PROJECTIONS BENEFITS.

advantages Which IL Gives tn the Farm
ers Of the Country.
During the fiscal year just closed,
even at the low prices current. this
country paid out about 500. 900. 900 for
imported sugar. Our exports of wheat
and -four were but trife more. Thus
il takes every pound of the wheat and
-four we export TO pay for the sugar we
import. The total value of all live and
dressed beef, beef products and lard ex-
ported during the past year barely ex-
ceeds the amount we paid for sugar.
Our people have an exalted idea of the
American export trade in cotton, but
the value of all the cotton exported was
only twice as much as the value of the
sugar imported. In spite of the immense
increase in corn exports the past year,
they would have to represent value 2 y
times larger TO pay for the foreign sugar
we buy
Three times our tobacco export would
not counterbalance our sugar imports.
The barley, oats and rye, fruits and
rine, butter and cheese pork and hams
that were exported last year, all put to-
gether. represent in value only two
thirds of the sugar imported. Certainly
il is in the highest degree unwise for a
great agricultural country to continue
such policy.
The United States can readily produce
every pound of sugar it now imports and
thus put in our farmers pockets good
part of the vast sum now paid out for
foreign sugar. Not only that, but with
the development of the country we could
produce our own sugar without materi-
ally restricting our exports of other
produce. provided foreign markets offer
attractive prices for the same. The sugar
beet can be grown over vast section,
and encouragement of this industry is
one form at least in which protection
can directly benefit farmers American
