TARIFF AND IRON.

A further study of the iron question
shows that free trade is ruinous TO en-
ployer and employe alike in the mining
Industries of the United States.
1t is shown by the testimony OF experts,
published in to-day's CALL, that without
a reasonable protective tariff American
wares are on par with those of the cheap
labor regions of Europe, and this in
evitably results in lowering OF the wages
of American workmen.
For such reasons as these the thought
ful citizen will be slow to abandon the safe
ground of protection and prosperity for
the uncertain dreams of Bryanism. 1t
was Bryan, more ardently than any other
man, who argued for the Wilson bill as
healthful measure for the country. In his
most celebrated Congressional effort Bryan
argued for free coal, free iron, free wool
and free lumber. The CALL has now
shown conclusively that business ruin and
industrial disaster have followed in the
wake of the Wilson bill in every one of
these great industries

CALIFORNIA MUCH INTERESTED

Over $4,000 men are now working nearly
2500 mines in "a counties of California; |;
besides there is a small army of prospec-
tors ransacking every nook and corner
that gives an indication of concealing
either one or both OF the precious metals.
More than twice as many mines are in
operation than there were last year and
there are more than twice as many men
earning good wages. All this is indicative
of something. There is no more metal
in hiding than there was last year, nor
have prices in the metal markets under
gone change that would warrant such
activity in the mining industry. There is,
however, more confident feeling in all
lines of trade and business, and naturally
the mining interest of The Stete would re-
spond to it.

THE BEET.SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Los Angeles Times.

In $780, the year before the Mckinley
bounty law took effect, about 6, 1000, 900 pounds
OF beet-sugar were produced in this country.
OF this all but $4,000 pounds were produced
in California. Under the stimulus of the
bounty the production of beet-sugar rapidly
increased, until in 1894 lin which year the
bounty was repealed by the Wilson billy the
production amounted to over $4,000, 600
pounds. About four-fifths OF this quantity was
produced III California, and the remainder in
Nebraska, Utah and Virginia. Nearly one
half of the product of this State came from
Chino.
The advantages of this State as compared
with other States for the production of beet
sugar as shown by official reports are very
great The average yield of sugar per acre OF
beets in California was 1888 pounds. In Utah
it was but 1491 pounds per acre, in Nebraska
1927 pounds, while in Virginia it was only
1912 pounds per acre.
The beet-sugar factories in California are
three in number, one located at Watsonville
near Monterey (the Spreckels factory, one al
AlvaIado, near San Francisco, and the other
at Chino. The superiority of Southern Califor-
n ia as the home of the sugaT-beeti is manifested
by the fact that the average yield of sugar 20

against 24S8 pounds at Alvarado and 2432
pounds at Watsonville. The average proper
over 13 per cent, far exceeding any oNer per

unequaled in the world.
We import annually about 3,500,000,00
pounds of sugar, in payment for which we
send gold out OF the country to the amount OF
Sl06 600, 900. Would it not be better to pro.
duce the sugar here and keep this money al
home to be paid to our farmers and laborers
Would ii not be desirable to cover Southern
California with prosperous villages, depending
on a crop which has an unlimited home
market? The provisions of the Mckinley bill
which aimed to do this were ruthlessly re

A WORD TO FARMERS.

However important farmers may deem
the money question, it is very evident
that they should be more deeply inter-
ested in the question of good markets for
their produce. 1t is no fault of the farm
ers of the United States that the bread
stuffs acreage OF the other grain countries
has been multiplied in recent years. 1t is
not their fault that their competitors in
the grain-consumrtion markets of Europe
till their fields with labor that cost not
more than So month for wages and
board. 1t Is not their fault that such con-
ditions have been forced upon them, but
the consequence of such competition need
not continue if they will assert their inde-
pendence of the food-buyers of Europe.
The time was when the old country af-
forded the American farmer a most profit
able market, but that was when this
country was Europe's chief source of food
supplies. No such necessity for the
product of our fields exists in Europe to-
day. To-day the wheat-grower in Cali
fornia finds that prices for his grain in
Liverpool are fixed by the cheaper produc-
ton of Argentina and Russia, and he must
sell at that price or not sell at all. Russia,
South America and Australia can now be
relied upon by Europe for not less than
$50 600, 900 bushels OF wheat annually, and
very much more when the crop islareer.
All this wheat comes in direct compe-
tition with the American farmer, and as
the cost of production under pauper-
labor system is so much less than under
the high-wage schedule of this country it
follows that our farmers are at great Gis-
advantage.
But there is a remedy for these ills. We
must give capital the needed protection to
establish industrial plants all over this
country. When plants are established
there will come armies of skilled and un-
skilled working people to operate them,
which will build up communi tiles of con-
sumers of farm products. That is all that
is needed to give our farmers home de-
mand equal to their marketable surplus.
There is no reason why single American
farmer shonld have to go to the expense of
shipping his grain and provisions to for
eign lands, but if the farmer would have a
market right at his door he must aid and
abet the proposition to protect labor and
capital that they may be able to establish
and maintain a market for him. There
must be reciprocal relations existing be-
tween the farmer and those who would
provide home consumers of his produce.
So the whole matter resolves itself into
this: If farmers will help 10 give labor
and capital protection against foreign in
dustrial plants and cheap labor American
labor and capital will make good markets
for American farmers at their own home.
The proposition is simple one, and is
easily undertaken.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-09
THE BEET.SUGAR INDUSTRY.
San Diego Union.


The beet-sugar industry, in which California
is so specially interested, is one that might
under protective policy afford almost bound
less possibilities. AS matters are to-day very
large proportion of the sugar consumed in the
United States is imported. But with proper
encouragement-such as European countries,
especially Germany and Austria, give to their
sugar-makers-the United States should not
only supply its home market, but should be D
large exporter of this commodity. Mexico,
Tor example, should be good customer. Beet
sugar is now shipped from France and Ger
many to New Orleans and sold on board the
steamers to merchants in Matamoras, Mexico,
at 81 cents per pound, the freight from New
Orleans together with ali duties bringing the
price up to AZ cents per pound.
OF course the fact that the sugar can pay
Tor so long haul and can undersell the prod
uct OF American refineries, is due to the
direct aid given to the sugar-makers in the
country where 1t is produced. Under these
circumstances the enormous disadvantage at
Whlch TINS country is placed is apparent. The
Unlted States is excluded from trade with its
nextdoor neighbor, and, what is worse, is
MADE dependent upon Europe for commodity
that can be produced here in practically un.
limited quantities. To California this subject
IS OF peculiar interest The beet-sugar indus
