CHEAPER SUGAR POSSIBLE.
IMPROVED METHODS WOULD GET TWICE AS
MUCH JUICE FROM THE SAME CANE.

IMPROVED METHODS WOULD GET TWICE As
MUCH JUICE FROM THE SAME CANE.
II he is a public benefactor who makes two
blades of grass to grow where there was but one
before. so must be regarded the man who gets
two pounds of sugar from the quantity Of cane
that yields only one. The possibility that
such thing may be done on a very large scale
in Cuba and some of the other islands in the
West Indian archipelago is suggested in letter
to The London Times from a person who is
evidently convcrsant with the industry in ques-
ton. Last season l weighed my canes he
says land as near as could judge it took four
teen or fifteen tons of cane to produce one Of
sugar" But he expresses the belief that with
modern machinery. such as is not to be found
anywhere in the West Indies except in Deme-
rara and Trinidad. two tons Of sugar could be
obtained from the same quantity of cane
Cuba at the present time raises about half OF
the cane sugar of the world. She has been
little nervous over the subsidies granted by Ger
many and France to the beet sugar growers.
But if in the manner here indicated she could
double her output Of cane sugar, she would be
in a position to laugh at European producers.
1t would not follow, If twice much raw
sugar was obtained from the cane, that the
price of refined sugar in the retail market would
be halved. The cost of refining would remain
unchanged, and there would still be the freight
and tariff. A perceptible cheapenng would be
observed, no doubt; but this would not be so
great as to affect the consumer largely. The
chief benefit would be derived by the planter.
The field promises to invite outside investment.
however for it is not clear that without an in
fusion of Yankee enterprise the Cuban will take
advantage of the opportunity here limited at.
Partly because Of governmental conditions
and party because he thought that he had
sort of monopoly the Cuban planter has for
many years allowed things to drift along as
they would. without any attempt to improve his
methods. When a man cannot afford to buy
modern machinery he is likely to think that he
can get along without it. But if he his
next door neighbor securing twice as large a re-
turn as he gets himself from the same labor and
acreage he will be stimulated To inquire why.
And II he lacks money to buy the proper
Chinery he will find a way to borrow it. In fact.
he will be forced by competition into doing
something of that kind to save himself from
utter ruin. great deal Of fertile land in cuba
is yet untitled. If the acreage devoted to cane
be enlarged and new methods Of producing raw
sugar be- adopted the island will soon become
the chief producer of the world.

Gently sent to the President, members
Of the Cabinet, Supreme Court, United
States Senate, commanders of the
army and navy governors of the vari-
GUS States, the following questions I:
I. Are you friend of Christianity
II. Do you believe that Christianity
is the friend Of mankind?
III. Does your belief extend to the
recognition Of the Supreme Being, to
the Divinity of Christ, to the ourpass-
ing potency of Christianity as civil
izing influence?
Hundreds Of replies were received
and all were in the affirmative. Many
of them have the positive ring of the
true metal and many are of hesitat-
ing nature. Some Of the Senators
failed to answer and some of the gov
ernors failed to answer. This failure,
if intentional, can only be taken to
mean that they dare not say no to
any of the questions, and this, more
than anything else, goes to prove what
a force they recognize the Christian
religion to be.
