THE RUBBER BUSINESS.
More Than so Million Pounds Imported
Into United States Last Year.


Special to Times Republican.
Washington. Oct 12.-More than so
million pounds OF India rubber, valued
ut more than 80 million dollars, was
imported into the United States last
year. In 1890 the quantity was only
33 million pounds, in 1880. 16 millions,
in 1870. Q millions. and in 1862. the
earliest date at which 1t was separate
ly shown in the import statements, was
only 2,125,561 pounds. This very rapid
growth In the importation OF crude In
dia rubber is of course due to the great
increase In its Use in manufacturing.
both as to rubber garments, shoes, etc,
and its use in machinery and as tires
for vehicles. Over 100 million dollars
worth OF manufactures from India rub
Der are now turned out from the fac
tories of the country every year. and
about half of this total is in the form
of boots and shoes. So great Is the
demand of India rubber for use in man
ufacturing that not only has the inn
portation grown from million pounds
in 1862 to over so millions annually
at the present period but in addition
to this the forests of the East Indies
are called upon for several million
pounds annually OF new substitute
for guttapercha. known as "gutta-
jooia.ong," while at the same time the
highways and byways of Europe and
other countries are ransacked for cast
off rubber manufactures from which
the rubber is reclaimed" and reused in
conjunction with the new rubber from
the forests OF Brazil, Africa, and the
East Indies.

China Losing Tea Trade.

India has steered the other course.
No pains or expense have been spared
to increase the quality and quantity OF

In spite of this, and by reason of

As to Mobs.

You can't punish a mob unless you
punish it while ii is a mob. A man Is
not the same man when he is In mob
as he is while he is an individual. and
this is one reason why it is so difficole
ever to punish an individual for what
he did as a part OF a mob. This dis
tinction is not fanc6ul-it Is a real DIFF
ference; and public sentiment ana
prosecuting officers and juries recog-
p:ze it, whether they know 1t or not
For this reason 1t is generally useless
to hope for the punishment OF men at
ter the mob was dispersed. and Profess
sor James remedy of hanging promi-
nent citizens has the generally fatal de-
feet of impracticability.

county and the grand jury refused to
lend itself to any scheme Of personal
revenge in Des Moines. But in Jasper
county the grand jury bit readily at the

on motion of the prosecuting attorney
of the county.
Since the first publication in this
correspondence that it would be neces-
sary for Messrs. Shirley Gilliland and
Thomas B. Hanley to resign from their
places on the board of regents of the
state university before they can take
their seats in the senate, great deal
Of interest has been aroused in the
matter and politicians in the Ninth and
Fifth districts have commenced to
make inquiries as TO available candl-
dates. In the Ninth it has been sug-
gested that II. w. Byers may have the
place If he will accept, tho 1t Is doubt
full If he would care for 1t. In the
Fifth Mr. Hanley is filling out the
term of the late NJ. A. Higley. OF Ce-
dar Rapids, and it has been suggested
that an even distribution of honors
would indicate that some friend OF the
from the western or central
part of the district should be ap-
pointed.
In his forthcoming annual report,
soon to be issued. State Dairy Commits
sioner Wright will report that there
are now in use on the farms of Iowa. a
total of 1862 hand cream separators.
This is a remarkable increase in the
number in use in this state, considering
that the first were introduced about six
wears ago. In 1898 it was reported there
were 904 in use, the next year l,762,
then 1882, in 1901 a total of 5,231, and
last year S,523. There are about 9O.-
600 creamery patrons in the state ana
as hand separators can only be used
with economy by those who have more
than the average number Of cows, 1t
is evident to Commissioner Wright that
the adoption Of the devices has be-
came almost complete among those who
can use them to advantage.
