THE TARIFF COMMISSIoN-LErTER ON TEXAS
SUGAR INTERESTS FROM A TEXAN.
Long Branch, August Io.-At the evening
session of the tariff commission, communica-
ton was read from T. w. House, OF Houston,
Texas, in reference to the production of sugar
in that state. 1t states that large area of
land there is extremely well adapted to the
growth Of sugar cane, and that the lands are
never overlooked. The cane ratoons well for
three or four years, and the chief area Of pro.
duction at present is on the Brazos river,
where the crop in 1880 was about $50 900
pounds. A district OF one hundred miles
long, by one hundred miles wide, or some
100000 acres on the Brazos, Is peculiarly
adapted to sugar cane. Also another district
on the Colorado river, which in 1880 produced
about I2s,ooo pounds. These districts are
said to he capable Of producing large guam
tty of the sugar produced in the United States
if that industry was only sufficiently protected.
Any reduction of rates on the lower grades Of
sugar will nflict incalcable loss to the industry
of the sugar raisers.
