We produce, IoG illustration. from 40
UOo,OJ0 to 3WojLGoj Io"aos Of wool
per year, on which We manufacture
into blankets. tWeeds and other staples

OR wool chp III thcraW state These
Woolen manufactures employ in one
way or another large number Of
hands and create great deal more
permanent taxable wealth than all the
raw wool we export. \ tariff for
revenue only or for revenue with IN
cldental protection would destroy
tins branch Of business in California
We have the soil and climate for a
large production Of sugar from beets.
1t takes one acre in the countries that
produce sugar from beet5 to make
one ton OF sugar, 1t would take no
moro here. But in the Hawaiian
Islands one acre OF cane produces on
the average three tons Of sugar. 1t
is clear, then. that our sugar beet in
dustry cannot compete with the is
land cane product without protection.
The treaty has Withdrawn protection
and the result IS that our beet-root
experiments have ali failed and we
are paying more for sugar free than
we used to pay for sugar when a duty
was imposed and for beet sugar home
made. We would restore the duty
on Hawaiian sugar and make it pro
hibitory in the interest of the home
manufacture of beet sugar, and we
would save millions a year to the
State by this change The United
States consumes over 100000 tons
of sugar year. California has land
enough adapted TO the sugar beet to
supply a large part of this consump-
ton, besides supplying all her own
wants. Protection in this case would
make us large exporter instead, as
we are now under the free-trade
treaty, large importer of sugar. If
any one doubts the possibility of
rivaling sugar cane by beet sugar, the
doubt is at once dissipated by the
fact that England, admitting all sugar
free, imported 100000 tons OF beet
sugar IN 1882 out Of a total of 1,OOO,-
QUO tons. The increase was $50 per
cent. from 1870 to 1882.
1t was the custom of this part of
the United States until recent years
to regard only the precious minerals.
