Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The 1904 crop of tobacco is fast being
pressed into the bundle, and / think
fully one-half of the crop is already in
the process of being stripped, and most
OF the remaining half will be taken down
the first damp spell that comes. Much
that is still hanging would have been
taken down last Thursday and Friday
had there not been some fat stems to be
found in it still.
A few buyers are riding in this local
ity, but have bought but very little as /
have heard. A remark was made to one
buyer that he had come around rather
late to buy much of the best tobacco.
The buyer answered in this manner: 81
do not care for that; it may be we'll to
have some of the best to show, but there
are as many cents to be made upon
pound of the next grade as upon the
best grade, and 1T costs less money to
handle the goods"
Our correspondents report as follows:
Wethersield, Ct: "The damp weather
of yesterday enabled the farmers to take
fine condition and looks very very nice.
No sales" Conway, Mass: mo sales to
report this week. Buyers were in town
last week, but were talking too low
prices for us. Quite little tobacco was
taken down last week, so we can see how
it is coming out and find that it is not
below our expectation. 1t is nice, light
crop, and ought to bring good price"
East Whately, Mass: II have to report
the sale of the crop of George Dickinson
and the crop of John Donovan, also the
crops of P. Coneley & Sons, in all about
30 acres, at prices of about tic in bun
die" ."-Cultivator.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20. 1904,

The market continues in satisfac-
tory condition. Trading is active in all
types of which there is still visible
supply on hand. Among these there is
chiefly the Pennsylvania, which is NOV
ing off at lively rate, particularly be-
cause of the reports that more money is
being paid by packers for the 1904 crop
than the old one commands. Of avail
able binder leaf the scarcity becomes
more alarming from week to week. The
AS an earnest proof of the steady and
increasing sales of Sumatra in this mar
ket can be cited the unprecedented rush
of American buyers at yesterdays last
inscription to secure every available par
eel. This would not have happened if
the importers did not expect speedy
depletion of stock here. The activity of
the Havana market is likewise holding
out.
Reports received from local manufac-
turers are almost invariably optimistic
ia the extreme. All branches of the in
dustry, they say, are active, while par
ticularly glowing accounts of the situa-
tion come from the seed and Havana
men. The approach of cold weather is
not usually propltlous season for TINS
section of the trade, but at the present
time, it is said, the demand is unusually
heavy. Cigarette manufacturers, too,
report conditions thoroughly favorable,
and comparative figures of this and last
year show sharp increase in the vol
ume of output. On the other hand, the
statistics for the output of cigars for the
month of September, as is given else
where in this issue, show slight falling
off in full fedged cigars. This may pos
sibly be accounted for by the approach
of the presidential election, or tho lack
of the stimulating effect of last years
great estimating contest or it may be
that conditions in our manufacturing
centers are not so favorable as those
that prevail IN the metropolis Finally,
it may be that local manufacturers, con-
trasting present conditions with those
that prevailed a few months ago, over
estimate prevailing prosperity.-Journal.

LANCASTER New ERA, Oct. %, 1904.

General Apathy was in charge of
the trading in leaf goods the past week,
vieing with General Outburst" of the
straight out-and-out Republican ranks.
To the active efforts of the latter is due
a large part of the dullness of the trade.
Some of the leaders in business were
active in preparing for our glorious dem
onstration, while, on the other hand, the
activity in the country had its effect on
that end of the line. But few sales
were reported: NJ. M. Fry & Co. bought
1O0cs and sold 80, while John d. Skiles
disposed of 300cs. For the correspond
ing week of last year the sales were 1880
cases. Several other dealers laid lines
for lots that will resolve themselves into
sales the coming week.
The upward tendency in prices of the
new crop is fast becoming reality in
stead of a matter of discussion.

your candidate why he does not support

people can vote on measures on their
respective merits, then bribery and
corruption will have lost their effici-
ency and consequently will cease.
Ii the gerrymander is such an evil
as the politicians represent, ask your
candidate why he does not support a
system of proportional representation
by the grouping of constituencies and

The land speculator escapes all the

New South Wales Experiment
Cleveland, Ohio.

That "A tariff is not essential to
progress, the recent history OF New
South Wales conclusively shows. In
1896 that colony adopted progressive
free trade. Duties were to be gradu-
ally reduced over period of five years,
when, in 1901, only those on tobacco
and liquors should remain. The de-
ficiency in public revenue was met by
land tax, crude and partial appll-
cation OF Henry Georges plan, supple
mented by an income tax
The effect was startling. The de-
| cennial census of 1901 showed great
gains in population for the free trade
colony, while her sister colony, Vic
toria, separated only by a river, and
tsr.lQXing q highly protective tariff. had
actually 1ost sslB aE. the capital Of
the former colony, gained 1Uz.tjUU, <Ut:
80 per cent, while Victoria's capital,
Melbourne, had gained but 5000, or a
trifie over one half Of one per cent.
For every vessel locked and repaired
in the protection colony, there were
seven in her free trade rival, and there
were four times as many deep-sea
ships in the harbors of the former col
ony as in those of the latter. The CEN
sus also showed one third more men
Iengaged in manufacturing industries
lin the free trade colony than in the
colony enjoying a protective tariff.
Wages averaged little higher in. New
South Wales, while the cost of living
was one third less. This was equiya-
lent to more than so per cent greater
wages.
The farmers flocked across the river,
content to pay the land tax, knowing
when they paid this tax they got off
much cheaper than in Victoria where
everything they used for consumption
or for the farm was heavily taxed by
1.-THE tariff OF that colony. The pro-
gressive element of New South. Wales
is now demanding, as a further in
stallment of the land value tax, that it
be increased to three pence in the
pound. When it is considered that UP
to 1891 Victoria had the greater pop
ulation, these results are seen to be
phenomenal. No wonder the pluto
cratic agencies worked to secure fed
GRAFTON of the colonies to check the
growing contrast. But it is probable

\ Wales will leaVen TIC uss1rfe eemmon-

So long as America has a tariff at
all, there will be interested persons
seeking tariff fayors. All tariffs are

degree of the robbery; and equity adj

Oh, voter, what is your duty, and what

Or let Others control you? just do

But never join Doodle or ring-in the
fight.
1t they give you dollar, they make
hundreds thereby.
II they vote you as partisan, then some
one will sigh,
For 'srings" and corruption can never
be trusted
And no evil thing, by them, will be
busted.
Now voter, just think, it's all up to
you,
Be careful and honest in whatever you
do,
Your country is calling you now into
view.
Your ballot is gone, and oh, at great

If ringsters corrupt you, or by them
you're tossed
Into bard-wagon, and then-surely

yourself,
And keep clear of Doodle, corruption

FOR STUDY or CRIME.

A communication has been received
at the secretary of States office in
Guiding copy of bill that has been
intro duced in Congress, to establish n
lab oratory for the scientific study of
the criminal, pauper and defective
classes with reference to their psyco-
logical make up and sociological rela-
tions; and also as regards the phe-
nomena in these realms displayed by
those classes. The laboratory, if es.
tablished, will be located in the city
of Washington and will be ih charge
of a superintendent to be appointed
by the President. The work will be
carried on under the direction of the
department of justice, the data being
obtained from the penal and kindred
institutions of the government.
The proposed bill has received the
endorsement of the Prison Associa-
tion besides various other organiza-
tions and several Senators and Con.
greessmen, among them being Sena-
tors Proctor and Dillingham;. These
circulars are sent to the chairmen of
the judiciary committees in the vari-
Gus States for the purpose of inducing
said committees to introduce similar
bills into the various Legislatures.
The desire of the Prison Association
is to make the intelligent study of
criminals, pauperism, moral and ply
sical deficiencies more general through
out the country, with view to the
establishment of more effective pre-
ventive and disciplinary systems.

GEN. REYES GONE.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Gen. Rafael
Reyes, the Columbian envoy, who
has been in Washington in connection
with the Panama matter for about a
month. left for New York at midnight
Monday. General Reyes will leave
soon for Columbia and General Ospia,
his legal adviser, will remain in the
country for some time before return
ing.
The departure of General Reyes
does not constitute the breaking of
diplomatic relations but merely the
suspension OF the negotiations. DR..
Herran, the Colombian charge, re-
mains in Washington to attend to le-
cation business other than Panama
matters. 1t is not likely that he will
leave the city for two months at
least, il then. Advices which have
reached here from Colombia show that
there is still considerable excitement
there over the attitude of the United
States in the Panama matter. The
State department ignored the threat
of General Reyes, that he would make
public the correspondence if the de-.
partment failed to do so or send it to
the Senate. General Reyes will sail
from New York next Saturday for
Colombia. The vessel does not touch
at lsthmian ports. General Reyes has
paid his official farewell to Secretary
Hay and to the President through the
secretary.
