0XNARD TALKS SUGAR
WITH THE PRESIDENT
DISCUSSES TARIFF FOR CUBA

WASHINGTON, Dec.21.-Henry T.
Oxnard, president of the American
Beet Sugar Association. had an eX-
tended conference with the President
today regarding the proposed reduc-
ton Of the tariff on Cuban sugar. He
urged that such reduction. if made,
should be only after an exhaustive in
quiry into the subject. in order not
10 injure American interests. In his
own opinion a bounty to producer
of raw sugar in the islands would be
much more effective for the relief Of
Cuba than the reduction OF the tariff.
Oxnard suggested that the Presi-
dent appoint a commission TO inves-
tigate the entire subject, and ask
that representatives of the beet sugar
manufacturers. Louisiana planters.
the sugar refiners and Cuban planters
be appointed. besides a member OF
the Senate Finance Committee and
the House WAYS and Means Commit
tee. He thought the commission
should investigate two questions:
First. if the duty must be reduced.
how much may be taken of without
injuring the beet sugar interests, and.
second. whether il would not be best
10 give a bounty to the planters.
equal to the amount they would save
by the reduction of the duty.

THE NEW YEARS ADVERTISER


The New Years number Of The
Pacific Commercial Advertiser con
tains within its eighty pages many
things Of interest, including some good
---trai;s. views and other ilustra-
tions.
Th. descriptive accounts OF the re
sources Of the Hawaiian Islands make
a seryiceable collection OF facts and
figures.
Yardley's work shows to good ad-
vantage and is ore Of the best
features OF the number The size Of
the paper is convenient and very APP
propriate for a special edition.
Lorrin A. Thurston. the owner OF
the Advertiser. signs an entertaining
article on oil as fuel. and the olaa
Sugar Company receives attention, as
do also the McBryde and Puma Sugar
plantations
W. y. Armstrong. at one time edi-
tor OF the Advertiser. gives a forecast
Of Hawaii fifty years hence, in which
he predicts that: Judging from the
past and the present. the Americans.
or those OF Occidental origin. will at
the end OF fifty years. form only
small part OF the people" This is a
splendid argument in favor OF Chinese
exclusion. sugar plantations or no su-
gar plantations.
James W. Girvin. writing on the Chi
nese OF Hawaii. gives much valuable
information. one cannot read this
article without realizing the danger
threatening Americanism in these ISL
ands from the Chinese.
Delegate Wilcox and Mrs. Wilcox
contribute articles on Congress AMI
Washington.
The New Years number of the Ad-
vertiser reflects great credit on Ed
tor Walter C. Smith and Foreman
Walter Pomroy. Ii shows an amount
Of careful and arduous labor on their
part
Notwithstanding the general merit
OF this number of the Advertiser the
effort 10 adapt the national colors to
the cover does not seem to have been
much Of a success.

The proposed plan for organizing the
Afro-American voters into an indie
pendent political party is Democratic
scheme to divide the Republican party
and give the Democrats controlaof the
state. The work is to be done through
secret agents, who will be supplied
with funds from that party. If the
Democracy should gain power enough,
the disfranchisement of Afro-American
voters may follow as in the South. The
Republicans have not done all that
could and should have been done for
justice and equal rights, but the Dem
ocrats have exerted every possible in

hanging at different hour from that

different gallows. He says he is op-
posed to Social equality and that is

The Lexington (Kentucky) Chapter
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
are up in arms about the production of
Uncle Toms Cabin at the local
opera house, and they have petitioned
the manager that it never again be
played in that city. They give as their
reason that the "best families in and
about Lexington were once slave own
ers, the incidents of "Uncle Toms
Cabin" are not typical of slave life in
the South, but of isolated cases; that
the production and it's advertisement
with bloodhounds and pictures of an
old Negro in chains and slave owner
with whip in hand present a false idea
of the history Of the times to the chill
dren and are in disrespect to the South
ern gentlemen and good citizens and
their families.
1t is very silly to attempt to hide the
evils of slavery from the children. The
story of it's horrors is preserved for all
time in fiction and history and there
are many ex-slaves yet living whose
backs show the marks of the cruel task
masters lash. The incidents of Mrs.
Stoves masterpiece are too true
These people who so are much
wrought up over the production of the
great drama of slavery days should lift
up their voices against the horrible
practices of the present: time. It has
become quite common for children of
tender age to witness the burning at
the stake of Negroes who were simply
charged with crime and the impress
sion upon the child-mind is more de-
grading than even the terrible scenes

Every once in while something
turns up to prove that the Southern
rebels are not licked yet, and the same
old intolerant spirit constantly crops
out. A few days ago an organizer of
labor unions who was organizing both
blacks and whites into unions, was in
formed by paper signed by the mayor
and majority of the business (?) men
of the burg that he would have to move
on. The rebellion was brought on by
the Southerners, who wanted to be slet
alone" in their management of the
blacks within their borders. That is
still their slogan. They tried throwing
out the votes of black men, they tried
bulldozing at the polls, but there was
too much labor involved, and they
don't banker after too much labor, so
they made laws CD with grandfather
clause in them that effectually made
the black man go way back and sit
down on election day. They use the
front yards Of their high schools, for
object lessons in lynching black men
SO that the children may get the full
benefit Of them. They make their his
