LINCOLN 70 OPEN NEXT WEEK.
WofilN;Il be Resumed With Force of
t Men, to Be Increased Later.

Lincoln mine, which has been
practically idle since midsummer,
will resume active mining opera
tiona the coming week, Supt. Fair
BARN stating that a force of about
one Hundred and fifty men will be
placs4 at this time, which number
will be increased later.
This will be welcome news to Vir-
ginlans, who recognize the mine as
one ofthe most important in the To-
cal group and one which has much
to do with the business conditions
of the city.
Since the cessation of shipments
from the mine much work has been
done lin improving the property,
and another shaft is being sunk at
the present time.
When working full force the mine
will furnish employment to from
four TO five hundred men.

Scored County Commissioners.

The grand jury for the January
term closed its labors on Friday
last, their last act being the fling of
strenuous document in which the
board of county commissioners
came in for the warmest roast ever
given body of public men in St.
Louis county. The report az sub
mitted makes special reference to
the manner in which road work is
conducted, and specific charges of
illegal methods are noted.
In conclusion the grand Jury
submits bill the passage of which
will be asked of the present legisla-
ture, the provisions of which will
tend to more thoroughly protect
the interest of the taxpayers of the
county against the padding of ac-
counts and the paying of personal
debts of gratitude through the
channels of the county treasury.
As a result of the investigation.
several direct bills were returned
against persons who allegedly cut
in on county funds without right
to do so.

Viii Inspect PASSENGERS.

As guard for the prevention of
the spreading of smallpox physi-
clans have been placed on all pas
senger trains of the Duluth & Iron
Range road for the purpose of max
ing inspection of passengers, and
especially men coming from the
lumber camps along the route.
These inspectors are duly licensed
physicians, and every effort will be
made by the health authorities to
locate and isolate all cases of small
pox before the disease reaches
the larger cities. If the situation
should demand it the same precau-
tionary measures will be adopted
by other roads tapping the timber
belts of the north.

ADMINISTRATION MAKES RECORD.

Reports Show City in Good Financial
Shape, Many Improvements Be-
ing Made During the Year.
The annual report of the city
clerk published elsewhere in this
issue of The Enterprise is a docu-
ment which should receive the at
tention of every taxpayer, and
shows a record for the present city
administration which is entitled to
to the commentator of all, whether
they may or may not personally
agree in all policies now enforced
in our municipal government.
The report shows the total re-
ceipts during the year just closed
to have been $38!044.55, while the ex-
penditures have been $34,744.68. Of
these expenditures better than $10,-
600 has been put into the erection
of the new city hall building, of
which every Virginian has just
cause to be proud, while $996.05 has
been added to permanent improve
ments in the fire protection system
of the city, $6,744.43 has been placed
to the credit of the city through
permanent road improvements.
Other advances made include the
payment of 81 900 on the bonded in
debtedness of the city and the pay
ment of interest on unpaid bonds
to the amount of $67500, a small
sum from the general fund on
sewer construction and nearly $780,
90 of unusual expense in the keep
ing of pest house cases during the
smallpox epidemic a yoar ago.
The receipts also show some
startling changes in comparison
with previous reports, the receipts
from the Municipal Court for the
year being given as $5,965.50, as
against $2,331.73 for the year ending
January 2, 1904, prior to the incom.
ing of the present officials. The
receipts show decrease in the re.
venue from liquor licenses of 81 ,O1O.-
90 in comparison with the same re-
port, while receipts from other
sources more than offset the small
loss noted in the one item.
In the erection of the new city
hall building the administration
has done q n1ast ter stloke ana
ed an edifice which will for many
years remain as a monument to the
! integrity and progressiveness OF
the mayor and the individual mem.
bers of the city council. In their
street work and other improve.
ments every precaution has also
been taken to see that the work was
done in a substantial, permanent
manner, and 80 placed as to be OF

provements the balance in the city
treasury on January 3rd of $3,299.81

the city at the date of some
OF the previous annual reports. Al

American Cotton.

To TIRE Enron or The SCN Sir In 1905.
when our crop OF raw cotton was limited
TO 800 600 bales OF 500 pounds each, Europe
imported SO 900 bales from countries other
than the United States. In 1895 and each
year since. however such outside import was
less thnn one-flfth as large as our crop. This
demonstrates Europe's dependence on the
great American staple.
Further. il must be borne IN mind that

Why This Txceptlon2

On Jan. IA Representative CURTIS OF
Kansas introduced bill providing for
the free entry into the United States OF
all Philippine products excepting sugar
and tobacco. Upon these the bill pro-
vides for the retention Of rs per cent. OF
the Dngley rates. Why this exception?
II it is well to go part OF the way, it Is
better to go all of the way.
The opposition to an unbroken free
list for products from the Philippine
Islands comes from our tobacco and
beet sugar interests. A few days ago
We dealt with the tobacco situation.
Now we will speak of the allied sugar
interests.
Experts estimate the eugar consump-
ton Of the United States for 1904 at about
2,7oc, 900 tons. The Beet Sugar Gazette
estimates the American output OF beet
sugar for the same year at POI 900 tons,
or a little less than per cent. of our con-
sumption The total Philippine crop is
estimated at 145 600 tons, or barely moro
than per cent. of the American require
ment. Our imports from the Philip
pines for the calendar year 1904 will sup
ply less than per cent. Of our demand
for sugar, yet the Michigan Sugar Manu-
faCturers' Association, assembled in con-
vention at Bay City, on Dec. %, solemnly
declared their belief that any reduction
of the present duty on sugar coming
from the Philippine Islands would even
tually destroy the entire sugar industry
OF the United States In other words,
a sturdy eight-year-old boy plunges his
knuckles into his fearful eyes and roars
his fear that feeble ive-year-old boy
will some day grow up and thrash him.
The menace Of the Philippines to this
industry is purely imaginary. Our i'm
ports of sugar from foreign countries for
the calendar year 1904 will approximate
100000 tons. This does rot include
sugar from Haweii. Porto Rico or the
Philippines In round figures, i,lOO,OOO
tons comes from Cuba. In addition to
the domestic product, We have bought
S5.OOO,OOO worth Of beet sugar from
Europe We bought 10000 tons from
Mexico, Central America and the West
Indies outside Of Cuba and Porto Rico.
We bought $1,000 tons from South Amer
lea and 100000 tons from lands in the
immediate vicinity of the Philippines.
Had this last item been brought from
our own possessions instead Of from the
PROFESSIONS of other countries, duties or
no duties, our market prices would not
have been affected in any way whatever
We're future purchases from that area
to be transferred TO the Philippines the
result would be precisely the same.
American beet sugar interests appear
10 labor under an impression that free
entrance Of Philippine sugar would be
the signal for an avalanche Of the mate
rial, with consequent reduction OF
prices which would drive them out Of
business. The active exercise OF O little
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1905-01-19

common sense should show the folly OF
such a notion. II In possible 10 estimate
approximately, what must be done be-
fore even the present Oriental supply can
be suppanted by an equal quantity from
the Philippines. There must be an invest-
mcnt Of nearly $40 ,OOO, 900, and land Of nm
extent of 500, 900 acres must be brought
under cultivation. According 10 their
size and capacity, from 20 TO so elaborate
mills must be erected at cost ranging
from $4,000 TO 1900, 900 each, ana
200. 900 people must be set at work. Before
a shipload of sugar could be sent to this
country, the annual consumption would
have increased so that the product of all
this enterprise would not even keep pace
with it,
The probability that all Of the sugar
which will come from the Philippine
Islands for the next twenty years VIII
work one iota of injury to the American
beet interests is as remote as the proba-
bility that all the tobacco possible OF
production in the islands would reduce
American production by single acre,
curtail American manufacture by single
box of cigars, or injure any American
pocket by IA single dollar Free entrance
for all Philippine products in American
custom houses is both q wise policy and
sound principle.
The cry of certain ruin to American
sugar and tobacco springs from ground
less apprehension. Under no circum-
stances will there come a destroying
flood of either crop, and to both should
be given every possible opportunity and
encouragement. The Filipino bolo will
be much better employed in cutting
sugar cane than in hacking American
soldiers
