The SUGAR QUESTION.

SeuAtor Allison, Of Iowa, recently
opened the Iowa campaign and bis
speech was devoted almost entirely tc
the sugar question and the action ol
congress thereupon for the past foul
years. Modern invention, he said, has
In the past twenty years greatly less
ened the cost Of refining sugar and the
cost has gradually diminished. The
protection on refined sugar has been re-
duced until. by the act Of 1890, all
sugars not above sixteen Dutch standard
In color were made admitted free Of
duty, and ell refined sugars and sugart
above sixteen Dutch standard in color
were admitted free Of duty, and all Il.
fined sugar and sugars above sixteen
Dutch standard In color, being sugar.
not required to be refined on account
Of their purity, paid duty Of oLe-bali
cent per pound, With an additiuna'
one.tenth ofa cent per pound as against
the refined sugars coming from cOun-
tries that paid bounty on sugars ex-
ported, the practical effect of which
was to levy an sdditioual one-tentl
cent per pound upon refined sugar
coming from Germsny,ss that COUNTRY
was the only country that practically
gave bounty upon all refined sugars.
The de .elopment OF the beet sugar in
dustTy bas been 80 rapid within the
asst few years that nearly three-fifths
If the worlds sugar is nov extracted
from beets. aud a little more
than twO-ffths from sugsI
cane. Under the law Of 1890 great
impetus was given to the production
Of cane sugar in Louisiana and Texas,
and of beet sugar in California and Ne
braska, and Ia 1898 Louisiana nearly
doubled her production,
Mr.. Allison then jumped from Presi
dent Cleveland's letter Of July 2, last,
tn Chairman Wilson, relative to the
action of the house on sugar, and then
said that while the Democrats pro
fessed to be Indignant at the presidents
action, they passed law which pro
vides duty on sugar which, though il
inadequately promotes the industry,
nevertheless 1t leVies tax equal to 81
per annum upon every man, oman
and child in the Uuited States. We
are left without adequate protection,
but 1t must not be forgotten that the |
party in the senate and |
house voted against every provision |
and every suggestion placing duty on
sugsr. The production Of sugar in
Germany from beets this year will be
|, 700, 900 tons. Can anyone tell why
bese beets should be grown there
'ather than here and exported to New
York and then into the great agricul-
ural states Of the West for consump-
ion? 1t has been demonstrated that
he soil of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
California and Oregon is especially
adapted to the growth of the beet; that
more sugar per acre can be produced
Iere than in any part of Germany, and
ret, for theory, we destroy this power
# production.
The beets are taken from the soil and
at the factory to the point
4 producing granulated sugar. These
processes can be seen at Grand Island
nd Norfolk in Nebraska, in Utah, in
california and In Louisiana.
In this way small factories would be
In the interior of our coun-
ry, making 1t impossible for great COM
inations to control the prices.

IN LESS THAN SIXTY DAYS
The Richmond Locomotive Works Builds
Three Huge Engines.

on the nth of last January the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company
ordered three heavy ten-wheel passenger
engines from the Richmond Locomotive
and Machine Works, 10 be delivered IN
sixty days from receipt OF the order.
This type Of engine had never been bult
I'm Richmond before. and the amount Of
detail involved in such work made the
best friends Of the Locomotive Works
think It would be impossible for them to
nll their contract on time.
The works. however, proved themselves
equal 10 the emergency, and although
The engines were not due until tomorrow,
the first one Of them was turned out OF
The shop under steam. last Friday, ana
thoroughly tested and delivered under
steam yesterday morning dhe fifty-sev-
enth day. and hftieth working day from
receipt Of order 10 the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company, at Manches-
ter. ready for service. The second engine
was tested. under steam, yesterday and
found to be thoroughly satisfactory. and
viii be delivered tomorrow morning.
The third engine will also be tested and
delivered tomorrow.
The building Of new locomotives WITHIN
sixty days marks new epoch IN the
history Of the Richmond Locomotive
and Machine Works, and places these
works I'm the foremost rank with similar
Industries in this country.
These engines were designed by Cap
tain r. D. Wade. superintendent Of mo-
tive power Of the Richmond and DanViile
system. and will be used for their heaNl-
est and fastest passenger service.
The engines are thoroughly complete In
every respect and fitted with all the
modern improvements, including Westing-
house American air brakes; Westinghouse
automatic train signal; Leach's auto
matte track sanding apparatus; the Con-
solidated Car Heating Companys attach
ment for heating passenger cars; Janney
