Prior to 1872 the worlds produc-
tion of beet sugar had never reached
100000 tons; in the present year Il
is, according to latest estimates, 5,51c,-
900 tons. while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1912 was 1,599,o0 tons, is in
the present year 2,904.00 tons. Thus
cane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
sideration, while that from beets has
more than quintupled. Meantime the
price has fallen more than one-half,
the average cost in foreign countries of
all sugar imported into the United
States in the fiscal year 1872 being 2.37
cents per pound, and in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound. No instance of the worlds
production of foodstuffs has been more
rapid or striking than that with refer
ence to beet sugar. In 1S54-5 the total
beet-sugar crop of the world was but
1872 900 tons; in 1SS4-5 it was 2,545, 900
tons; in 1S94-5, 4,792,793 tons, and in
1S9s-19OO, 100000 tons. In 1S5i-5
beet sugar formed 13 per cent of the
worlds total sugar crop, and in 1899
1900 it formed &C per cent. Thus the
sugar-producing area of the world has
in less than half-century been shifted
from the tropics northward, and the
farmer of the temperate zone, through
the aid of science in the remarkable
Improvement of a plant, has success
fully competed with the low-priced
labor of the tropics and has also re-
duced by one-half the cost of the ar
ticle produced.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.


National platforms are the recognized
standards of party faith, and between
national conventions no man or body
of men have the authority to announce
| positively any changes in the creed as
set up in the preceding platform. But
good many things happen between
national campaigns, and parties are
| judged not only by their utterances ev-
cry four years, but by what their Off
cial representatives say and do in the
meantime. In general way, the
present administration is the represent
ative of the Republican party, and
that party is committed to the meas
ures which it adopts and upholds and
defends its acts. In the same way,
the Democratic members of Congress
are representative of the Democratic
party, and the policy which they adopt
ty endorsement.
For this reason, the decision of the
Democratic caucus of United States
senators, held two weeks ago, is in
measure binding upon their party, and
is certainly indicative of the general
policy of that party; and therefore is
worthy of particular attention. No
formal vote was taken at this caucus,
but there was n general agreement
among the senators present as to the
line of action which should be pursued
in regard to measures now before the
Congress.
Briefly stated, the policy agreed upon
is as follows: to recognize the acquire
ment by the United States of Puerto
Rico and Hawaii as accomplished
facts; to insist upon as speedy a re-
tirement as possible from Cuba; and
TO insist upon giving up the Philippines
as soon as the insurrection is over. To
quell the insurrection, the Democratic
senators advocate n proclamation that
the United States will retire from those
islands as soon as the rebels lay down
their arms, will allow the natives to
form such Il government as seem best
to them, and will guarantee that they
shall not be interfered with by any
foreign power. In a general way, it
was decided to oppose anything and
everything the administration proposes
in reference to the Philippines.
This is a return to the old Democrat
ic principle-oppositlon to everything
Republican. II is an easy principle
to apply, when the party is not in pow
er, and the Democracy had lang ex-
perience in applying ii, from 1861 to
1885. That the government cannot be
run on such principles was demon
strated when the Democrats came
into power, especially from 1898 to
1897, when they had the President and
a majority of both houses of the Con
gress. Now that the Senate is unal-
to come, the old principle is easy to
carry out again, and there is an evil
dent disposition in the party, as repre-
sented in Congress, to return TO the
old ways.
AS brake on the wheels of progress
as deterrent from going too far and
too fast-the Democratic party is not
without usefulness; but the indispen-
sable condition of such usefulness for
such party is that 1t shall be in the
minority. II it gets n majority, it
does not know what to do; when it is
confronted with the necessity of pos
tulating positive policy, it is utterly
at sea.
