next State TO Kansas. after a dozen years
trial. the beet sugar plants made less sugar
last year than they did ten years earlier.
Except in Michigan the industry attracts
no interest east OF the Missouri river
After ten years the annual increase OF beet
sugar production IS not equal to the IN
creasing annual demand for consumption
But because the beet-sugar plants can sup
ply one-tenth OF the amount of sugar con-
sumed, Mr. Burton and the GIobe-Democrat
declare that it cannot be considered in re-
ciprocal treaties.
While it is OF very little consequence
what Senator Burton defines as reciprocity.
it does make difference when he de-
clares and undertakes to prove that Presi-
dent Mckinley and Mr.. Blaine held the
same views The reciprocity which was
put into the Mckinley law enabled the
Harrison administration TO make treaties
covering the leading products of South
America. the West Indies, Cuba and even
some OF the products of Germany and
France. Sugar was not a subject of re-
ciprocal treaty at that time because raw
sugars were upon the free list, but If the
conditions existed then now and the
Harrison administration were making
treaties, sugar would go in at a reduced
duty in treaties with Brazil, Cuba and the
West Indies. When it is known that
President Mckinley explained to senators
and others nearest him that he had a re-
ciprocal treaty with Cuba in view, it is
sheer audacity for Mr.. Burton. to stand
| up and declare that the late President
did not mean reciprocity with Cuba when
he advocated that policy in his last speech.
| But more remarkable than any of the
statements of Mr.. Burton is the following
| declaration Of the Globe-Democrat rela-
| tive to the provisions of the Cuban re-
ciprocal bill:
But what is found in the Cuban con-
| cesson bill? 1t is a removal of all duties
| on Cuban imports regardless of whether
we produce the same article or not About
| twenty articles were to be admitted at a
reduction, some OF which we produce our
! selves.

! unfortunate in its of language. AS
a matter of fact, everybody who has read
a newspaper must know that the cut in
duty in favor of Cuba was but 20 per cent
of the existing duty.
After Republican conventions in both
Kansas and Missouri have emphatically
Endorsed the views of the President re-
speeding reciprocity with Cuba. it is un-
fortunate that the senator and the news
paper should take sides with the Oxnarc
coterie against the Republicans of their
respective States

There are some features of the present
labor troubles that should set workingmen
thinking. One is the very general refusal
on the part of employers to treat with labor
leaders and labor unions as such. Quite a
number of large employers, including an
thracite coal operators prominent railroad
men and others. have said: I'VE are will
ing to hear any of our employees who have
grievances and will treat with them with
committee of their own selection regard
ing matters in dispute, but we will not rec
ognize the union nor the so-called labor
leaders" This feeling seems to have grown
of late, and it is evident from recent ex-
pressions that it is now very general among
large employers. 1t is the result Of a long
period of dictation and interference by per-
sons not in the employ Of the compa MES
that have suffered from it, 1t represents
the determination of self-respecting men
to manage their private affairs in their
own way and not TO allow any organiza-
ton or committee to come between them
and their employees. There is nothing
tyrannical or unreasonable in this 1t is
simply a demand that every individual
shall stand on his own footing and that the
relations between employers and employees
shall be determined by themselves without
interference by outside organizations or
committees. 1t is worth while for work.
ingmen TO reflect whether this feeling may
not develop into fixed hostility and gem
ersl alliance against organized labor that
will greatly lessen the influence and the
usefulness of labor unions
Another point worth considering is
| whether frequent strikes involving in some
/ cases violations of contract, may not drive
! employers to the point OF refusing to make
! contracts and cause them more and more
| to substitute machine labor for human
labor. The Coal Trade Journal hints at
| this condition. In an article on the present
/ strike, after pointing out how the cool
| headed and conservative delegates i'm the
! Indianapolis convention may be overruled
/ by the hotheads. il warns them that the
ordering OF a general strike will mean that
there will be no more compacts and that
machinery will be added with much more
rapidity than would have been the case
otherwise. Machinery" it says. lis avail
able to perform much more work about
mines than is now common, and every
machine reduces the requirement for 50
many men and multiplies output capacity. 81
| These things are worth thinking about
Strikes industrial war. and those who
| engage in them should not be surprised il
employers adopt every possible means Of
! protecting themselves.

gestions an intimation that such mem
bers should be recognized as the party
leaders. Mr. Littlefeld has the reputation
or being q good lawyer who has given some
attention 10 the application of federal
supervision to such combinations. If he
has. and his views and those OF the Presi-
dent are in harmony. there is no reason
why it is not fitting that the President
should suggest TO him the preparation Of
bill Whether Mr.. Littleield has Endorsed
or has not Endorsed the Presidents policy
Of reciprocity with Cuba has nothing TO
do with the case. The most absurd phase
Of this talk about the draft OF bill by
MI Littleheld is the attempt to create a
jealousy on the part OF other members of
the House because it is alleged that the
Maine man has been selected in preference
TO any other member who may be regarded

OF exchange in reciprocal agreement
with another nation We produce little
sugar. therefore, in making reciprocal
treaties sugar must not be put into the
exchange. CuriOusly the st. Louis Globe
Democrat accepts the vagaries OF the Kan
sas senator. After making this declaration
Mr.. Burton makes the stale and erroneous
statement that no subject can be OF greater
interest 10 the farmers or the United States
than the production of 500 90. 600 worth OF
sugar in this country. This was the sort OF
talk that Mr. Oxnard was making in this
country dozen years ago. Then il at
tracted some attention. but now il is re-
garded as a stale and idle tale. In the

The statistics of our trade with the re-
Gently acquired possessions see gratifying
in the extreme. In five years our shipments
TO the Philippines have increased from less
than $4,000 a year TO about 5000 600: those
to Porto Rico from s6.775.OOO to more than
Sl0o0O,O0O year. and those TO Hawaii from
less than 81, 7OOOOO To about S2o.oO0.coO. We
are now annually exporting Sl5.cOO 900 worth
Of merchandise TO Alaska Putting all
these amounts together We sold last year
nearly S5o.co0,0Oo. Americans have not
looked for great expansion of trade with
the recently-acquired possessions. but if

large trade with them Should Congress
