Democratic Assault on Sugar


Every time the Democrats touch
the sugar question, they show q
disposition to either put it on the
free list, or 80 materially reduce
the tariff as to inAict q serious
blow to the American sugar indus
try. All along, the sugar manu-
fscturers of the United States
have been protesting against q
continuance of the introduction of
sugar. duty free, from the Hawai-
ian islands; against any reduction
Of the Cuban sugar duty, and
against admitting sugar free of
duty from Porto Rico or other of
our colonies. They have taken
the ground that to admit Porto
Rico sugar free would establish q
precedent, which, when applied to
other colonies or Cuba, would
completely ruin the most rapidly
developing. the most beneficial in
dustry in the United States, be-
cause it gives more employment
to our people than any other in
vestment of an equal amount of
capital.
In the face of the protests of the
cane and beet growers, the sugar
manufacturers and builders of ma
chinery everywhere in the United
States, for the leader of the Demo
crscy in the House, Congressman
Richardson, of Tennessee, to in
troduce bill proposing to admit
sugars free of duty from Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Hawaiian Is
lands" shows SO little regard for
the welfare of American citizens,
tina. unless his party repudiates
the proposition. the mass of the
people Of The United States will,
as four years ago, repudiate their
party.
The reason given by Congress-
man Richardson for his bill, was
to break down the monopoly of the
American Sugar Co.. (the trust, }
but that is preposterous. for it
would only give them the raw ma
terial more cheaply. We are,
however, not seriously disturbed
by Mr. Richardson's scheme. a it
is too ridiculous to be entertained.
It, however, shows the snimus of
the party of Free Trade.

LOUISIANA SOILS.

IOuCO 0SsSSy
Smith of the division ofsoils of the
United States Dept. of Agriculture
are at the Grunewsld. They are
engaged in making the Louisisns
geological survey. rud have just
completed their work in the pa
rishes of Washington, fangipa-
hoa, St. Helena and East aud
West Feliciana. They began the
work at St. Frsncisville in the
early part of December, and work
cd to Pearl River. Mr.. Smith
will leave Tuesday for Vicksburg,
and from there will work out
through the country to Shreveport.
Mr.. Dorsey will remain here seve.
raj days and will devote his stten-
ton to the sugar lands of Jefer-
son parish. Both will 60 to the
Teche country some days hence.
Speaking of the outcome of their
labors, Mr.. Dorsey said that he
had never yet seen q country
where the soil was as rich and pro-
ductiye as that in Louisiana. The
district through which he had
been included some of the poorest
lands in the State. He had not
touched the rich sugar lands OF
the southern districts The cot
ton planters he had met complain
cd tina; their lands lad played
out, but he found :bst with but
little expense they could make
their lands h.gbly productive and
increase their crops b. a point
where there would be money every
year in raising cotton. All the
planter had to do was TO work on
intelligent lines, use rational me-
thods, pillow deep and pillow green
manure under to give his land the
productiveness he complained was
lacking.
THE great trouble with the peo-
pie in this State is that the soil il
too rich," said Mr.. Dorsey. ut is
too easy to make living, conse-
quently the farmers do not give
the careful attention to the pre-.
servstiou of their lands that they
should. Machinery will wear out
much more quickly when it 10 not
taken care of. Farm lands wear
out in the same way.
II found that the strawberry in.
dustry around Hammond must
give say to diversified crops. This

in this section. There is plenty
Of money in raising the berry, but
tho farmers can't keep up the gait
thsy have been going, and the
sooner they start raising general
truck products the better for them.

New old Jokes.


''Is theye any new joke under the

dotes to support this skepticism.
An intelligent Greek who acted as
Mr.. Sala's guide while visiting Athens
related to him as a modern Greek Joe
Millerism the story of lawsuit. A
deaf plaintiff sued deafer defendant
before the deafest Judge in all Greece.
The plaintiff claimed so many hundred
drachmas for rent that was due. The
defendant pleaded that he never
ground his corn at night. The judge in
giving judgment observed: well, she's
your mother, after all. You must keep
her between you"
"When got home found" writes
Mr.. Sala, this apparently up to date
triad of ludicrous non sequiturs in a
collection of ancient Greek epigrams."
There used to be told story of Sher-
idan Knowles, the dramatist, who was
first rate hand at Irish bulls meeting
one Of twin brothers and asking him,

JUST A BIT OF LIFE.
A Pathetic Incident of the Paw
shops In the MetrODOIis,

} A Pathetic Incident of the Pawn
shops In the Metropolis.
Sneaking into small shop in an OBJ
scure and poverty ridden locality, the
man who "went broke" at the races
was realizing on super1uous article
Of jewelry. A woman so poor and
pinched in feature, so marked with
care and desperation that 1t made him
feel sick to look at her, was holding
something under her shawl and wait
ing nervously until he should have fin
ished his transaction.
''Wait on her. She seems to be in a
hurry" he said to the man behind the
counter, and at the word of permission
carpenters plane was produced from
the shelter of the shawl.
''How much do you want?" queried
the unmoved pawnbroker monotonous-
ly.
Fifty cents" replied the woman,
with gulping In her throat and an
eager look in her eyes. She clutched
the money tightly and ran into another
J creature, poor as herself, but bearing
her troubles in duller fashion. She
had baby's cloak, never costly and
much worn, on which she wanted to
borrow money, the same sum as the
other woman had asked for.
The man who had been offering a
diamond felt uncomfortable. "There,
give me $50. The stones worth four
times as much" And, seizing the mon
ey, he hurried after the woman who
had just left the shop. He was not
given to acts of charity, and he felt
awkward, the more so as the woman
shrank from him as he accosted her.
81 beg your pardon" he began. ''but
here's $5 have no use for. Perhaps

from him.
"For your child" he said gently.

with queer sob, and fed into the

shelters so much wretchedness.-N

ness and eagerness to render service
have made him well liked. Wondering
If this restaurant attendant, whom he
knew only by his first name, could by
any possibility have rented house on
that street, the old resident came out to
satisfy his curiosity.
Hello" he said. "What are you do
ing up here?'
"Good morning, Mr.. Blank" said the
restaurant attendant. How do you
like my new house? I have just
bought it because think that my fam
lily will like this neighborhood. You
are perhaps aware that my tips have
been generous for many years, and I
can now afford to live In this house
