cuBA's FAVOR TO US.
INew York Trihune.l


Current statistics show how plainly
favorably Cuba is treating the United
States in commercial matters. The
tariff collected on all imports to the
island in 1902 amounted to almost eX-
actly 20 per cent of the value of the
imports. But, while the United States
furnished nearly 40 per cent of the i'm
ports, the tariff on them was only Is
per cent of their value. while on Brit
ish goods the tariff was "a per cent ana
on Spanish goods 81 per cent of their
value. Our most serious rival in the
Cuban market is evidently Germany.
That country sold Cuba by far more
goods than any other country after the
United States, and the tariff collected
upon them was just the same as upon
our goods. Is per cent.
The United States processes to de-
sire n fair field anG no favor" and
nothing more. Cuba is certainly Of
fering it fair field, and more than
that, 1t offers it special and great fav-
ors, which thus far the United states
has been too stupid to accept We have
said that in 1902 this country sent
Cuba nearly 40 per cent of her imports.
A goodly share? But ten years ago
this country was supplying not only 40.
but more than so per cent of her inn
ports. subject to i tariff very much
less than that levied against any other
country. That is what the Unite
States might be doing now if it would.
That is what it might have been doing
for a year past. had its lawmakers been
able to look above a sugar beet.

While nothing can be gained from
any official here beyond the statement
that this action is merely taken to put
the per diem employees on the same
basis as those employed by the year,
il is confidently believed here that this
action will enable the government to
hold every member of a union who at
temptS to strike guilty of violation
of his oath All the employees of the
government printing office hereby are
put in the same relation TO the govern
ment under the oath to serve it faith
fully as the employees of the other de-
partments.
The threats to strike are not consid-
cred sincere, but with the strikers under
oath of allegiance to the United States
government a refusal to work because
OF the continued employment of Fore
man Miller would put them in the po-
sition of considering the allegiance to
their union greater than to the United
president would be justified in sum
marily discharging them. There is
strong feeling in the unions and else
where that Miller will be continued in
office despite the charges against him,
for the present, at least. or until the
trouble has subsidized.
The oaths administered are those pre-
scribed for the government clerks by
the civil service laws.

e. n. Princes Grain Letter,

Chicago, Aug. 27.-Wheat-But for
the great amount of long wheat that
came out on the advance today, the
market would have shown greater
gain than it does. There was a vety
strong market at the opening and thu
buying power was not exhausted until
a good advance had been recorded
Then selling started and it was Of such
influential character and in such guam
titles that the greater portion Of the
advance was lost, but selling ceased
and there was a firm feeling. The news
was detrimental TO harvesting In the
northwest and bad for movement all
over the country. Reports OF damage
to wheat came in from Nebraska
Clearances were large, cables We're
strong and foreign crop advices bullish,
except those from France.
Corn--The strength In corn early was
partly in sympathy with wheat and ol
of weather conditions IN
the corn belt section. Fears of col
weather following these rains sent
shorts to cover and the market was
strong one until wheat weakened ard
then prices eased off with only small
part Of the advance retained. The mar
ket to great extent on weather and
sentiment seemed to be largely bullis.i,
altho selling today was of influential

HAS FAITH IN OUR CURRENCY
overstreet Says New Legislation Is Not
Positively Needed.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Representa-
tive Jesse Overstreet of Indiana, who
was a leader in the gold standard leg
islation of 1900, and who is now MEM
Der of the House committee on banking
and currency, is in favor OF additional
financial legislation, but he declares
that it is not positively necessary.
Mr.. Overstreet was in Washington
yesterday. In discussing financial leg
islation he said:
"Of course 1 would be glad to see
additional currency legislation and
would deem it advisable. AT the same
time l want to emphasize my opinion
that it is not necessary to the con-
tinuance OF prosperity. The certainty
and security of the currency is assured
by the legislation already on the stat
ute books, especially the gold standard
act of 1900 There cannot be a doubt
not even the shadow or ghost of a
doubt, as to the absolute stability of
the currency. 1t is founded on rock
bottom and cannot be assailed or shak-

THIEF RETURNS LOOT.
Certified and Cancelled Checks L
Amount Of $4,000 Sent Back.


Chicago. Aug. 27.-After stealing Ger
tilted and cancelled checks to an aggra-
gate of S6500O a thief yesterday took
the trouble to restore them to the bank
from whose messenger he had secured
them.
The checks were in valise which
disappeared while George Nelson. mes
senger for the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank. was riding on Milwaukee ave-
nIe car.
Apparently the thief thought the va
lise contained currency, as when he
discovered to the contrary he sent a
telephone message which put the bank
on the track of the missing paper. The
police have a good description of the
thief. but up to late hour no arrest
had been made.
Nelson who is % years old, accom-
panied by another employee of the bank,
left the institution at Milwaukee avenue
and Carpenter street at l o'clock, and
went to the Chicago National bank at
1872 Monroe street, where the Milwau-
kee3 avenue bank clears. The two men
turned over the checks which were
certified and returned to them. They
then boarded Milwaukee avenue cable
train, Nelson carrying the satchd.
The car was crowded with passen-
gers, and Nelson placed the satchel at
his feet thinking no more of it until
the train reached the Milwaukee ave-
nue. yiaduct. when he discovered he had
been robbed.

MUST SWEAR ALLEGIANCE.
Printers in Government Office Are
Given Unpleasant Surprise.

washington. Aug. Reconsideration

government printing office, where re-
Gently there has been so much trouble
between the unions and the government

Public Printer Palmer ordered all the
heads of divisions to appear before a
notary public and take an oath of al
leeiance TO the United States govern
ment. The order today Will be extended
to take IN not only the heads but every
employe, union or nonunion, in the gov

Mr.. Palmer said he issued this order

who is taking this step to emphasize
the supremacy OF federal law over any

and cannot account for the move, yet
they feel they have been dealt what

threats TO strike If the government does
not dismiss Miller on account of the
personal charges now pending against
him.
The oath of allegiance which is taken
by all the members of other unions is

Its Culture Destined to Be One
of Principal Industries of
the West
MEETING REQUIREMENTS WELL
The Various Kinds of Imported Ma.
caroni Wheat Will be Grown Where
no Other Wheats Have Been Sue
cessfully Raised-Increase in Acreage
Important to Agricultural West.

Minneapolis, Aug FIT is now up
to the men who handle wheat to taake
hold of these grains and to make the
most of them and to find market for
Them is the declaration of Secretary
James Wilson, of the United States de-
partment of agriculture
Secretary Wilson arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday morning in attendance
on the forestry convention. which he
addressed from the platform of the
Plymouth Congregational church last
evening. His reference in the state
ment made above is to the various
kinds of macaroni wheat which the de-
partment has imported and which are
now being grown in the west and
northwest.
The department of agriculture is
hunting the world over for wheat and
other grains to meet the requirements
of all the localities in the United
States" said Secretary Wilson. We
have succeeded in finding various kinds
of macaroni wheat that will yield bet
ter than the spring wheat which has
been grown SO largely in the northwest,
and which will yield especially in the
light rainfall regions.
.Macaroni wheat culture will be one
of the principal industries Of the west,
and many millions of bushels of these
wheats will be grown where no other
wheats have been successfully raised.
1t Is now up to the men who handle
grain to take hold of these grains and
make the most of them, and to find a
market for them.
IF they haven't got the mills to
grind the macaroni wheat, they must
find the mills with which to do ii. for
they are going to have more wheat of
that sort than of any other, eventually.
Some of our experts estimate the mac
aroni yield of this year at 100000
bushels. Next year the yield will be
% 100000 bushels. and the year afte.
that it will be 100,o00,000 bushels.
The macaroni wheats are generally
richer in muscle forming materials
than the bread wheats. and consequent
~ will be more valuable for feeding, es-
peciaily for domestic animals. There
will be no lack of market as soon as
practical experience has shown those
who handle grain that it will pay to
handle macaroni.
",rhe increase in macaroni acreage
will mean a great development OF the
agricultural west.

1t Will Probably Be Postponed
Until Republican President
Has Been Elected
IN HARD POSITION
While He is Not Anxious for the En-
actment of Currency Legislation, the
President Will be Forced to Ac-
quiesce to Republican Managers in
Congress During Natona! Campaign.

Washington, Aug 27.-Representa
tive Overstreet, of indianapolis, secre-
tary CT the republican congressional
committee and prominent figure in
politics in congress and elsewhere,
hardly expects any currency legislation
at the forthcoming session of congress.
He would be glad to see it and deems
it advisable rather than necessary.
He expressed the opinion today that
the security OF the currency was as
sured by the gold standard act of 1900
and that freedom of circulation would
be secured by a continuance Of public
confidence That this confidence will
continue he thoroly believes.
Mr.. Overstreets opinion that there
will be nothing doing in currency leg
very Well established in the east. 1t
bears out also the opinion of Mr.. Can
non, the next speaker, an opinion which
was harshly criticised by advocates Of
a more elastic currency at the time it
was uttered. But Mr.. Cannon was
probably a true prophet.
| Experienced politicians in the repub-
lican camp are looking ahead. A new
currency law would not make its bene-
fetal effects felt in time to serve the
purposes of a presidential campaign
argument generally turnout the west
1t would not have passed the stage OF
criticism and resentment at time
when the leaders are most anxious that
no republican should be either critical
or resentful. Political prosperity and
the fortunes of the party must be look
ed after and currency reform must wal;
until n republican president has been
elected
This is rather unflattering for Presi
dent Roosevelt 1t puts him in the
position of arranging terms with the
political managers, men more noted TO:
political astuteness than for devotion
to principle and appearing to be SO
deeply concerned about his chances
of election that he is willing to see
currency legislation postponed for an
other year.
1t looks as If the president We're
consenting to such an arrangement, but
in fact there is nothing else he can do.
If the republican managers in con-
gress make UP their minds that it is
unwise to attempt currency legislation
on the eve OF a national campaign, the
president must acquiesce, but at the
same time he stands committed 10 th@
idea of reform and VIII urge action ~
the earliest moment.
That moment will probably be at
the short session Of congress following
the campaign. At least that opinion is
daily becoming stronger among public
men in the east.

Tho Treason of Peace
St. Louis Globe Democrat. |

In his latest address Mr. Folk called
attention to the fact that the nation
al constitution specifically menions
only two crimes for which the president
may be mpeached-treason and brib-
cry. Bribery is treason--the treason
of peace. If all officials were for sale,
then the government of the people
could not long exist" The plea that
bribery is only conventional crime
is heard no more in defense of hood
lers. 1t worked the opposite way with
juries and public opinion
