SOUND SENSE ABOUT cEBA.

The present insular tariff of Cuba was drafted
by Mr.. Robert p. Porter. a particularly I'M
compromising protectiOnist. Speaking upon the
subject less than year ago. he said: THE
''existing tariff relations between the United
Estates and Cuba are abomnable and cannot
Nexist long without Cuba rapidly growing away
from the United States. IT, when we took pos-
session, had said 80 per cent off for all
Cuban products imported into the United
Estates the t+vo countries would have been
nearer together now. Cuba can only be placed
'fn prosperous economical condition by con-
'vention with the United States that will give
''her planters an advantage almost equivalent to
that given Porto Rico"
One OF the strongest protectionists in Con-
gress is Senator Proctor. of Vermont Speaking
upon this same subject the other day. he said:
Il believe that we ought 10 make some tariff
concessions 70 the Cubans and saw this as
"a strong protectionist. We would not hurt any
industry in this country by dealing generously
with the Cuhans If we take any other course

An attempt has been made TO show that the

AMERICAN WARES IN ENGLAND.

In at least one respect the exhibition In the
Crystal Palace in London this year will be
unique. Only a single country will be repre-
sented and a different one from that in which
the show will be held. That the products of the
United States alone will be displayed there is
not due TO any special courtesy, but to the fact
that the American Society at the British capital
took the initiative in the enterprise. Manufact
urers on this side Of the Atlantic would not
have had reason to shrink from a comparison
of their wares with those of other lands, and
would have welcomed the participation of the
latter had such an arrangement been proposed.
Nevertheless, the business advantages of an ex-
clusively American display are too great to be
neglected England is. Of course. already IA
miliar with the excellence of many things made
in the United States, but better acquaintance
cannot fail to be beneficial to both countries.
Nor is this the less true because Of the indus
trial competition in which the two great
branches Of the Anglo Saxon race are at present
engaged.
Although the scope OF the exhibition is broad
enough to include a considerable variety OF
articles perhaps the most significant features
will be the machinery and tools. Half n cen
turv ago America exported little TO Europe be-
sides cotton and breadstuffs This country then
imported all sorts of manufactured goods. To
day practically everything OF that KIND when
is needed is made here. and considerable sur
plus is sent abroad. At first the Yankee pro-
ducer met his foreign rival in South American
and Asiatic markets. After a time, however,
he was able to invade Europe. too The foot
hold thus gained in some measure at
trhutable TO the cheapness of the product, but
it was also due at times to a distinct superiority,
the latter merit being especially conspicuous In
agricultural implements and machine tools.
American manufactures shown at the Crystal
Palace next summer will be scrutinzed mainly
with a view to purchase and use They will
also be examined. no doubt for purposes OF
imitation. There is no occasion for anxiety on
the latter score. though. Past experience shows
that before the imitator is able TO put his goods
on the market the importer has largely antici-
pated him. Moreover. while others are copying
his old ideas the American is originating fresh
ones Thus in certain directions this country is
able 10 keep Sc eral years ahead Of the rest Of
the world. She can hardly fail to profit greatly
by the proposed exhibition.
New-York tribune., 1902-02-03

also said by some to be in peril from Cuban
competition Mr.. Thomas r. Cutler. vce-presi-
dent and general manager of the Utah Sugar
Company, representative beet sugar man,
says: Il am convinced that we can afford TO
give Cuba a concession of p per cent on sugar
without doing the least harm to our sugar in
'terests at home. In taking this position l am
guided alike by the interests Of the beet sugar
industry and by national sense Of obligation
Ito aid Cuba" still more widely known
sugar producer is Mr.. John D. Spreckes, Of Cali
fornia. who declares that beet sugar industries
here can stand n cut in duties. But perhaps the
most conspicuous sugar manufacturer in the
United States is Mr.. Henry T. Oxnard, president
Of the American Beet Sugar Company. He
said less than three years ago that the beet
sugar industry Stands to-day on a basis as firm
as any business in the country; that there was
no fear OF injury from Cuban competition even
under free trade with that island, and that
American beet sugar could successfully com
pete with all the world without any protection
whatever, since sugar can he produced cheaper
here than it can he in Europe"
Such testimony amply confirms the statement
Of General Leonard Wood the Military Gov
ernor of Cuba, that no American industry is
threatened by reasonable concessions to Cuba >
1t justifies the declaration Of Mr. Elihu Root.
Secretary of War, that the same considera-
''tiOns which led to the war with Spain now re-
"quire that n commercial arrangement be made
under which Cuba can live" 1t corrObOrates
and vindiCates the saying Of Theodore Roose-
welt. President OF the United States that Cuba
'has in her constitution affirmed what we de-
'src.- that she should stand in international
matters in closer and more friendly relations
with us than with any other power; and We
'are bound by every consideration of honor and
"eXpediency To pass commercial measures in
''the interest of her material we'll being"

THE TROUBLE IN ROSCOMHON.

Inc announcement was made a few DAYS ago
that serious trouble had broken out in Roscom-
mon County Ireland. The National League has
given orders against the paying of rent by ten
ants upon certain estates, and a reign of terror
has been instituted 10 enforce compliance with
lnat order. n Nationalist Member of Paria-
ment is reported to have said at a midnight
meeting of Home Rulers that he challenges the
government TO try to maintain the law. even
with force of ten thousand soldiers. and that
ne is well prepared to meet force with force
and TO fight the land question out once for all.
The origin of this outbreak Is to be found in
the benevolent action of the Congested Districts
Board. That official body some time ago DUR
chased property known as the Dillon estate
for the purpose of reseing it 10 the tenants
and until the time when such sale sbould he
effected 1t promised a reduction of rents TO an
amount equal TO per cent on the nurcbase
which was n reduction of about one-third Of
the former rent. hitch occurred in the sale
arrangements, and these have not vet been COM
pleted, but the board has stuck to its promise
OF reduced rents, and is collecting from the
tenants one-third less than they formerly paid
That is satisfactory TO the tenants Rut now
the National League insists that rentals on all
other estates there shall be similarly reduced
although those estates are under private own
ership and are not affected by the operations
of the COngested Districts Board. Accordingly,
under the orders of the league, some four hum
dred tenants on the Murphy and De Freyne
estates, near the Dillon estate, refused to pay
more than two-thirds of the rent they had
agreed TO pay and were in consequence evicted
The retort of the league is seen in the incidents
reported last week
There is reason to think that this IS only the
beginning of widespread agrarian and political
disturbances In Ireland. The league appears TO
nave used as pretext a circumstance which
does not offer any real provocation. That
'he Congested Districts Board reduces the rental
on an estate which it has purchased for pur-
poses of resale is certainly no reason whv all
other rents in that neighborhood should be COM
pulsorily reduced below the rate which the fen
ants have agreed TO pay. Nevertheless the Incl
dent gives the Home Rule agitators plausible

NO NATIONAL THEATRE.

few visionaries are still pleading for a
national endowed theatre in this country, to be
established within a few years. No institu-
ton of that kind is in the least likely to be
founded in NewYork, in Washington or else
where in the United States in this generation.
The Yankee is in the main a hard headed
shrewd. practical man. What dramatic art
he considers worth supporting he will support
individually, but he VIII surely not consent

not at least until he suffers a race change into
something new and strange. He is too self
