Statistical Letter

Washington, d. C. - The capital in.
vested in Iowa in the manufacturing
and mechanical industries if evenly
distributed among hundred men
would make just that number Of mil
lionaires. In exact figures, it rep
resents the tidy sum of $1O2, TBS, 103
This may not seem such a large
amount, especially when we think Of
the large interests of eastern capital
lists. But then Iowa is not chiefly a
manufacturing state; it is chiefly an
agricultural state.
The amount of capital invested in
manufactures may seem larger when
we consider that only 90 per cent. OF
the population are employed by such
concerns. Then that hundred million
will seem still larger when we are
told, as the census officials now dc
tell us, that it means total wage OF
$23, 931, $50 for 1888 working people
and further sum of $4,4S6,117 in
the way of salaries for 1864 men
and women who are employed as off
Gals or clerks. That is to say, that

A Body Blow at the Sugar Trust.

BY a vote of Ill to 100, thirty insur-
gent Republicans voting with the
solid Democratic side of the House,
the Cuban Reciprocity bill was recent
ly amended, in spite Of all that the
Republican leaders could do. by re.
moving the differential duty on re-
fined sugar. This is the most notable
defeat of Republican majority in
Congress that has occurred in many
years. 1t plainly indicates popular
revulsion that is not confined to the
Democratic party against the tariff
for-trusts policy that has been carried
to such oppressive lengths.
1.-THE differential duty onrefned sugar
is levied solely to give the Sugar Trust
monopoly of the American market.
Its removal would reduce the reve-
nues Of the government by $s,o0o,0o
open the American market to refined
sugar productof the world, and reduce
the cost Of sugar to consumers, it is
estimated, by s3o,0oo,0Oo a year at
least.
The Cuban Reciprocity bill, thus
amended, was passed by the House
The Republican leaders declare that,
though defeated in the House, they
will restore the Sugar Trusts "differ-
entail" in the Senate, and that even
If they failed to do SO President Roose-
Welt would save the trust by vetoing
the bill. But perhaps they are reckon
ing without their host. The Demo-
cratic amendment not only has the
merit of striking at one Of tila trusts
: that are levying toll and tribute on
the food of the people, but it has the
support of a strong and growing body
of Republicans who are tired of seeing
their party dragged at the chariot
Wheeas OF these conspiracies to arti-
fcally increase the cost of living.
The Cuban Reciprocity bill, as
amended, may we'll MAKE the Republi-
can majority ia the Senate think
twice before rejecting it-trst, be-
cause if they reject it the promise to
give Cuba "a living chance'' will be
broken; second, because by rejecting
1t they will range themselves openly
on the side OF the Sugar Trust and
against cheaper sugar for the people.

OMcial Paper of County
Party Issues and Party Leaders.
The Marshalltown Times Republi-


can says:
'sThe democratic party is in the
market for an issue and leader. So
far it has been unable to find the one
or accept the other. 1t has made
several attempts to create dlSSatiS-
faction and SOW diSSenSion in republic
can ranks, but with the exception of
the flutter over Cuban reciprocity has
lamentably failed in it's endeavor to
shake the solid front of the republic
cans. In this one instance, led by
republican leaders, they assisted in
raising family row that attracted
momentary attention, but this differ
ence, will be settled inside the family
circle and the democracy left to con-
tlnue its search for an excuse for a
campaign. No party is greater than
its issues or stronger than it's leaders,
and ii the democratic press is to be
admitted in evidence that party has
neither the one nor the other worthy
Of a following"
The democratic party has so many
excellent issues on which to base
appeals to the voters that any more
would be superiority. There are al
ready quite enough to prove to the
people that the republican party's adj
ministration is misgovernment of the
worst type. The Philippine war, the
atrocities attendant uponit, the course
of this government in shooting down
a people who are struggling for their
liberty, the "water cure" the
slaughter of the innocents, the denial
of the freedom Of the press, the army
scandals, the padded expense accounts,
all these make single issue that
causes the American voters restless
ness in their impatience to record
their suffrages against this despotic
policy. A tariff which is fortress
for the protection of the trusts that
are robbing the consumer to their own
enrichment and to the aggrandizement
of few men in the republican party,
a tariff that impelled thirty-four re-
publican members to rcnounce party
allegiance and vote with democrats
who have the peoples interests at
heart, this makes an issue that will
appeal to the east and west and the
north and south, to everyone who is
opposed to the fostering of trusts and
corruption in government The party
needs no other issues though it has
many. 1t could have no !, greater
magnets than the Philippine and the
trust ques tions.
Nor is the democratic party in the
market for leader. There are today
within its ranks the foremost states
men OF the country. Party principles
are greater than party leaders and
principles will endure when leaders
are gone. The wealth Of talent and
brains in the democratic ranks is every
day demonstrating the weakness of
the republicans; the latter, split on
the tariff question, confront a divided
party, the memb ers of the south and
north and west against the trust
interests Of the east. The two factions
can not be reconciled because the re-
publican senate will not endorse the
action Of the house on Cuban sugar.
The result Of this will be a widening
OF the breach, and the beginning of
the end of republ icanism. Telegraph

AMERICANS N CUBA
Hold Nearly 100000 Acres
of Cane Lands.
T. G. PALMER TESTlFIES
Gives Senate Much Light on
important Subject.

Washington, June Truman C. Pal
mer of Chicago today continued his state
ment on the American holdings of sugar
lands in Cuba before the senate commit
tee on Cuban relations. Summarizing the
entire presentation. he placed the number
OF Cuban estates held by Americans. in
dividual and corporate at 172. with a total
acreage Of ownership amounting TO 1,iS2,-
sol. of which $50, ,S46 acres are cane produc-
ing The annual cane capacity of this
land ne placed at $50, AS tons. but ne said
that the lands were not, Of course, pro
ducing to their full capacity, and some
OF them not at all
claims against the United States amount
ing in the aggregate to $4l, ,S55,so5
Some OF the American factories for
which claims for damages have been pre-
sented. he said, undoubtedly have not
been rebuilt. but neither the Spaniards
nor the insurgents could have destroyed
the land which was in cane. The cane
Undoubtedly was destroyed. but the land
must be in better condition to grow cane
after years of idleness than it was sew
eral years ago. when Cuba produced over
a million tons of sugar per season.
Whatever additional scaling down may
be done on the statements submitted on
the basis of inaccuracies or misstatements
on the part of the claimants for damages
the fact must be patent that the holdings
by American citizens os land in Cuba
which is or has been in cultivation Is of
sufficient area to produce as great crop
as the entire island turned out this year.
and this is less than one-fourth Of the
total area owned by American citizens |
and corporations
In this connection, Mr.. Palmer said |
here were other large acreages Of Gu !
Jan lands owned by outsiders which he |
.ad not included in his list. In this ex-
'luded list ne referred to the 5000 acres

him after the train had left Waldron,
and asked If he was going further. He

he was going to Geary. At Geary he
asked when the train would reach III
