A Minneapolis paper says that the

beets are ready for the grinding the
factory will be ready Also Then. we
are told, it will turn out $4,000 pounds
of refined sugar daily. We wish we
could hail the opening of this new in
dustry with unalloyed pleasure. We
wish we could see in it only an evidence
of American spirit, enterprise, pluck
and independence. But the faint of
jobbery robs the venture of all this and
makes it only another of the numerous
schemes to bleed the peoples treasury.
The $4,000 pounds of daily output means
only a draft on the state treasury of
$3.50 daily, the equivalent of the bounty
of one cent a pound to be given for
every pound of sugar refined from beets
in this state.
As the cost of refining sugar from
the raw. as stated by Havemeyer, is
less than half osnt pound, and as
