The Bulloch Herald. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY. - ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. ^ THOpSUAl’S. Entered at the postoffiee at States¬ boro, Ga., as secoud-clasG mail matter. Statesboro, La., June 22, 1899. In Iceland men and women are in every respect political equals. The nation, which numbers about 70,000 people, is governed by representatives elected by men and women together. Wireless telegraphy is not so new as most persotffe suppose. The banks of the Susquehanna, more than half a century ago, saw experiments in it by Morse and Gale; and some islands have maintained communication with the main shore of England in this way for seven or eight years, But this method was by au induced current. If a current of electricity is sent through one wire, it will induce a cur rent in au opposite direction in an¬ other wire parallel to it. This needs long stretches of parallel wire, how¬ ever, and will not work if the wires are far apart. It is possible that the immigra¬ tion into the United States during the coming season will include many of the inhabitants of unhappy Fin laud, which has been deprived of such nominal independence as it has pos¬ sessed since it became a part of Rus¬ sia in 1721 by treaty and in 1805 by conquest. The czar has authorized the exile of all inhabitants who are even suspected of opposition to his sovereignty, and as the Finns have so long been accustomed to their ancient constitution and laws, the edict will affect unknown numbers of the peo¬ ple. The race i» hardy, intelligent, of Altai-Uralian stock, accustomed to agricultural pursuits and almost wiioliy of the Lutheran faith.

Our excess of exports over imports in the last three years has amounted to $1,300,000,000, and lor last year alone was over $600,000,000. It will proba¬ by be even greater this year, for we are not only holding what we have gained in foreign trade, but are press¬ ing steadily forward. The reports of the bureau of statistics show that in the ten years from 1888 to 1898 our export trade increased in an unprece¬ dented degree either for the United States or any other couutry. During that period our annual sales in Africa rose from $3,000,000 to $17,000,000, in Japan from $4,000,000 to $21,000,000, in Belgium from $10,000,000 to $47, 000,000, in Peumark from $3,000,000 to $12,000,000, in Holland from §16, 000,000 to $65,000,000, in France from $40,000,000 to $100,000,000, in Ger¬ many from $55,000,000 to $150,000, 000, in the United Kingdom from $362,000,000 to $540,000,000. The extension of American com¬ merce into all climes has been one of the most gratifying sigus of national prosperity during the past few years, says the Washington Star. -Consular agents have taken a more intelligent interest in the trade outlook than heretofore. A system of reports from well-posted agents throughout the buying world has eflabled producers to kuow what to export and where to send it. The United States can virtu¬ ally supply the world with everything it needs. The recently developed lines of trade which have cut out cer¬ tain English competitors from profita¬ ble connections are signs of the awak¬ ening of this country to its possibili¬ ties in tlrs great field. We can ouly hold our own in the fierce competition which now confronts us in every mart by maintaining the quality of our goods aud by regulating the prices by the strict rules of cust and demand, “Made in the United States” ought to l>e a sign of excellence and honest charge. As long as that doctrine pre¬ vails the balance of trade ought easily to be held ou this side it DICK” BLAND DEAD The nissouri Congressman Passes Over the River.

Head of Sugar Trust Gives Much Information. HOW THE BIG TRUST WORKS Sugar King Declares the Customs Tariff the True “Communism of Pelf.” Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the American Sugar Refining corn pany, was examined Wednesday by the industrial commission in session at Washington, in connection with in vestigationT of trusts. His testimony related almost wholly to the sugar in¬ dustry and he opened with a vigorous attack upon the customs tariff which he declared -was the “mother of all trusts,” becoming' by providing “an inordinate protection to manufac-' tured articles.” He declared that the sugar company undoubtedly tried to do its utmost to enlarge its business, but did it in a way which they consider the only proper one, i. e., by making the price so low as to defy competition. He said: It is my opinion th&t corporations are under no obligations whatever to any of the states for their existence. Quite the reverse; the states are under obligations to them. If the plant of these industries consolidated was ca¬ pable of being put on wheels and moved from state to state, you would find very active bidding for them. It is not an unusual thing for certain localities to guarantee free taxation for twenty years, free water and in some instances give the land to cor¬ porations to have them organize under their statutes and locate in their stated. There is no such thing as monopoly in these days except that which re¬ sults from patents and copyrights. The true “communism of pelf” is the customs tariff bill. It says to the people: “Here is the law we have en¬ acted for your robbery. Do not com¬ plain of it, but do your utmost to attack and injure the machinery en¬ gaged in extracting from you what we legislate shall be taken from Tariff Ig Attacked. Continuing his statement, he assert¬ ed that a tariff of 10 per cent was as high as any tariff should be. He con tended that sugar is discriminated against in the tariff in the interest of the Louisiana oaue growers, the beet sugar makers and sugar growers of the Hawaiian islands. To these inter¬ ests he contended the United States contributed 824,000,000, which was taken annually out of the pockets of the people. The protection on sugar amounted to only one-eighth of a cent a pound, or about 34 per cent adval orem. I ought to be twice as much. “What the sugar refining business has paid, or is paying represents noth¬ ing more than an adequate return ou the capital invested,” he said. “W hat congress should have done was to have put an internal revenue tax on the American production of su¬ gar. The representations mftde in congress clared, concerning the trust, he de¬ were untrue and if it was a fact that the people suffered from trusts they must blame the protective tariff system of which the trusts were merely had the machinery. No advantage ever been taken by his company of the protective system beyond the one-eighth of a cent given. He ad¬ mitted freely that the company did all possible to advance its own business interests. He did not think the cor porations were under obligations to the different states, but that the reverse was true. He referred to the nnti-trus* laws of some of the states as a problem on dis¬ honesty, specifying the Missouri law. There were always two classes of peo¬ ple in a community—the industrious and those who want to live off them. But for the clamor against trusts,” he said, “it could be sold for three times its capitalization.” Yet he thought the refineries could be duplicated for 835,000,000 or $40, 000,000.
