Peasant V. Landed Proprietary.
A Debate at the Victoria Institute,
Jamaica.

The first OF q series of debates in connec-
ton with the Victoria Institute took place
on Wednesday evening in the rooms in East
Street. The subject was whether a pea
SAINT proprietary is better calculated TO all
vance, the prosperity Of Jamaica than q large
landed proprietary" The Hon. Wellesley
Bourke. as one of the Vice-Presldent of the
Institute, occupied the position OF Chairman.
and there was a large gathering of the mem
bers. Mr.. G. Z. d. Mercado, in olLning the
debate for the affirmative Mferred to the
confguration of the island as bearing out
his deductions and said that large proprietor
ship had q tendency towards protection. lie
also alluded to the large majority OF small
holdings in the island in proof OF the correct.
ness of his argument that o peasant proprle-
tarv is the best. Mr.. j. e. Ford followed on
the other side. and stated that the banana
industry, which had done so much good for
the country, had been brought about by
foreign capitalists. He also showed that
improvements could not be effected by small
proprietors where they could be done by
landed proprietors. Mr.. Mayner spoke on
both sides and came to the conclusion that
one was as good as the other and without
the one the other could not be. Mr.. Paine
followed on similar lines and thought that
cooperation was necessary by means Of fac
tories. There was nothing to prevent large
proprietors from taking advantage Of the
cooperative system. M. McFarlano gave
very good arguments on both Aides but with q
tendency towards small proprietorship. Mr..
George Solomon said that what was wanted
was a habit of thinking. Mr., Leon made a
forciblo speech, stating that the question was
a mixed one and suggested that the pros
perity (. the country was due to the men Of
money. Mr.. Samuels followed with the idea
that if the small proprietors were thrown out
there would be bankruptcy. Mr.. DeMercado
replied-as the Chairman said, very nicely,
prettily and efecti vely," and said that those
who had spoken for both Sides were really
on bis. The Chairman summed up in a very
clear and able manner, and the vote vas
taken. The members who followed Mr..
DeMercado trooped to the right, and those
on the other side, to the left, with the result
that a large majority declared in favour of a
peasant proprietary. A vote Of thanks to the
Chairman terminated the proceedings

Mr.. II. A. Hughes, the inventor OF the
caue communion, writes from hio Grande.
New.Jerseyt that the new bounty law ls OF
ip4ense interest there. Mr.. Hughes says
that with fields properly handled and with
Carefully constructed sugar houses, 'thty
know that eighty pounds ct 81 test sugar
should he averaged from sorghum canes,
even without any Improvement III seed,
hat with sorghum taken lis it Is now.
He O Y that cane can be raised and de-
livered in New Jersey ut $3.50 per ton.
Hence there should be ample margin IN
the business if labor saving tarnl machl~
cry is used.
Mr. Hughes seems to think that the
bounty on the sugar produced will pay for
the cane delivered at the factory, and hence
a factory with cane delivered free OF cost
should be a good investment and capitalists
should not hesitate to engage in the indus
try. Mr.. Hughes reasoning applies equal
Nv we'll to our tropical cane.
Mr.. Hughes doesn't seem 10 be SO conn:
dent, ofthe success of beet culture as OF
surgbum. he says the city markets pay
25 cents per basket for sugar beets about
forty r0unds). aud that beet. sugar houses
want them Mt 8 cents per basket, or "a

sugar can be raised, sugar factories run by
men familiar with tho beet business are

iect of working them for sugar III bis sec.
