Capital and Labor.


We submit the labor record Of the
Republican party against the profess
sions Of Democracy. Republicanlsm
has built up a tariff wall about this
country which gives the American
markets TO the products of American
labor. 1t has in every State where in
power enacted legislation favoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions
Of labor, prohibited child labor, and
passed stringent laws for the safe
guarding Of the life and limb Of en-
~ployees. 1t has under Theodore
Roosevelt substituted arbitration. as in
the coal strike, for the bullet and bayo-
net Of the last Democratic admins
tration in its settlement of the Pull
man strike. Promising little, perform
ing much, It has been the true and
tried friend Of both capital and labor,
whom It holds as equal and co~ncordant
parts of the nations industrial econo-
my. The Republican party will not
support capital in oppression o labor
in violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity Of industrial action,
striving to secure a more equitable dis
tribution Of the fruits of industry. II
IS the trusted ally Of both capital and
labor; for capital In the things which

THE CUBAN TREATY
AFFECTS EUROPE

PRAGUE, Austria, March 3.--According
to the local press, the Cuban treaty will
greatly affect the export of sugar from
Europe to the United States. Comment
ing upon this treaty and its probable effect
on the sugar industry OF Europe, the
Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, one of the
leading newspapers of Austria Hungary,
expresses the following opinion;
"A telegram from Washington announces
that the English government has protested
against the preferential admission of Gu.
ban sugar into the United States, and in
all probability the other European pow
ers will join this protest 1t is consid
cred doubtful whether such protest will be
of any avil, as already, under President
Cleveland, Secretary 0lney declared the
preferential treatment of Cuba as justified.
"As matter of fact, European sugars
will be as good as excluded from the
United States. In presence of such a
margin in favor of Cuban sugars the sugar
producers of Europe who are hampered
by the heavy transportation charges can
not compete"
"rhe consumption of sugar in the United
States will be fully covered by the home
production and Cuban crops. The con-
sumption in the United States is estimated
at 100000 tons per year. Out of this.
Cuba, where the crop is this year nearly

TACOMA ARTISTS
PLAN AN EXHIBIT

The Tacoma Sketch club has decided to
send an exhibit to the Lewis and Clark
exposition. The club met yesterday at
the Ferry museum to discuss the matter
and to consider the suggestion of Com
missioner liter, director of the Washing
ton art exhibit at the st. Louis exposition,
that the club contribute to the general
exhibit from this state.
The club has also decided to have a local
exhibit here next May under the auspices
of the Pacific Northwest Art association.
Professor w, II. Gilstrap, president of the
association, believes that large attend
ance of the artists of the Northwest is as
sured, and that the exhibit will be the best
ever held in Washington.
1t was decided to hang pictures in the
club room in the Ferry museum and rule
was made that each member should display
one new picture every three months.
Prominent among the members Of the
Sketch club are Miss Campbell art in
struetor in the city schools; Miss Boyd, of
the University OF Puget Sound; Miss Nor
ris, of Whitworth college, and Miss Wrist,
of the Annie Wright seminary.

the Conservatives were in power at Ottawa
for Is consecutive years. They were for
tunate in having definite and popular
policy, and in possessing great leaders. Sir
John A. Macdonald was, without doubt,
one of the most subtle and sllillful politi-
clans in the world. He knew always how
to take Occasion by the hand" By virtue
of most genial and fascinating person
atty, he was able to harmonic and even
utilize racial and sectional differences that
to another would have brought sure defeat.

men, such as Sir Charles Upper, bold,
big-minded and pugnacious character, and

of storm and stress. The United States
had denounced the reciprocity treaty of
1854, under which, for u years, the COM
merce of the provinces had rapidly expand
ed on natural and therefore profitable
lines.
Mutual animosities, racial and CONNER
cial, tended to separate Quebec and On
tario. while the maritime provinces lived
a life almost entirely apart. The West,
UNEMPLOYED and unknown, was under the
sway of great trading companies, with
headquarters in London. British states
men seemed incapable of approaching the
part CanSda was destined to play in the
unfolding destinies of the empire, and
Washington then as now, was blind to
its opportunities. At this dark hour, po-
litical federation was carried through UNI
der the leadership of group of statesmen
worthy of imperishable renown, among
whom Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Charles
Upper and George Brown were the
acknowledged chiefs.
The bond of connection between Canada
and England is almost wholly one of senti-
ment. The dominion is absolutely self
governing and self-maintaining. Not only
does it pay no taxes to England, but it
declines to help support the imperial army
and navy, while it taxes British imports
by tariff which totals higher than that
against the United States. The act of
confederation provides for the English par
liamentary system, with practical man
hood-suffrage. The governor general is
nominated by the British government. He
resides in Ottawa and represents the king.

100000 tons larger than last year, viii
deliver the lions share-say, 100000 tons.
The raw sugar production of Louisiana and
Florida contributes 100000 tons; the Phil.
ippines 100000 tons. Moreover, the United
States proper turns out 900 tons of
beet sugar; and even in case of short
crop there are yet the West Indian mar
kets to be drawn upon.
Under these circumstances the Euro.
pean sugar producer must be prepared, for
the American market as an outlet for
European sugars will in the future entirely
disappear. OF course, the Europea,
states are compensated by considerable
increase in the home consumption, es-
pecially in Germany and France, under the
influence of the reduced inland tax on
sugar. During the three months since
the Brussels convention came into force,
the increase in the consumption in Ger
many, Austria and France amounts to
34O, 900 tons"
There is no doubt that the sugar pro-
ducers of Europe who suffered by the
abolition of sugar bounties will be greatly
affected by the Cuban treaty. German
and Austro- Hungarian refners will be the
most affected.
According to European statistics, the
area of sugar beets under cultivation in all
Europe was 4,653,6 34 acres in 1901 and
4,l26,250 acres in 1902. There were $780,
23l acres under cultivation in Austria
Hungary in 1901 and ,6S4 acres in 1902,
divided as follows Hungary and Bosnia,
246, 1858 acres; Bohemia, 27297 acres; other
parts of Austria, DDS, 1855 acres.
