The Chicago Dispatch Is free silver
paper and very prominent promoter
of Altgeldism. To it the defeat OF
Bryan and Altgeld was a dose more
bitter than the very quintescence OF
gall, which is also shared by many ar
dent admirers OF the principles 1T
advocated. Doubtless it would much
rather have witnessed the closing OF
every factory in the country than to
have Organism suffered defeat, and
now TO let itself and followers down as
easy as possible is giving publication
20 such rank communications as this:
BELDING, Mich, Nov. 20.-This is
the city OF silk, and they told the
laborers before election that IL McKin-
| ley was elected everything would
boom; that the factories would all
start with full crews and on full time.
This is how they have kept their word:
| The Basket factory laid off twelve men
three days after election; the silk mill
cut the girls wages down. The Refrig-
orator Mandatory, the largest here,
is not running, and IL is not known
when it can start. The Furniture fac
tory is running with about fifteen men
the same as it has been all summer.
You don't hear any of the factory
managers talking of confidence now
nor OF prosperity. A. j. OSBORN.
Aaron's zeal in the cause of Bryan
was at times very demonstrative dur
ing the campaign and reflected his
sentiments with exactpess. Three
years of persistent effort was consumed
by such newspapers as the Dispatch
and its followers in disorganizing bus
mess and closing factories, and it could
hardly be expected that the damage
inflicted could be repaired and the
machinery placed in running order in
a few weeks. Let it be understood,
however, in reply to the above COM
munication, that both the factories Of
the Belding-Hall Manfg. Co. will start
up next Tuesday on full time with IA
force of 225 men. The company have
been preparing for this every day since
election. The cause Of the temporary
lull in business at the Basket factory
was from an impossibility to get logs
delivered to cars from the place of
purchase on account Of the bad condi-
tion OF roads. +. A. WASH burn OF the
Richardson Silk Co. and f. w. Howard
of Bedding Bros. & Co. each state that
no cut in wages has been made at their
mills, the latter company have in
creased their force, and the working
hours have also been placed at the old
standard of full time, sixty hours a
week.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

EDITOR OF THE BELDING BANNER:
Dear Sir-I have been quite interested
in the beet sugar industry and as your
city is one of the most enterprising
manufacturing cities in this section,
and hoping that this industry may re-
ceive due notice by both farmers and
manufacturers. AS we have both soil
and climate we'll adapted to the cul-
ture OF the sugar beet, / believe it
would be the best enterprise for both
producer and manufacturer that could
be located in your town. Eaclosed
forward you slip from the Indiana
Farmer, please publish the same and
oblige, VIM. PENNY, Shiloh
The live question among farmers
now is what can be done to make farm.
ing pay. If sugar beet growing pays
in Nebraska may it not be made profit
able in other grain-growing states?
1t is an interesting question. What,
then, are they doing in that state that
is taking the lead in this industry?
The season is so far advanced that a
pretty close estimate of the beet sugar
product may be made, and the output
of the great Oxnard factories is expect
ed to reach a total OF $1,000, 900 pounds
from $4,000 tons of beets. This is
about twice as large field as that of
1895, and nearly three times as great
as that OF 1894. At the same time the
number OF farmers who have cultivated
beets has increased with like rapidly
In 1894 only about 500, and in 1895,
/ 300 engaged in the business, but the
present year the number reached about
1000. The average yield has been
about eleven tons Of beets to the acre,
and the price per ton has ranged from
81 to 81. The latter figure was paid
for beets that contained the remarkable
high percent OF 20; the lower price was
given for those that graded only IL
per cent. of sugar. The amounts re-
ceived by the growers by the growers
ranged from $44 to S77 per acre. The
average amount of beets grown by each
farmer was only about thirty-seven
tons, showing that less than four acres
were planted, on the average. But the
profit from this small area was from
$3.50 to S200-more, probably, than was
derived from the remainder OF the
farm. 1t is an interesting fact that in
all the foreign sugar-beet growing
countries, including France, Germany
and Russia, this industry is steadily
increasing. In the last named country
the increase last year was nearly q
per cent. over the amount grown In
previous years. The subject is GER
tainly we'll worthy OF consideration by
our farmers. -Indiana Farmer.
