BEET SUGAR.

From the southern part of the
State and from several of the west.
ern States come reports of increas-
ing interest in the manufacture of
beet sugar with projects, some of
which are of on extensive charac.
ter, for the development of this
industry. The principal induce
ment for these enterprises is the
bounty of 2 cents per pound now
paid by the Government to pro-
ducers of sugar. Without this en-
couragement or that afforded by a
high protective tariff it is doubtful
if many of these enterprises could
be made profitable. While heartily
favoring the extension of the beet
sugar industry on a legitimate
basis, we fear that those who en-
bark therein in the belief that the
bounty system is to be continued
indefinitely, and that they can de-
pend upon receiving a gratuity
from the Government at 2 cents
per pound on their product, will
be disappointed. There is no GER
tainty whatever that the bounty
system will become a permanent
feature of our fiscal policy. On the
contrary, so uncertain is popular
opinion on revenue questions, that
this system may perhaps be aban-
doned within a short period, thus
leaving those who have invested
capital in beet sugar enterprises in
an embarrassing position. The
constitutionality of sugar bounties
is doubted by many, and case is
now pending IN which this question
is involved in the United States
Supreme Court. An adverse de-
cision, it is needless to say, would
be most unfavorable to the domestic
sugar industry, particularly to
those who have embarked in the
production of beet sugar relying on
pecuniary aid from the government
for support.-[Ex.
