able, they double or triple the price OF
sugar to the German consumer in order to
to be able then to export one half Of their
production to England and to America, and
at prices far below the cost of production.
It it this artificial condition of things that
the English government is now interesting
itself in, and which it threatens to correct by
the imposition in England of couutervailing
duties on all sugars coming into England
upon which any government bounty, direct
or indirect, has been paid.

the Union, which no matter how bad Its
system may te, he's OF surety one which
enables . title to be searched down to its
sources without interruption, and which
enables the correction Of flaws, when found.
Captain Parker in his article says OF the
Philippines, that $50 far as is known to the
writer there is not an abstract Office or set
of abstract books in the whole archipelago"
So far as is known in Porto Rico there are
no books which can with good reason pc
called abstract books such as would in any
way help one in searching through chain
of intricate conveyances, or titles. BOOKS
there are, but their value has rever
been proven to any person desiring to have
a title with as much security as would be
required by an investor In realty IN any
of the states Of the Union. For all purposes
of lengthy and logical search these books
are valueless. :,
"a court of claims should be appointed
in each province, to consist one half OF
American lawyers, preferably those learned
in the Spanish law and familiar with the
old Spanish claims; and the other half to be
composed of native lawyers who have sim.
liar knowledge. These courts should begin
their werk at once at the capital OF each
province; they should be empowered to
decide at once and absolutely, with irrevoc-
able finally on every claim submitted to
them; a penal clause should be imposed
inflicting very serious penalty in case Of
fraudulent Judgment by any member OF sucl
La Osurt. Under each court should be
corps of competent surveyors, who shoult
run out range and section lines and estab
llish permanent monuments as points o
reference. Upon conclusion Of any cast

the United States government to the right

VARIOUS MOTIFS.

All of the Philippine commissioners, il
seems, including the native representatives
favor a modification of the present order
prohibiting Chinese from entering the ar
chipelago. II is difficult question. Most
OF the Filipinos themselves seem to regard
the Cinnamon as do our own people of the
Pacific slope. Yet these quies, shrewd and
industrious immigrants are apparently ne
cessary to the economic development of the
Philippines, for the natives, like most dwell
lers in tropical regions, are not overfond OF
work. We shall have to wait long while
before, seeing our way clear to the adoption
of permanent policy.

TIE following article on the German
Kartel may be of interest to local sugar
people:
About the Ksrtel system to which the
kilograms recently refer in connection with
the sugar conference, the following from the
Louisiana Planter will be of INTEREST,"
There was prin'ed in the columns of the
Planter recently full description of this
famous trust, or combination in Germany,
which of recent years has been SO effective
in developing sugar production in Germany
ct the cost of the Germans. To express the
effect of the Kartel in few words, we may
say that the German government pays
positive bounty on exports Of German sugar.
Thiss for long time enabled the German
mani tfac urers to constantly increase their
output.
The excessive production, however, so
reduced the prices of sugar throughout the
world that it was found that the govern
ment bounty was inadequate to maintain
the German sugar industry in any reasona
bly, prosperous condition. Then the famous
Kartel was formed. First, this involves the
statement that the importation Of foreign
sugars into Germany il practically prohibit
Cd by the duties levied thereon; secondly,
that combination was made between the
producers Of raw sugar and the rtfinefs Of
sugar, through which il was agreed that
standard price for 95 test sugar, yielding IS
per cent pure white sugar, should be paid
p the raw sugar manu- 'aciuFer. 4hey 10
