Early Use OF Sugar.
New York Ledger.

%NNN vi 4A(ASGAs
The sugar cane and its uses have been
known in India, its native home, from time
immemorial. 1t is perhaps the earliest
source from which sugar was produced, and
all other modes of manufacture have been
borrowed from or based on Ii. The early
classical writers knew sugar vaguely as
honey of canes" To the Greco-R oman
world the sugar was the reed which the
swarthy Indians delighted to chew and
from which they extracted a mysterious
sweetmeat.
1t was the Arabs-those great carriers
between the East and the West-who in
troduced the cane in the middle ages into
Egypt. Sicily and the south of Spain,
where 1t fiourished ~abundantly until West
Indian slavery drove it out of the field for
a time and sent the trade in sugar to ia
maica and Cuba Naturally you can afford
to undersell your neighbors when you de-
cline to pay any wages to your laborers.
Egyptian sugar was carried to London in
P~lantagenet times by the Venetian fleet,
where ii was exchanged for wool, the staple
product of medieval England.
Early in the sixteenth century the cane
was taken from Sicily to Madeira and the
Canaries. Thence ii found its way to Bra
I'll and Mexico, to Jamaica and Hayti.
Cane sugar was well known in Italy about
the second century, and has been common
in England since the Tudor period. The
spacious days Of great Elizabeth had sugar
for their sack; and ginger was hot in the
mouth, too, asXwe all well remember.
