OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPJR
I
THE Cuban incident has reached
the blood-letting point. The presi
dent has signed the resolution of
congress calling for the evacuation
of Cuba by the Spanish forces , anc
if the same is not done by noon to
morrow , the forces of this country
will drive them from the island.
The American and Spanish minis
ters have been recalled from theii
respective places of service auc
the North Atlantic squadron has
been ordered to move on Havana.
War is as good as declared , and
the haughty don is in a fair way
in the immediate future to learn a
lesson in civilization that may be
helpful to him.
The value of the sheep in the
United States has increased § 25- ,
000,000 in round numbers since
the inauguration of President McKinley -
Kinley , and is now the highesl
since 1893 , while the values ol
other farm animals and products
have also greatly increased.
The fact that the Democrats are
"hogging the persimmons" in the
matter of congressional nomina
tions wherevei the fusion proposi
tion is accepted by the Populists
is creating much dissatisfaction
among the members of the last
mentioned party , who see in it a
studied effort to exclude all Popu
lists from participation in national
affairs , and permanently side-track
the party.
THE yellows , who have been
shouting morning , noon and night
for war , are now pretending to la
ment because the financial burdens
must fall largely upon poor people
least able to bear them. But we
have never had a war in history
that was not paid for by the sweat
of labor's brow. The time to think
of war taxes imposed on the poor
is while there is yet a chance to
maintain honorable peace.
A RECENTLY published article ,
commenting upon the reduction in
value of farm land in New York
and New Jersey , calls especial at-
tentiou to the fact that the markets
in New York City , which were
formerly supplied with vegetables
from those two States , now receive
their supplies largely from the
South , which , through recent de
velopments in rapid transportation ,
refrigerator cars , and other mod
ern developments , are able to place
the products of their cheap labor ,
rich soil , and favorable climate in
the markets of the great cities in
competition with those located
nearer.
THE manufacturers of the Unit
ed States 'are joining with the far
mers in c6mpeting for the markets
of the world. American pigirou
is being shipped to Great Britain ,
steel rails to India , locomotives to
Japan and China , agricultural ma
chinery to Eussia and machinery
of all sorts to all portions of the
civilized world. Despite the claim
that a protective tariff would re
duce our exports , they have stead
ily increased since the adoption
of the Dingley tariff bill as to
products of farm and factory , the
exportatious of manufactures in the
first seven months of the Dingley
law being greater than in the cor
responding months of the preced
ing year under the Wilson law ,
while the importations of manufac
tures fell off in that time nearly
20 per cent as compared with the
corresponding period of the pre
ceding year.
