ONE ONLY REMEDY.
Home Competitions IL the Sole soiu-
tion of the Cuban Sugar
Problem.

The democratic papers and their
independent" and reform" organs
are making great shout over the
measures through the house, because
that action may lead to republican
division and defeat; but what will be
the result, if that bill becomes a law,
so far as the consumers of sugar are
concerned? Nothing. The sugar
trust will continue to purchase all the
foreign sugar imported into the
United States and make the prices at
which sugar shall be sold, just as it
has ever since Hawaii was annexed.
1t is true that the sugar trust may
make reductions in prices in the re-
gions where sugar is produced in the
United States, but no one will expect
reductions in localities where there is
no competition with the trust, says
the Iowa State Register.
The official report shows that 985,-
56S,640 pounds of sugar were pro-
duced in the United States last year,
which was about one-sixth of the
5,313, 1897 $40 pounds consumed in this
country during the year. One-third
of the home production was from SUI
gar beets and two-thirds from cane.
No one will attempt to deny the fact
that sugar was cheaper because OF
the home production. Protecting
home labor and building up home in-
dustries are the main objects of the
republican tariff. That is why the
free trade democrats, independents"
and "reformers" are now joining in
great rejoicing over the passage of
the Cuban reciprocity bill in the
house. 1t is possible that If that bill
becomes law it will destroy the SUI
gar cane industry of the south and
the sugar beet industry of the north,
and thus destroy all the existing
competition with the sugar trust.
What then will be the result?
The people of the United States
have had notable lessons in the steel
country. 1t is only IL years since
the free trades were insisting that
''tinplate cannot be made in the
United States;" it is only about
quarter of a century since they were
asserting that steel rails could not be
made in this country; and they are
now insisting that the United States
cannot produce its own sugar supply,
notwithstanding sugar can be pro-
duced on about two-thirds of the til
liable land of this country. Home
competition is the only remedy. The
price of sugar may be temporarily
reduced because of the large world
production last year, but the destruc-
ton of the American sugar indus
tries will be certain to result in high
err priced sugar, and free trade on SUI
gar would not be of the slightest in
jury to the sugar trust, simply be-
cause that trust buys the foreign SUI
gar and makes the price at which it
shall be sold-just as the coffee trust
buys the coffee and makes the prices
at which it shall be sold, notwith-
standing there is no duty on coffees
imported into the United States.

rency Dill Being Sent to Over
100000 Persons.

Washington, ID. c., April 2s.-The
majority report on the house banking
and currency bill is being circulated
to an extent probably without prece-
dent. Chairman Fowler, of the COM
mittee, reporting the bill, when asked
as to the extent to which the report
was being mailed said:
ITO be accurate, I am sending the report
to 1.226.Sl6 persons. classified as follows:
1856, 159 clergymen, 1864 physicians, S3.6S7
lawyers, sc, coo teachers, principles and pro-
fessors; 16,225 banks and bankers, q 900
newspapers and periodicals. 1903 49l manu-
facturers. 2.690 Jobbers; 10000 farmers
total, 1,026.S16. The reform of our finances
and currency is, to my mind, the most i'm
portant question now before the American
people; especially are those who use their
credit or the borrowers OF money, the true
builders OF our nation, deeply and material
ly interested. Convinced as am of this
fact. deem II my first duty to do every
thing in my power to bring to the attention
OF the people full Information about SUBJ
ject which regard as the most vital Of our
time"
This enormous circulation Is being
accomplished by contract covering
the foregoing addresses.

Manila, April 26.-Maj. Waller and
Lieut.. Day, of the marine corps, who
were tried by court-martial here on
the charge of executing natives of
the island of Samar without trial
have been acquitted.
Manila, April 26.-The trial by
court-martial of Gen. Jacob II. Smith,
on the charge of conduct prejudicial
to good order and discipline, began
Friday. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton presided.
Col. Charles A. Woodruff, counsel for
the defense, said he desired to sim
plify the proceedings. He was will
ing to admit Gen. Smith gave instruc-
tions to Maj. Waller to kill and burn
and make Samar a bowling wilder
ness, that he wanted everybody killed
capable of bearing arms, and that he
did specify all over ten years of age,
as the Samar boys of that age were
equally as dangerous as their elders.
Capt. David Porter, marine corps,
and Lieut.. John H. A. Day, marine
corps, were the only two witnesses
examined. Their testimony devel-
oped nothing new.

NO REASON TO INTERFERE.
Report of Col. CrOwder Shows That
British Camps Are Not Violating
Neutrality Laws.

Washington, April 23.-The report
of Col. Crowder, who investigated the
shipment of horses and mules to
South Africa from the port of Chal,
mette, La, was laid before the cab
met Tuesday by the president.
While the report is incomplete, it de-
veloped that the conclusion was
reached by the president, from what
he had seen of it, that there is not
sufficient evidence to show past or
present violation of neutrality and
consequently there is no warrant for
Intervention. Col. Crowder will make
some additions to his report and will
go over the matter very thoroughly
with the president and the attorney
general. ~

Reeves Pardoned.

Havana, April 23.-Gov. Gen. Wood
issued an order Tuesday pardoning
w. II. Reeves, who was recently SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment
and to pay fine of $35,516 for COM
plicity in the Cuban postal frauds.
Reeves was liberated at once. Gen.
Wood says he pardoned Reeves be-
cause he was witness for the state.
The order pardoning him did not
come as surprise, for it has been
generally understood ever since Estes
@. Rathbone was first accused of con-
nection with the postal frauds, that
Reeves had been promised immunity
by the military government.

HUNTING FOR AN ISSUE.
Democrats Are Ready to Set Up q
Hue and Cry About Any
Old Thing.

With great clatter democratic
politicians have begun to denounce a
"force bill" because bill has been
introduced in the house to investigate
the suffrage situation in the states
that have adopted DISTINGUISHING con-
stitutions. This sudden eruption of
democratic noise about a possible So
called force bill is as vociferous as il
the dreadful measure were already
framed and nearing a vote. Just two
things have been suggested in con-
gress in connection with general suf-
frage. One is bill to give federal
courts a certain jurisdiction in ques-
tions relating to the election of fed
eral mot state or locaD officers. The
other is simply bill to investigate
suffrage as affected py state constitu-
tions adopted in recent years. Judg-
ing from the violent democratic out
cry it is crime for congress even to
investigate national questions of sui
frage or to exercise any restraint en-
the fraudulent election of it's own
members, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
This feverish outbreak about an
imaginary force bill shows how hard
run the democratic party is for an is
sue of any kind. Many of its leaders
pretend they are ready to appeal to
the country on a plank advocating
the surrender of the Philippines, but
they have no real appetite for ques-
ton practically decided in the cleo
ton of 1900. No fighting ground pre-
sents itself in financial matters.
Prosperity abides with the PEOPLE.
Free trade is neither new nor good as
rallying point. So the democratic
Micawbers are splitting their lungs
over the "force bill" they fancy they
see somewhere behind the horizon.
Any shadow of an issue is welcome
to the party unable to discover any
thing of real consequence to put in
its next platform. Mr.. Cleveland
calls Mr.. Bryan ian affective vista
tion," and Mr.. Bryan says Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration was "odious
and odorous." Meanwhile, the re-
publicans represent the right side of
all essential issues and are amused
by the democratic clamor about ques-
tions as yet unborn.

important Opinion Handed
Down by Attorney General.

Guthrie, o. T., August 26.-Attorney
General ]. c. Roberts today rendered
far reaching opinion, which in sub
stance states that the counties of the
territory are not liable for payment OF
fees claimed by probate judges IN crirni-
nal cases. The attorney general holds
that the probate judges salaries are
made up of fees and these fees are to
be collected from individuals, and in no
cases are the counties liable therefor.
The attorney general holds that it is
the duty Of probate judges to report the
amount of fees TO the county, received
for issuing marriage licenses and the re-
eording of the same. Also that he is
not required to report TO the county the
amount of money received for the per-
Torrance OF the marriage ceremony.
in taking dispositions the attorney gen.
eral states that the probate judges need
not report to the county the amount of
money received By him in doing such
WORK.
In his opinion many cases are cited.
The opinion of Judge Roberts is slight

this line There is a feeling among law
yers that the county is liable for fees in
criminal cases. The decision Of the SUI
