work and care become the best,
the most prosperous, and the most
influential journal in this part of
Minnesota. ROBERT McCUNE.
The Mckinley tariff is proved
not to be a Chinese wall. It has
proved our capacity to buy, and to
balance the excess of imports over
exports. Unless tariff Legislation
is +indulged in that will break our
wage system, the sugar plan alone
in the Mckinley bill will turn the
balance of trade in our favor by
which an outflow of upward of
$8O,OOO,0O0 of gold annually will
be stopped; and the bounty paid
will remain here as basis of pur-
chasing power the measure of
which cannot be estimated. Our
farmers, stimulated by the bounty
on sugar, will soon learn to raise
beets for sugar, and the bounty can
be scaled down and finally it can
be abolished.
Mr.. John T. Smith, of louisiana,
writes to the American Economist
as follows: "Your statement in the
issue of August 18 that the produ-
GERS of cane sugar, 635 in all, re-
ceived $8,762,93O.7O in bounty for
the year ending June 80, 1898 is
somewhat misleading, as it would
give the ordinary reader the i'm
preston that 635 persons only pro-
duced the sugar upon which the
bounty was paid. The fact is that it
took nearly 4O0, 900 people to make
that crop, or to supply those 635
factories among which the bounty
was distributed. While the major
ity of planters vote free trade, if
our elections were conducted in
such a manner that every man
could cast his vote and have it
counted as cast, you would see at
least four protection Congressman
from Louisiana, instead Of the six
free traders who now misrepre-
sent us. All sugar planters are not
free traders. know of many who
voted for protection at the last
election, but fol, the reasons above
stated their vote was lost. We live
in hope that the day is not far off
when Projections voice will be
heard even in Louisiana.
