Upton. Iowa, Oct. 2-At the cou IL
" convention today Il magnificent au
Gience assembled to listen to Unite,
States Senator Allis on. L. III. Broth
lin, president, who introduced th
speaker, said Iowa would be proud t,
follow him as presidential candidat
two years hence. The senator re
sponded happily.
Senator Allison's S speech was devoted
almost entirely to the sugar question
and the aclion OF congress thereupo1
ior the past four years. Moder1 in
ventlon, he said, has in the last 2
years greatly lesseued the cost of re-
lining sugar, ana as this cost has gradu
ally diminished, the protection OF re-
fined sugar has been reduced, until by
| the act of 1899 al sugars not above II
/ Dutch standard 10 color were admitted
free, and all refined sugars aud sugars
above Is Dutch standard in color. be
ing sugars not required to lie refined
because OF their purity, paid !. duty o1
hall a cent per pound, with an addi.
tinnal one-tenth of a cent per pound
as against refined sugars coming from
countries that paid y bounty on sugar
exported, The practical effect of W hicl
was to levy ali ;dditional oue-tenth oi
a cent per pound upon refined sugars
coming from Germany, as thas was
tue only county that practically gave
a bounty upon ali refined sugars.
Eeet Sugar Industry.

Industry hes been so rapid within the
last few years that nearly three-titths
Of The worlds product Of sugar is now
extracted irom beets and little more
than two-fifths from sugal cane.
Under the law of 1890 great impetus
was given to the production OF cane
sugar i'll Louisiana and Texas and of
and in 1893 Louisiana nearly doubled
quoted from President Cleveland;s let
ter OF July 20 last TO Chairman Wilson
relative to the action of the house on
sugr, aud then said that while the
democrats professed to be indignant at
the presidents action, they passed d
law which provides that the duty OH
sugar which, though it inadeq quately
promotes the Industry, nevertheless it
levies Il tax equal to 81 per annum on
every man, woman and child in tie
United States.
We are left without adequate produc-
ton, but it must not be forgotten that
the republican party in the senate and
house voted against every provision
,ina Jt,fy II ifX
on sugar. The production Of sugar in
Germany from beets this year will be
/, 100000 tons. Can any one tell why
these beets should be grown there
rather than here, and transported to
New York and from thence into the
great agricultural states of the west for
coisulu ption? 1t has been demon
strated that the soil of Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, California aud Oregon
is especially adapted to the growth of
beets; that more sugar per acre can be
produced here than in any part of Ger
many, and get, for theory, we destroy
| this power Of production.
The beets are taken from the soil and
manipulated at the factory to the point
of producing GRADUATED sugar. These
processes can be seen at Grand Island
and Norfolk, in Nebraska, in Utah,
in California and in Louisiana. In
this way small! factories would be es-
tabished III the interior Of our coun-
try, making it Impossible for COM
blnations to control prices.
