reported to the house by the majority of
the said committee, but they stop short
when their protest and criticisms ended,
offering never so much as a suggestion
of what they would propose in lieu Of
the majority measure. 1t is not too
much too say that had the majority re-
port been made along the lines of the
Mills bill of the Fiftieth congress the
Democrats would kick against it lust the
same. This is borne out by the fact that
the Mckinley bill proposes a greater re
ducti0n of the revenues than the Mills
bill did. The burthens of the Demo-
cratic cry has been "reduce the surplus
in the treasury by reducing the rates of
import duties" The bill now before

AMERICAN SUGAR CULTURE.

From the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
As is well known to our reader, we
have persistently advocated the mainte-
nance Of the duties on sugar for the pur-
pose Of establishing in the United States
one of the most valuable agricultural in
dustries, if not the most valuable. known
to the world. We have confidently
affirmed that this country is capable of
producing all its own sugar with as little
labor as is required to produce it else
where-and with immense advantage to
farmers north and south. with wide
reaching benefits to mechanics and
workmen in making the machinery TO
extract the sugar and refine it. and with
a saving of nearly 500. 100000 that is
now annually paid by us TO foreign farm
erS and manufactures 10 encourage and
promote the business of making sugar in
foreign countries.
1t has been shown that we consume in
the United States nearly as much sugar
as bread-and that this one article of
food costs our people about $3.50, 900 600
annually at the prices paid by CON
sumers.
We claim that no valid reason can be
given why we should not produce at
home this kind of food as wei as our
bread and our meat, diversity our farm
products, save an enormous tax now paid
foreign nations. give employment to
thousands of our workmen. and add
hundreds of millions annually to the
wealth of this country.
