SUGAR MIGHT BE CHEAPER.
Suggested National Policy that
Would Reduce the Price.

Suggested National Policy that
Would Reduce the Price.
Including Cuba, whose interest Ia
vital, four different groups are con-
cerned by the American sugar situa-
tion. There are (1) the American gov
eminent, which receives a little more
than $50,000,000 a year In revenue
from the tariff on sugar; (2) our do
nestle and our insular producers, to
whom that tariff is a direct benefit to
the extent of about $5O,0OO,OOO a year;
(3) the consumer, who is interested in
lower prices, and az the Cubans, who
are so largely dependent upon the
American market for their livelihood.
In an article in the Information Ed
ward f., Atkins of Boston, the owner
Of a large plantation in Cuba, works
out this problem along an interesting
and probably correct line.
With a general assumption of the
continuance Of present political and
fiscal conditions Mr.. Atkins says:
ITO all appearances our importations
Of foreign sugar, other than Cuban, will
soon end and from that time, If do.
nestle and Cuban production keeps
pace with increased consumption, as is
anticipated, a differential to Cuba
would protect her against other coun-
tries and reduce cost to consumers In
the United States" He holds that 'the
protection of even the Cuban rate
(about 1.35 cents a pound) now gives
the domestic sugar producers so large
a margin of profit that they can well
afford to drop prices below Cubas cost
in order to market their goods" He
claims that In the almost certain event
Of the reduction of competition to our
domestic product and the Cuban prod
net a very material reduction could be-
made in the present Dingley rate.
Should that be done two results
should follow: There should be reduc-
ton in selling prices and important in
crease in consumption. The initial loss
Of revenue to the government would
soon be Offset by Increase in imports
from Cuba. Increased demand should
stimulate domestic production. The
Dingley rate, practically a maximum
rate, would keep out the sugar of other
countries If Cuba were given a differ
entail, or what might be regarded aa
minimum rate. This differentiai
would virtually assure to Cuba mar
ket for her product and so divide the
market between her output and our
domestic supply.
The argument is certainly worth a
careful consideration by the authorl-
ties.-New York Sun.

OUTLINE DEFENSE OF HAYWOOD
Richardson and His Associates viii
Set Forth Counter Plot.

Set Forth Counter Plot.
Boise, Idaho. June 17-That Orchard
was wonderful witness cannot be
denied and that all the cross-question-
ing of Richardson only helped to
strengthen the testimony of the state
is also true, but for all this there is
nothing but optimism expressed by
Haywood's legal regiment. in the cele-
brated case on trial here. So far
these men haze been purely on the de-
fensive. Next week they expect to
carry the war into Africa and they
promise a sensational campaign.
The star witnesses will be put for
ward by the defense and the promise
is made that their testimony will be
no less alient than that of Orchard
himself. One of those men will be
Haywood and the other Steve Adams,
although Adams was first listed as a
witness for the state. He made a con-
fesison corroborating Orchards story.
Then, as soon as he got an attorney,
he repudiated this statement abso-
lutely, declaring it was extorted from
him by Detective MCFARLAND, through
threats and promises. Immediately aft
er he was taken to Wallace, Idaho, and
placed on trial for the murder of
Fred Tyler. The jury disagreed, stand
ing seven for conviction to five for
acquittal. Detective Mcfarland, how
ever, seems determined to have his
point if possible and it has been an
nounced that Adams will be taken to
Telluride, Colo, for trial for the muir
der of Collins, superintendent of the
Smuggler Union mine.
Adams takes his situation philosoph-
ically. He feels that every public Of
ficials hand is against him and that
the officers are determined to have
him dance on the end of a rope in one
state or another, he docs not give a
-, but he will give them a run for
their money before they complete the
job"
1t was decided that Mr. barrow will
make the opening statement for the
defense on Wednesday, and immediate
ly after the work of interrogating the
$50 witnesses called in Haywoods' be-
half will be begun.
1--WE intend to uncover this bloody
trail which the mineowners have left
throughout the entire region. The jury
heard, this man Naylor take the stand
and recite how the militia had shot
up miners headquarters at Victor;
how he had deported men without re-
eard to their legal rights; how min
ers had been openly slain and their
murderers protected by the mineown-
ers' association, and we will show be-
fore this trial ends the reason the
Pinkertons and the mineowners want
ed Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
hanged and Orchard, the self-confessed
murderer of a score of men, set free. -
This statement was made by one of
the leaders of the defense.

Wreck Near Sand Point.

A serious wreck occurred near Sand
Point, Idaho, last Monday when the
east bound North Coast limited on the
Northern Pacific was ditched and
traffic delayed for more than eight
hours. When the cars finally stopped
they lay in zigzag position across the
track. The station house at Boyer was
struck by the flying cars and was total
ly demolished. All the passengers
were severely shaken and several
slightly injured. The derailment is
thought to have been due to an open or
a tempered switch. Two of the injur-
ed passengers were taken to the hos
pital.

OLD


Morning.
But who the melodies of morn can tell
The wild brook babbling down the
mountain side?
The lowing herd; the sheepfold's simple
bell;
The pipe of early shepherd, dim de-
serted
In the lone valley, echoing far and wide
The clamorous horn along the cliff
above;
The hollow murmur of the ocean tide;
The hum of bees, the linnet's lay of
love,
And the full choir that wakes the uni
versal grove.
The cottage ours at early pilgrim bark;
Crowned with her pail the tripping
milkmaid sings
The whistling piowman stalks afed and
bark
Down the rough slope the ponderous
wagon rings;
Through rustling corn the hare astonished
springs;
Slow tolls the village clock the drowsy
hour;
The partridge bursts away on whirring
wings;
Deep mourns the turtle in seeuestered
bower,
And shrill lark carols clear from her
aerial tower.

uNeER's BODY CONCRETE BRICK
Boston Undertakers Refuse to Bury
Ponderous Bulk.

Unable to find an undertaken will
ing to bury the remains of Herman
Unger, the Pittsburg suicide, Unger's
brother Odd Fellows in Boston have
written to his home lodge asking them
to take charge of their embarrassing
bequest. The difficulty arises from
the fact that in pursuance of Unger's
dying request, the Odd Fellows of Bos-
ton had his body cremated and mixed
the ashes with cement, making a con-
crete brick weighing over 100 pounds.
For several days now this huge brick
has been in the yard of the Water
Proofng company. Not only have un-
dertakers refused to handle it, but He
brew cemeteries have declined to re-
ceive it because Unger was a suicide.
The Odd Fellows have a burial certi-
.ficate, however, and unless the under
Makers make terms or the Pittsburg
Odd Fellows take charge, Unger's re-
mains are likely to bake in the sun
at the bricl1yard for an indefinite
period.

Their flag to Aprils breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers Stood
And fred the shot heard round the

Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seward

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day votive stone,
That memory may their deed redeem.

To die, or leave their children free,
