AMERICAN RICE AND CUBA
TARIFF


II would be of very great benefit
TO the rice planters of this section of
the South If Cuba should place rice
upon the free list of articles imported
by her from this country. AS is we'll
known, this country has a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba, whereby she agrees
TO permit the importation from this
country of certain articles at greatly
reduced rates of tariff or free of duty
altogether, in consideration of the
privileges of sending her sugar and
tobacco to our market at rates of duty
much below those imposed upon SINH
lar products from other countries We
do not know whether or not the
list of American articles to be ad-
mitted to Cuba free. or practically
free, of duty has yet been made up.
but even if it has. it is easy enough
to have it reopened
If Cuba admitted our rice free of
duty it wouldn't be long before there
would be a line of steamers between
Savannah and one or more Cuban
ports, because there would, in all prob
bilty, be enough freights to meet the
expenses of one or more steamers.
We published an interview a day or
two ago, in which it was stated that
the Cuban duty on rice was about SO
cents per 100 pounds. That is d pref
ty heavy duty. 1t is heavy enough to
restrict somewhat the consumption of
rice in Cuba and to give this country
great advantage if the duty were re-
moved from American rice, or at least
reduced.
AT present, owing to the high tariff
it is probable that rice from other
countries because of its inferior ouali-
ty, has the advantages of American
rice in the Cuban market AS far
as we are informed there would be
no great difficulty in inducing the
Cuban government to put rice on the
list of articles to be admitted under
the reciprocity treaty 1t is probable.
of course. that Cuba obtains a very
considerable revenue from her duty
on rice owing to the large quantity
which the Cuban people consume, but.

to give this country an advantage over
other rice producing countries, it is
doubtful if the loss in revenue would
be appreciate, because there would
be a great increase in the consump-
ton
With rice on the free list the way
would be open for the establishment
Of a line of steamers between Savan-
nah and Cuban ports. The demand
for rice would be large and that to-
gether with other articles, such as cot
ton seed lard. cotton goods, and vari-
Gus other kinds of goods which our
! market could supply as cheaply as
they could be obtained elsewhere.
would furnish cargoes for a Cuban
line of steamers. Coming this way
there isn't much doubt but that plen-
ty of freight could be obtained.
But. independent of the question of
steamship line from this port to Gu
| ban ports, lower duty on American
rice would be of the greatest benefit
to the rice planters of Georgia and
South Carolina. Our rice plantera
ought to bring this matter to the at
tention of our senators and representa-
tives at once.

A COLLEGE, ron the AGED.

There has been chartered in Chicago,
under the laws of Illinois, college
whose pupils must be 60 years old or
over. No youths of so viii be admit
ted. All those who matriculate must
have reached the age of discretion, the
minimum limit of which is fixed at
three score. The institution is to be
one in which men and women, having
reached the required age and having
purchased scholarships exactly as if
buying life insurance, will be freed
from financial cares and stimulated to
an enjoyment of their remaining years
by studies along whatever line they
may choose TO take up. Each pupil will,
by the fees paid for the scholarship,
purchase a right to board, room, tut
ton, lectures, reading room and Ii
brary privileges for the remainder Of
his or her life, with medical attend
ance and funeral expenses. No ar
engagements have been made for a gym
nasium, or for baseball or football
teams, nor is it likely that a college
yell will be adopted. However, those
are details that may be arranged later.
They are non-essential to the main
idea.
And why is not the idea of a college
for old people a very good one? Under
the plan proposed the pupils of this
unique school would be assisted to an
enjoyment of the keenest pleasure
known to age, and one of the chief
pleasures of life-the acquisition of
knowledge. At the age of so a great
many men and women no longer take
a part in the mad struggle for the
dollar; they have acquired compe-
tency, and are ready TO enjoy what
| part of life remains TO them. But their
tastes and desires have undergone a
| change with the advancing years
They no longer care for the pleasures
and diversions of the youthful or the
| middle aged. The exercise that gives
them most satisfaction is that of the
brain, not that of the muscles. Legs
and arms quickly become weary, but
not so the mental faculties; they are
as bright and sharp as ever. Then the
acquisition of still more knowledge
literary or scientific, becomes a keen
pleasure. The old scholar will study
harder. deeper and more intelligently
than the young one, and. unlike the
young one, he will find it not hard
task, but a pleasant diversion.
The late Mr. Gladstone studied and
mastered the Russian language after
he was 65 years old. The late Queen
Victoria is said to have acquired pro-
hciency in some of the Indian Ian
guages after she had passed her six
