Beet Sugar Industry

Secretary of agriculture Wilson,
who has been known as a friend Of
the beet-sugar industry, is credited
with the statement that it will be
better for the beet-sugar manufaetur-
ers to have the proposed Cuban reci-
procity treaty, with the 20 per cent.
reduction Of duty on Cuban raw sugar,
ratified at this session, than to have
the question unsettled and uncertain
This latter condition would result in
keeping new capital absolutely out OF
the beet-sugar industry. Last winter
Secretary Wilson was opposed to the
20 per cent. plan. However, lasi
years proposal provided that the law
should remain in force but one year
while the present treaty proposes 4
settled policy for years. A 20 pei
cent. reduction, the secretary believes
to stand for years would not be 81
harmful to be, t-growing and beet
sugar manufacturing as is the presen
agitation Of the question and the un
certainty.

the reading would be very interest
ing to the scholars. 1t would keep
them informed of present events
and they would grow up with the
history of the country and the
world. 1t might also have the
,much.Idesired effect Of exciting in
boys, and girls too, a curiosity in
present topics and thus cultivate a
habit of reading which would prove
of benefit in after years.

The most urgent reasons are set
forth by the administration for the
ratification of the treaty which it is
estimated will insure to the United
States foreign trade of not less
than $40, 900, 900 per anpum. It is
shown that last year Cuba imported
cotton textiles to the amount of
S2,53s, 529 Of which amount the
United States supplied the insigmf-
cant sum of one-tenth. 1t is esti-
mated that the Cuban consumption
of this class of goods for the next
year will amount to $4,000, 900 and
under the terms of the pending ar
rangement the United States will
supply the entire amount. Last
year Cuba imported silk goods to
the amount of S494, 25S, and the
United States sold her but $lS, ,S6s
worth. OF linens, sha imported a
total value Of S1.781 1858, of which
amount this country supplied but
$s1, sO5. OF woolen goods, she i'm.
imported ses9, 225 of which the
United States supplied but $50, 2s1
Under the provisions OF the treaty
this country will sell to Cuba the
entire amount Of these and many
other classes of goods that she is
capable of consuming.

Presidential Possibilities

The auburn-Iocked Carmack, of
Tennessee, before he became a
senator was a newspaper man. He
thus knows the ropes Of "getting into
print" and it cannot be denied that
he fully utilities this special knowl-
edge. His latest interviews are anent
the democratic presidential possibili-
ties. He sees no hope Of victory in
Hin, nor German, nor yet Olney, and
as for Bryan, he only mentions him
as a man who should not object to
Judge Parker, of New York, who he
thinks should lead the democrats to
victory. Mr.. Carinack admits that
sit is difficult to predict what the
issues Of the next campaign will be;
it is a little too early There is no
telling" he says, "what may happen
between now and then 10 change the
situation" 1t is quite evident that
senator hopes that something may
happen - something ealamitoust
probably-which will give the demo
Gratis more OF an issue than they had
IN 1902.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Il is doubtful If ever except in
time of war, the congress Of the
United States enacted legislation
with such expedition as that dis
played in placing the coal bin on the
statutes. The bill, providing that
all duties collected on coal be re.
funded to the importers for one
year was reported to the house by
the ways and means committee at a
quarter after twelve. Within an
hour it had been passed and sent up
to the senate. There it was prompt
ly considered and so amended as to
place anthracite coal perpetually on
the free list, passed and sent back
TO the house, where the amendment
was accepted and the bill was ready
60 send to the president at 4 p. m.
TIE president signed it the next
day at noon.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1903-01-23

Little hope is expressed that the
public will be benefited by the
removal of the duty on coal. 1t is
feared thrt the local dealers will
buy up coal as fast as it is imported
and will so maintain the price.
Local dealers in Washington are,
according to recent disclosures made
before the senate committee APP
pointed to investigate the subject,
getting their soft coal for from 81 rs
to 81 80 per ton, but they are charg-
ing the consumers as high as SO rs
per ton

At the present time the only op.
position to the treaty comes from
the democrats, with the exception
of Senator Mason and Simon who
are said to oppose it. However, as
it requires a two thirds vote to rati-
fy it will be necessary TO secure nine
OF ten democratic votes. Tho lead
ers in the senate regard the ratifiea-
tion of the trehty as safe although
it will be effected only by a narrow
margin. The democratic opposition
so far as can be ascertained, is based
solely upon blind prejudice and a
desire to embarass the administra-
tion.
