they dashed forward on a dead run.
One Of the robbers was knocked

Cuban Reciprocity is Now Effective

Cuban Reciprocity is Now Effective.
The Cuban reciprocity act became
effective on Monday. 1t is noted that
late in the week there was sharp ad-
vance in American Sugar Refining Com
pany's stock.
The total output of sugar imported
into the United States from foreign
countries in 1902 amounted to 3,031, 915,
SIS pounds. The amount imported
from other insular possessions, Porto
Rico and Hawaii, was 904.37O, 400
pounds. The average cost pound in
foreign countries is stated at 1.S2 cents,
although Cuban sugar is purchased at
las and 150 cents. Theaverage whole
sale price of granulated sugar in New
York for seven months ending July 81,
1903, was 04.46 cents pound, and at
that price the amount imported would
be worth $175, 558, 1868. The average
price paid by the consumers is about .O6
cents a pound, and the sugar imported
would thus cost the people 1886, III, 176.
Al of the sugar imported is raw and it
is bought up by the trusts, which brings
it to New York, refines it and places it
on the market. 1t fact, it fixes its own
price upon it and the people have to pay
it.
The American Sugar Trust now owns
almost the entire sugar crop of Cuba this
year, estimated at 1,130,00 tons. 1t
has bought this crop at the prices that
prevailed before the Cuban reciprocity
bill become operative, and it stands to
save the tariff duties, something over
eight million dollars. In other words,
the sugar the trust has bought will cost
it laid down in New York less the 20 per
cent tariff reduction. which amounts to
about the sum named. The Cuban
planters, it will be observed, will not
derive any benefit this year by the pass
nge of the Cuban act on their sugar
crop and it is doubted if they ever do
other than the assurance of sale for
their output.
The greater benefits the Cubans will
derive are those which will result from
bhe quick sale Of their product and even
mt the low price they will be able to make
money. Hundreds of thousands of.acres
Of land have been purchased on the
island which are to be utilized in sugar
culture and it has been predicted by
experts that within five years the out
put will exceed two million tons annual
~. To what extent this increase will
affect the American sugar industry is a
mooted question. The estimated out
put of beet sugar in the United States
ahis year is about 275, 900 tons and cane
sugar 5000 tons.
/ 1t is claimed by the advocates of the
c,,sQn treaty that the reduction carried
~ that MEASURE no matter how much it
will stimulate ffffAcSessed sugar produc-

industry in the least, kut this
view is not generally shared by the>pro

MADE FATHER INSANE.
Grief Over Loss of Child-Tried to

Kill His Family.
Temperance, Mich, Jan. 11.-An
unusually sad case of alteration of
mind has occurred in this village
About year ago the young child of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Guess, a young
married couple of the village, died
and the father was so overwhelmed
with grief that fears were entertained
for his mind. A short time ago the
other remaining child received a Sc
we're cut on the hand, and this COM
pletely broke the father down, as he
disappeared the next day. He was To-
Gated in Detroit and induced to re-
turn home.
Friday night, however, he secured
large knife, and it required the CON-
bined efforts of Deputy Sheriff Brunt
and several citizens to prevent him
from killing his family. He was final
ly landed in the county Jail and will
probably be sent to an asylum

day for investment in the sugar indus
try.
1t may be that by the introduction of
improved machinery and the utilization
of by products, the home industry can
be saved from utter ruin, and to that
those interested therein should address
themselves. They believe that the in
creased Cuban competition will be in
furious and they are now hesitating as
to future developments; realizing that
the only safeguard for the future lies in
the fact that the new treaty may be
abrogated by our government if it shall
be ascertained that it is working disas-
trously to domestic industry. although
it would be difficult even to do this in
view of the large American interest in
the Cuban sugar industry and which
will be increased by reason of the new
conditions.
1t is argued that it will be to the in
terest of the American trust to help
along the home industry, as under other
conditions there might arise such de-
mand for the abrogation of the duty on
refined sugar as to imperil the existence
of the refining trust.
1t is certain that the administration,
and those statesmen who have favored
the extraordinary legislation will watch
the possible elects of the measure, and
which in the matter of advancing the
price of trust stocks is already bearing
out the expectations Of the people en-
gagged in the beet sugar industry, the
stocks in which are not buoyant-Sagi-

BLIND BOY SUICIDED.
Tied Rope Around His Neck, Then
Jumped Out of Window.

Jumped Out of Window.
Lansing, Mich, Jan. 11.-Elmer
Connor, the blind boy who waded into
Grand river Friday, supposedly by ac-
cident, committed suicide at the
school for the blind. The boy was 19
years of age, and had been at the
school about eight years. He was
plainly demented. Although a watch
was kept upon him he evaded his
watchers and, taking rope from
about his chest, fastened one end
around the fire escape and the other
about his neck and jumped out Of a
third-story window.
The rope broke near the fastenings
and the young man fell to the frozen
ground, a distance of nearly forty
feet. He was instantly killed. A cor
oner's inquest was held, and the re-
mains were sent to West Branch.

Proverbs

When. the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

THE e. o. p AND LABOR.
The Republican Party Poses AZ =
Friend Of Labor When Not on Record.

THE Republican Party Poses az q
Friend Of Labor When Not on Record.
The Republican part is a part Of
promise, always claiming great credit
but always performing little. Its at
titude on labor is a most forciful ar
gument against the partys claim for ,
performance.
The Republican party says it is
friendly to labor because of its tariff !
yet under a beneficient SO called tariff
the cost of living has rapidly risen.
while the wages have hardly main
tariff that shows the Republican par
tvs attitude on labor.
For years the labor organizations
have tried to secure an eight hour
law but it's passage has always been
defeated in a Republican Senate. 1t
had been the usual custom to pass it
through the house but this year at the
behest of the employers association
the bill was not reported from the
labor committee, where by a party
vote it was relegated to a position
where it would remain qquiscent.
| If the Republican party is so friend
lily to labor why does it oppose an
eight hour law demanded by all lab
or organizations The representatives
of the trusts-the representatives Of
the employers association-the rep
resentatives of the manufacturers as
Of the eight hour law-the Democrats
voted to report the bill. and the Rep
ublicans voted to refer it to a COM
mittee of commerce and labor now
now presided over by an official of the
Southern Pacific railroad.
Another measure demanded by Or
ganized labor was the anti 1njuncti On
law. The entire Republican member
ship of the judiciary committee 90
posed the reporting of the bill to the
house.
Another bill demanded by organized
labor was the abolition of prison male
goods. Congressman Sibley introduc-
ed a loophole bill-which was about
to be reported. Congressman Van
Duzer introduced measure drastic
and effective. The labor committee
adopted the Van Duzer substitute and
organized labor forced the committee
t to adopt it. Congressman Gardner

or, put the bill in his pocket and
refused to report the same to the
house
