"tivation Of sugar cane. The answer is given
in the new Company's prospectus, and runs
thus :-"Sugar-growing in the West Indies
is so hampered by the enormOus bounties on
beet sugar paid by Continental Govern
ments, which largely exclude West Indian
produce from the ONLY markets not closed to
them by protective tariffs, that a large
expansion of the crops in that part of the
world is most improbable. The very causes,
however, which hinder sugar production in
the West Indies serve TO make it an exceed
ingly profitable industry in the United States,
aud the increased duty recently imposed will
still further tend to foster it; whilst The
fact that The entire production of sugar in
the United States from all sources is only
about an eighth of the amount actually
consumed in that country shows how great
is the opening for additional actories."
The force of this object lesson is increased
by the fact that the Chairman Of he COmpa-
ny, and possibly he chief promoter of it, is a
gentleman who has been long associated
with the cane sugar industry of this Colony,
and who has spent more money in lis efforts
to ascertain by practical experiment the
merits Of inventions for the improvement Of
the sugar factory, than any other c%olonist
we are abiding to Mr.. Quintin Hogg. He
still retains connection with our sugar indus
try, but it is plainly to be seen that unless
relief is obtained from the sitting effects of
the bounty system, his further connection
with it will be Of limited duration, And ii
will be so with the other proprietors, no
matter how sincerely they may wish to carry
on their estates rather than see the Colony
abandoned. AS long as the sugar industry
in the States is protected, a well conducted
factory, such 81 the Kenilworth promises TO
be, is likely to pay; but o similar factory on
West Indian soil, the fertility Of which,
Accord; G to the reliable American authority
quoted above, is double that Of the best land
in Louisiana, would not require 'lroteotion"
to secure Il profitable return on the capital
invested il it. The new departure brings
into prominent notice the helpless position
in which the West India sugar Colonies are
placed through the violation of free trade
principles by q free-trade country,-the
country to which they belong. With bound
less acres of land suited better for sugar
cane than for any other tropical product,
lying idle in Brit Sh Colonies, British sub
iects are subscribing money to establish q
factory in q foreign country, where the
sugar cane gives a poor return. and the
cultivation is liable to be blighted by frost.
Thoughtful Statesmen, even if they are not
friendly disposed to West Indian interests,
should perceive in this very significant
obioct lesson on the working Of the bounty
eystem, q duty-ca to them to do their utmost
TO get the system abolished, tie neglect of
which must lead to the distress # hundreds
Of thousands of British subjec's, and the de-
s~truction Of old and important Colonies.
