st. Joseph Gazette-H Herald: The su-
gar beet raisers of Nebraska are pre-
pairing to rebel against what they claim
is unfairness to them by the manufac-
turers, and they viii take their protest
to Washington. A meeting Of the beet
raisers will be held in Omaha shortly.
1t is understood they will then arrange
to fight the manufacturers by sending
representatives to appear before the
congressional committee. They viii
urge that the duty on Cuban sugar be
reduced. They explain that, while this
may appear to be oppressed to their
own interests, it is the only means of
bringing the manufacturers to terms.
The prices they are receiving for their
product, they claim, have reached a
mark that makes the industry unpro-
fitabIe.

The democratic members Of the
house committee on coinage weights
report on the proposition to redeem
silver dollars in gold, in which they
say: That such a measure would
cause financial disturbances; that it
would require a vast increase Of the
gold reserve; create a new endless
chain; retire silver dollars from circu-
lation; contract money in a dangerous
degree; drain gold to Europe; convert
assets into liabilities; and
would be action unparalleled in the
worlds financial history. No nation
on the face of the earth redeems its
silver coin in gold.

More subsidy Facts.

While the shipbuilders and transpor-
tatioa companies OF the United States
are trying the patience of the American
people With their unending eDdeaEors to
secure a bonus from the government in
the shape Of a subsidy, European ship
builders and ship owners are trying to
solve the problem Of successful compe-
tition with American shipbuilders in
producing cheap and efficient vessels.
The latest report Of q shipbuilding ex-
pert is that Of Tiard Swartz, a German
naval constructor who has just compile
ted an Investigation Of the character and
cost Of American shipbuIlding in com
parison with the work done along the
same lines in Germany.
According to Mr.. Swartz shipbuild-
ing materials can be produced more
cheaply in America than in any other
country on earth. Aud while the wages
paid to skilled workmen il the shipyards
are from 30 to 50 per cent higher in the
United States than in Great Britain and
100 per cent higher than in Germany, the
fact that American workmen are the
best in the world and that American ma
chinery is Of far better quality than that
used in Germany, more than counter
balances the difference in wages.
Herr Swartz is not ready to admit
that Germany viii be forced to close her
shipyards. He thinks that by buying
American machinery and by importing
American materials and enough work
men to teach the greater American skill.
Germany may yet be able to compete
with other countries in shipbuildiDg-
But he Is ready to admit that the United
States is able to build ships as cheaply
as any country on earth, and that the
only thing that Is necessary to make the
United States absolutely supreme not
only as a shipbuilding country, but also
as a ship-owning and ship-sailiDg cOun-
try, is such provision for free raw mate
rials as will encourage the building and
equipping Of new yards.
In view Of such testimony as this land
it Is merely a repetition Of the reports OF
British experts) it is scarcely less than
an affront to American common sense
that American transportation companies
continue to demand a subsidy as the
only condition OF regaining an efficient
merchant marine. The subsidy, if one
is given by congress, viii be a gift out
right to the capitalists who build and
own ships. 1t will not hasten in any
way the building Of a merchant marine,
for all our yards are already Overerowded
with orders We are getting a merch-
ant marine, without subsidy, as fast as
it is possible to get it.-St. Joseph News.

Andrew Carnegie has been telling
what he knows about isthmian canals.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Times-Herald says: Senator
Hanna has received a letter from
Andrew Carnegie, in which the great
ironmaster says that years ago he had
been induced to invest $4,000 in the
Nicaragua canal, and that he had in
vested this money at q time when be
could not spare It as easily as he could
now. That subscription led me to take
keen interest in isthmian canal
affairs said Mr.. Carnegie, and 1 have
studied the question with unusual care.
If this government can purchase the
Panama property under s1O0,OO0,OOO it
would be a great bargain in preference
to trying TO construct a canal by the
NicaragUan route"
