FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
INDEPENDENT PARTIES.

We wish all the workers and their
friends to understand that in this
campaign these third party "independ-
ent" movements are often merely Re-
publican sideshows. Without the
knowledge of their deluded adherents
they are sometimes financed and most
unscrupulously manipulated to insure
the continued dominance and success
of this party most closely allied with
the Interests" and representing them.
Do our men Of labor and their friends
wish to aid in accomplishing any
such result? If not, they must scru-
tinize keenly these specious third
party movements put forward to de-
feat by indirection labor's effort to en-
force it's demands for justice and
right-Labor Leader.

NEW INDUSTRY WHICH .

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s-Dr
Champion, chief chemist Of internal
revenue, and Mr.. John G. .Capers, U.
S. commissioner Of internal revenue,
have just returned from Europe on a
mission which is Of great Importance
to the United States, studying the
new methods OF the manufacture of
nethylated, or denatured alcohol from
natural gas and crude petroleum, the
bi-products Of which the Standard Oil
company extracted hundreds of mill
lions OF dollars.
when the law was passed remov-
ing the tax on denatured alcohol"
said DR.. Champion, 1.-THE hopes Of the
American people ran high. Their ex-
pectations have not yet been realized.
However, they overlooked the fact
that they didn't know anything about
operating such destilleries

A
DAY FOR SUGAR
AVERAGE AMERICAN EATS OWN
WEIGHT IN SUGAR YEARLY.
Statistics Show Rapidly Growing De-
mand for Sugar, and No Danger Of
overproduction of Destined Great
Staple Crop of this Valley.

According to government stats
tics, showing the amount of sugar
per capita consumed in the United
States, an dthe total production of
| States, and the total production of
that staple in this country; with the
amount imported. there is no danger
whatever of an oyerproduction of this
article. which is undoubtedly destined
to be the great staple crop of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. The sta
tistics were given to the reading pub
lie in Washington dispatch of recent
date which reads as follows:
Sugar Statistics.
Cold figures gathered by the Blu
reau of Statistics show that the aver
age citizen consumes half his own
weight in sugar every year and Uncle
Sans sugar bill averages a million
dollars day
A statement issued by the bureau
reads more like popular fiction than
an odrinary Government Report. The
total consumption of sugar in the
United States in 1907, which is the
latest year for which statistics are
available, reached the almost IN
thinkable figure of 1853, 667.975
pounds.
The statement shows that 21.3 per
cent, or in round numbers 1 ,551, 0OO,-
600 pounds, of the sugar consumption
OF the country was home production /;
III per cent, or 1,214.G00, 600
pounds, was brought from insular pos
sessions, and the remaining 81 per
cent, or 100000 pounds, came
from foreign countries. Fifty-three
million pounds was the aggregate of
the expectation of sugar from this
country.
The United States record for 1907
waR unique in that the quantity of
that product imported from foreign
countries was larger than in any
year ofthe past decade, and the per
capita consumption was the largest
ever recorded, an average of 50. 6
pounds for each man, woman and
child of continental United States.
An equally interesting feature of
this record year of 1907 was the fact
that the production of beet sugar for
the first time exceeded the production
of cane sugar, the product of the year
being: Cane sugar, $4,000, 600
pounds; beet sugar. 967,000.0OO
pounds
The worlds production has prac-
tically doubled in the past twenty
years. having grown from 17,00O,-
100000 pounds in 1887 to $4,000
100000 pounds in 1907, and while
the United States consumed about IS
per cent of the total worlds product
ion in 1887 it consumed % per cent
of the greatly increased production of
1907. Beets now supply one-half of
the grand total produced, while TWEEN
ty years ago they supplied but about
one-third of the total product

PROSPECTIVE IMPROVE
MENTS.


Owing to unavoidable delays in
completing the new Herald building
which is being constructed on the cor
ner OF Washington and Twelfth
streets. the improvement which has
been planned to be made in the paper
has been necessarily postponed for a
short time. However. the work on
the building is now progressing salts
factorily, and it is expected that with
in another month, it viii be finished,
and The Herald will be established in
its new home. Steps have been taken
to secure dispatches for The Daily
Herald by that time. and at the same
time the paper will be enlarged, so as
to accommodate the additional read
ing matter that will thus be pub
lished. as well as the growing adver-
Using patronage which the paper is
receiving. The plant of the paper
viii also be improved by the addition
Of such machinery as may be neces-
sary to print the two papers now pub
lished in this Office.
The aim of the management is to
make The Herald one of the very best
small dailies in the state Of Texas,
and no pains viii be spared to do
this. Many improvements have al
ready been added to the plant, and,
when the daily edition is enlarged as
announced, and the press service in
daily use, tits believed that the people
Of Brownsville and the entire Valley,
win have a daily paper of which they
VIII be proud. The Herald. has been
identified with the development of
this great Lower Rio Grande Valley
for over sixteen years past. and it
win now do all in its power to keep
abreast of the wonderful develop
ments which it has done so much
during all these years to promote
The various business men Of this COM
munity and of the entire Valley have
extended the most encouraging assur-
ances of assistance to the paper in its
efforts to make the proposed improve
ments, and there is every reason to
believe that the additional expense
thereby incurred viii be fully
counterbalanced by the increased
patronage which the enterprising
and public spirited men who are
doing such great things in the
promotion of this Valley will give to
the institution which IS working
hand in hand with them towards the
same great end. It is realized, Of
course, that without such co-opera-
ton on the part of its patrons and
friends, the proposed improvements
in the paper would be more than
could be undertaken at present. But
with the encouragement and support
OF such men and enterprises as are
now in evidence on every hand in
This valley, there is every reason to
believe that The Herald can easily be
made a paper of which every person
living in the Valley can justly be
Droud.
