POLITICS VS. REASON.

The Cresset of last week was filled
with its usual misstatements and alb
surd reasoning. 1t especially cham
pions the cause of the Medicine Lodge
sugar mill and abuses Jerry. Now we
are proud of our sugar mill, glad We
have it ard want to see it prosper. We
are equally sorry that the Cresset has
taken the course it has; had it even
kept to tue sembIance of truth, we
would have said nothing, but IN order
that the voters of Barber county may
have correct understanding of this
sugar question, we have concluded to
give facts concerning the sugar mill
and prove our statements from the
Cresset.
The sugar mill was built IN 1889 By
Messrs. Eldred and Human. The
city donated water works bonds
amounting to about S35, 600 and the
farmers donated two tons of cane to
each acre contracted. The result of
the first year was not satisfactory to
the farmers; they had the satisfaction
of paying their donation and retaining
a great portion of their crops in the
field. Still the following spring the
farmers came up smiling and contract
ed sorghum again; also each recurring
year, till the present, and it is the pres
ent that We will deal with.
The sugar mill this year contracted
for the raising and delivery to the mill,
3,5ll acres. They restricted their liza
bility 10 6 tons per acre and not tons
as indicated by the Cresset. If a full
crop had been raised and the capacity
of the mill such as to be able to utilize
it, then the loss to the farmers at 424cts
per ton, would have been $685. 05,
but there are just two factors that are
necessary to make that loss complete;
they are, short crop and the inability
of the mill TO work q ,066 tons, as they
contracted to work, during one season
We do not want to disparage the mill;
the Cresset is our authority if we do.
1t says the mill, up to and including
last Wednesday, the Goth Of September,
had received ,484 tons of cane. As the
seasons run is at least half through, it
is safe to assume that the amount of
cane that will be worked this season
will be S.96S tons; should we have an
early frost the amount would be con.
siderably less. But assuming that
they work 6,968 tons, the loss to the
farmers would be So ,S1140. So the
Cresset's statement that the farmers
loss would be 10,445 22.5 on account of
the repeal of the Mckinley law Is in
correct, unless the repeal of the law
caused our short crop and the inability
of the mill to work full crop of 3,511
acres of cane.
