in India, Japan and China they are
always shOrtsin this country. In
other words, the records show tha;
rice crop conditions all over the
world are, general y speaking, sim
liar. A heavy American crop is
always accompanied by heavy
Asiatic crop. aud light Asiatic
crop means short American crop.
The consequence is that when CROPS
are short in Asia we have no rice
to sell abroad because we have no
more than enough for our own con
sumption, aud when we have rice
for export everybody else has it
and low prices are the result.
In good crop years, like 1903 and
1904, ii foreign rice were admitted
free we would have to compete with
it on a basis of about "a cent a 10. ,
freight added, aud in short years,
like this year, our rice could not
sell for over two and half to three
cents for number. one, in competi-
ton with Asiatic rice.
The time will probably come,
when our rice farmers shall have
learned to raise twenty bags to the
acre where they raise ten now,
whcD We can take off the duty and
compete with India in the markets
OF Europe, but until that time
comes We need the tariff to raise
rice at a profit on the Gulf Coast -

"1n my opinion Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best made for colds" says
Mrs. Cora Walker OF Portervile, Califor-
MIA. There is no doubt about it's being
the best. No other will cure a cold SO
quickly. No other is so sure Il preventive
of pneumonia. No other is so pleasant
and safe to take. These are good reasons
why it should be preferred to any other.
The fact is that few people are satisfied
with any other after having once used this
