Di6us2 ON Versus the
9Id n99Came Mil.
(From the louisiana Planter and
Sugar liMan4fact@rer.)

tu0l AOu1oIduH OuSdT L lHnI0TS ASSDCI-
alton proposes to discuss the relative
profit of extraction by diffusion and
the'cane mill, concerning which this
journal. desires to say something in
advance.
Our readers will not have forgotten
how, in the past history of Jul sugar
industry, every proposed manufactur.
ing innovation has had at first to en-.
counter a captious opposition. 1t was
said OF the vacuum pan in the begin
ming that it produced sugar less sweet
than that from open kettles, and after
erection one or two of these were &C.
tually taken down and discarded.
C~entrifugaIs, which were introduced a
few years later, were next objected to
as@dangerous and their general adop,
ton greatly delayed by the bursting Of
one in P~laquemines or somewhere
else. Then came the almost total re.
lection of Rillieux's grand invention,
which mig bit at once have made The
industry rich almost beyond the
chances of fortune had it been
promptly appreciated, but which was
destined rather to enrich the yards Of
old junk dealers.
And so it was with sulphur, be-
cause ancient sugar makers were too
O%nEearned to "~neutralize the excess of
acid with increase of alkali." So it
was also with the hydraulic pressure
regulator, with scales for weighing
cane with the filter press, and, in
short, with pretty much every thing
else while it is yet new. Those who
knew least of The possibilities delayed
progress and profit alike by what has
sinceitranspired to have been only
.senseless obstruction.
Even the FIVE roller mill, which
next Thursday night will enter the
debate on an equality with diffusion,
had once its share of hostility to en-.
counter. Tight grinding ruined the
quality OF the sugar." so it was con-
tended, "without increasing its guam
tity;" and in consequence, it was only
after twenty-five years that the
sixth of these was followed by the
seventh of its kind, some of The orr
gins1Isix having been abandoned in
the Interim. There was even a time
when the application of steam TO mill
ing was confronted by similar objpc-
tiohs, and to this day the second five
roller mill 81 constructed is opcrat-
ed as a three roller machine.
But, Notwithstanding this ceaSelpss
obstruction, the triumph of progress
has left no satisfaction beyond the
rIinous delay and final discontinue
toothe. obstructionists. Rejected here
while yet they might have given her
a. legitimate, temporary advantage
over her competitors, Louisiana has
seen these and other improvements,
one after another, first adopted to her
injury elsewhere, only to come to them
herself at last, after having so crip-
pied her capital and her credit by

now to poor, largely in consequence
of her tardiness, TO add this to n IN
each score Ol her factories. Whereas,
the five roller mill was invented es.
pecinlly to meet her requirements,
she does not even now possess one IN
ten of this description, although the
Sandwich Islands, beginning with
them thirty odd years later, ::hava but
Two, or possibly three, of any other.
Tie merit of her hydraulic regu-
lator lay for years, and might yet lie,
u~nrecognized except that il was
introduced by an English engineer
ing firm into the English co
Ionies; and it is now in use, we
are informed, only in u e.sixth Of our
sugar houses. II has been the same
with pretty much every other inven'
ton which might have been Of excep'
tional service TO her 49, inventions
which should have made her rich,
bavp, time and again, in the hands of
antagonists, been all but her ruin.
From this damaging conservatism,
diffusion has not, as yet altogether
escaped, though il has not failed by
it's industrial victories to rFbnke anew
the same old opposition winch has
confronted every other effort towards
all improved manufacture. Already,
before a first trial, our people had
pronounced The chipping of cane, on
any considerable scale, to be a me-
~'Iranica! impossibiIity. 1t was de-
clnred, without reservation, that the
exhausted chips could not, by any
possibility, be removed from the cells
in reasonable times or at reasonable
cost. Besides, diffusion juices could
not, it was said, be clarified, o the
difased sugar be made to crystalline.
1t maltered not what was being an
nually done at A>ka. There were
those here, high in authority, 100,
who knew more about il all, amidst
their failures, than did those who bad
the process in successful operation
abroad.
