CUBAN TOBACCO vs.. RUSSIAN SUGAR.


CUBAN TOBACCO VS.. RUSSIAN SUGAR.
The abolition of the export duty on
Cuban tobacco is a wise and equitable
thing, inasmuch as it removes a re-
striction on trade. The rates Of this
export duty were various, but averaged
probably over fifty per cent. on all
forms of tobacco exported from the
island. This will operate as a boon
TO users of the weed in this country,
provided, of course, the Tobacco Trust
does moi hog all the benefits of its
cheapened raw material. And this
trust. like others of the breed, is not
noted for its liberality toward consum-
ers.
By the way, will not Secretary Gage
consider this abolition of export duty
although ordered by President NC
Kinley-as operating as an export
Bounty? And will he not feel called
upon-as in the precisely similar in
stance of the Russian so-called indi-
~ SuSoi DOuAty W ftNN IL cOuuL6T-
yailing duty on Cuban tobacco import
cd into this country? And if not, why
not? The cases are as like as W peas
and in the Russian instance Mr.. Gage
pleads that the United States law on
the subject left him no alternative but
to levy the countervailing duty. True
the act in the case of Cuba is that of
our W President, but he acted for
and on the initiative-so it is said
of the Cubans and it is Cuba's W act
in effect, since MI. Mckinley guaran-
tees her independence.
There is this difference, however, to
DE taken into account when we COM
pare the Cuban case with the Russian:
The Sugar trust brought strong pres
sure to bear to have the countervailing
duty imposed against Russian sugar;
fbut the Tobacco trust in the present
case desires its raw material from
Cuba as free as possible, and the abol-
ition Of this heavy export duty does
the trick. In the one case the Sugar
tsu1t desired protection; In the Other

AN INTERNATIONAL STEEL AND
WIRE TRUST.

1t is stated that the Association of
German Wire Nail Manufacturers Is
now willing to negotiate an agreement
with the Americans to fix prices in
competitive markets. This is import
ant if true and highly suggestive. The
annual report of the German organiza-
ton Just made public shows according
to the New York Herald, that its sales
OF nails last year in the German home
markets were 22,307 tons, at an aver
g of S79 a ton, while in foreign mar
kets 1885 tons were sold, at an aver
age of less than $50 a ton. In effect,
as the result of the tariff, the German
people pay for their nails $27 a ton
more than the price at which they are
sold to in other countries.
This, comments the Herald, is "protec-
tom the world over.
Our New York contemporary recalls
that four years ago the old Wire Nail
Trust in the United States, with the
aid of the tariff, put prices so high at
home that it was possible to bring its
nails back from Europe and dispose
Of them at a profit below the figures
charged to home customers. In the
Dingley tariff the duty on wire nails
ranges from $11.20 to S22.40 a ton. The
American Steel and Wire Company,
successor of the former Trust, exacts
this from American consumers, while
it is flooding European markets at low
prices-furnishing, for instance, sixty
per cent. of all the wire nails used in
ENGLAND.
The leading spirit of the American
Steel and Wire Company, which it is
proposed to include in Mr.. Morgan's
big combination, last year admitted to
the Industrial Commission that he had
been abroad trying to make an ar
rangement with the German nail man
ufacturers to stifle competition in neu-
trail markets and raise prices ten dol
lars a ton, but failed because the Ger
mans would not come to tennis as to
the DIVISION Of the territory to be ex-
plotted. Now the Germans, after hav-
ing been undersold by the Americans
in these neutral markets, evidently see
The error of their ways and have agreed
to make terms. At least there is moth
ing improbable in the report that they
have agreed to a renewal of negotia-
tons on the subject.
All of which would seem to indicate
that it will not be long until our trusts
assume an International character.
And then the whole world and not the
consumer in the protected" home mar
ket alone will be in the general hold
up. Well, misery loves company.

A Post Office Middle.

Delanco has had somewhat of muddle
over it's post office, but the matter shows
signs of being Strengthened out to the sat
isfaction of the residents and patrons of the
office, with the exception, possibly, of few
who have had covetous eyes on the posi-
tion. The postmaster is Joseph B. Carter.
He has had charge for some time, and
nobody seemed to think it necessary to
enter complaint against the man or his
manner of handling the mails.
There came time when trolley COM
pany wanted to lay it's tracks through the
county and as Delanco was on the line the
trolley rails must needs be laid on the
streets. Some of the residents and tax
payers, like others in different sections of
the county, held the opinion that the town
should be remunerated for giving up its
streets.
Among this number was postmaster
Carter and it seems queer, but from that
time there appeared to be a notion in the
minds of some that the post office was not
being run as it ought to be. An inspector
went up from headquarters and all that he
seemed able to find of sufficient moment to
repeat was that there was some old mail
matter, like books and papers, that had
been allowed to accumulate and that the
office might be kept little cleaner. The
official character and honesty of the post
master was not questioned.
Still something must be DONE and it is
said there was a movement to install as
postmaster one who was valuable to the
trolley people, and had done them some
service in the matter of securing the fran
chise in the town. The people, however,
did not propose to stand for that, and a
protest was entered. with such effect that
proceedings were halted for awhile, at
least and the residents are now watching
for further developments ano wondering
whether good Republicans are to be
allowed to control their own affairs or
whether the power is to be transferred to
played out Democratic politician who
has been relegated to the rear by his own
faith, but who seems to have wonderful
influence over some of those in the opposite
