against the refined sugars coming
nom countries that paid a bounty on
sugars exported-the practical effect
OF which was to levy an additional one
tenth cent per pound upon refined sugars
coming from Germany, as that country
was the only country that practically
gave a bounty upon all refined sugars.
The development of the beet-sugar in
duStry has been SO rapid within the last
few years that nearly three-tifths of the
worlds product of sugar is now ex-
tracted from beets, and little more than
tWo-hfthS from sugar-Cane. Under the
law OF 1890 great impetus was given to
the production OF cane-sugar in Louisi
ana and Texas, and of beet-sugar in Cal
Iornla and Nebraska, and in 1893 LouiSi-
ana nearly doubled her production"
Mr.. Allison then quoted from President
Cleveland's letter of July I'd last to Chair
man Wilson relative to the action of the
House on sugar, and then said that
while the Democrats prolessed to be in
dIgnant at the Presidents action, they
passed law which provides duty on
sugar, which, though it inadequately pro-
notes the industry, nevertheless levies a
tax equal to 81 per annum upon every
man, woman and child in the United
States. We are left without adequate
protection, but it must not be forgotten
| that the Republican party in the Senate
and House voted against every provision
and every suggestion placing a duty on
sugar. The production OF sugar in Ger
many from beets this year will be l,700,-
OU0 tons. Can any one tell why these
sugars made from beets should be grown
there rather than here, and transported to
y NeW ork and from thence into the great
agricultural States OF the West for con-
sumption? 1t has been demonstrated
that the soil of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
California and Oregon is especially
ada nj m rho Nfh hootc. haf
sugar per acre can be produced here than
III any part OF Germany, and yet, for Il
theory, we destroy this power of pro-
duction.
The beets are taken from the soil and
manipulated at the factory to the point OF
producing granulated sugar. These pro-
cesses can be seen at Grand Island and
Norfolk, in Nebraska, in Utah, in Cali
fornla and III Louisiana. In this way
small factories would be established in
the interior of our country, making it
impossible for great combinations TO con-
| troll the prices.''
