THE REPORT OF a MAN OF EXPERIENCE,

water, and abundant hay land, end
the climate is excellent.
Prince Albert is q flourishing little
place, situated on the north Sas-
katchewan river. having a population
OF about 1900, with good street and
sidewalks and churches of nearly
every denomination, three school
houses, and another one to be built at
once, also a brewery and creamery.
Here I stayed for about four months,
working at my trade of bricklaying,
and met with farmers and ranchers
with whom I made it my special bust
ness to talk in regard to the prospects.
1 also visited several farmers for some
distance out in the country while crops
were in full bloom. and may say that
! never saw better crops in all my
travels than I saw along the valley to-
wards Stoney Creek and Carrot River.
In the market garden there is grown
currants. both red and black, and as
fine sample Of roots and vegetables
as ever went On market. The soil in
and around this district cannot be
beaten for anything you may wish to
grow, and besides the season is long,
giving time for everything to mature.
The cattle were looking as good cs
saw anywhere, good pasture and hay
land, and plenty Of water wherever
you go. The country is dotted all
around lilo {c1o,oIc
fuel and building purposes and within
days walk of numbering woods,
where numbering and tie making is
carried on in winter. Both large and
small game is plentiful. There are
two good saw mills in this district,
with a good supply of all grades of
lumber all the year round and also two
good brickyards with an excellent
quality Of brick. There is no scarcity
Of building material and at a reason
able price. Clothing and living are no
higher than find in Michigan, and
furthermore wish to say that there is
a great demand for laboring men all
the year round and good wages rang
Ing from Sl.75 to $500 per day, and
from $500 to $500 per month with
board.
wish to say that 1 am perfectly sat-
listed with the country and intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring Of 1900. Any reasonable man
can go there and in from five to ten
years make good and comfortable
home for himself and family, and if
any person into whose hand this letter

The preliminary steps in the trial OF the
consprators who murdered the late Gov
ernor Goebel are being taken in the Grim
inal Court at Georgetown, Ky. Six of the
creatures charged with the crime are in the
hands OF the State. Youtsey. Taylor's ste
nographer at the time of the assassination,
is believed by the prosecution to have fred
the fatal shot: but it seems - be the gen.
eral opinion that Youtsey was but a mis-
cradle tool of the conspiracy. and tina. he
acted under orders and with the certainty
of a pardon when the crime should be
accomplished.
In advance Of the evidence which IS to
be brought out at the trial it would be
impossible to say who is the most guilty
wretch among the conspirators. Youtsey
undoubtedly knows a great deal, and, al
though it should be shown that he fred
the fatal shot, it may be that he Will lie
accepted as states evidence. becs use it is
much more important that the instigators
of the outrage upon our institutions should
be hanged by the neck than that a mere
underling should suffer execution and they
go free.
Taylor is badly needed as a witness and
is much wanted in Georgetown, Ky. On
the theory that he did not initiate the
conspiracy; did not approve and order the
assassination of the Governor there can
be no just reason why he should not
appear for trial. Taylor's actions. ever
since the foul tragedy. have been otherwise
than consistent with any theory of inno-
cence; still he may be an afflicted martyr.
If he is. he oEght to come forward and
prove it. 1t is very serious offence
against good morals and good government
for the Republican leader in any State 10
SO conduct himself as to afford the slight
est excuse for men TO suspect that he
could not deliver himself to the courts Of

rule without subjecting himself to the
prospect Of being hanged for his completely |

manded in more temperate regions More
over. with the introduction of various mod
ern improvements cheap labor will be-
come less cheap and the laborer more In
tellisent This has already happened in
some tropical countries and may in time
, happen in all.
But there is one feature OF this situa-
ton. as depicted in the article quoted
which seems 2 little queer TO the unpreju-
diced eye. 1t is said That, taking advantage
Of the recklessness of the rich planter in
spending money. and his ignorance OF the
real value of things, agents and dealers
are giving him most inferior goods at eX-
orbitant prices. For example it is said
the rudest and most old-fashioned sewing
machines bring SIS; that an ordinary type
writer brings $3.50. and that other articles
of the kind sell for much the same prices.
1t is recorded that plant fui a sugar
mandatory. v hich cos. about $1,000 in
the United States, and about $500 for
transportation, sold for no less than S10,0
to a rich sugar mill owner, who paid cash
for it. Now. when that sugar planter dis
covers. as he probably will, that tie agent
who sold him that plant made something
like $1,000 clear profit out OF his ignorance
and desire for the machinery, what will te
think of the honesty of American business
methods? What moreover. will be his
idea of business morality in this country
when he finds that many Americans. so
far from condemning the transactic. will
take it as matter of course, and tell him
that he must expect to pay double or
treble price when things are scarce? The
Chinese have a proverb that he who falsi-
fes weights and measures will, in the next
world be taken by demons aud hung on
huge hooks. Chinese business morality
does not come up to the standard suggested
by that proverb. however. The American
agent who sold the plant to this rich Fill
pino is only a type Of a large class of
Americans who will be swarming into the
colonies as soon a. they can. Perhaps 1t
would be a good thing If some honest, /
shrewd young business men would make !
up their minds to 80 there as agents for |
similar goods. be content with fair profit !
and absolutely honest dealing, and prove |
to the natives that there are Americans

TAX COLLECTING IN CUBA.
a New Decree Regarding the Pay
ment of Assessmcnts.

HAVANA. July S.-A decree has been is
sued in regardito the collection OF taxes on
urban and rural property. 1t provides that
any new assessment shall be made by com
missions Of Taxpayers. from whose decision
appeal can be made to the tax collector of
the zone in which the property is located,
that official to, act as equalizer OF assess
ments. An appeal can be taken from his
decision to the secretary of finance.
The owners Of property destroyed dur
ing the war. when called upon to pay
taxes, will be exempt when able to prove
that the buildings and machinery neces-
sary for the working Of the property have
been destroyed by the belligerents. I'm
productive properties which were not de-
stroyed during the war Will be taxed ac-
cording to what they could produce under
existing conditions
This clause OF the decree will cause the
owners OF such properties either to work
them or dispose OF them. The present as
sessments throughout the island are based
on the old Spanish valuations. which. in
many instances. are doubtless very wide OF
the market. This is owing 10 changes IN
the value OF produce, and also to the
bribery of the assessors. Cases are known
where two houses and properties pay the
same taxes, despite the fact THAI the in
come from one is much larger than from
the other.

A Business. Man in the Philippines.

A recent article in the Iron Age" re-
veals almost limitless possibilities for the
sale of machinery in the Philippines. 1t
is said that the sugar mill men, all Fill
pinos. Spanis-ds, or Chinese. are anxious
10 introduce new machinery; that sewing
machines, typswriters. and bicycles are at
q premium, and that all kinds OF machin-
cry will be eagerly purchased BY wealthy
business men soon as it can be taken
TO the islands. One reason for this boom
in the iron and steel machine trade is that
such articles are new 10 the natives and
captivate their fancy, and another is that
protection to property is assured and new
enterprises are starting up in various
parts of the country.
There Is no question that American
manufactures will find good market for
many things in this and other lines in the
Philippines and the West Indies when the
various industries OF the colonies receive
the impetus which the introduction of
American capital will give. Thus, indi-
rcctly. the workmen of this country will
be benefited. both by the increased trade
and by the need here and there of Ameri-
can mechanics TO superintend the new APP
plisnces. In the tropics labor saving ma
chinery is bound time goes on TO be
more and more profitable. 1t enables the
manufacturer OF sugar. cotton cloth, or any
other article to use immense quantities of
raw material at q time. and with the cheap
labor which Is always available in trop-
jcal climates the manufacture of certain
.hings by Oriental capitalists on or near
the place where the raw material Is pro-
drced cannot fail to be productive of large
fortunes Although life in the tropics is
possible under very simple conditions.
there are infinite variations and complex
ties which may be introduced to make It
agreeable nnd 1t may easily become as
complicated and require as many appii- |
.aass OF one sort or another as are de-
