susar-cane and Beet

Beet sugar is crowding cano sugar
out of the market. What was re-
garded few years ago as an auxi-
liary branch of the sugar growing
industry is now the principal The
countries in which the production
OF cane sugar would be impossible
now lead in the worlds production
of sugar, Last year there were pro-
duced, according to the Russian
estimate, 100000 tons OF beet su-
gar, against 2,665N00 tons of cane
sugar. The worlds supply for 1896
exceeds that of 1885. The deficit in
the product in Cuba is more than
made up by the increase elsewhere.
The United States does not yet
seem alive to the Importance OF the
beet-sugar crop. We go on year
after year importing sugar to the
value of nearly Sl0,000,000 a year,
while grain is sold in the markets OF
the world at less than the cost of
production. Wheat we have to
export and take the price set by the
cheap labor of India and Russia,
while our own market for sugar,
which is entirely under our control,
is supplied mainly from Europe. 1t
is to be hoped that the next Cong
ress will give the American sugar
producer at least the measure OF pro-
lection other industries enjoy. S. T..
