It certainly cannot be held that or
ganized labor Is not receiving liberal
recognition when tho Scran ton board
of control dare not, without Its con
sent, buy coal to keep the schools go
ing. riisslon of the Regiment.
TO THE credit of the mine
workers It should bo said
that the proportion of their
number given to mob vio
lence and disregard of public rights is
a small one. The great majority of
the English-speaking miners of our
county are as peaceable and law-abiding
men as can be found in any com
munity. Many of them own homes
and are giving their children the bene
fits of a good education. A goodly
number of them are active In church
and benevolent works, teachers in
Sunday schools and useful members
of society In whatever relations they
may engage. It Is not to be believed
of these men that they favor intimida
tion of other men or the use of mob
force In violation of law. We know
them better than to believe this.
Their neighbors know them better.
Only those persons who live at a dis
tance from the coal fields are liable to
misunderstand the situation and draw
wrong conclusions.
The honest and conservative element
4 among the mine workers has suffered
In patience long enough under the
deprivation and public misconstruction
put upon them by the lawless element.
During this strike, to which they were
originally opposed, they have gone
quietly about their business, keeping
away from centers of agitation and
possible disturbance and philosophic
ally waiting for the clouds to roll by.
And now tho restless ones have gone
mad In their lawless instincts, the
sheriff lias been forced to ask for and
the governor to send troops Into
Lackawanna county, the first In a
quarter of a century; and the effect of
nil this must recoil disastrously on the
strikers' cause.
Is It not time that the intent char
acter and manhood of the reputable
miners wore asserted to put an end to
this Intolerable situation'.' There Is
character enough and manhood enough
In plenty among the men enlisted In
this strike to put lawlessness down If
It shall assert itself. Let it be under
stood in no uncertain terms that the
real enemy of the miners Is not the poor
non-union man driven to work by tho
necessities of his family and exercising
In his choice of work a right guaran
teed to him by the law of God and man,
but tho anarchist who seizes upon occa
sions of this kind to disturb public
order and terrorize the community, or
the loafer, ever ready to egg on mis
chief nnd deviltry. The leaders among
the strikers have uttered wise words of
condemnation of lawlessness, but some
thing more than words are required to
keep these disorderly Influences down.
The leaders are powerless without tbo
prompt and thorough co-operation of
their follower. and especially of follow
ers who' stand for sorncthjrjg, who ure
men of .reputation and influence,
Tho regiment is not a partisan In the
dispute between tho mlno workers and
tho operators, It Is on the ground to
protect life and property and to assist
in the enforcement of law. It Is there
to servo notice on mob3 and mob vio
lence that such things must cease. In
serving 'such notice and causing it to
be respected and obeyed It Is doing a
service to every honest man among tho
strikers nnd should havo his fullest
support. Tho law was hero before tho
strike began and It will remain when
tho strlko, shall (invo become a grim
nieinorjv The law Is for rich and poor
alike. Each must bo made to bow to
it Impartially, The regiment cannot
compel any man to return to work if
he elects to.reirmln Idle. Hut It can and
must prevent forcible and lawless in
terference' with any man who wants to
gq to wprki It can and must prevent
mobs from shooting and assaulting per
sons In the. lawful pursuit of their own
business or pleasure, A government
which would not do these things would
be a worse tyranny or a worse failuio
than any yet known to history, and the
first to tire, of It would be the working
men whose liberties It would shackle.
The strike is u test of endurance
which will go on'as before untl,l one or
the other 'Ide "wearies fit the sucriflce
nnil throwB up the sponge! but the
regiment la In the nature of a referee,
who sees to It that no blows arc struck
below the belt. "Wo nre nitre that tho
English-speaking minors of this county
will agree with us that this is fair and
square, nml that they have nothing to
lose nnU everything to gain by sitting
clown on those mlsellof-maltlng ele
ments which are bringing them and
their cause Into disrepute before the
World,
Those who recently predicted that
the president would lay down' on Cu
ban reciprocity can now hunt a hole.
Theodore Itooscvelt Is not of tho lay
ing down kind.
Cuban Smallness.
I
T IS RATHRit nn Interesting co-
Incidence that on the very day
that President Itooscvelt nt De
troit was repeating with emphasis
his unanswerable pleti for more liberal
economic relations with Cuba, President
Palma at Havana was voicing a querul
ous complaint at the continued presence
on the Island of a few American sol
diers, left there to take charge of tho
Cuban coast fortifications while n
native coast guard was being organized.
It Is ntnv announced In -Washington
advices that Palma has officially re
quested the United States government
to terminate the last vestige of Its au
thority In Cuba. There are eight com
panies of coast artillery now on the
Island; four at Havana and two each at
Santiago and Clenfucgos. So far ns Is
known, these soldiers havo been behav
ing themselves and not In any way In
terfering with Cuban sovereignity or
Cuban pride. The eagerness of the
Cubans to get rid of them is sotne
what singular, to say t)ie least; but
since they attach so much Importance
to their going, the wisest course would
be to order them home.
The fact that the Cubans are still
suspicious and jealous of the Americans
to whom they owe their very existence
as a nation is interesting as affording
an Insight Into their natures, but not
otherwise Important. It does not affect
our larger duty In the premises or justi
fy any abatement In the effort of
President Itoosevelt and his advisers to
fulfill the pledge upon which the Piatt
amendment was proposed and accepted.
The Cuban Is as his Creator has made
him. If we find him a little undersized
In some directions, the deficit will have
to be accepted philosophically.
The story that our government In
tends to put a stop to these continual
South American revolutions is no
doubt a correct statement of what it
would like to do; but Its ability to do
It. is another story.
The Australian Drought.
IS EDWARD BARTON, In the
Independent, gives a cheerful
and optimistic summary of
the social, political and mate
rial situation of the Australian con
federation. It is what might be ex
pected from a man who entertains a
sanguine view of tho future of his
country, a future which he hopes
largely to be Instrumental in moulding
to his own aspirations. But the great
est of all problems for the citizens of
the federation is jiot politics or labor
or tariff or financial obligations sever
ally, for all these are subsidiary to a
natural phenomenon, the like of which
the world has rarely seen. In a little
over seven years practically the whole
of central Australia has become a
scorched and barren desert.
It is not tlie ense of one bad season
coming after several good ones, but
the worst otf a series of bad ones which
hns culminated this year in annihilat
ing almost the entire live stock of tho
country. Hundreds of thousands of
cattle and millions of sheep have died
of drought. The trade In frozen meat,
which was becoming such a formidable
competitor with our own, tho export' of
wool and h'des, nnd of the several In
dustries which directly and indirectly
depend upon them have boon ruined al
most beyond hope of recuperation.
Even the rabbits and kangaroos have
been decimated frightfully. No animal
or vegetable life to which water Is a
necessity has survived.
It Is, of course, beyond human power
to alleviate the situation. Sir Edward
speaks hopefully of the Irrigation
works which he expects to see ramify
ing along tho Murray river, but the
Murray Is not a Nile. It is a big
stream as rivers go In Australia, but
It Is practically confined to New South
Wales nnd a corner of South Australia
before it empties Itself into the South
ern ocean. There are no other large
rivers In Australia for this purpose, al
though there are abundant rivulets
around the seacoast. Stupendous ef
forts have been made to Irrigate com
paratively large tracts in Australia.
The perennial supply of rainfall In
some distinctive quarter upon which
success largely depends In Irrigation
works seems to bo nbsent entirely In
Australia. Tho British engineers who
nre building the cyclopean dams upon
the delta of the Nile In upper Egypt
can calculate with scientific accuracy
the qunntatlvo periodic rlso of the river
from observations mndo during tho
rainy seasons at Its sources. Nothing
Jlko this can bo predicted for Austra
lia. A drought which has lasted seven
yenrs on a continental area Is essen
tially cosmic In Its destructlvcness and
permanence,
Tho ranches In Australia nre on a
large scale. Ono of a thousand square
miles Is regarded ns a moderate prop
erty, Lord Salisbury said some years
ngo, when European powers were likely
to come to loggerheads over some strip
of equatorial Africa, that ho under
stood that the place had a very light
soil, Central Australia has a very
light soil. On an average a mllo of It
will, carry only six head of cattle or
about sixty Bheep, But even under
these limitations squatters could be
come enormously rich with tho average
nominal rainfall.
At' the present day tho productive
n,rea of Australia Is practically con
lined 'to a comparatively narrow mar
gin along the eastern nnd southeast
ern coast. This la sufficient perhaps
for the present requirements of the
country with a population of about
four millions, a decreasing birth rate
and a declension in immigration, But
s
unless these seven years of drought
are followed by a few fat years of
moisture tho outlook for Australia can
hardly be regarded ns promising,
Tho Henderson retirement sensation
was not even a nine-days' wonder.
Sugar.
I
T USED to bo Bald that tho best
gouge of n people's civilization
wns tho nmount of pig-Iron pro
duction, this Implying an en
lightened diversification In demands for
the Mulshed products of Iron and steel.
While this rule remains true,soclologlsts
arc emphasizing another one the per
capita consumption of sugar. Little
sugar means much poverty; a liberal
use of sugar, a high level of economic
welfare.
The bureau of statistics nt Washing
ton has recently prepared some figures
upon tho consumption of sugar In the
United Stntcs at different Intervals
which constitute an encouraging ex
hibit. These show that people of the
United States now consume eight times
ns much sugar per capita ns they did
In the first quarter of the last century,
four times ns much as the average
per capita during the decade ending
with 1850, and twice ns much ns they
did In any year prior to 18,70. In tho
years Immediately prior to 1825 tho
average consumption of sugar wns
nbout 8 pounds per capita, In the
decade 1840-50, about 1G pounds per
capita, In the, years Immediately prior
to 1870 tho avernge wns ubout 32 pounds
per capita (omitting the war years, In
which the consumption was light), from
1870 to 1889 It averaged about 40 pounds
per capita, from 18S0 to 1890 B0 pounds
per capita; In 1891 the figure was 66
pounds per capita, and has ranged
from 62 to 63 pounds per capita since
that time, the figure for 1901 being 68.4
pounds.
But It docs not, necessarily follow
that tho richest country uses the most
sugar, though upon the whole sugar
use Is a very fair register of national
wealth. The per capita use of sugar
In Great Britain, for Instance, Is 91.6
pounds, or nearly a third more than In
the United States, although the United
States is today the richer country and
hns a higher economic level. As a mat
ter of curiosity, here is the showing of
the principal countries:

The use of sugar Is growing the world
over. Figures recently published by the
Bureau of Statistics in its monograph
The World's Sugar Production and
Consumption," showed that the sugar
production of the world was eight times
as great in 1900 as In 1840, the figure
for 1840 being 1,150,000 tons and that for
1900, S.SOO.OOO tons. This increase In pro
duction, and consequently in consump
tion, has, it is explained, come largely
through the development of the beet
sugar industry, which increased from
a production of 50,000 tons In 1S40 to
200,000 tons In 1850, 831,000 tons In 1870,
1,402,000 tons In 1SS0, 3,633,00 tons in 1S90,
and 5,950,000 tons in 1900. During the
same time, cane sugar production in
creased from 1,100,000 tons in 1840 to 2,
850,000 tons in 1900. Beets in 1840 sup
plied 4.35 per cent, of the total sugar
product of the world; In 1S50 they sup
plied 11,29 per cent.; In I860, 20.43 per
cent.; In 1S70, 34.40 per cent.; in 1890,
63.70 per cent., and in 1900, G7.71 per
cent.
Possibly these figures will shed some
light upon the determination with
which the supporters of the American
beet sugar Industry opposed In tho re
cent session of congress any conces
sions to the cane sugur industry in
Cuba,
President Roosevelt's remarks at
Detroit will doubtless have the effect
cf a sudden Jolt upon the feelings of
those who are trying to produce the
Impression that the administration Is
ashamed of the good work done In the
Philippines.

The chief end of tho Democratic party
seems to bo tho erection of dark toned
backgrounds, composed of vngtio theoriz
ing, which, when completed, servo to
throw Republican clear-cut action Into
bold relief.
The Democrats had best lot the "Pros
perity" argument alone. They may find
that It Is loaded, Tho people can't bo
fooled on this subject, nt least, and If
their attention Is too frequently directed
to it they may begin voting tho Republi
can ticket. Tho thing for Democrats to
do Is to keep on denying that there Is
any prosperity. They will then bo on
conservative and eminently Democratic
ground.
Exports of manufactured articles ready
for consumption In July wore $13,1S7,313,
against $12,421,910 In tho same month last
year. This Is a large gain and indicates
a steady increusc abroad in tho popular
ity of American manufactures. St. Loui3
Globe-Democrat.
And the figures knock out a whole big
volume of pessimistic Frco Trade criti
cism, the tenor of which was that our
foreign trado was going to tho dogs, all
on account of Protection. And thi3 of
course In utter disregard of the fact that
our exports of late years have been larg
er than ever before. Troy Times.
"A protective tariff Insures the farmer
against the disaster that would other
wise attend a short crop, because the
people can afford to pay tho enhanced
price. That is why the farmer got nearly
twice as much for his short corn crop
of Inst year as be did for tho good crop
of 1S90. I showed in this chamber two
years ago that the farmers of the coun
try lost $10,000,000,000 because of low tar
iff agitation and operation. Since the
Dlnglcy law went into effect they havo
gained in increased prices nnd enhanced
values much more than this amount.
They have paid off mortgages to tho
nmount of many millions; they havo
bought millions of dollars' worth of now
machinery nnd Implements; they have
Improved their property, and many farm
values are today double what they were
in 189.. and 1S0G." Senator Gallinger.
The crop reports Indlcato a big yield
of grain throughout the world, with tho
United States, of course, far In tho lead.
But, while the aggregate world's harvest
will be large. In a number of European
and Asiatic countries there will bo a de
ficit between supply and demand. This
assures heavy exports of American grain
and flour to meet tho foreign shortage.
The American farmer will produce this
year 1,000,000.000 bushels mora corn than
he did in 1901. This means, at a low av
erage price, the nddllion of about $100,
000,000 to tho wealth of the country, of
wmen of course each corn producer will
get his proportionate share. Corn is tho
king crop of the United States, and tho
king Is royally generous this year.
Traffic In iron and steel originating in
Southern producing territory during tho
first seven months of this year nmounted
to 1,131,273 tons, compared with 857,760
tons for tho corresponding period of 1901
How does this Bryanito utteranco of
1S96 sound now, in these Inter days? "If
McKlnley and the Republican parly are
successful and put in power for the next
four years, wages will be decreased.
Hard times will come upon us and over
tho land, The price of wheat will como
down and tho prlco of gold will co up.
Mortgages on our farms will be fore
closed by tho money lenders. Shop3 and
factories will bo closed. We will export
no goods and wo will Import from for
eign lands tho goods which wo use. Thus
will ruin, want, nnd misery bo with us,"
There is about $574,000,000 in gold In tho
United States treasury. That bouts tho
American record, and almost tho world's
record. Doesn't It seem funny to think
of how tho Democratic party wns talking
a few years ogo of tho appalling scarcity
of cold?
As Secretary Shaw says, tho great is
sue In tho present campaign Is, "They aro
working now," Tho voters will see to
it, too, that ovorybody who wants work
Is kent nt work.

During tho half year to tho end of
June, 1901, there arrived at San Francisco
13,313,222 bushels of wheat. For tho half
year to tho end of June, 1902, tho total re
ceipts were 17,123,773 bushels, being a gain
of 28.6 per cent, over tho receipts of the
preceding year.
The great railroad corporations evi
dently believed thnt tho prosperous con
dition of the country Is to continue, for
they aro Increasing their equipment of
freight cars and engines. Tho Pennsyl
vania rnllroad, which has four largo
shops for building Its own engines, cannot
turn them out fast enough nnd will havo
four hundred heavy freight locomotives
built by outsldo firms, tho Baldwin I.oco
motlvo works having received an order
for 230 of tho engines. Lnruer freight
cars nre to bo built by tho thousands, and

proving tho road, so ns to handlo freight
