4 F4pOrS CORRESPONDENT.

The death Of Sir William Russell IS an Incl
dent of personal and historic interest rather
than of practical importance TO the world at
large His life work was done years ago and
he had ceased to be the commanding and infiu-
entail figure which he had been for a genera
ton. He belonged TO an order of things which
has largely passed away. and which so far
II remains has been UNNECESSARILY modified by
the changes of human progress But he made
his mark broad and deep and lasting. In the
history of his times. and his passing away is
Mt once a reminder of the work which he did
and also of the altered circumstances which
now exist in the profession which he conspicl-
ously adorned.
As Bull Run Russell he incurred much I'M
populartty-nOt to use a harsher term-in this
country which he did not altogether deserve
His sympathies with the South no doubt
hut we do not know that his partisanship was
any more marked than that of some American
writer's in the O-Japanese War I'm the
Boer War and in other international contro
versies The criticisms which he made upon
our military organzation-0r lack OF organiza-
tion-were more nearly just than we were in
clined to admit al the time, and they were
certainly no harsher than those which he made
upon his own cOuntry's army In the Crimea
Moreover despite his Partially toward the
South he depicted and denounced the evils of
its peculiar institution" no less strongly than
q New England abolitionist could have done
War correspondence in his time was vastly
different from what it has since become The
telegraph the cable and the telephone have
revOuuonized the work. But IN sense of re-
sponsibility well as in righteousness OF effort
and also in technical knowledge and IN Use of
English speech. the most advanced special of
today might perhaps with advantage learn

SUGAR FROM THE PRILIPPIHEN

Opponents in the Senate Of the Philippine
Tariff bin have argued with same show Of self
conviction that the admission OF Philippine sugar
free, or even at - per cent of the Dingley tariff
rates. would work irreparabe injury to he
American sugar industry. The Tribune has
never been impressed by this reasoning, which
rests on the premise that the Philippine archi-
pelago will multiply its sugar production two
hundredfold. drive ali other non-domestic sugars
out Of market and then, by underselng
exterminate our beet and cane sugar interests
j. is hard 10 persuade an alarmist that his APP
prehensions are wholly imaginary. Yet we think
that even those who lie awake at night meditat
ing on the terrors of Filipino competition will be
able 10 ease their fears if they study carefully
the figures of sugar production. Importation and
consumption in the United States IN 1906. which
have just been compiled ny the Bureau of Stats
tics Of the Department Of Commerce and Labor
Two or three important conclusions can be-
drawn from the facts presented. One is that
our consumption Of sugar has been increasing
enormously. In the half decade from 1875 To
1880 our average yearly consumption was S16-
800 tons. But in the half decade from 1901 10
1865 the average was 2,577. 4S9 tons and the
consumption for 1906 was 2.S64.013 tons. OF the
sugar consume we produce ourselves q rela-
lively small share. The development of Our
beet industry SINCE 1860 has been rapid The
pounds in 1900 10 672.OG0OO0 pounds last year
But even with this stimulus the domestic prod
Ict equals only DOB per cent of the total
sugar consumed. In 1903 il WAS 21.9 per cent
and IN 1895 1914 per cent: so that with all the
axpeU-.yu due To the cultivation Of beets our
non production no more than keeps pace with
a. increasing demand fer what has become with
is a universal necessity.
We have to depend on outside growers for
four-dfths o. our sugar supply From Hawaii
and Porto Rico we get one-fifth. from Cuba two
rfths. and from the Philippines and the rest of
the sugar producing world another fifth Porto
RicBn and Hawaiian sugar comes in free. Cuban
sugar pays 50 per cent OF the Dinglev duties
Philippine sugar pays - per cent and sugar
from all other countries pays the full Dingley
rate. But of the 6450653, 967 pounds of sugar
pat on our market in 1906 the Philippines sent
us only 262S3929 pounds. or four-tenths # l
per cen5. 1t must be accepted automatic that
the sugars paying the highest duties fix the
price IN our market. 80 long we import prac.
tically oneefth Of our present supply at the full.

TUSKEGEE IN NEED OF FUNDS
Mr.. Washingtons Work in South Has Pre-
vented His Raising Money

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Rather disturbed and unsettled conditions
in the South. far the race is concerned
have made me feel that il Is my duty 90 remain
South during the greater part Of the year. this
have done. I have spent my time az he
school and in travelling and speaking 20 mixed
audiences OF both races in various parts Of tbs
South. l feel that l have in this way accom-
pIished great good. and I quite sure. by
reason Of the work OF many broad and patriotic
white and coIorrd men. that the relations at
present are much more satisfactory and settled
but the time l have spent in this way has pre-
vented my getting into the Northern and Vest
ern States in the way I usually do for the Pur-
pose OF getting contributions for the work OF
Tuskegee Institute. The result is THAI We ara
much more IN need OF funds for current expenses
than usual
The president of one Of the state universities
in the South recently said TO a friend: Say 10
Professor Washington wish he could spend tho
next six or eight months. and longer II possisla
speaking in the South. He is needed badly here
now. l feel that the sentiment is growing bet
ter. and he knows what to say 70 help further
this good feeling"
Our needs are in two directions: First. 500
scholarships. with which 70 pay the tuition Of
students through school. and. second. money
with which TO increase our endowment fund 80
II viii not be necessary TO spend so much Of my
time away from the school collecting money for
its current expenses
Any money. whether in large or small suTn&
sent for those purposes will be OF great hslp %
our work and highly appreciated. Yours truly,
