To the Unknown Dead.

All honor to the patriotic women Of
Augusta through whose efforts monu-
ment has been erected in Mt. Pleasant
cemetery to the 65 unknown soldiers
formed noble public service and have
earned the sincere thanks of the COM
munity. The monument is a fitting
memorial to those boys Of '61-'65 who
died in camp here. either while await
ing orders for the front or after return
ing from the South. They gave their
lives TOR their country as truly as
though they had fallen amid the red
carnage Of battle or had wasted away
in Southern prison pens. Death came
to them far from their homes, and
their loved ones waited in vain for
their return or even for news of them.
Some lie i'm unmarked graves and Of
many there is no record of name or
regiment.
1t is not strange that there are thou
sands Of graves marked unknown"
on southern battlcfclds and in
the rational cemeteries but it is hard
for us in these days to understand how
80 many could have died in the camps
and hospitals Of this peaceful northern
city and leave So little record behind
them. But such was the wholesale
tragedy Of that great war. and 50
cbcap was precious human life in those
dark and awful days. There iS a
special pathos in the story of the boys
above whose mingled dust this monu-
mcnt has been erected. They were
denied the part Of war which stirs the
pulse and fires the soul. Fate singled
them out from their comrades to be
given her untindcSt thrust, making
their cnd Obscure ana seeking to have
thci,. very names and service forgotten
bv the hurrying world. But grateful
people remembers the sacrifice they
made and honors their memory. Thanks
to the Ioyal women of Seth Williams

of granite and bronze. which was dedl-
Gated Yesterday, will tell their story n

American Trade With Cuba.

The present disturbance in Cuba cam
not fail to have bad effect on the
trade and industry of the island which
have been getting on very comfort
able footing since Uncle Sam set this
little republic up in business for itself
half dozen years ago. Cuba had
foreign trade in 1905-'O6 Of about $685.
O0O. OOO-exports $40 900. 900, imports $685.
OGO 900. This country now takes Sc per
cent. of Cuba's exports and supplies 40
per cent. of Cuba's imports. In the
fiscal year 1905-'06 we paid s6o,2oS. 14S
for Cuban sugar, s13,51O,367 for Cuban
tobacco, 81, 963, 9O2 for Cuban cigars and
cigarettes. s2,052 sol for Cuban iron ore.
81, 0Oo 500 for Cuban bananas. s52S.746
for Cuban molasses. For other Cuban
products of various kinds and bought
in widely varying quantities we paid
all told-s3, 1855 Our total pur-
chase from Cuba in the twelvemonth
was sS4 ,979s 31.
Now for the other side of the ledger,
Cuba's total purchase from US in the
twelvemonth was si6,377,2T. Many
mickles make a muckle; our small sales
to Cuban customerS-so small that Sec
rotary Metcalf's statistical man didn't
take the trouble to list them for publ
| acknowledgements the quite respecta :
BILE sum of s19 s65.676. Our listed sales
| to the Cuban customers in the fiscal
| year 19O5-'O6 were these: American
| wheat flour, $3.50 500; lard. s2,755,S1%;
boards, planking. etc. S2.459,6oi; cattle
sl,9.7,0Ss: bituminous coal, s1,S0l, $50;
boats and shoes, sl.7797y6; carriages
and cars 81. 1921; coffee. green or
raw" s1.376.175; corn. 1920, 500: cotton
cloths. $1.049. 4O6; vegetables. s9l?,Soo;
lard compounds s5O6,9o6: furniture

s6t2, $50; builders hardware. saws and
tools, s6n.54s; electrical machinery
SOS 500; and hams, $52O,3S2.
Good az far as it goes. this isn't
nearly good enough. We should be
supplying at least o. to 20 per cent. OF
Cuba's yearly imports, instead OF
barely A. per cent. One of these days
we shall be doing it, The Cubans MI
not have so much sugar and tobacco

have had if they had arranged th"il

Iuggings guns in and machctes. In
surrections, even when not bloody, are
costly.

Canada is evidently impressed by the
fact that the American flag flies over
almost every schoolhouse in the United
States. The provincial ministry IN
Naoito ba has ordered that hereafter
the Union Jack must be flown during
school hours above every school which
receives funds from the public treas
ury. The government will provide the
first flag for each school. but the
trustees will be red buried to replace it
when it is worn CUT. and every School
which fails thus to display the flag dur
ing school hours will forfeit it's right
to public support. We have become
SO accustomed to such use of the
American flag on schoolhouses in this
State. and it seems to us so eminently
appropriate. that surprise is caused by
! the news that this order of the Mani
tohan government has met with some
| opposition and with unfaYorable criti'
cism in that province.
