Eighty cents of the increase js taken
out of the sugar producers and forty

other words, both the producers and
consumers of sugar are squeezed to
nearly double the profits of the little
band of holders of sugar certificates, Is
it worth while to retain the tariff of a
half a cent a pound on refined sugar
merely to swell the wealth of a few

A Chinese exclusion bill of the most
drastic character passeed the house of
representatives under a suspension of
the rules by a vote of 179 to = It
absolutely prohibits the coming into
the United States of all Chinese per-
sons except the minister from China,
his attaches, servants, ete. It has been
stated as coming from those high in
authority in China that if this bill be-
comes a law it will be followed by an
edict from the Chinese government
excluding all Americans from the em.
pire and calling off commercial inter
course with this country. But as we
buy about $20,000,000 merchandize
from China every year and only sell
about $6,000,000 to the Chinese, this
latter bit of retaliation is hardly prob-
able. The principle of Chinese exelu-
sion Isright, however, even if we have
to pay something for it in the way of
retaliation. Five years of unrestricted
immigration would probably see half

should adopt his view, and if the Ven-

playing the reciprocity game, Ameri

Superintendent of Immigration
Owen, the Indian ex-Congressman
whom Assistant Secretary Nettleton
has accused of being unfit for his place
hard cash, has endeavored to answer
the charges by throwing the blame for
everything that has gone wrong in
his office on his clerks, and by charg
ing that General Nettleton is trying
in the interests of parties who opposed
the creation of the office of Superintend-
ent of Immigation, and has been
from the thme he (Owen) took charge
of that office, to throw obstacles in the
path of its work and bring discredit
upon it. It is easy enough to believe
that both of them are telling the truth,
republican officials are such a queer lot.
Mr, Harrison is willing, it is said, to
sacrifice Owen, who is his personal
friend, and also Nettleton, if that
would settle the scandal; but he hae
