She has been inclined to patronize Spain, from whose tyranny we rescued her, rather than to patronize this country. The United States has given Cuban sugar and other Cuban products a special reduction in duties to the amount of 20 per cent. That has permitted Cuban sugar, cigars and other products of tobacco, her principal exportable products, to come in at rates of duty one-fifth lower than is paid by other countries. It doesn t look as if we had dealt very narsn ly with Cuba. No government is organized to protect and build up the industries of another country; that duty devolves upon the country itself. Having freed Cuba and placed her on her feet, it is not incumbent upon us to wet-nurse her through her entire future existence. It is the duty of this government to develop its own sugar industry, along with all other indus tries. We are doing so and the result is that there is a large amount of sugar on the market and prices are low. Sugar would not be so low in price but for our domestic industry. No nne can disnute that ooint. The consumers of the United States benefit from the low prices. Does Mr. Brisbane want them to do otherwise? n"M i. u- i i-i. i a i i i i: : at ArrW PricW !, onnnnco h r ho rncrW salaried A"at tan ue urougni aooui uy lowering or aooiismiig uie ,mx- r, w ttu sfoto Tf tw .rprpivps duties on . sugar and destroying the sugar industry of the VWakVA AAA VUW ' VaUVVU W j We -av - U wwe m-mv a. w . v $100,000 a year from the Hearst papers, besides parts of the profits of . some of them.

FOOLISH SAYINGS OF A WISE MAN puppies left here lately on the Canadian Pacific liner Mellta for Antwerp. From there they travel across France to Switzerland, where they will form the nucleus of a fox breeding establishment. Theae foxes were purchased in iN'ew Brunswick, from which prov He is a singlarly well informed man. But he has his foolish days. At least he had one recently. In his column in the New York American for November 1st, he had the following: t : . "The American tariff on sugar is ruining Cuba, a friendly neighbor io which) decent -treatment. i i "Cuba's commercial balance of trade with the United States has fallen in the last year from ?I6J,OO0,OOO to' '$85,- OOOMtip 1 ; : V ' ' ' k v? - "Cuba, with commercial generosity, continues buying in oirr markets, while we, with our cut-throat sugar tariff, are doing all we can to strangle the prosperity of Cuba. "The tax we inflict on Cuban sugar amounts to more than one hundred per cent. p "One hundred and seven pounds of raw sugar make one hundred pounds of granulated sugar. It costs about one cent a. pound to make raw sugar into white sugar. The Cuban sugar grower, after paying " freight, lighterage, warehouse, railway tax on , industrial process and other costs, gets less than one half a cent a pound for the raw sugar refined and retailed here at six cents. . , - "Under such conditions the Cuban grower cannot live. Leaving out any question of decency.it is against the interest of this country to destroy Cuba's sugar industry. A little . while ago Americans were eagerly buying for $25 a bag of sugar that can be bought now for $5 to $6.,. n.. ; ; " "Unless housewives want to see the price of sugar go up again they will do well to lay. in a supply and help get rid of the present surplus. made to the past year or ments have been other side in the two." "a The Southern Pacific has let the contract to August Kehrberger to pave the part of the street that was occupied by its track on Nor- about two and a half blocks, or about 700 running feet. The peo ple in that part of the city have been anxious to have this work done. V " A great ado is being made in British Columbia about the hens inces a number of similar ship- way, from Broadway to Churoh;that laid 268 eggs each, on the average, in the recently closed an-V nual contest for that province. Down here we have pens that run over 300 each, and have had for a long time, and individual hens with records up to 335 eggs. But the Salem district is the best pout try country in the world. What Mr. Brisbane says in the above would disgrace the average American high school boy - For who before ever thought that any country was com mitting an economic or other crime by decreasing its balance of trade in favor of. another country? Some of thetime we have bought of her about twice as much as he has bought of us. And how has Cuba favored the United States in other United States a result which would inevitably follow. Mr. Brisbane speaks of our having had to pay $25 a bag for sugar, while it now can be bought for $5 or $S a bag. Yes, and we paid that price under a much lower tariff. As matter of fact, we made the Cubans and a few New York gamblers rich ,by the exorbitant prices which we hjjd,to pay for sugar at that tnne; We can bardly4 think underline cir cumstats that iKe people of this country will feel any great amount of, ympaKy!, for the Cubans because of their present plight, as Mr. Brisbane so touchmgly describes it. . i But the American Economist, noticing the article of Mr, Brisbane, says : "But is Mr. Brisbane thinking about the Cubans at all? Does it happen that he owns an interest in any Cuban plan tations himself, or that he has business interests closely iden tified with men who do own them? Is there a reason not apparent to the public, and what is that reason ?" If there is basis for the insinuation of .the American Economist, the facts oughtfto be dragged out and given to the public ' And the fact is that every day that the Wall Street junta owning the refineries along the Atlantic seaboard, and own ing or controlling the sugar cane plantations and lands in Cuba Every day that this bunch is allowed to get away with the 20 per cent reduction in tariff charges on their raw sugars, is a disgrace to every man in Congress, and a disgrace to the intelligence of the leaders of thought in the United States. ... This 20 per cent was given in order to help strickenn Cuba, after we had freed her And now it helps principally the Wall Street sugar trust, and the tobacco kings of this country. The fact that th3 Cuban farmer gets so little 'is a proof of this latter state ment. But Mr. Brisbane is somewhat mistaken. 1 he Cuban farmer gets a little more than he says out of each pound oii sugar made from his cane. He gets $1.16 a hundred pounds, instead of less than half a cent a pound. i x mm a . t aj a i m ?a trm 'w& 'Avro ? vrtecliCS'tAve;- M an Ejire. Sfe1 ' AruJc?lpHS poSB.
