CLERKS WANT SHORTER HOURS
Bushes. Men Will Change Evening

An effort is being made by some OF
the merchants to effect an early clos

that the clerks will not be compelled
to return to their work after the sup

Sentiment among the majority
seems to favor this move and 1t Is
the desire of the merchants to secure
expressions from the public regard

WEATHER HINDERS PAVING.
Had Expected to Begin Work This
Morning But Rain Of Last Night
Means Several Days Delay.
GREAT NORTHERN TO CLEAN UP

Preparations have been completed
to commence work on: the paving
which was to start this morning but
has been delayed by the wet weather,
A crew Of men will commence at the
end of Third street and pave up to the
city dock including the fire dock.
Firm here they will move to the
vicinity Of the Great Northern depot
and pave Minnesota avenue leading
up to that depot. ..z =, 4s , zl,es
Fourth street and a small stretch
ON Bemidji avenue will be paved next
and the crew will then finish up on
Beltrami avenue as far north as Sew
enth street. Two machines will be
used to rush this work to completion
as it will be necessary to finish the
work on the streets by the first part
of August as the contractors have a
large number of side walk contracts
which they wish to finish before fall.
As soon as the paving is completed
in the vicinity of the Great Northern
tracks and depot that railway com
pany will commence work on putting
the grounds around the depot in ex-
cellent shape.
The old depot will be torn down
and the ground covered by it will be
used for park purposes. l.
Several car loads of gravel and dirt
have been unloaded near the depot
and graded down to I'LL the hollows
so that the work to be done now will
not take much time and will be COM
pleted by the latter part of July or
first part of August.
Cement sidewalks will be laid from
the present walks up to the depot
platform, and many other improve
ments will be made to put the grounds
in an equally presentable appearance
with the building.

gar in the same amount Of cane.
In Cuba sugar cane grows natural
|ly, and is planted once every 10 years.
In Louisiana the cane must be re-
planted every year. There is never
frost in Cuba; in Louisiana the cane
must be cut. in October before matur-
ity to escape frost, thus accounting
for the lower sucrose content. Louis
lana sugar mills are antiquated:
while some Of the Cuban factories
are the latest and most efficient in
the world.
And so, though Louisiana wages
are much lower than those paid in
Cuba, it costs nearly four cents a
pound to produce pound Of raw
sugar in Louisiana, against a Cuban
cost of two cents. Said Representa-
tive T. w. Hardwick, of Georgia, the
great sugar expert of the house:
In order to produce a cane sugar
crop valued at $25,000.000, our
Louisiana friends insist that we
ought to continue a system of taxa
ton that costs the American people
STAG, 100000 in the increased price
of sugar. 1t is undemocratic; it is
unfair; it is unrighteous; and, so far
as 1 am concerned, will never stand
for a continuance of this policy to
keep duty on this great necessity of
life which cannot possibly be pro-
duced in Louisiana one-half as cheap
~ as it can in the balance of the
world" -T

Washington, June 19.-Compar'
the total investment in the American
sugar industry with the amount tn
duty ON sugar costs the American PEG
pie annually, and we pick up the clu'
explaining why, despite the pres
ence of the sugar Hobbies in Washing
ton, the two-cent tariff tax is to b.
removed from sugar. 49, &C.:
Exclusive of land and farm ami
mails (Which can be used in: othel
farming operations) the total in
vestment in sugar in the United
States is about $100.000,000. Fo,
the benefit of the few men owning
this industry, the American people
are taxed annually in the increased
price of sugar $14O,O0o,000 or $40.
100000 more than the total sugar in.
vestment. It is also $40,O0O,OO0
more than the total annual value OF
the American sugar crop including
its by products.
To the individual this tax amounts
to $3.50 or an annual charge OF $3.50
on a family of average size.
Since: 1897 the protection to the
sugar industry has scost American
consumers two thousand million dol
lars. But if the public got value: re-
ceived for this siim-in revenue to
defray the cost of government there
would not be so much complaint. But
the actual duty collected in Is years
has been only $SO0,000,000. The
balance, $1,200,000,O00, has been a
bonus pure and simple wrung from
the poor to create new group OF
American millionaires.
Leaving aside the principle that
sugar as prime fOd necessity should
come untaxed to the American pub
lie, the production of cane sugar in
this country is an artificial, unna'
tural industry. There are two types
of sugar production-frOm sugar
beets, grown in many sections of the
country, and from sugar cane, grown
along the gulf coast of Louisiana and
Texas. 1t is possible, indeed possible
that beet sugar production has now
progressed to a point where it car
be called a natural industry. If so
it does not need protection in order
to survive. But there is no natural
justification for cane sugar PRODUCTION
in tho United States.
1t is possible to grow bananas and

Yet not even the most rabid protec-
