trust, they compel at the same time
the repeal of the differential duty.
under which the trust is allowed to
collect about $4,000, 900 additional
tax from the American consumer,
and if the countervailing duties are
added, that sum can be multiplied
fourfold. This legislation. if enact
ed, would probably aid the Cuban
planter somewhat and would reduce
the price of refined sugar in the
United States by as much, or more,
as the sugar trust would gain on the
20 per cent. decrease of duty it would
pay on imported raw sugarfrom Cuba.
This double reduction did not suit
the sugar trust, nor did it suit its al
lies, the administration senator's.
If President Roosevelt had really
wanted to aid the Cubans and strike
a blow at one of the great trust mo-
nopolies, why did he not recommend
the reduction of the tariff on refined
sugar equal to the advantage the
sugar trust would gain by the 20
per cent reduction on Cuban raw
sugar?
Hayemeyer would not, of course,
under these circumstances. give a
large check to the republican cam
paign fund, but the of
sugar in the United States would be
benefited. even if the collector for
the campaign fund had to hunt from
other trust quarters the necessary
cash to make up the deficiency.

The next annual session of the
Farmers national congress will be
held at Macon, Ga, on the 7th, sth
and 9Th Of October next and the
good people Of that state are making
great preparations for the occasion.
This important body Of able men are
capable Of doing much that will re-
dOund to the benefit of American az
riculture. In our opinion. however. a
mistake has been made in the consti-
tuition Of the body. The members are
appointed by the governors of the
different states, and these governors,
being politicians, and many Of them
having very dull axes to grind will
place their appointments with a view
TO revolving the stone, and for the
good OF agriculture as a secondary
consideration. Under such circum-
stances il can not be expected that
the body viii represent farmers and
farming as fully and as exclusively as
the Texas farmers congress, which
is composed Of delegates selected by
the various agricultural organiza-
tions, for their fitness for the posi-
ton. The agricultural, horticultural
and live stock associations select
their best, ablest and most success
ful members. and send them to Col
lege station and OF such is the Texas
farmers congress composed. Under
no conditions can q governor who is
not a farmer, or il a farmer, Is more
a politician, choose as wisely dele
gates TO an agricultural congress-, as
can the farmers who have organized
for the purpose Of advancing their
interests.-Texas Farm and Rancher.

A MOST PROFITABLE CROP.
Crops where the Conditions nre
Favorable For Its Culture.

Rice IS n Of the most profitable
crops that the American planter can
produce. We raise in the United
States only one-half Of the rice that
we consume, and our consumption
would be increased ten-fold if our
people could be assured that they
were eating a clean Amer an pro-
duct, grown By American labor on
American soil. Rice is more nutri-
tious than wheat -four, and when
properly cooked is an appetizing and
Inexpensive food. The demand for this
crop is, therefore, practically unlimit-
ed, while the supply will always belim-
ited, because there are only a few mil
lions IF acres Of land in the United
States hat are suitable for rice grow
ing.
Experts say that we produce the
best rice in the world. and a recent
Investigation by the Department Of
Agriculture has brought 10 light the
remarkable fact that the actual cost
Of labor per acre for producing it Is
less in the United States than in
China or Japan, notwithstanding our
wages are ten times as high. In
Louisiana and southeastern Texas,
where the twine-binding rice harves-
Ger and other improved implements
and machines are used, It appears
that the cost Of labor per acre is
only 1925 to s2.70. Wages are high
ffrom $3.50 10 s216 per Year,; but
with improved implements and ma
chimes a man farms at an average 50
acres. In Japan, on the other hand.

Republicans.

The defeat of the Cuban reci-
procity legislation is q great blow
to the administration of President
Roosevelt His attempt to coerce
congress to do his bidding, which be
emphasized in two messages to that
body. has been spurned by a large
faction Of the republican party in
the interest of the beet sugar trust,
Ii is now stated that the president
will call an extra session of con-
gress il action is not taken at the
present one. The members of the
beet sugar faction in the house OF
representatives, joining with the
democrats, have passed the bill
reducing the 20 per cent. on Cuban
products, with another section added
which vas insisted on by the demo-
Gratis, repeating the differential
duty on refined sugar. The repub-
lcan members of the senate found
themselves in the same dilemma as
the members Of their party in the
house of representatives. They were
compelled TO take the bill as it came
from the house, with the democratic
antitrust section. or take the re-
sponsibility of no legislation.
The democratic position is unique.
The members of that party voted in
the house and were ready to vote in
the senate for the presidents rec

Cuba. But knowing that this 20 per
cent. reduction on Cuban products

The republican organs are quite
exercised about revising the tariff, and
the republican leaders in congress have
declared that it can only be revised by
its friends. But as these republican
friends happen also to be the friends
of the trusts, who are the chief bene-
ficiaries of protection, the opportunity
for the people to obtain relief from
that quarter is a slim one.
