We thus find that within tho past
year the three varied statements which
have been set forth by the Sugar trust
as to the cost of refining sugar show a
discrepancy Of $40, S5s, o25. Which one
are wo to believe is the correct one? Let
us try to find out,
The average weight of barrel Of
sugar may be taken at 1926 pounds,
which means total annual consump-
ton Of ID, 36S, REQ barrels year in the
Il United States. II the rofineries work on
8a5 days in each year, it means daily
output Of 4i,1i9 barrels. II they work
only on an average of 800 days yearly,
it means an average daily output of
A, 900 barrels of sugar. ...=
1t takes 800 men on an average to do
the entire work of refining and deliver
ing an output of 5000 barrels of sugar
daily, and this is a liberal allowance.
I'VE thus have total Of 10, 900 men con
stantly employed throughout the year
to handle an output of As, 600 barrels
If we compare the number of persons
thus employed by the ref1ners with the
total cost of refining sugar, we are en-
labled to ascertain their annual wages
Thus;
