THE BRITISH SUGAR PROBLEM.

The appointment Of Royal Commission TO
proceed to the spot aud investigate the subject
indicates that the British Government Is at last
aroused TO the importance Of preserving the
West India sugar industry. Indeed 1t is high
time. The sugar planters Of the British colo
MES are ON the verge OF ruin. Many of them
have already abandoned an industry which has
become Improbable. Yet it Is almost the only
Industry those colonies have. Jamaica grows
fruit Trinidad yields pitch, Guiana produces
gold. Yet those are minor interests compared
with sugar. For sugar forms 60 per cent Of
Jamaicas exports, 81 Of Guana's and - OF
Barbadoss No wonder that, since 1t is no
longer producble at profit. the planters are
growing desperate. and are talking OF transfer
ring their allegiance to the United States. in
hone that under our protective fiscal system they
will enjoy that prosperity which they think the
Cobdente lasseZ fare Of the British Empire
denies them.
The immediate cause of their distress Is the
connection of subsidized beet sugar in the
markets Of the world, and especially Of the
United Kingdom. In recent years the growth
of the beet-sugar industry has been enormous
In 1880 the world produced 100000 tons of
cane sugar and 100000 Of beet sugar. and in
1880 the figures were 1904, 600 Of the former and
4075. 600 of the latter. Now the British West
Indies produce only cane sugar. The beet sugar
comes from the Continent Of Europe. The lat
ter costs $40 ton to produce and sells for SAB -
a ton-an apparent loss OF 81 % ton. But the
Governments Of the producing countries pay a
bounty Of IS a ton. which enables the growers
and refiners to realize profit, and to undersell
British Colonial cane sugar in the British mar
ket. The result Is that while England consumes
two or three times as much sugar as any other
European country. her supply comes from
France Germany, the Low Countries Austria.
and even Russia, while her own colonies in
tropical America are on the verge OF ruin.
The latter. In their extremity. implore the
British Government TO do some one. at least Of
