seemed to be unjust-a sin never before
imputed to this chief fireman. How
ever, amid all his cross words and
angry seedlings, he said nothing to
Lyle, who, indeed, laborcd as he had
never done before.
One evening (they expected to reach
San Francisco the next day. Edward
Lyle went YEARLY to his bunk in the
starboard alleyway. Usually he
dropped around to see Forbes, but he
did not feel equal to it now, though he
was hungry to talk of Her.
His bunk was dark, and he fumbled
under the mattress for matches. When
he found the box he struck light and
lit the little bracket on the bulkhead.
AS it burned up his eye caught new
thing. He looked again, long and earn
estly. Then he blew out the lamp and
pressed his face blindly against the
bulkhead. On his searching lips he felt
two flaming, loving, quiyering woman's
lips, and the young fireman gave and
took his first kiss.

THE FARMERS VIEW.
CUBAN RELIEF AND DOMESTIC
AGRICULTURE
CUBAN
American Growers of Sugar Beets and
Leaf Tobacco Likely to Ask why
They Alone Are Required to Bear the
Burden of TarLr ConcessIons-

In the preamble of the resolutions
submitted by Congressman Tayler, of
Ohio, at the meeting of House Repub-
licals on the evening OF March IL the
case of the opponents of the policy OF
tariff reduction on Cuban products is
set forth with clearness and force 1t
is hard to answer. and it has not yet
been answered, either by free traders
or ex-protectionists- What answer can
be made TO the plain proposition that
the lowering of the duties on sugar and
tobacco involves a relaxation of the
protection principle whose evil effects
fall wholly upon American farmers?
This is the exact truth, and it cannot
be denied or explained away You may
assert that the American farmers who
raise sugar cane, sugar beets and to-
bacco can stand 1t, but Will the Ameri-
can farmers agree with you? Are they
not very certain to ask why they only
among the general body of American
producers should be singled out to foot
the entire bin of so-cal1ed Cuban re-
1ief?" If the sugar cane of Louisiana
and Texas, the sugar beets of twenty or
more states, and the leaf tobacco of yet
other states are the only sufferers
through such a relaxation of the pro-
tective principle will the spirit of
self sacrifice be likely to inspire in the
minds of the growers OF cane, beets
and tobacco an increase or a decrease
of devotion to the protective princi-
pie? Is it in human nature to admire
a principle that works that way?
The Tayler manifesto makes some
things very p1ain-so plain that the
Wayfaring sympathizer, though he be
a fool, may read Among the things
thus made plain is the fact that in this
scheme of RELIEF the American
farmer is morally certain to ask where
he comes in. He can where the
Sugar Trust comes in, with it's nearly
$15,OO0,000 of profits on raw sugar, now
waiting to be admitted at a lower rate
of duty; he can see where the domes-
tic manufacturer comes in with his
larger market the price of the low
cred duties on competitive agricultural
products Yes; the American farmer
can see where these interests come in
but he cannot see where he himself
comes in. Yet the American farmer is
sure to come in somewhere when the
time arrives for casting and counting
votes.

What to Do for Cuha

There IS, no doubt, a strong senti-
ment in the country at large in favor
of doing something for Cuba. If that
something can be done without in
jury to American interests, well and
good, but any reduction in the tariff
is bound to affect unfayorabIy the
American products which come into
active competition with Cuban prod
ucts in our home markets.
Propositions have been made all the
way from free trade between Cuba
and the United States down to 20 per
cent reduction from the Dingley rates
Any or all of these propositions the
Sugar Trust will support. Why? Be
cause the trust absolutely controls the
price of raw sugar in the United States
and it would pay for Cuban sugar just
what price it chose. In other words the
20 per cent reduction in the tariff
would go into the pockets of the trust
THE whole fight for a reduction of
the tariff on Cuban sugar. said one of
the highest officials at Washington sis
being made by the Sugar Trust Every
body wants to help Cuba, but the Sugar
Trust is the only party that insists that
it shall be done in a certain specified
way-by the reduction of the tariff
which reduction on sugar would go
solely into the pockets of the trust
The statement has been made by at
least two of the very highest officials
of the government that the proper way
to assist Cuba is to collect the whole
Dingley duty from the island and then
return the proper proportion of it-say
25 per eent-to the Cuban treasury
whence it will be distributed for the
benefit of the whole Cuban people

General Grosvenor has hit the nail
on the head. Every indication points
to the Sugar Trust as having organ
lied this Cuban reciprocity movement
1t means money in the pockets of the
trust and an advance in trust certifi-
cates-and here is the speculation
which General Grosvenor sees under
lying the entire agitation. The trust
showed itself little too conspicuously
at first; but it has now dropped out of
sight as far as possible and is al1owin e

The beet sugar interests are making
a manfuI fight against the proposed
reduction in the tariff and foremost
in the fight for what Michigan de-
mandS stands William Alden Smith
The arguments of those who for the
sake of helping Cuba would sacrifice
an industry that has assumed large
proportions and yet is little more than
in its infancy, have been met with
logic that cannot be refuted, and SO
ably has the contest been carried on
that the tariff revisionists, who two
weeks ago were full of confidence, are
now in a panic The contest has been
splendidly managed. and must be con
tinued until the plan to sacrifice the
beet sugar industry shall be aban-
doned.
The false position that the revision
lists find themselves in is clearly
shown by an incident in the confer
ence held recently Representative
Da1ze1l of Pennsylvania. after long
dissertation the debt owe in

lessons be learned over and over every

are too great to be resisted and
Immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted People
here laughed at first at the idea Of
any one leaving the United States for
Canada, but the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
stuck to it. Their officials evidently
knew the value of printers ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs, presided over by one of
their ablest immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains He ex-
planned the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning to
night to all corners.
