Recently In Los Angeles an cleo
trio car and q jltnoy came together
quito cXtchpOrancnu8ly. says the
Wall street journal There were no
fatalities. but the juln"y was prac-
tlcally demolished, and the accident
was brought into court on" Of the
Jackie" from the monitor Cheyenne.
His version Of the accident. ms cN-
pressed in a letter TO the claim agent
of tho trolley company, follows:
II was standing on tn" stnrboard
fO'castlc OF the ear when the gasoline
cutter HOY" in sight Off our port bow.
We were making about fifteen knots.
and the cutter was coming about the
same along another channel II was
clear weather and not much ground
swell
"Our chief engineer blow his aircn
and reversed his propeller. but he
couldn't heavc to In time to keep from
ramming her Their" wasn't even
time To got out the life pregorvcrR or
sound tho emergency call. We
smashed In couple OF the little
crafts Compartment Her captain
stuck to his post. The jitncy went
down like submarine
Il think the cause OF the wreck
was that IN" jtucys pinnacle light

Gaining in American Markets.
Cuba is a; peace Canada Is en-
broiled in the foreign war Things
used 10 be different II was Cuba that
was generally engaged in a ruction.
Canada and Cuba are vieIng with
each other rs to which shall have the
largest share of the United states
market which was turned over to
foreign enterprise by the Democratic
tariff law.
During TIA" ten months ended
April 1915. Cuba nosed Canada out
by little over 100000, sending
us $l3S. 100000 worth OF goods.
while Canada sent us but &133,OOO,-
600 OF course, large part OF
Cuba'S expectation to US consists OF
sugar. but the preHen; law cut the
duty on that. to the sorrow OF the
can and beet sugar producers Of this
country. During the ten months per
Tod ended April, 1916. Canada and
Cuba ran dead heat for the Ameri-
can market. both sending us $lG5.-
100000 worth OF goods. For Canada
this was an increase OF $67, 900. 900
over the ten months ended April
1913. under the Republlcan.tarifr law.
indicating the manner in which the
Democrats hurt the farmers OF this
country by encouraging tho importa-
tion OF Canadian agricultural prod
uctE Cuba beat the 1913 record by
1000, 900.
So. for the ten months ended last
April. we find these TWO countrIes
one AZ our northern, the other nj our
eastern door. passing uq $500. 900,
600 worth OF products compars with
100000 during the ten months
ended April. 1913. under the Rcpub-
llcan tariff law, and one Of these
countries at war.
BattcrinE ut our western portal.
Australia and New Zealand. China
and Japan. and the British East In
dies, during the ton months ended in
April. sent us $3.50. 900 900 worth Of
goods compared with S222.OoO. 900
for tho same period IN 1919. under
tho Republican law.
And while We have hoen spending
millions Of dollars blowing first hot
and then cold on that little pepper
pot At our southern entrance. Mexico.
with tho help Of Mr. Wilson and Mr..
Underwood. during tn" 1915 period,
sent US S79. 900 600 worth Of goods
compared with less than SGAO0O. 900
for similar ten months under the
Republican regime. Evidently those
countries believe that all ia fair in
free trade and war, but how many in
the United States believe IN the fair
ness Of free trade to tho American
producer? We shall know in Novcm-
Der.
