many cooperative factories, owned by the
farmers themselves, exist and it is probable
that the same plan will be tried extensively
in this country.
Taking an average OF twelve tons of
beets TO the acre, producing a ton and
half of raw sugar, it would require, de-
ducting the present output of cane sugar
in this country a million acres or more
planted in beets to produce the sugar now
required in this country. This, at an aver
age OF $50 per acre, would mean upwards
of $50,0O000O a year paid out to the farmers
of the country, and as much more paid out
in the shape of wages, supplies and the
like
Inasmuch as the factory run does not be-
gin until the beet crop has been harvested,
many farm laborers would find employment
through the three or four succeeding monthi
at remunerative wages. where they are nov
driven to many makeshifts to exc out a liv-
Ing, In this way the development of the
beet sugar industry would not alone add inl-
mensely TO the agricultural wealth of the
country and diversity production, but would
provide employment for many hands now
idle.
THE MENACE OF COMPETITION.
That France and Germany well under
stand the menace OF competition in this
country is evidenced by the fact that this
fall Baron Herman of the German legation
personally visited every beet sugar factory
in this country, attentively studying the
possibilities of the industry in the United
States, and will mako his report to his gov
ernment in person. Moreover Germany has
just increased her export bounty and France
Is likely to do the same. 1t is computed
that Europe is shipping to this country eighty
times as much sugar as II did sixteen years
ago. and with an average consumption OF
forty-four pounds per capita annually, the
United States Is far away the best sugar
market in the world. The beet growing
countries OF Europe are putting forth every
endeayor to develop their own Industries to
such a pitch that competition from this
country will for considerable time yet be
impossible 1t Is for these reasons the
sugar growers ask that congress. in endeav-
oring TO enlarge the revenue, will restore the
sugar duties of six years ago.
Incidentally, 1t was apropos of an item in
the tariff of 1921. designed to encourage this
same beet sugar industry, which now, means
hundreds OF millions a year to Europe, and
will soon mean other hundreds of millions
to this country, that the "Godlke Daniel
Webster-seemed TO have a boundless gift
for fatuous prophecy" denounced" the at
tempt to wiring sugar from beets as wilder
absurdlty than Dean Swifts satrical propo-
sition to extract sugar from cucumbers."

prices, combined with the present duty on
the imported article, that has checked the
construction Of many new factories.
Nevertheless, even in the face of the pre-
vailing depression the beet sugar industry
is a demonstrated success The farmers
have no crop which can compare with 1t in
profit and the factories have demonstrated
that with little better conditions they, too,
will pay handsome dividends. AT the pres
ent time the outlook is that with favorable
legislation, eight or ten new factories will
be in existence in time to mill the crop of
1897. Our own company would erect two or
three new factories, and l know definitely
OF six or seven more that are organized and

COST or IMPORTED SUGAR.
81 am certain that with the proper en-
couragement within ten or fifteen years this
country will not only be producing every
pound OF sugar which II consumes, but Will
become an exporter as we'll. Two years
ago this country paid out $l2j,000000 for
this went to Germany and France for beet
sugar. France and Germany have had fifty
years in which to develop this industry, with
every possible governmental aid, In the
shape OF tariffs and export bountes, and
scientific experimentation, and this is by far
the most important agricultural output OF
these two countries. Ii will readily be seen
that with this half century Of perfected de-
velopment, and the German government pay
ing out an export bounty It Is very difficult
to ger the industry in this country fairly on

ENORMOUS COST OF IMPORTED SUGAR

The present session of congress will be
urged to meet the required increase of reye-
nue. needed to cover the present deficit by
restoring the duty on sugar to something like
where 1t was before the passage of the Nc
Kinley act in 1890. This will rather more
than double the existing rate on imported
sugars, and congress will be further asked
TO make the duty specific rather than ad va
loren. as at present. With raw sugars rul-
ing at about 21a cents per pound the pres
ent duty OF 40 per cent ad vaiorem yields an
average OF about cent a pound of duty.
If the sugar tariff be increased to spe-
cihc duty averaging 2 cents per pound, that
Is ranging from 1ls cents to PA cents, an
Immense expansion is promised for the beet
sugar industry in the United States. The
latter, which has had an experimental ex-
istence in this country for the last six years
or more has now decisiyely passed the ex-
perlmental stage, and at the present time
arrangements have been completed for the
erection of six or eight new factories, while
perhaps as many more are protested. Con-
cernlng the development OF the industry and
the encouragement which II now seeks, Presi-
dent Henry T. oxnard OF the American Beet
Sugar association gave me the following de-
tails
when the Mckinley law repeating the
duties on sugar and providing for bounty
on sugars grown in the United States, there
were two small factories in existence In Cali
fornia, and that was practically all we had
of demonstrabe evidence that the beet
sugar industry in this country could, with a
very little stimulus. become one of our larg-
est and most profitable lines OF agriculture
and manufacture. Under the Mckinley
bounty act five new factories were ostab-
lished while the two already in existence
were enlarged, making seven In all. We
practically had the benefit OF the bounty for
Just one year That is to say, 1t took one
year to get fairly under way, and after the
one good year succeeding We were assured
by democratic success that the bounty would
be repealed as II was There are stll just
seven factories in operation In the country
now. One OF these, that at Eddy, N. NJ. in
the Pecos valley, began operations this year
making up for the small factory at Staun-
ton, Va, which was burned
THE ANNUAL OUTPUT.
''In 1891, the first year OF the operation OF
the bounty, the total output OF beet sugar
for the country was about 5000 tons: for
1892. 10 500 tons; for 1898, $4,000 tons No
definite figures exist for the last two years
but | think Il safe to say that the output
this year Will be between 10000 and Al. 900
tons. Although this Ia a very respectable
beginning, It is nothing more than a begin
ming as you will see from the fact that
Germany's output for the year or beet sugar
