SUGAR BOUNTIES.
An Industry That Has Been Crippled by
Democratic Legislation.


Democratic Legislation.
Last fall Secretary Foster estimated
the amount that would be required for
the bounty on American sugar under
the provisions of the Mckinley bill at
$40. .000, 900. 1T turns out that the csti-
mate was excessive, the amount being
in reality only 80. 100 000 The total
sugar crop on which a bounty will be
paid during the present fiscal year Is es-
timated at about $50 100000 pounds,
which is an increase of about 100, ,000,-
600 pounds over the fiscal year of 1892.
The production Of beet sugar has adj
vanced from II, 900, 900 pounds, in round
numbers, in 1892 to $1,000, 900 pounds in
| 1898. The product of maple sugar this
year will be about 1000, 900 pounds, sor-
ghum production about / 900, 900 pounds,
and the cane production about $50, 000,-
600 pounds. The effect of the bounty
as reported by the government has not
been to increase the number of estab-
lishments, but to enlarge old ones and
stimulates the introduction Of new
machinery and an increase in the pro-
ducing capacity.
In view of the open threats made bY
the democratic party Of 1892, that one
of its first acts when in power would be
to repeal the sugar bounty act. it IS lit
tie wonder that there il no increase re-
ported in the number of sugar Droduc-
! ing and making establishments in the
United States. Who can wonder that
farmers would not plant their land TO
sugar beets, or that capitalists would
not invest their money in sugar-mak-
| ing plants, with the threat hanging
over them that the democratic party
would repeal the sugar bounty, and
compel the American producer to wage
an unequal and hopeless warfare with
the alien producers of sugar?
When congress meets the next time,
| whether in extra or regular session,
this question of sugar bounties will
have to be settled The Mckinley act,
in terms, promised the continuance OF
the bounty until July 1905, but demo
cratic congress, which never has any
care or regard for domestic industries,
may have no hesitation in breaking
| this promise made to the sugar makers
of California, Nebraska and Louisiana,
