cuba,s Tariff Retaliation.
A Washington special to the Phila-

A Washington special tc the Phila-
delphia Record says:
The attitude Of Cuba with reference
to the duties on Cuban imports is
viewed with alarm by the State Depart
mont. AS one official expressed it,
i" Cuba, by enacting very high tariff on
all imports coming from the United
States, is seeking a stock with which
to trade with us for reciprocity"
The opinion prevails that it will cosS
tho United States more to secure re-
ciprocal trade agreement at the next
session Of Congress than it would had
Ii been enacted when Cuba was less in
dependent. Somehow, the island has
managed to weather one storm of ad-
versity, and instead of pleading for a
reciprocity agreement is preparing for
a great battle next winter by which it
is hoped to win with flying colors. =.
At the present time the duties on ali
imports are so low that Cuba has little
TO offer in exchange for reciprocity 1t
is now proposed to increase the duties
to an almost prohibitive point, and
Tins bring the great American ex-
porters into line in favor of reciprocity
In exchange for reduction of the
duties. The increase proposed in the
Tariff bill, which has already passed
the Cuban Senate, affects an annual
importation of American products
worth $50, 600, 600.
While tho State Department may
"yiew with alarm" this retaliatory
tariff measure which the Cuban Con
gross proposes to enact, the maiorit,
OF the people of this country vii
scarcely look upon it with surprise.
IL is only natural that fofeigl
countries with which this country en-
joys large trade, but which are pro
hihited from profitable trade with thi
country by reason OF our sky-scrapinj
tariff wall, should retaliate by impos
ing a tariff upon imports from tn
United States. Germany has adopte
this course in measure, and no,
Cuba proposes to adopt it for the al
most open and unconcealed object {
compelling our Congress to grant tart
concessions that will enable Cuba
sugar to find market in this countr,
When the protectionists of thi
country find themselves pinched by th
tariff reprisals of other countries, the
will squeal loudly,as they have alread
squealed at Germany. But they wi
persist in the selfish policy of mail
tanning our high tariff, while expectiu
other countries to open their marke
TO our productions without restriction
It is no wonder that Cuba has d
termined to adopt the protective taii
policy in its intercourse with tn
country And the only unfortuna
feature of the move is that it may ]
flict additional injury upon the peor
of the Island Republic by increasin
the cost of their living. But perha
they reason that they can scarcely b
come worse off than they now are, al
that this move may force concessic
for their benefit from the Congress
the United States.

An Excellent Suggestion.

Abiding to the report that President
Roosevelt proposes to call the Senate
in extra session, in November, for the
purpose of ratifying a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, for the benefit of the
suffering people of that island, the
Baltimore Sun says:
Americans, with few exceptions, will
be glad when Cuba is enabled 10 trade
with this country on fairer terms than
now exist. Reciprocity will prove
advantageous to both parties to the
treaty. While our President is thought
fully looking after Cuba's interests and
carrying out rolicy to which the
country is pledged, would it not be
possible for him to arrange treaties OF
reciprocity between the American
people and some of the alleged combi-
nations which control important in
dustries in this land of the free and
home of tine brave? Could he not
induce the beef magnates and the coal
magnates to make some concessions to
the helpless public? In addition, some
| of our manufacturers sell their pro
ducts abroad at lower rates than in
| the home market. Can't the President
induce them to enter into treaty
| under which Americans will enjoy all
| the advantages of the "most favored
nation?' There are many kinds Of
reciprocity of which the American
public is in sore nesd. While the
President is affording relief to the
Cubans, let him bear in mind tha
"the folks at home' would not objec
to little reciprocity in their relations
with the Napoleons of Beef and Coal.
Here is a suggestion that the Presi
dent cannot afford to disregard, 70
there is threat of great privatiol
among the people of this country mex
winter, owing to the present and pros
pectiys high prices of coal, meats an
provisions.
Congress, at its recent session, re
fused to do anything for the relief {
i either the people of Cuba or the peopl
of this country. Cannot the Presider
prevail upon it to make move i
, both directions?

one Of the Beauties Of the Tarlff.


One of the Beauties of the Tariff.
1t is announced in a dispatch from
Chicago that the international Har-
vester Co which is the trust that
controls the manufacturing of agri-
cultural machinery--has taken advan-
tage of the recent merging of all the
concerns under one head to dispense
with tine services of 10, COO agents, thus
effecting great economy.
Now, economy is good thing in all
lines Of business, but this economy
does not benefit the American people
in the slightest degree. 1t only affects
the poor fellows who have lost their
jobs. For the American people will
have to pay as much for their agri-
cultural implements as ever. More than
that, they will have to pay these high
| prices, and look at the people Of
! Canada and other foreign countries
buying the same kind of machinery al
rnucn lower rates. The machines thus
sold at lower rates in foreign market;
amounted to about SIG, 0o0, 600 last year
OF course, there is no reason why thii
trust should mot sell its products a
cheaply in this country as in foreigi
countries-that is, so far as reason
able profit is concerned. For it doe
not sell in foreign countries at a loss
But the tariff protects it from foreigl
competition, the merger of all manu-
featuring concerns destroys home com
petition, and thus. having the HON
market in itscontrol it charges HON
consumers what it pleases. At tn
same time, it saves the expenses c
10000 employees.
Thus the American people pay tn
tariff taxes, and they also pay highe
prices for the goods that their take
J protect--goods that they could buy {
cheaper rates il they went abroad fc
them.
The tariff is great humbug. as We
as q greyious burden of taxation.

Nesquehoning, Pa, Aug. 10. IN
clash between striking mine workarAH
and deputies here last night Patriclt[
Sharp, striker of Lansford. was sho&
and killed almost instantly by az
deputy. The shooting caused excite
ment for a time, but order was soon
restored without any other persons
being injured. A deputy, Harry Nc
Elmoyle, was arrested on the charge Of
killing Sharp, and was taken to jail at
Mauch Chunk.
The shooting occurred shortly after 8
O'Clock. Five deputies were on their
way to shaft No. of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Co., just outside Of the
town. In the centre of the town they
were met by number of strikers, who
began persuading them not to go to
the colliery. The officers did not stop,
but kept on their way and tried to pre-
vent any trouble.
The strikers, it is alleged, then began
to abuse the men and followed them
nearly to the colliery. There arc con.
fiicting stories as to what actually
brought on the clash, but just before
the deputies entered the place shot
was heard and Sharp dropped to the
ground. The bullet entered his body
close to the heart, and he died almost
| instantly. Witnesses say the shooting
was done by McElmoyle, and that he
stood only six or seven feet from Sharp
| Only one shot was fired
The deputies withdrew to the col.
liery, and large crowd gathered about
\ the place. When it was learned thai
| Sharp was dead there was the greatest
| Indignation among the strikers and
other .town people, and for a time il
! looked as il serious trouble would
follow. Cooler heads among the mine
workers prevailed upon the crowd ts

Bidding for Registration Printing.
! Levy Courtmen Willis, Elliott and
Ewart were in town Tuesday. Mr.. Willis
has been enjoying y vacation at
Tuckerton, N. j. Mr.. Ewart infor-
mally discussed with Messrs. Elliott
and Willis the action of the Levy
Court concerning the bills of registra-
ton officers The resolution was to pay
only those bills which were approved
by the registrars, but it has been held
that the majority of the registration
board in .eaoh instance had the right
to order certain work. that is tho
printing of the lists. done,
Mr.. Ewart remarked that perhaps
the court had acted hastily, and he
held that it would have been bettef.
for the court to have taken charge OF
the printing and to have awarded the
contract after competitive BIDS mao
been received, rather than to ALLOW the
registration officers to give the work &c
various printers.
1t is believed that other members o.
the Levy Court feel the same way
about the matter and it would not be
surprising should that. body, at IT.
next meeting. rescind the resolution.

on the part Of the court, as the Law
says the work shall be done and shall
be paid for by the Levy Court, ant
also that the acts of two members Of

acts of the entire board.
1t is said that some of the lists viii
be printed twice, once each at tw,
different establishments. if that il
done, there will he two sets of bill
sent to the Levy Court for the sam
work. Under the courts resolution
if it stands, only those lists approves
by the registrars will be paid for, blu
as the law plainly says the acts of tw
registration officers are as legal as thos
of all the registration officers in q dis
trict, number of people who hav
been looking into the matter say the
cannot see how the Levy Court ca
refuse to pay for such work wher
ordered by two members of any regis
tration board, whether endorsed by tn
registrar or not.
Unless the Levy Court rescinds th
resolution, it is likely that there wi
be an unpleasant complication whe
the bills for printing are sent in.

COLORED REGISTRATION.

Qualified Last Saturday.

An Unusually Large Number of Negroes
Qualified Last Saturday.
1t was reported on Sunday and Mon
day that only about 450 negroes had
been registered during the three regis
tration days this month, but some
workers in both parties who have been
looking the matter up since Saturday
express the belief that about 1000 are
registered, out of total colored voting
population of about 8, 600. Nobody has
exact figures, so far as is known, and
as the registration books do not record
the color of the voters, there is no
means of ascertaining the colored regis
tration, except from people who kept
count in the several districts.
In tho Third district of the Second
ward 10 people were registered on Sat
urday, and it is said that all but three
were colored men. Similar reports we're
received from the extreme western part
of the city and several districts north
of Eighth street where there is a large
colored population. There were com
parativcly few registered on the first
two days, except in the Sixth ward, but
on Saturday tho colored registration
was unusually large in the sections o.
