Boot 8uar Factories
Au especial advantage- to n locality
iu which tho culturo ot sugarbools
is established lies in tho necessity of
tho factory in tho vicinity Tho
bulk and weight of tho raw malorinl
nro so groat in proportion to valuo
that transportation to any consider
able distanco is out of tho question
Cotton wool silk flax and other
raw material of textiles may bo
transported at small cost to cities
distant from tho locality of their
growth and thoro convorted into
tho morchnntablo form Tho local
ity in which tho fiber is grown ro
coivos tho raw material price tho
cost of manufacture being distribut
ed olsowhoro About one third of
our cotton crop is made into cloth
in Eugland Tho beet sugar factory
must of nocossity bo established
close by tho beot Golds Each
factory gives omployment to hun
dreds of pooplo who become con
sumers of other products of uoigh
boring farms Tho United States
conaumod iu tho year 1895 19707 11
tons of sugar Iu tho same yoar wo
imported 1801860 tons of sugar
Tho cano sugar producod in Louisi
ana was 855413 tone and 92G8 tons
of cano sugar wore produced in
other States Thero were but about
80000 tons of beot sugar produced
iu tho wholo country A nolicoablo
fact in tho sugar trade is that a very
largH part of our imports i oine from
Germany a country by naturoless
adapted to the growth of Bugar beets
than tho United States During this
yoar farmers of tho United States
woro sanding thoir whoat to Liver
pool and soiling it at lo3s than tho
oost of production How mucli moro
profitably our farmers would have
been outraged if they had produced
tho sugar they imported from Ger
manyl Of course our American
farmers could not compote with
German boot sugar producers with
out protection in some form Tho
McKinley tariff gave a bounty of
10 a ton This rate was fixed as the
tho equivalent of the duties which
tho McKinley tariff ropoaled in tho
interest of tho freo breakfast table
Coffee aud toa being already on the
free list tho removal of tho duties
on sugar reliovod the breakfast tablo
from any form of taxation Tho
small ad valorem duty on sugar
under tho Wilson Gorman tariff
hardly covers the German bounty
on exports leaving tho German pro
ducer au oven race with tho Amer
ican for tho American market At
G0 por ton tho sugar imports of last
yoar would amount to 108291900
Under a wise policy of protection
this amount might be distributed
among tho farmers and beot sugar
factories in tho United States
Every dollar would bo distributed
in farming communities California
would not send its boots to New
England as it does its hides to be
converted into a merchantable form
Tho factory would bo located in
sight of tho farm and the entire
proceeds of tho industry would go
to tho onriohment of farming com

Tho following paragraph is going
tho rounds
Professor Falk of Vienna an
nounces that tho oarth will collide
with a comet on Novombor 10 1899
Tho earth itself will survive tho
shock but every living thing will bo
choked with the poisonous gases
and be fiually cremated
Enough is now known of tho
structure of comets to mako it safe
to say that a collision with one
would have little effeotupon the
oarth The most that would bo a
swarm of shooting stars from tho
combustion in our atmosphere of
the little motoorio Btoues of a cloud
of which tho nucleus of tho comet
is composed Tho vapors of tho
coma and of tho tail nro mainly
carbon and hydrogen and so tenu
ous that their presence could not bo

liko Ilorins Ono of tho FTousa
troops had carolossly sot fire to tho
mens quarters Seoing that tho
magazino was in dauger Captain
Bowor climbed on to tho top of tho

from spreading Ho wa however
unsuccessful and in a vory few
minutes thoro was a gonoral stam

momont
CASHED into the maoazine
and brought out shells rockets car
tridges and powder and succeodod
in saving tho only Maxim gun which
was in tho placo One other hoiiBe
which was used as a prison con
tained at the timo ono prisoner who
had boon tied to tho wall of tho
building which was quito open
Captain Bowor rushed iu to try and
savo him He had however no
knifo aud cnuld not cut the ropes
which bound him Twice the ofBcor
went in to try and savo tho man
but tho burning roof falling iu tho
man was burned to death Only a
few miles off an array of Ilorins was
onenmped and foaririg that they
might attack tho British at Ogobo
moso if they thought tho firo hsd
destroyed tho ammunition Captain
Bowor next day sot about testing
the cartridges shells rockots ets

One must award to our American
cousins in the pross a large amount
of liberality Thoy ofton accept
with oalmuoss sneering comments
on thoir habits and customs that we
should not endure with natiencn

about our cities nor as proud of our
littleness as thoy ore Tho Ameri
can Notes of Rudyard Kipling wero
no loss scathing than thoso of Dick
eus But the criticisms of Dickons
belonged to an early and au unset
tled pnriod and touching tho woes
of Edou wero known to have as
good a foundation as tho founda
tion of tho lots in Eden wero weak
and watery Kipling ontored tho
Golden Gate smarting from the
greivances of pirated books and ho
took it out against all comers
Oliver Wendell Holmes says that
tho Yaukce school marm tho cider
and the salt codfish of tho EaBtorn
States are responsible for what ho
calls tho nasal accent I know bet
ter They stole books from across
tho water without naviucr for thpm
and the snort of delight was fixed
in their nostrils for ovor by a just
Providence That is why thoy talk
a foreign tongue to day This is
a mild and amusing accusal ion com
pared with somo of Kiplings baok
handors and fquare facors and yet
our cousins road him praiso him
and apostrophise him at parting
for ho is uudorstood at last to have
loft America for good in ballads

this
