THE CUBAN DEMAND.

THE Cuban junta does not relax its efforts for
tree trade in sugar and tobacco with this coun-
try. 1t has accurate knowledge of our politics
and knows exactly how to produce results by ndirec-
ton. 1t keenly takes advantage of every circum-
stance that may increase its footing The appoint
ment of a Secretary of the Treasury from Iowa
opened the way to get rid of Secretary Wilson, from
the same State. Of course the organs of the iunta
did not say that Wilson should go because as Score
tary of Agriculture he is an outspoken advocate of
the interests of the American farmer and believes in
using protection to domestcate here protaby every
possible addition to farm crops. Since he went
into office under President Mckinley he has sup
ported the beet sugar industry with the greatest
force, and the gratifying increase therein is greatly
due to his interest. But the unta says nothing of
all this Its organs discover political reason in not
having two Cabinet officers from sure Republican
State like Iowa. For the time being, at least their
cunning fails to be effective but may be expected
that they will not to nag every member of the
Cabinet who is opposed to their scheme for Gripping
or extrpating two important agricultural interests in
this country in order to enrich the Cuban planters
whom they represent.
The farmers interests in this subject should lead
them to be alert. The unta is sleepess and will lose
no tricks. The farmers of the country should make
known their sentiment in support of Secretary Viii
son, and the members of Congress should not be left
IN doubt to rural sentiment
What beet sugar means to the landowner is re-
vealed in such form the news dispatch from Santa
Maria California published Saturday The beet
sugar mill there has just closed successful season
and is to be enlarged to work UP a greater acreage
OF beets The farmers report net profit of SIS per
acre on their beets, and in addition this the COM
pany distributes prize money among them as a pre-
MUM their crop.
In Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado Utah New
York and every State where beet sugar mills are
operated the experience is the same The farmer
gets larger profit on his beets than on any other
crop, and the return is immediate and in cash
Capital is hesitating about building more mills in
every State where production of the beet is demon
strated to be successful This hesitation is caused bv
the aggressiveness of the junta and the uncertainty
OF the final attitude of certain politicians
The Junta has proclaimed Iowa as a sure Repub-
lcan State There is tone of warning in the rural
districts that may we'll be listened to- lest sure Repub
ican States become few.

AMERICAN ADVERTISING.

A MEXICAN invasions of the markets of En-
~ rope are not always provocative of animosity
In Great Britain at least they sometimes take
our competition well as our goods with a genial
humor. There times when they are even moved
to smile at the ingenuity of our methods. lust at
present. for illustration, the London papers are pub
fishing a pleasant bit of fun the circular recently
sent out by American firm soliciting British trade
for what are known in commercial circles as hog
products"
The circular says: ITO Our friends across the sea
we send greeting AS the years roll by we are drawn
nearer and nearer together by Christian Blood and
Money Ties, and may this ever be. We are located in
section that grows pig that for 1eanness and quail
ity, comes nearer to your homegrown and Canadian
pigs than any that be raised in any part of the
States We are now putting up a class of light fancy
English and Irish meats that for decacy of cure and
extreme mildness cannot be furnished by any other
packing company in the Great West. Your wants can
always be supplied by our friends and sole agents"
The object of advertising is to catch the attention
the fancy and the custom of the public and conse-
quently since that hog firms circular has caught the
British it may be accounted excellent 1t appears
however from reports that not always so sue
cessfu when undertake to please the foreigner by
our methods OF making known Our goods
Some time ago an American manufacturer Of aeri
cultural machinery sent to Germany for distribution
large number of bright Autographs displaying his
goods One of these represented young
woman in the costume of a Greek goddess
driving a mower drawn by two tigers Short
ly after the distribution several Germans stated
to an American Consul that such machinery
would be of no value and have no sale in Germany
because in that country the farmers are not used to
employing tigers in drawing their machines.
Thus it will be seen the American advertiser who
seeks foreign custom must rely more upon words
than upon pictures. Had the hog product man sent
to England picture Of of his lean pigs instead
of his Chicagoesque description he probably would
not have sold side of bacon. Advertising is an art
that must be practiced in accord with national char
acteristcs.

religion The Kaiser has sought to transform them
into Prussans by compelling them to speak German
and become Lutherans The result has been a
clamor that has been heard over Europe, and all
Germany is being held responsible for it.
short time ago a number of Polish Catholic
children at Wreschen were said to have been Sc
verey logged by their Prussian school teachers for
refusing to learn German prayers and hymns that
several of them crippled for life The parents
took up the cause OF their children and many Of
them were subjected to severe punishment in the way
of fines and Imprisonment. Then the Polish mobiles
espoused the of the people, and finding way
for redress in Prussia have appealed to the Reichstag
and to the Catholics of South Germany.
The action of the Prussian Government in striving
to stamp out Polish nationality is in itself nothing
new, but for long time no severe measures were
taken to that end that the present drastic policy
of the Government is not easy to understand. The
objection to Catholicism particularly difficult to
explain since Catholic mobiles of other parts of Ger
many high in favor at Berlin, and it is only in
Prussian Poland that any fight is being made against
the church The only explanation thus far given is
that the Kaiser has been persuaded that the racial
and national sentiments of the Poles are being fos-
tered by their priests and that it is necessary to
make the people Lutherans before he can make them
Prussians
How far Russian experience in Finland and in
Russian Poland may furnish encouragement for the
Kasers policy cannot be accurately estimated for
Russian affairs kept under cover of so much dark
ness that very little is known of them except their
capacity to generate anarchy but the Kaiser can find
potent warning against his policy in the record of
what Great Britain has achieved in her efforts to
stamp out the spirit of nationality in Ireland If the
Kaiser be wise he study that story with profit

A GERMAN IRELAND.

~ My a short time ago the Germans found in
the events of the South African war an op-
- portunity to assert themselves the support
ers Of freedom and the foes of tyranny They made
the most of it. Great mass-meetngs were held TO
express German sympathy with the brave Beers
fighting for liberty and to denounce the aggressive
British as the murderers Of brave and Christian
people Now, however, the whirlgig of time has
brought about its revenge. The disturbances in
Prussian Poland have caught the attention of the
world and the British now enjoying the satisfac-
ton OF declaring sympathy with the oppressed Poles
and denouncing the tyranny of the Germans
When the Polish question was recently brought IN
for discussion in the Reichstag the Chancellor de-
clared it to be Prussian and not German ouee-
ton, and it seems he is right, for the laws of which
the Poles complain are Prussian and not German
laws. Kaiser Wilhelm, it appears, has been i'm
pressed by the act of the Gar in Russanizinp Fin
land and has sought to initiate his example The
Poles under the dominion of the Prussian crown
have retained the Polish language and the Catholic
