Industry.
ldaho's Young Congressman Opposes
Philippine Tariff Bill Because hs
Declares Il Will impovsrish
Leading Industry Of
the State.

Washington. Jan. 25.-The Philippine
tariff bin, the administration measure,
passed the house Of representatives
last week after one OF the most bit
ter fights that has taken place in that
body in years. and after two weeks OF
debate in which the most brilliant men
in congress were arrayed.
Burton l.. French. the brilliant young
representative from Idaho. delivered
one Of the most interesting speeches
Of this session OF congress. He set
forth in a logical, eloquent and con-
vincing manner his reasons for oppos-
ing the measure. which he believes
will destroy or severely impair the
sugar industry in Idaho, without COM
pensating advantage to the Filipino
or the consumer in this country. and
with an advantage only to the sugar
trust. Mr.. French was paid close at
tention and received hearty applause.
He began his speech in the following
clear and convincing manner:

Makes Earnest Plea.

Mr.. Chairman: 1t Is after a great
deal Of hesitation that I address this
body upon the question that has been
attracting its attention for most OF the
time during the past week-the tariff
bill as affects the Philippine islands.
Anyone to speak upon this measure
should not only be in earnest in the
cause that he represents. but he should
be thoroughly informed upon the prin-
ciples and the workings of the tariff
question. He should be fully acquaint-
ed with the conditions Of our own
country, the conditions in the Philip
pine islands and our responsibilities
thereto, and last Of all. he should
weigh carefully the effect Of the pas.
sage Of this bill upon an industry thai
the republican party has sought te
build up for the benefit of the Amer.
lean farmer, the American wage earnel
and the American consumer"
| AS a theoretical reason for his op
position to the bill he said:
Il am opposed to the bill. I regar'
1t as blow against the principle upol
which the republican party has stoo'
since 1t was born a half century ag
| beneath the oaks Of Michigan. Sine
that time 1t has stood for the polio.
Of a protective triff to American indus
tries that need protection. and sine
that time and under that policy w
have seen our Industries develop. on
country prosper, our laborers bette
paid, and our millions Of homes hap
pier than those in any other land"

"Who Receives the Benefit ?"

I'VE saw a little while ago that SUI
gar can be produced cheaper in the
Philippine islands than 1t can be pro-
duced here. But who will receive the
benefit Of this reduction? The bill does
not contemplate that the American
consumer shall receive the benefit but
rather the producers i'm the Philippine
islands. Or even II 1t did contemplate
that the benefit would be for us at
home the bill would fall short OF it's
purpose because the price would b
fixed by the sugar barons Of the Ameri-
can sugar trust. The beet sugar COM
panies cannot produce sugar for less
than about 81 per hundredweight
Three -fourths OF this cost price goes
to the farmer who raises the beets
and to the laborers employed in hand
ling the crop. Should this bill pass
the sugar trust could place the sugar
from the Philippine islands upon the
| American market for less than SO pei
hundred pounds. and they would us'
that advantage in cost price to drive
the beet sugar industry from the Amer
lean continent. Sirs, this must com,
or else the American farmer must b.
degraded. the American laborer mus
receive lower wages. and the Ameri
can home be in want of that which GU
ideals demand"

Its Importance to Idaho.

In regard to the Importance Of the
industry to Idaho, he said:
Our land is rich. We can raise a
thousand products, but that crop is
best which brings the greatest returns
to the farmers. We can raise alfalfa,
but there Is limit to our consump-
ton. We can raise grains, but you OF
great market and our profit Is con-
sumed in freight. What we want now
is a crop which will not alone be able
to be handled, but will produce a mar
ket which will utilize our other crops.
This the beet sugar industry will fur
nish. We have today three factories
representing a capital OF about $4,000
900. These factories are larger than
the average and each one has slicing
capacity OF 1000 tons Of beets per day.
To supply these beets requires a lit
tie more than $1,000 acres OF land or
about 1000 acres for each factory. More
than this. each factory paid to the
farmers who raised the beets and the
ioc'iOiS Vi'PioSVN upoi' ahC AoShS' al
average OF over 100000 last year. or
an aggregate OF over 100000 for the
three factories"
Mr.. French's opposition to the bill
was partly based upon a fear that
cheap labor would be brought into
competition with American labor. On
this subject he made the following
| statement:

The system briefly outlined in the
foregoing would permit Of the West

and would also permit those people
on certain streets where they consider
their present mains sufficient to con

they were found inadequate and a

best to have a new one. 1t is certain
that IL the mains now in use were to
be connected up east and west by a
four-inch main, their capacity would
be increased to a great extent, as they

thus relieve other streets now supply

Expense would be approximately S2S,

Brazilian Pebbles.

Brazilian pebble is a name given to
large masses of particularly transpar-
ent quartz or rock crystal. which is
most a~hundantly found in Brazil, al
though material quite as good occu's
somewhat sparingly in Switzerland
and Madagascar. AS regards trans
parency and hardness the Brazilian
pebble was far superior to the best
product of the old glass meters, but
the modern glass is quite as good as
the crystal. In fact the mineral is
now little used, and the name persists
mainly as a trade epithet intended to
express superior quality. Good glass
for lenticular purposes is now made
In the United States; but the best,
such as would be employed in astro-
nomical and microscopic work, still
comes from France and Germany.

First Known Use of Raper.

There is no country which has not
had its learned and elaborate inquir-
ers as to the means through which
Europe became acquainted some time
about the eleventh century with the
article of paper. Casiri, however,
while employed in translating Arabic
writer's, has discovered the real place
from which paper came. 1t has been
known in China, where its constituent
part is silk, from time immemorial.
In the thirtieth year of the Hegira lin
the middle of the seventh century, a
mandatory of similar paper was
established at Samarcand, and in 706.
fifty-eight years afterward, one You.
zef Amru of Mecca discovered the art
of making it with cotton, an article
more commonly used in Arabia than
silk.
