Beet Sugar Enterprise,

The people Of Nebraska are losing no
time In making arrangements to take
advantage Of the sugar bounty bill that
has just been enacted by their State
Legislature. Just two and half years
ago arrangements had been practically
concluded for the erection of large
number of beet sugar factories in Ne
braska by Eastern capitalists. The ar
ticles Of incorporation had been drawn
up for a company with a capital of 3d.
OO0, 600, but the election of Mr. Cleve-
land as President Of the United States
in November 1892, together with a
free-trade Congress, Immediately bar
red any further progress in this direc-
ton.
The associates in this enterprise were
several gentlemen from New England
and New York City, together with Mr.
NJ. A. Lunn, of Lincoln, Nebraska, who
came East to present his plans. They
met with favor, We're approved of and
acted upon, until the elections in No
vember, 1892, put wet blanket upon
the whole scheme. We believe it Is
the intention Of Mr.. Lunn to pick up
his thread where fate snatched it from
his hands in 1892 Since then he has
been actively engaged in explaining, in
a practical way to practical farmers,
what benefits they would gain by
growing sugar beets.
His original plans have in no way
been disarranged. merely delayed, and,
II now acted upon, there should soon
be erected in southeastern Nebraska
as extensive beet sugar factories as
are sure to be built at Lincoln. It is
hoped that one or more of these will be
rdady for operation in the season Of
1896.
If other States would follow the ex-
ample of Nebraska In promoting their
agricultural interests, it would not be
long before the United States would be
dotted from one end of the country to
the other with sugar factories. These
would supply all our home require
ments and involve the expenditure of
millions of dollars In the construction
Of buildings and machinery. They
would divert part Of our agricultural
lands to crops more profitable than
those now grown, and would stimulate
local trade In every section where a
factory Is erected, besides very largely
enhancing the value Of local property.
The sugar bounty bill was passed in
the Nebraska State Legislature over
Governor HOlcomb's veto, the vote in
the House being yeas 08, nays o, and
In the Senate, yeas 26, nays 5. The
bill was practically carried by Repub-
lican votes. the Populists, with Two
exceptions, voting against it and the
Populist Governor vetoing 1t.

Totals. 1850, 10000 $3.50 121 600
The wheat harvest of 1894 was 22O,-
100000 bushels larger than in 1891,
the increase in Europe being 100000
600 bushels, in Australia 100000
bushels, and in South America $4,000
600 bushels. In Africa and Asia there
was practically no change in the sup
ply, but in North America there was a
decrease of nearly 2O,OOO,OOO bushels
In Canada, and over 15O,OOO,OOO bush
els in the United States. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the North American
continent produced 173,OOO,OOO bushels
less wheat In 1894 than In 1891, the
export price of wheat fell from 50
cents a bushel in 1891 to 63 1-3 cents in
June Of 1894.
Our per capita consumption of wheat
In 1901 was ass bushels; in 1892 1t ia
creased to sol bushels per head OF our
population, but in 1893 1t fell again to
4.S5 bushels per capita. This meant
a smaller home market for our own
wheat by 100000 bushels in 1898
than we had in 1892.
When the countries outside Of North
America increase their wheat supplies
by OO,OOO,OOO bushels within four sea-
sons, it Is very evident that the United
States crop is becoming less Of fac
tor in the regulation Of price; also,
that we shall not only feel the effect Of
this increased foreign growth in de-
probation of values, but that we may
also look for considerable importations
of foreign wheat, unless 1t is excluded
from our American markets by tar
if that will afford ample protection to
the American farmer.
If our consumption of wheat should
still further decrease by the closing Of
any wooden factories. for instance, and
the idleness Of the hands, the farmers
will still more feel the effect of free
trade upon the price Of wheat

Of Interest to Labor.

Our exports from France have been
increasing since our new tariff went
into effect, and in January there was
extraordinary activity In the exports
of all textiles" The value Of the silk
goods shipped increased from f6O6, 800
in January, 1893, to f944, 800 in Janu-
airy, 1894, an increase Of 81 ,69O. 900. OF
French wooden goods the exports were
81, 100000 larger this January than in
1893; Of cotton goods they were $685.
600 larger; Of linen goods they in
creased from $67 900 up to $3.50, 500, and
Of jute stuffs from $4,000 In January,
1893. up to $4,000 in January, 1894.
Much Of the silks and woolens came to
the United States-a fact that Ameri-

STANDING Out (;lanlers.

Veterinary Surgeon j. w. Elliott has
just returned to Aberdeen from Campbell
County. where he has been investigating
the CHAMBERS scare in that section. He
found people quite alarmed, but reports
only two cases of genuine CHAMBERS,
though distemper was quite prevalent.
Mr.. Elliott will soon revisit the Cheyenne
Agency, where he has been called by the
Government to make most active effort
to stamp out the terrible disease from
among the Indian herds of horses. 1t Is
claimed that in some large herds II to 10
per cent. of the horses are diseased. On
his previous visit DR.. Elliott met with
many drawbacks and some resistance. He
now has full authority to kill and burn the
diseased animals and will fulfill his in
structions to the letter.
