Nothing can be moro untoundcd than the asser

ment. The sub4 ance Of what | have said, and
which is to be found in my published speeches is,
that agriculture in the United States, owing to
our distance from European countries, needs but
little direct protection. But the principal aim
in Introducing and protecting manufactures is to
I5e,,e& agriculture By opening a ne,c and homc

TIE SUGAR CANE.

We were very much surprised, on looking
ovcr ] late number Of the Penny Magazine, to
And how extensive has been the culture ofthe
sugar cane. 1t is supposed to have orignatedin
CHINA, and Strabo, an ancient geographer,
snealSs of its product, of honey prepared from a
weed without The aid of bees. From India, the
cane was transferred to Arabia, Egypt, and the
western parts of Asia, and indeed, at n very
early day, sugar was an article Of commerce.
il made its appearance in Europe in the fifteenth
century. Sicily began its cultivation, then Spain,
fben the Island Of Madeira, and the Canaries.-
n was carried to Hayti and Brazil, and from
these-places, it spread through the West lndies;-
Dr. Trail, a recent Scotch Traveller, who has
investigated the subject very attentively, asserts
that the sugar cane was cultivated in the eleventh
century. and tIfat a sugar mill is actually des,
cribed ii an ancient charter Of that era. He
saws also, that the Spaniards made sugar as ear
ly AS 7l1, and that it owes its origin there to the
Moors. The plantations extended over a great
part of the shores of.Nalencia and Andaiusla.-
The progress ofthe cultivation ofthe sugar cane,
however. in the West Indies, checked ltsprohta-
lille prosecution in Spain. As late, however, as
1914, Traili found the manufactures still carried
on in Andalusia. He describes the district
where it IS carried on as being q narrow tract o.
land between a chain of rugged mountains and
the Mediterranean,ab out five miles wide, and one
hundred and fifty miles in length. Its actual po-
sition now however is unknown. The numer.
Gus internal wars which have desolated SPAN
must have destroyed their sugar works
