Whatever tuny be the notion of con
gress on tha proposed nmotidineiit to the
tariff bill providing for n beet sugar
bounty , the growth of the beet suiar ;
Industry Is ns nret1 under the piotcctlve
duties of the measure. 1'crimps a bounty
would have the effect to more vigorously
stimulate Its dcvclopiueiif , but In any
event the Industry Is certain to grow
rapidly under the new tariff , furnishing
another Illustration similar to that of
the tin plate Industry of the hciiclb-cnt
effect of judicious protection. The pies-
r-nt. condition of the beet sugar Industry
Is due to the bounty given by the tariff
law of l.ssK ) and If that bounty bad been
continued there can be no iluiibl that the
production of beet tngar In the TitMcd
States would be three or four times what
it Is. The certainty of adequate protec
tion for the Industry under the new
tariff has already had a decided effect
upon It. In nearly all of the twenty
states whose soil suid climate arc
adapted to the cultivation of the sugar
boot farmers are manifesting u lively
Interest In the Industry and while It Is
not possible to make an accurate esti
mate of this year's orop of beets , It will
be by far the largest ever pioduccd In
this country.
In isoo , befoie there was a sugar
bounty , the capital invented In the beet
sugar Industry In the wesiern states was
only ! ? : t.0tH ) ( ) . It is now over $ i' , : > iO.OfH ) .
In the same time the area of land
planted to sugar heels has Increased
from ' _ ' ,100 acres to . ' ' ( i.OOO acres. Ac
cording to Mr. Robert 1' . I'orler there
are today over ' ! , i)0 ) ( ) families In the west
Hint get their living by growing beets ,
by working In sugar factories , anil In
other employment connected with the
beet sugar industry. Sugar factories
are being projected in a number of
states. It Is said that ? niH10KlO ( will be
Invested in factories in California within
the next year , while several millions
more will go Into beet sugar plants in
Colorado ami the territories. A French
syndicate Is reported to have bei"
formed that will construct faclorles In
California. Xew Mexico and Texas. An
other syndicate of American capitalists
lias been formed to build three of the
largest beet sugar factories in the world
In the Arkanxis valley , Colorado. Utah
is to have another large factory ami
Xehrnska will have an additional one
constructed in time to handle next year's
crop.
Manifestly the outlook for the beet
sugar industry in the United Stales is
most promising and all that peems neces
sary to the realixatlon of this promise
Is that it shall receive proper considera
tion from congress. It must have the
encouragement of adeipiale protection
ami if in addition a bounty is deemed
expedient , as a means of promoting Its
development , it should have that also.
Mow essential protection is to the up
building of this Industry is shown by
1'rof. Wiley of the Agricultural depart
ment in tin artlele in the .Inly Forum ,
lie points out the Influence of bounties
on the Knropcau sugar Industry. The
important fact for our consideration Is
that under the export bounty policy of
( iermany and Fiance those countries
are able to export .sugar at n price that
has practically ruined the Knglish sugar
refiners and the British sugar iiroducinu
colonies , while in this country the elTee1
of the continental bounties is beginning
to be seriously felt. And the tendency is
to increase these bounties. Obviously if
we are to develop a. sugar industry thai
will ultimately supply the home demand ,
which everybody who has intelligently
investigated the matter believes can be
done , this Industry must have such pro
tection as will allow it to grow in spite
of foreign export bounties.

According to ( lie report of the chief
of the bureau of statistics , the exports
of manufactures for the mouth of Miy :
were unprecedented in amount , having
exceeded .fUli.OWMMX ) , which was neaily
: ! . " > per cent of the total exports. Tlr-
largest previous record for any single
month was for last March , when the ex
ports of manufactures readied nearly
S'JiUXKi.oiX ) . Compared with May of lasi
year tin- gain is very material. In the
year IS'.Hi ' the 1'nlted States exported
manufactures to the value of over . < . ' ' ! : . .
OOO.OiN ) and as now Indicated the exports
for the current year will be from 'i'i ; ( > , -
000,000 to ! ? 10,000.1100 greater. This
would be about double what they were
teit year < ago , which is certainly a very
gratifying increase.
It Is claimed by some thai this Im-reas"
Is dee to ihe present tariff , but the de
tails of the cxpott * do not support the
claim. For example , It dues not appear
that , free wool has enabled Am < > riean
woolen m'tnufielnrers : to extend their
markets abroad as the advocates of Hie
existing tariff said it would. The fact
Is that the gain made In exports of m ; n-
ufacturcs is due very largely to Ihe su
perlorlty of our products. The opponent. ,
of the new tariff profess to believe that
II will have the effect to reduce e.vport.s
of manufactures , lint they give no good
reason for that opinion and It Is sai'vt to
say that it will prove to bu erroneous ,

A projei't for the establishment of
steamship lines to the principal ports of
South America ha * : been presented to
the consldciallou of rhlladi'lpiim cap !
taints. The ranamerlean commercial
congress" recently held In that city lia-
awaKcitcd a very strong interest ! h-n
In the question of extending South
American trade. The manufacturers of
Philadelphia have already shown great
enterprise In this matter and It Is highly
probable that the project of stcunshl : < >
lines to the chief South American ; i.irir
will becairled out. bi'cause without ths |
all plans for extending tradu In that di
rection are very sure to prove more or
less unsatisfactory in results. This was
plainly stated In some of the addresses
made by the South American rt'prc.scnta-
ilvcs to the congress , who said that until
the manufacturers and merchants of the
rnlted Slates could send merchandise
to the southern countries In American
shifts they would be at a disadvantage
in competition with KurojM > an manufac
turers and merchants who ship In ves
sels of their own country.
There Is no doubt about this. It Is
the testimony of everybody familiar
with Uio commercial all'airu of South
America. Leaving out of consideration
any advantages there may be In dealing
with Kuropcnns , In the matter of long
, credits , convenience In exchanges ami
{ other matters incident to trade , the fact
that American merchandise must be tea
a large extent shipped In foreign vessels
Is a very serious drawback to commerc
with the South American states and OIK *
that we cannot overcome even by mak
ing all other conditions satisfactory to
the people of those states. All Interna
tional bank for facilitating exchanges
would be of great service ! greater care
In studying the wants of the markets
south of us and more /.cut In working
for the trade would have their rewatds ;
establishing In the trade centers ware
houses for displaying American goods
would be beneficial ; but. with all this
done American merchants and manufac
turers would still be at a disadvantage
without Apicrlcan ships to carry their
goods to those markets.
It Is to be hoped the capitalists of
Philadelphia will favorably consider the
project of establishing steamship lines
to South American ports. Perhaps It
would be found a paying Investment and
In that event lines would probably be
established from other ports. Hut what
Is needed Is a national policy for build
ing up a merchant marine that will carry
American products to all quarters of
the world a policy in the ln-uellts of
which all classes of American producers
will share.
From all parts of Nebraska come the
most gratifying reports of improved con
ditions and brightening prospects. Coun
try merchants are making Increased pur
chases and meeting their obligations
promptly. Country banks are redeeming
their redlscounted paper ami the mort
gage records show uniform diminution
of private Indebtedness. The crop out
look never was more enconiaging , and
the clouds of depression that have hung
over the producers are lifting.
The llrst effect of the revival of confi
dence Is the raising of the embargo by
eastern capitalists who hail for the past
three years declined to make new loans
in this slate. Already the icpreseiita-
tives of several of the largest loan and
trust companies have received notice of
a change of policy and given authority
to negotiate farm loans at reasonably
low rates of interest. The announce
ment , that the largest meat packing con
cern in America has begun to erect a
mammoth packing plant at South
Omaha has given an impetus to the
cattle industry all through the state and
contributes largely to the prevailing feel
ing of hopefulness. The impulse given
to local enterprise by the preparations
for the Trnnsmlssisslppl Imposition Is
also an Important factor in the general
upward movement that foreshadows
great Industrial activity in the very near
future.

Mr. White , the democratic candidate for
governor of Jowa , Is more outspoken than
Altgold and i bolder than Dryan. Ho lias
taken as his motto the words u pd by Pres
ident Cleveland in the campaign of 1SSI-
"Tell the truth. " Ho is dealing out information
mation as to what ho expects the consequences
quences of free coinage will be with a fnnk-
ne.'H which will paralyze the- more cautions
politicians ot his party. They know what
the consequences will be , but Iiavo not
made them public for fear of alienating the
voles of those- who believe it is wrong to
cheat.
Candidate White announces tint he wants
free coinage KO that the purchasing powe.
of the money In uro In the United States
may be reduced. "Tim money today is too
valuable. I bcllove in making money le.'K
valuable. " That the purchasing power of
the free coinage silver dollar would be
less than that of the gold dollar .Mr. White
takes for granted , but ho admits frankly
he dees not Know what the ultimate value
of the Oliver dollar would be. He otates :
"No man pun tell what the value of the
silver dollar will be under unlimited coinage
at Hi to 1. We do not know how much
silver will lie- mined or how the procet ei
nf mining will be improved. If a tremendous
deus amount of silver is mined of course
the dollar will bo very cheap. "
"May It not drop to n 10-cont dollar ? "
"No one cm foretell how cheap the Mlver
dollar would be. The value of the dolhr
would depend entirely on the production of
sliver. "
So Mr. White admits that the free coinage -
ago nf ullver by lh * United Stains will not
ai re.st the fall In price of sliver If the pro
duction of that metal continues to Increase
and thu coat of putting It on the market
I'ontlmifn to fall. Most frc sllvcrltes have
contended furiously that thu incriosed out
put and chcjpcmd ciwt of production have
had nothing to do with the fall in the price
of Hllver and that free coinage would raise
Its price. Mr. White pcorns such falsehood. ' ) .
Jle believes Nllvi'i'- will continue to grow
cheaper anil Ui4 dollar become Ita * and lens
valuabln under ifrwu coinage.
Such a prcnLTL'is | ) this does not disturb
him. Hofi.iyi jayiitlly that If the dollar gets

They never pujd/bo / shut. The lloodgutea

Tn do justice , thu dollar should b reduced

And because hogri do not. bring , owing to

Philadelphia Hccord : The new fiscal year
opens hopefully. The New York Tribune of
Thursday said : "The Wall street brokers re.
port a perftct tlood of Inquiries from people
who want tn buy stocks and hinds , either to
hold permanently or as a sppculiilon. " This
shows , more than an oay money market ,
that capital Is tired of Idiotic * * ! and Is anxious
to get work at anything opening the mills ,
moving the crops \Ui.\tever It may bo.
With capital In mich n mood there ought to
be no gre.it dltlicnlty In providing work for
the willing hnmlx ot labor.

Chicago Tribune : The- conditions aio more
favorable for the men In some respects than
three years ago. llu.slnc s la reviving. The
price of coal Is Kn'i'g to advance and the
wages of the minrra will go up with II. Hut
the revival of buslines has not gone so far
as to make a strike advisable , rnpeclally nl
the commencement of the. summer aeason.
during which the demand fin- coat will bo at
a minimum.
Globe-Uemocrat : The strike which Ihe
United Mine Workers havu decided to atari
next .Monday U an anw/lng piece of follj.
The circular of their nattjiial executive board
ordering the strike says that "business i
reviving , " and that In this revival "we
ought to share. " In striking , however , the
miners not only prevent themselves from
shuring in the revival , but they take a course
which l.s calculated to stop the revival. This
action U a pronounced evidence of the lack-
of judgment of this society.
Chicago Times-Herald : Making all due al
lowances for the arguments of the minu own
ers , wo must confess to a feeling of pity for
the strikers. Theii work is hard : their pay
meager. Year by yi.ar their wagro have de-
croasal until they rank among the poorest
paid of American worklngmen. They sec * !
especially mute and helpless in the. double
grip of the mine- owners and politicians , and
oven their occasional outbreaks are . r > liope-
le.-s as to excite sympathy. If the motive of
their present strike Is the belief that the
condition of business warrants an advance o ;
wages tluy are sadly In error.
Chicago Iterard : The strike Is due to an
effort to forcfitnll a plan of the mine ownorn.
who piopose to reduce wages In Ohio In
ordi'ito maintain the differential of 9 cents
a ton between the Ohio and Plttshurg rates.
Hut there has been an era of distress In
vailous mining districts and the direct cause
of the strike will soon be lost to view among
tin ; many real grievances and snfTerlngii of
mliu'rt ) throughout the country. If tills stilke
takes effect and Is not speedily settled there
will be a piotracteil period of suffering In all
the districts affected. Kor a time , at least ,
the operators , owins to the fact that at this
peason the demand fnr coal Is greatly di
minished , will not be worried by a strike
which , If It reduces the output of coal , will
also reduce the expense of paying miners.
That many of the miners have just grlcv-
ain'ts ind that iliey are en It'.ed to more than
they get cannot be doubted. Hut it Is dllll-
cnlt to eeo how they can help tbemselveM
by a strike nuw , unless the mlnn owners
experience a wholly unprecedented change
of heart nnil voluntarily agree to glvo them
higher wages.

Chicago Is simply colofsal in thu Inpurlem'o
with which she peislsts In thu attempt to
bully thu railroads Into giving special tales
to country meichants to Induce them to go
to Chicago to do their trading. The rail
road companies have very properly , and In
deed necessarily , refuted to act as rniiners
for Chicago business houses and to pay coun
try merchants a bonus for making their
purchases In Chicago. As llio Pioneer Preis
pointed out when this extrordlnry proposi
tion was llrst made to thu railroads of the
noithwc.it , they could not giant this favor
to Chicago without being required to grunt
the same favor to uvery jobbing renter In
tint northwest under the pains and penal
ties of the Interstate commeico law If they
declined. Hut the Chicago merchants , un-
ahashod. by the unanimous refusal of tint
rallioad companies to discriminate In their
passenger rates us they already do In their
freight rates In favor of Chicago , are still
Importuning these companies to grant them
this unjust und preposterous concession.
They bavo enlisted the active efforts of
Mayor Harrison In tills xchcniB for convert
ing the railroad comixinlcs of the north

better than to yield to this Impudent de
mand. If they did they would have some-
Ib.ng to deal with mnie powerful thun even
the Interstate commission and the courts ,
and that Is the indignant public opinion
of that vnst northnoit which lies outside
of Chicago. Nor would thlb be appeased by
