

the heaviest production of cotton ever
raised in the state up TO that time,
the total running up for one year to
more than 100000 bales.
Two years ngo the papers took up the
subject and again pFeached "diversih-
cation of crops" and urged the planters
| in their own interests to plant anything
but cotton. The agitation in this line
ut this time was so strong and the idea
met with such general commendntion
that for time It looked as though the
cotton crop of Texas would practically
drop out of existence. But when the
time for planting came everybody again
turned to cotton, and the past seasons
crop has been as heavy DIS ever, md the
price--it has beethoven than ever.
Now the planters are thoroughly dis
gusted and realize that they must turn

CTFN EXAS planters are gradually re-
nounclng their allegiance to
IL King Cotton and planting their
acres with tobacco. Aside from cattle,
cotton has for many years been the
great staple product of the Lone Star
state, and year after year the crop has
grown larger In proportion to the gen
eral increase in the product throughout
the United States. But the increase of
the product has brought dcc<ease of
price, until the past year has seen cot
ton at the lowest price ever reached.
In this connection table recently COM
piled by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics is of special interest. This table
shows that the United States, the chic
cotton producer of the world, has quad
rupled her production of cotton since
1872, and that the price of cotton in the
same time has fallen to about one-fourth
that which prevailed in that year. In
1872 the cotton crop is shown to have
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-02-05

been 1884, 1854, 494 pounds, with an av-
erage price Of 22.19 cents per pound.
In 1898 the crop is reported at 5,6G7,-
372,051 pounds, with an average price Of
G.23 cents per pound.
This decrease in price is easily ac-
counted for When it is considered that
the other portions of the world that
produce cotton have not reduced their
production meantime, it is easily ap-
parent that the increase of the cotton
supply has been far in advance of the
population or consuming power.
While all of lthe southern state. have
suffered by this overproduction in this
their staple product, Texas has evident
ly suffered most. She has more than
double the acreage, and produces more
than twice as much cotton as any other
state in the union. At the same time
there is but one state, Oklahoma, in
which the price is lower, and but one
other, Louisiana, in which the price is
us low. Oklahoma, for her 35,251 bales

OUR TRADE In CHINA.
An American Chinese Exposition Is
Strongly Urged by Consul.
How 1t WonId lie Possible to CaPinFe
the Mnrketa of the Yang-tse1ia,-
lNiang VRlIey--VnIuable
Suggestions.

Consul General Goodnow, of Shang-
hal, writes TO correspondent in New
York strongly recommending an Amer
ican-Chinese exposition in Shanghai.
lie snys that practically all foreign
trade for the middle and north OF China
goes through Shanghai. and an e&posi-
tion there will reach the trade of
Yang-tse-kiung valley and the north.
lie says that the customs reports show
that the imports from the United
States have increased at the expense
of imports from other nntious. We
are nearer the Chinese market, freights
are less and the feeling of the Chinese
is more friendly to Americans than to
any other nationality. This is the time,
he says, to push the trade which is rap
idly developing, and if not improved by
the United States now will be lost for
many years TO come. He advises that
permanent exposition be located in
the American settlement in connection
with the consulate general, and that
its national character should be strong
ly emphasized. He points out that
American trade in the region has so far
been pushed but half heartedly, and
that the agents of many of the Amer
lean houses attempting to do business
there are Germans and Englishmen
who have strong national feeling and
are not inclined to push American
goods at the expense of manufacturers
from their own country. lie points
out that the local agent is the man with
whom the Chinese merchants come in
contact, and knowing him to be relia-
BILE, they depend upon his advice and
accept his recommendation much
more readily than any printed adver-
tisements. The consul general says
further that American firms must ac-
quaint themselves with Chinese meth
ods of doing business and with the
superstitions and prejudices of the
Chinese as well as with their trade and
banking laws.
Consul Goodnow urges strongly that
this is the time for American manufac-
turers in every line to put their OWL
men on the ground and acquaint them.

conditions, for the east promises u vast
and easily obtainable market; now

BY 1880 the Texas planter had found
his profits from cotton had practically
disappeared, and was looking for new
product for his acres when theeXporta-
tion Of cottOnseed oil began, which
sent the price upward slight de-
gree only, but enough to rejuyenate the
hopes of the cotton planters. In 1882
there was an increase of nearly mil
lion acres in the total acreage Ct cotton
planted. The increase in the price made
possible by the expectation OF the oil
had seemed TO the planter a complete
rescue from the conditions under which
he had been laboring for several years
previously, and he intended TO make
the most OF what he considered good
thing. But the exported oil went prin-
clpauy TO France, and France had col
onies engaged in the raising Of cotton,
and prohibitive tariff soon put stop

OF the southern staple TO French ports:
Then the price fell again, to a point
