Speaking of the short-sightedness of
the tra-protectionist position in regard
to Cuba, Mr.. Thurber says:
Tt is especially short-sighted on the part
of our domestic sugar growers not TO he
willing to make liberal concessions at
the present time in the tariff on Cuban
products. There is an influential element
IN Cuba today in favor of annexation
TO the United States. and if this is
strengthened by disastrous industrial con
dltlons in Cuba that day will be FASTENED

Cuba and the United States our beet

than the first" although it would UNI
questonably be a blessing to the con-
sumers of sugar in the United States,
and our fruit-growing. canning and pre-
serving industries. which would greatly
develop and prosper with cheap sugar.
The issue is fairly made between the

Democratic HARMONY
Democrats of the various factions are
fairly crying for harmony these days
Richard Croker, the most active and
energetic anti-HiII leader, has retired
from politics, at least temporarily, ana
gone to England. Ex-senator Murphy,
Mr.. Cookers ally in fighting Hill, has
been driven from power and thoroughly
trounced in his home district. Norman
T +. Mack, another Croker ally, has been
beaten in Buffalo. while Hugh McLaugh-
lin, in Kings, once bound to Tammany
by ties Of organization interest is uour
in favor of harmony and of abandoning
the fight Croker has made against Hill
and the upstate Democrats. There IS
nothing to battle over at present. They
are. therefore, all eager to get together,
harmonic, and try to win a victory this
fall.
Nixon will be the guest of honor at
dinner at the Democratic club Saturday
night, and there will be more harmony

ton, with equally attractive premium
offers, for auction sales of not less than
159 and perhaps 200 head of pure bred
cattle of these two great breeds for

deen-Angus cattle, and-last but by no
means least---a contract for an exhibit
of Holsten- Friesian cattle, for which the
National Holstein- Friesian Breeders as
ISOLATION will offer premiums amounting
to S1,O00
The first three items secure the dupli-
cation, at least. of the great shows CT
the past two years-probabIy more, as
the big beef cattle breeders are becoming
acquainted with Minnesota and are like
ly to bring more cattle than last year
to the Minnesota fair. But the last item
shows that the dairy breeds are receiv-
ing attention and that the Minnesota
fair may become as famous for It's ma
tional displays of dairy cattle as it has
in the past two years in the matter or
beef breeds. The dairy cattle show has
always been a prominent feature of the
fair cattle department; but with the ma
tional association taking an interest IN
this substantial manner the mich cows
will begin to take really leading po-
sition in the cattle barns 1t is quito
likely that some of the other dairy
breeds will be given prominence by the
efforts of their patrons, following in the
lead of the Observation-Disclosures
