The Sugar Question.

We print in this issue, a letter
from Mr.. John Peters, superin-
tendent Of the Keystone planta-
ton, which contains figures that
may be discouraging to the cane
raiser. He proves clearly, On an
average. what may be expected
from cane cultivation, under pre-
sent circumstances.
Mr.. Peters puts the average
yield of the sugar output of the
state at 155 pounds, we believe
this is correct, but it is generally
conceded that the Teche lands
produce more sugar than the Ri
yer on the Lafourche lands. Their
highest average, we believe is l56
while ours, it is generally claimed
throughout the Teche section, be-
tween It's to 200 pounds. If lib
pounds, we have a margin for pro-
Queer and refner 1910; if 200
pounds as every one of the writer's
of st. Mary parish calculate upon,
We find a margin of 1915, at the
prices quoted by Nh. Peters, 8
cents for the first and 2 cents for
the second quality, for the profits
of producer and refiner.
If It's and 200 pounds of sugar
can be extracted from a ton of
cane there is still q living in su.
gar making with the present pro-
lection of 40 per cent sd valorem,
for the cane growers of the Teche
section, but it looks gloomy fol-
the River and Lafourche planters
if their yield is correctly reported
And If calculations have to be
made on the basis of 155 pounds,
as Mr.. Peters says, the present
condition is unfortunate.
Mr.. Peters, has justly ear.

of our people, and any statement
that he may make is accepted

fourth aud one tenth differentials

the Whiskey Trust we're special

lation as increase of 20 cents a
gallon on whiskey at their own

Free Alcohol clause of Senate bill
gives exemption to the Whiskey
Trust of 40 per cent on their pro-
duct. These two (blessed?) Trusts
are very specially benefited by

Their stock has increased in va
lue Is to 40 per cent in conse-

any thing about the purchasing
power of cotton at 5 cents q

wants the po,cer to purchase,
which is money. not the purcha-
sing po,cer which is the Evange-
lines poetic imagination. Be-
sides which hardware, crockery
and dry goods may be as alleged
ever 80 cheap without the little to
buy with, they are out of reach.
Having the incontrovertible fact,
that wages are better under pro-
lection, the case in fully settled,
for all wage earners prefer good
wages, which gives power to pur-
chase money than to have the
poetic purchasing power and no
money. Unfortunately free speech

our readers are accepted as true.
In his article he takes q general
view; his compilation being from
returns throughout the sugar belt.
It is much regretted that he did
not furnish figures from his own
experience, viz: Of Keystone plan
tation. If it be not considered
officious, we would be pleased for
Mr.. Peters to inform our readers
what was the average extraction
of juice from the cane ground on
his place in 1898? We beg to
assure Mr.. Peters that the MES
sENaER has no desire TO pry into
his private affairs, but consider
ing the precarious outlook for
cane, and in view of the wild ru-
mors circulating in regard to the
large extraction said to have been
realized, We think that in acqui-
escing in our request he will not
only set this matter in . clear
light, but his statement will be
accepted without doubt or ques-
ton.

PROTECTION NEEDED.

Our esteemed confrere of the
Evangeline, realizes that the tariff
is an issue, for he naively asks:
l If the American industries can
not stand without protection? 2.
What needs Protection? 8. Says
some bad things about Trusts in
bad language. 4. And says hard
ware, crockery, and dry goods are
reduced already so per cent s.
And concludes that the purchas-
ing power of the poor man or the
cotton farmer with cotton at 5 cts
. pound-(he did not say what he
concluded).
Reply. The American Indus
tries, Including sugar, rice, oran-
gss etc, can compete with the
world without protection if wages
are reduced to the level Of compe-
ting countries. That is to q cts
. day for cane field lsborers 8 cts
q day for rice laborerk The la
borers of this country object to
such wages, aud the Republicans
protect them from competition by
. Tariff. As to q prohibitive
tariff, he is vastly mistaken. no
such tariff ever existed except in
minds capable of weak imagine
ton, for ever since tue foundation
Of tho Government ninety per
cent of the revenues were derived
from the tariff, 90 it could not
have been prohibitive. Until re-
Gently all parties were pledged to
protection, either direct or Incl.
dental. Even Mr.. Cleveland, Mr..
Carlisle, Mr.. Wilson and other
Democratic statesmen agree that
some protection is necessary.
Hon. Andrew Price, says SO too.
Sugar and rice then must need
protection if even free traders
grant it. So it is simply a ques-
ton of what is to be protected and
how much it should he protected.
We in st. Martin parish want su.
gar and rice protected Mr.. Editor
Evangeline, for none engaged in
cane growing want to sell cane on
q basis of 2 cents q pound for su-
gar even if hardware, crockery
and dry goods are reduced so per
cent. This reduction Of so per
cent on above goods if true, is q
very serious reflection on the mer.
chants of st. Msrtinville, for the
Wholesale prices have not been
reduced on dry goods but 2 pc.
cent, hardware s per cent, and
crockery 8 per cent The only
conclusion left is that the St
Martinville merchants have been
making enormous profits. The
Tariff was in no way responsible
for these profits, for they were q
merchants tax, not q tariff tax.
