THE SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY. It Should Take Possession of the Domocratic Party and Con trol It. Biblical ijecordter..

Th'le opportunity for Smuthern Dvem oerats and tle South lint we speak of is the opporhtiti(y of Soutlhern Deimo cra'ts to taike largo of their party, save it fron tlie l.perils which have so oft(1 sihipwreeked it and fri m tile capais whi Wll now prepain to Iun1 it anotier o'i. tears, joilraey ilp Salt river, the opportunity of South ern Demoeran to restore and to eon tribute to the nation an order of po litieal policy worthy of our time and co1n11 t ry.

What is the South made of that she should become responsiblb for the follies of this aggregation shmi stiffer this galaxy of politica emriositie's. to offer ill her name a se ries of politieal policies that bear all the marks of their mongrel origin? The South has no Bryan but sh< has Mr. Bailey, of Texas, a manl of far more ability every way; she has no TaggI ".art, but she has Folk, of Mis. souri; she has no Murphy, but she la John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi; she has no Behnont, but she has John W.

THE SMITH Paysinger New B States-formerly Germany's best.1 markets-no longer offer a permanent a field for German exploitation. There t is a hope that tle Brussels convention, which abolished bounties on beet-sug zar production, will not be renewed, , owing to the fact that its effect has been to increase the price of sugar to . the [British eonlsmlier. While the t bounties were paid by the German, U I French and other governments on ex ported beetsugar, the English consuin er and 1'iglish canning indiustries got sugar below cost. but now tley piy more, anlil it is' thoughit they will in I'lienllece ti' Iliitish goverinm ntiit to as sent to a renewal If the botnties on p beet-sugar indiustry of the Br1itish colonies. iln V'ranec tle difficulty of P selling siugar abroad causes a redue tion of the internal refinery tax by rr oie-half, wiih a view to infcreasiig the hime vuiistimption.

AS respoi s tihe hope of England's assent to the renewal of bounties, it will strike the average Britisher as absurd. A num ber of British colonies are dependent upon cane sugar for their solvency, 3 and will appeal to imperial sentiment G 3 for continued protection against boun ty-fed rival.,. Their industry has re- U vived materially since the Brussels convention came into operation. In Cuba a great revival of cane-sugar production has been recorded, through plienomenal rains and low prics some Sr months ago discouraged small plan ters. The beet-sugar industry of the tO United States, according to a recent report of the department of agricul tui'e, is growing and during the pres- J. cnt year the production of beet-sugar west of the Mississippi will be 783, 200,000 pounds and will exceed, it N is estimated, the cane-sugar output west of the river. In 1905 there were S. 52 beet-sugar factories in operationc consuming 2,665,913 toris of beets and - producing 312,920 short tons of sugar foi' an acreage of 307,364 acires given to blest culturie.
