ENGLAND AND CUBAN REcIPRoCETT.

There is reported TO be much agitation in COM
rerciai circles in England over the prospect Of
reciprocity between the United States and Cuba.
Deputatfons from chambers of commerce have
been besieging the British Foreign Secretary
with appeals and protests, urging him 10 take
I'D the matter diplomatically and if possible
prevent what they regard as the threatened in
Jury to British commerce with Cuba and to the
Industrial and commercial interests of the Brit
fish West Indies. There has been some talk Of
secret clauses in the reciprocity treaty, and
OF British retaliation against the United States;
all of which is indicative Of more excitement
than discretion. 1t is, Of course, not at all sur
prjsing that British manufacturers and mer-
chants are considerably exercised at the pros
pect Of United States reciprocity with Cuba
They have a keen recollection Of such an ar
rangement ten years ago, and of its effect upon
their interests. In former years England had
the lions share Of Cuban trade But the Nc
Kinley bill of 1890 changed all that. Let US re
call what the British Consul General at Havana
said about it in 1892:
British tlade with Cuba has almost become a
thing of the past Under the present reciprocity
treaty the United States Of America practically
supplies all the wants Of the island, and receives
all its produce. Machinery. which formerly was
largely supplied 10y England. Germany. France
and Belgium now nearly all comes from the
United States. The effect of the recent reci-
procity treaty has been to throw nearly the en-
tire Cuban trade into the hands OF the United
States traders, with whom importers Of goods
from less favored nations cannot compete.
We NAV add TO that statement of facts the
further fact that Cuban purchases from the
United States in the ten years 1ss1'90 av-
eraged only S11 100000, and in 1898 under reci-
procity they rose TO S23,600,0oO. That is what
we expect viii happen under the reciprocity
treaty now pending That is what our English
friends fear will happen. Their fears are well
founded. But cannot perceive that they
have any legitimate grievance against this
country on that account They acquiesced in
the reciprocity arrangement Of ten years ago.
although it was ruinous 10 their Cuban trade,
and having done so they cannot consistently
object 10 renewal Of that arrangement, which
is practically what is now contemplated. They
cannot object 10 it any more than the United
States can object to the existing arrangement
10y which Canada gives British trade advan-
1age OF one-third over United States trade. The
United States has not resorted TO retaliation
against Canada on that account Neither, we
feel sure. will Great Britain think Of retaliation
against the United States or Cuba.
The talk about a -'secret clause specially
aimed against the British West Indies is of
course groundless. There is no such clause in
this treaty. The United States does not make
treaties that way. 1t is not waging a war

nrrr-vop1 nAuy TRIBUNE. TUESDAY JANUARY 27. 1903.

German chemists have tried repeatedly 10
separate the sulphur and to utilize some OF the
other substances industrially. Thus far the
SULPHUR has declined to yield to their persua-
sion and none of the rest Of the Substances
which have been isolated perform satisfactory
service Further research, though, may yet
solve some of these problems, and thus reduce
the cost Of producing paper by the sulphite
process.
In regions where there are both timber ana
sawmills there is a good deal of sawdust In
Norway the latter is made to produce aceuc
acid hv distillation, while in several countries
the same refuse is worked up into briquettes
for fuel Spent dyewood was once utilized IN
the latter fashion, but its conversion into paper
pulp is more remuneratiye. Efforts are be-
ing made to put tanbark into condition 10
burn in stoves and furnaces. Their result can
not be predicted, but ingenuity in the choice OF
q binder ought to insure success In time. 80
we'll established is the manufacture or Oil out
of American corn that the expectation OF that
article for use by foreign soapmakers, is al
ready an apprecable item in this country S
foreign trade. Still another illustration is al
forded by California, which is rapidly coming
TO the front as manufacturing State. AT the
asphalt refinery in Ventura the sulphuretted
hydrogen gas that once allowed to escape
as worthless is transformed into sulphuric
acid. When run at their full capacity, the
works there produce ten tons Of by-produ:t a
day Verify, economy is wealth.
New-York tribune., 1903-01-27
UTILIZING WASTE PRODUCTS.

One of the interesting bulletins issued by
the Census Bureau in Washington during the
last year or two was prepared by Henry @. Kit
tredge and relates to the utilization of what
were once worthless products Of manufacture.
Since the subject has never before been covered
by the bureau. the writer does not confine him
self to advances effected In the decade ending
with 1900 A number of familiar economies,
like the rescue of tar and ammonia in making
gas and coke. and the derivation of aniline
dyes, synthetic indigo, perfumes and saccharin
from coal tar, as well as more modern achieve
ments are described. In many instances the
hints offered will prove of direct value, both
by showing actual successes and by indicating
promising lines of experiment In general
way too, the examples here presented will be
influential. The margin between financial profit
and loss in many industries is narrow one,
and the balance can often be shifted from the
latter to the former side of the account by Civ
ing market value to waste materials, and Oc
casionally large fortunes are thus made.
Few recent developments Of the latter sort
have been so conspicuous the discovery that
cottonseed Oil could be employed for food and
in making soap. The value of oil and cake in
1900 was nearly S60O0O,O00, and it is fair tc
assign at least half of this sum to the oil alone,
an article of commerce practically unknown
much before 1890. In the woollen industry
shoddy is an old story, of course, but the feast
bility of saving the oil end potash out of raw
wool was recognized only q few years ago. AS
yet the practice is uncommon, perhaps because
the plant for conducting the process is expen-
sve. Mr.. Kittredge declares, though that
So, 100000 or $3,0O0,0O0 is thrown away every
year in this country by retaining the old meth
DDS Of washing wool. The loss is really much
greater, because fleeces treated by the new sys-
tenn would bring higher prices than they do
now In the iron and steel industries American
prosperity has been due to cheap ores, cheap
transportation, improved machinery for work
ing the metal and the economy which results
from wholesale production. However even here
there have been successful attempts to utilize
waste. Belgium has shown the world that blast
furnace gases suited to the development of
power by gas engines, and Stag is being turned
TO account both for brick and cement
A large but disappointing variety OF expert
ments have been made in connection with wood
pulp. One Of the best known processes for
cleaning up wood fibre so that it can be con-
verted into paper is to digest it in solution of
bisulphite of soda The liquor which is left con
tains n good deal of sulphur, derived from the
chemicals, and resin, glutinous agent and
other materials dissolved out of the wood.

MORE ABOUT WATER.

The president Of the City Club appealed to
the Mayor not long ago to use the powers of his
office to lessen the leaks and the waste and the
misuse in the public water supply. Mr.. Peck
ham said truly that there would be distressing
scarcity within few years if the prodigal and
inexcusable drains upon the watersheds of the
metropolis were not diminished. 1t is estimated
that before this new century is out of its cradle
the several boroughs of New-York will be using
four hundred millions of gallons daily for
population not in excess of four millions of peo-
pie unless the gaping holes through which such
floods of Croton of Bronx water and OF the
contents of the Long Island wells and reser-
voirs have been scattered without stint are
looked after with prudence and discretion.
1t would be a fine thing for modern Gotham
If it could rejoice in the magnificent aqueducts
of ancient Rome. Before the decline and fall
of the empire Of the Caesars the Eternal City
was full of splendid fountains and of public
baths never rivalled anywhere else in the world
and yet the Niobe OF nations in its immemorial
capital and metropolis was not crowded with
thousands of corner barrooms as New-York is
to-day. 1t contained no busy mills, employing
armies Of men and women, no great breweries
no power houses, immense hotels no sky
scrapers, no gas companies, no trolley lines no
surface or elevated railroads. no colossal apart
ment houses, and not even single steam en-
CINE The barrooms, boilers, engines breweries
hotels, skyscrapers, towering buildings for flats
railway lines and manufacturing plants in the
second city OF the modern world use a pro-
digiOus quantity of water and waste an enor
nous quantity also.
