ROBERT OXNAKD INTERVIEWED.
Vlco President of the American Boot
Sugar Company Says the Islnntl
Prospered Under Former Condi
tions.
The San Francisco Rullot In of
nry 4 contains an imurviuw with Robert
Oximrd which IH of ( 'Hpeolul intonmt in' '
Nebraska at thin ( line :
"RobortOxiiiml.viooprt'mdoiit of Mm
American Bout Sugar company , returned
to the city today after a roiiHldorablo
nbsoncoin Southern California. His
brother , Henry T. Oxiwrd , in ntlll in
Washington , where ho will probably re
main until congress takoH llniil notion
upon the Biignr tariff. The htrugglo be
tween the sugar trust and the bootmignr
manufacturers is of ospoolal interest in
California , where the bout migar in
dustry is of great and growing impor
tance. A strong effort IH bolng made by
thoBO interested In the industry to in
duce congress to maintain a Hudlotmit
tariff on the Ouban product < o glvo pro
tection to hoot sugar manufactured in
thin country
"Robert Oxnard , who has givonimiih (
tlmo and thought to the mibjoot , dirt-
cussed It at his olllco today , and pro-
nontod BOIIIO now and forcible arguments
in favor of protecting the homo indun
try. Ho paid :
" 'Thoro is ono point regarding this
Onlmn mutter which has an important
bearing on the position taken by HIOHO
who favor reciprocity from the wont I-
mental Hide. I have not fioon any men
tion made of it in any of the articles
that have como under my notieo. It is
this : Prior to the last revolution in
'Cuba , which led up to our war with
Spain , and which paralysed all the in
dustries of the island , the sugar Indus-
try of Cuba was in a highly prosperous
Btato , as evidenced by n steady increase.
in the amount of its production , which
nroso from an avorngo of about half a
million tons twonty-fivo years ago to
over ouo million ono hundred thousand
in 18U1. This result was obtained in spite
of a crushing load of debt and taxation
fastened upon the island by the Spanish
government. It was alHQ.obtaluod while
paying the full amount of import duties
on Cuban sugar into the United States ,
where it.r per cunt of the Ouban crop
was marketed. I mention thlH latter
figure as it disposes of the argument
falsley advanced that wo owe a reduction
in duties to Ouba because she haw boon
deprived of the Spanish market. Spain
always levied duties ngalust Cuban
sugars in order to foster her own homo
industry. Both boot and oiuio are culti
vated in Spain aud the homo industry
practically supplies ttio oiitiro homo
market.
" 'Wo have now relieved Cuba of the
entire load of the Spanish debt nnd the
crushing burden of Spanish taxation
imposed to pay the cost of the noldiora
that Spain maintained there to garrison
the island. Aud yet this industry ,
\vhich , as I have nhown , wits highly
prosperous under the previous adverse
circumstances , is not satisfied with the
improved conditions that wo have cre
ated for it , but asks to bi allowed ad
vantages that , if granted , will surely
checkif not. destroy , our promising boot
Bngar industry. This result would not
bo attained immediately , but through
the expansion of the Onbiu crop to the
point where it would supply all the
needs of the United States in the way
of sugar , at n price with which our
labor aud other conditions would not
allow us to compote. During the
period , when the Cuban sugar industry
was entering our markets free , and yet
not fnllv supplying thorn , the cost to
the United States of the concessions
asked for would be something enor
mous.
" 'Using figures published in the Sta
tistical Journal of Willet & Gray , wo
find that the probable consumption of
Bugar in the United States this year
should bo 2,300,585 tons. Of this quau
tity 1,000,000 tons in round numbers
will come from American sources free
of duty , leaving 1,300,585 to come from
other sources and on which duty is paid.
The average duty assessed IR $3G per
ton.
41 'Tho crop of the island of Cuba for
the coming year is expected to bo some
thing like 000,0000 tons. If this wore
admitted free of duty there would still
bo 400,585 tons to come from other
sources and on which duty would not
have to bo paid.
" 'It is a well known law of economics
that the price of all sugar in this country
would be fixed by the cost of those 400- ,
C85 tons , plus the duty that they would
have to pay to got into this country in
order to compete with the duty-free
sugar.
" 'The effect of letting Cuban sugar
como in free would therefore be to pro
eent to the Cuban planters f 30 per ton ,
or , in ono year , $33,400,000 , which nt
present goes into the treasury of the
United States. This bonus would in
crease year by year as the Cnban pro
duction expanded and our homo produo
tion declined , aud would bo a heavy
price to pay to foreigners in order to no
complish our own undoing.
" 'This sugar boot growing is today.
tlu ) mofltproinlHlngornp that IH olTtircd to
our farinorrt. ThlH fact IH reoognl/.od by
thn continental tmtloiiH of Huropo , who
foHlnr and protect It by nil nortu of
honiithiH , direct mid indirect , roali'/.ing
Unit It i * the corner Htono of tholr ngri-
onllurnl prosporlly. A great deal IIIVH
boon said about our protootlvo Hyntuni
bininlltiiig ovoryoiio oxoept the farmer ,
mill it HooniH a pity that the ono industry
which our protective Hyntoin gtvim him
to cotnpuiiHato for liln Haurlllcoa in ItH
luilmlf In other directIOIIH should now bo
threatened with extinction.
" 'I am vury much Hiirprinod that wo
luive hoard nothing whatever from 'tho
liihoring IIKIII'H organi/.atioiiH on thin
Hiibjoot. When I lived In Cuba , in tlio
mweiUieH , OliincBo laborers came into
thu harbor of Havana in Btoamor loadn.
I moan that actually HteamorH wore
chartered and loaded entirely with Chi
nese contract labororu , hired to work
for eight years for $1 per mouth. Those
Chinese , on lauding , would bo put up nt
auction just the name as negroes and
bought by the planters for the term of
tholr contract. In these days negroes
Vvoro worth in Cuba about $1,000 apiece
for ublo bodied men , while the Chinese
would Hull for about f 100 to f 100 apiece ,
tin their term of contract won only eight
years.
" 'I do not know to what extent Ohl-
nose may bo going to Cuba now , but it
Rtands to reason that If the American
market is thrown open to thorn nt a ro-
( ( notion of duties , the expansion of their
sugar industry will again ncccasitato the
importation of coolie labor. Sugar
making in tropical countries has never
succeeded except through sorvllo labor
in BOIIIO form or another. Wo BOO an
example of tliiw today in the Hawaiian
inlands , whoso planters are clamoring
for apodal labor laws to enable thorn to
Import Chinese- and .TapanoHo for their
plantations , claiming that otherwise
their industry cannot bo made prospnr-

distinguished rubles of the orient , m-
blcf ) of Siam and spinel rubies. The
ruby of the orient IH the first of all col *
ored atones in beauty , as In price. Ita
marvelous hue Is that of the human
blood as It jets from an open artery ,
that of the red ray of the solar spec
trum at Its maximum intensity.
The ruby Is one of the most cxqut-
Blto products of nature , but It Is bo-
comlug more and more raru to find It
perfect. It even causes astonishment
to llnd an oriental ruby at large In
slec as the topazes and sapphires of
the Mine countries. If It reaches a
certain size , tt IB almont always filled
with defects. Rubles of all sixes arc
put to oso. The smallest , down to
twenty or thirty to the carat , nre em
ployed specially for delicate Jewels ,
for numbers , figures , etc. Many of the
smallest arc cabochoim. When a ruby
exceeds the weight of n carat , It com
mands a high price. A ruby mny fetch
ten or twenty times the price of n diamond
mend of the same weight if it Is really
of a superior quality. *

"When 1 go to the theater , " says n
churchman quoted In the Philadelphia
Record , "I sit In n finely upholstered
sent Underneath Is a rack for my hat.
nnd on the back or tlie sent aiicau is a
place to hang my overcoat. In the
church which I attend every Sunday
Is an uncomfortable , straight backed
pew , Into which the ushers always In
sist upon crowding visitors after my
wife nnd I are seated until sometimes
six persons are seated m a space
scarcely largo enough for four to sit
comfortably. Hate and wraps must
look out for themselves.
"Of course , when I go to the tlieater
I pay for my seat ; but , In spite of tb
fact that salvation Is free , I also pay
pew rent In church. I might also enter
a protest against women wearing ttielr
bate In church , but I won't Somfr ;
times If a a relief to retire behind one.w
How Lamp Chimney * \Ver Invented.
Lamp glasses were Invented by
Alme Argand , the Inventor of the fa
mous lamp and gas burner which beara
his name. He had been experimenting
for some time in trying to Increase the
light , but to no purpose. On the table
before him lay the broken neck of an
oil flask. This he took up carelessly
and placed It , almost without thought ,
over the wick. A brilliant flame was
the result , and the hint was not lost
upon the experimentalist , who pro
ceeded to put his discovery Into prac
tical operation at once.
