The Trail Of Beet Sugar.

Now that congress is. soon to meet to
consider the treaty Of reciprocity with
Cuba, 1t is timely to remind the public
of what a dangerous rider the beet
sugar interests finally succeeded in at
taching to the treaty as ratified by the
senate. The rider is to be found in
the following clause of the law:
Provided, that while this convention is
In force no sugar imported from the re-
public of Cuba, and being the product of
the soil or industry of the republic of
Cuba, shall be admitted into the United
States at reduction of duty greater than
20 per centum of the rates of duty thereon.
as provided by the tariff act of the United
States approved July "a, 1897 and no
sugar the product of any other country
shall be admitted by treaty or convention
into the United States while this conyen-
ton Is In force at a lower rate Of duty
than that provided by the tariff act Of the
United States, approved July "a, 1897.
The effect Of this clause is to make
it impossible for Cuba to have any
other than the specified tax on it's
sugar entering the United States, even
II, congress should abolish the duty on
sugar. Moreover. the United States
during the life of the treaty, cannot
enter into reciprocal relations with
any other country if such relations
should demand the reduction Of the
tariff on the sugar OF that other coun.
try by SO much as a cent. ss
| AS the Cubans did not ask lis to give
up all hope of reciprocity with other
sugar-prod ucing countries, this hob.
bling provision Of the law must be
attributed to the beet, sugar influence
which hopes to keep out all but Gu.
ban sugar after having been compelled
to yield. son that point. q
1 We would like to see this work o.
the beet sugarites eliminated before
the treaty finally goes into effect, bu
rather than see reciprocity with Cubs
postponed again, we would have tn,
treaty go thru in its present form, ride,
Eand all. But it will have It's value al
an, object lesson as showing hov
much more influence little special sin
! tterests sometimes have at Washington
than the people themselves.

Something for MI, Hill.

y. y. Hill seems TO nave got a SHIP
subsidy that will take care of his
mammoth Minnesota and Dakota
when they begin to ply the waters Of
the Pacific. Mr.. Hill has been limiting
that unless subsidies were forthcom-
ing, it might be necessary for him to
flag In order operate them so as to
compete with the other vessels, EN-
ploying cheap and poorly fed sailors,
which are unknown under the Ameri-
can flag. Yet with the virtual subsidy
the navigation laws will give him after
July l next year, and the labor-saving
devices that have been installed on
his ships. he ought to be able to worry
along and make a profit after paying
American wages to American seanlen.
Whether Mr.. Hill was or was not
instrumental In bringing about the vir-
tual subsidy legislation referred to, it
is certain to be Of great benefit to his
interests. The last congress passed a
law which exempts from the Philip
pines export tax all products of the
islands exported directly to the United
States. The same law also provides
| that after July /, 1904. the provision
of the navigation laws restricting the
American coastwise trade to American
vessels shall be extended to the Phil
| ippines. This means that all of the
trade between the United States and
the Philippines must be carried in
American ships, just as much as the
] a ~ owl n
New Orleans must be SO carried
July 1.19O4, will be about the time
Mr.. Hills ships will be ready to take
return cargoes from the Philippines
The effect of the law will be that
all of the immense amount of Manila
hemp used in this country must be
brought to our ports In American ships.
| We guess that Mr.. Hill will never
put his big ships under a foreign flag
and abandon this valuable trade to his
competitors who, fly the American flag
over their ships,
AS there are no American lines ply
ing between Atlantic ports and the
Philippines the eastern sseaports% viii
suffer by this legislation. 1t means
4 thatsthe entire American importations
of hemp from the Philippines, which
formerly came almost entirely thru At.
lantic ports by way of England, vii
now come directly to the Pacific ports
1t means, too, that there will be {
: long haul in it for Mr.. HIS transcon
tinental railways.
So far this year about 100000 bales
. of hemp have been brought to tn
ports of Boston and New York. Aftel
July 1, 1904, the Hill steamships ana
the Hill railways, instead Of Enghsl
ships, will carry this immense freigh
from Manila to Boston, New York AM
other interior ports.
No wonder the Boston TRANSCRIPT
complains that congress has enacte'
class legislation. But this is legis
lation which became class Legislation
:, in effect only thru the application 0
a general principle that the trade be
!. tween American ports must be carrie
in American ships. If there are n
ships plying between New York an
Manila under the American flag, 1T

In the meantime we refuse to worr
over the possibility that Mr.. Hill ma

It seems that the excuse given by the
Rock Island passenger department for
getting out an advertisement Of the foot

sofa at st. Paul is that they didn't know
that the University of Minnesota is in

should be told to nobody but the marines.

It is very unfortunate that the after
math of such fine football game as that
of last Saturday should be so unpleasant.
Football owes its popularity largely to the
fact that it is an honest sport played al
most altogether by amateurs and gentle
men. It disgusts the public to listen to
charges of slugging and other forms of
unfair play. 1t Is equally unpleasant to
listen to the sort of talk with which, quite
naturally, these charges are answered. We
hope that the responsible officials at both
Michigan and Minnesota will, altogether
ignore this talk and arrange for another

lions that are sure either to lead or be
