The March number of the United
States Consular Reports, just received,
contains brief summary of "The Beet
Sugar Industry Of France" prepared by
Horace Greeley Knowles. Consul
Knowles reports 4t9 beet sugar factories
in France, most of which are located in
the northern departments. These fac.
tories run night and day the year round,
shutting down only two or three days
for cleaning and repairs. Statistics Of
production arc available only up to the
close of 1890. During that year the
product of beet sugar amounted to
1,o92,661 1855 pounds. The quantity Of
sugar imported during the same year
amounted to 340,473,991 pounds, on
which duties amounting to $lS,004,-
524.76 were collected. There is no
bounty on domestic sugar and nothing
is realized from internal revenue taxa
ton. Such a tax, as we understand
Consul Knowles article, is legally col
lectible only upon the excess of sugar
coming out of the refinery over the de.
clared quantity Of raw sugar entering
the factory. The aim of this taxation
Is to discourage the use of foreign oil
deleterious substances to- increase the
product and two or more officers are
stationed at each factory whose duty ii
is to note and tax any such excess OF
production. Since the passage Of the
law, however, mot a single refinery
throughout France has produced or ar.
rived at an excess"

THE most surprising feature Of the

its gains where they were least expected.
The stress Of the fight was for the con
troll Of the legislature, upon which will
deyolve the choice OF United States
senator, bringing to the front national
issues. Notwithstanding some blunder-
ing on their legislative tickets, the
Democrats made extraordinary gains,
chiefly in the country districts. The
Republicans, on the other hand, made
unexpected gains on their state ticket.
The Democratic state ticket was not
satisfactory to the Independent voters
and 1t is evident that the bIcKinleyism
is not altogether relished by Republican
voters. In the November contest q
plurality vote will win, and there is moth.
