Il is said that Mr.. Oxnard, tho head Of

has taken up his residence in Washing
ton in order 10 be on hand this winter
20 fight any proposition for reciprocity
with Cuba His argument Is that the de-
yelopment Of the bset sugar industry is a
great factor In lowering the price 20 the
American consumer The idea Of a sugar
maGuatc advocating "a high tariff IN the
interest Of cheap sugar may be taken for
what il is worth. But if the cheapeuiug
Of the staple is the great desideratum-
why not take off the duties entirely and
let sugar come IL free Surely it viii not
be claimed that admitting Cuban sugar
without duty will MAKE il dearer. If il
does. that will benefit the American pro-
ducers. and neither they nor Mr.. Oxnard
should object. But they do, and every
consumer Of sugar should know the rea-
son why.

The Pending Reciprocity Treaties.

Mr.. AldTich and other Republican
Senators are reported as being opposed
10 some, al least, Of tho pending reel
procity treaties upon the ground that
they give the United states the small
end Of the bargain all the way through.
one scarcely knows whether 20 be
amused OF indignant at the suggestion.
Here We are with a tarin. averaging
something like fifty per cent while il is
doubtful If any European tariff aver
ages more than Oue-fourth of that per
ceutage. and when a reciprocal agree
ment is proposed it is cOolly argued
that we are getting the small end Of
the bargain.
The contention may be sound from tho
extreme protection standpoint start
ing out with tariff several times high
or than that II any other country. if
we make "a reciprocity treaty. almost II
necessity we must surrender a larger
percentage Of duties than the other par
~ does For example. IL has been stated
that the average Of the present Ger
man tarin is only about ten per cent
Under such circumstances IL stands To
reason that IN order 60 reach a recipro-
cal agreement with that country we
would have to lower duties a good deal
more than il would. because ours are
so much higher to begin with Accord
ing 10 the protection idea. e. we were to
take of ten per cent OF our rate, re-
ducing 1t to forty. Germany ought to
take off the same, which would Doe alb
solute free trade.
II we are TO accomplish anything
along the lines Of reciprocity. we must
recognize the fact at the outset that as
our duties are so much In excess OF
those which prevail elsewhere. we

DIR. RIxey.s stntcment.

Out Of a maze Of technical and IN
satisfactory medical and surgical ex-
plantations concerning the cause Of the
late President NcKinley's death, at last
there energies a straight, lucid. and
convincing statement from the pen of
probably the most competent of the
professionals in attendance upon the
distinguished sufferer. Dr. Presley NJ
Rixey. Medical Inspector. United States
Navy. has filed his report on the case
in the office Of the Surgeon General Of
the Navy. II is a model of its kind,
presenting every detail Of the patients
condition from hour to hour from the
shooting until to the end. and recording
every dose Of medicine and every NOR
sci Of food or drink administered from
first 10 last. After a most thorough
review Of the case and quoting the an
atOmical diagnosis made by DR.. Cay
lord after death occurred. Or. Rixey
says:
The cause Of death OF the President has been
made plain by the autopsy Il was due primarily
10 a UuushJr wound by a ULITry-tWO CaIihTe
bullet fired at close range, dey.t4liziu2 the
tissues Immediately surrounding It's tract. so
that Eangreue o. those parts injured, involving
the stomach. paHcreas kidney and other tissues,
followed The toxic products from tBe=e de-
vitalzed TISSUES were absorbed. and with tHo
degeu0rated condition oi the muscular tissue
o. the heart caused death, the final symptoms
being those of exhaustion
The thanks Of the country are due to
Dr- Rixey for his clear statement
statement which is comprehensive by
the Iaity. The American people have
been anxious for something OF the kind
ever since the accomplishment Of the
assassin's deadly purpose. but geuer-
ally had given up hope of ever being
much enlightened on the subject. Sey-
eraI essays by distinguished medical
persons have appeared. They must
have been intensely interesting 20 the
profession. but from them the general
public have only been able To CLEAN the
deduction tFat whatever else killed
President Mckinley. the bullet shot
through his stomach and kidneys had
nothing % do with it, The latest Of
these experts. if we remember correct
ly. stated emphaticauy that the cause
Of death was a diseased condition of the
ventricular wall Of the heart. and that
the bullet wound was not even con
tributory cause. DR.. RiXey. Oh the CON
trary. tells us in plain terms that death
was due primarily 10 a gunshot wound
by a thirty-two calibre bullet fired 1T
close range" and then goes on 10 eX-
plain the effect Of that bullet. 50 fired.
upon the tissues through which 10 tore.
Now. anyone who can read can under
stand that statement. and no one can

SiDns.
