BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Probability of Splendid Results

Chicago Times- Herald.

Chicago Times Herald.
The forecast OF the sugar schedule 10 be
reported IN the new tsrin Oil naturally
attracts public attention TO the remark
able growth of the beet sugar industry In
this country and It's possibilities under the
favorable legislation proposed. In consid-
ering the policy OF the government with
reference TO the sugar Industry IL must
DO kept in mind that this country does not
export sugar TO any great extent, being
able to supply only small percentage OF
domestic consumption. During the fiscal
year or 1894 the United States imported
8. S34 s43. 605 pounds of cane sugar. valued
Sill. 07s $40. and $40, 1913, 04l pounds OF beet
sugar, valued at SIS. 7S3. oil. AS the con-
tinental governments have nearly all re-
sorted TO the bounty system OF developing
the beet sugar Industry. but are nearly
all heavy exporters OF sugar 1t follows
that. different economic question is pre-
sented In this country. and one that must
be regarded from a different standpoint
The sugar planters in the British colonies
which are compelled to compete with the
bounty-covered product of the continent
al countries are already clamoring for a
tariff on beet sugar entering the United
Kingdom equal to the bounty paid on 1t
In the land OF production.
The production which Is demanded by
the sugar planters OF the British colonies
against the product OF countries that pay
bounties presents a problem which has its
parallel in this country. and has been
promptly met by the ways and means
committee. Although the new tariff may
cause a trihing advance IN the price OF
sugar to the consumer. II will doubtless
give marked impetus to the beet sugar
industry In this country. which may be
said 70 be in Its experimental stages. So
far the state OF California has outranked
all other states In the susceptibility or its
soil 10 beet sugar cultivation. but IL is
believed that under the stimulus Of ade-
auate protection the industry can be estab-
lished with profit in other states. The
total production OF beet sugar in Caiifor-
MIA for the three years 1892 1898 and 1894
was e5,o65.e59 pounds. In Nebraska the
production for the same period was H.
4S6. 200 pounds.
In all future legislation affecting the
sugar Industry congress should keep
steadily IN view the possibility OF such
development of beet sugar as to result
IN the production Of all the raw material
needed for sugar manufacture in the
United States.

ENGLISH CHINESE.

II win be well for this country to sb-
serve with watchful eyes the action of
the Canadian authorities in admitting Chi
nese TO British naturalization Ii Is re-
ported that large numbers are being sworn
to allegiance to the British crown. This
does not concern US now but there Is a
possibility Of complications should these
anglicized Cinnamon attempt TO take up
their residence In the United States. rely

They could not claim any rights as
voters or evade any OF the laws OF a state
against the ownership Of land by aliens,
but there might be a question as 10 their
immunity from the operation OF the Chi
nese exclusion laws Of the nation. n very
interesting question would arise IL one
OF these naturalized Brtons should seek
to become citizen Of this country by the
process of relinquishing his naturalization
rights In order TO assume the obligations
OF American citizenship. This Is a very
extreme view. and England could not well
interfere IL the United States should adopt
laws to avoid Chinese obtaining by In
direction privileges they are denied by
direct application.
much more probable consequence
would be an invasion OF our territory by
these pseudo Englishmen, who might
come IN by right o, their newly adopted
nationality and so evade laws which are
framed only against the subjects OF the
Chinese empire.

REAL DISTRESS.

The awful scenes described as forming
a picture OF thousands OF square miles
OF India have had no parallel In this
country. We have no conception of such
suffering. In the neighborhood OF the
Mississippi FOR a feH days there will be a
scarcity OF food due to the sudden cutting
OF of supplies. and occasionally in our
larger cities an oyer-sensitlye man dies
OF starvation, but our hard times have
produced no such suffering as that OF In
dia now. or that Of parts OF China few
years ago. nor have all the blunders OF
mlsgoyernment afforded US any idea OF
the normal condition OF millions OF people
OF civilized Europe. 10 say nothing OF the
conditions under which the Christians OF
Turkey drag out their miserable exist
ence.
Millions OF people are starving In India.

while others not yet reduced to the in

With all our hard times. extending now
over two or three years. the whole OF the
United States does not count as many
deaths from starvation as one month In
the city OF London. Indeed. the distress
which has hefallen Us Is not the depriva-
ton OF food. but distress OF the mind.
Men VINO had provided for old age find
themselves stripped OF their property.

investment. and partly by losses through

The suffering Is, IN one sense. as great
TO those who have been compelled TO
abandon all hope OF saving their property
or enjoying the immunity from care their
Industry promised but Il IS not OF the
kind which aHiiets India. or even Of the
kind which Is the lot OF thousands in the
densely populated cities Of Europe.
1t may AFFORD very little satisfaction 10
those who repine over the decrease in
wealth or or comfort 20 contemplate the
terrible sufferings OF the people OF India
but Il Is proof that things might be much
worse than they are. IL Is at least an
incentive 20 bear up with tortitude against
