Few agricultural industries have wit
messed a more complete revolution in
conditions during the last half century
than the production OF sugar. In 1910.
according 10 official figures. only 4s5
per cent of the worlds sugar supply
was produced from the sugar beet, and
the total amount was but 10000 tons.
Today the aggregate product has risen
TO 5,575. 900 tons, being SO per cent. Of
the entire yield. There are several rea-
sons for the change, prominent among
which is the policy of paying bounties
upon the production Of beet sugar fol-
lowed by continental countries, But
below all else is the fact OF the higher
efficiency Of free and skilled over slave
liz Dor. The bulk OF the worlds cane
sugar outside Of the United States Is
produced by the lowest grade labor.
Beet sugar is produced In north
e-n countries and by labor OF a higher
order The saving In cost Of transporta-
ton by producing near the field OF de-
niand, the difference between tropical
and temperate latltudes and the infiu-
ence of a policy OF legislative encour-
arenent upon industry are all seen In
the statistics OF this stupendous change.

Good Times for the Farmer.

The review of agricultural conditions,
taken from the American Agriculturist,
a portion of which was published re-
Gently, tells the story OF steady i'm
provement for three years or more. 1t
shows that the farmers have shared
in the general prosperity that has been
enjoyed by the country at large. and
presents a cheering contrast 20 the
troubled times which followed the finan-
cial calamities OF 1898 Then there were
a tight. money market, poor markets,
growing debts. mortgage foreclosures
and widespread distress. Now money IL
easy and at as low rate as has ever
been known, there Ia a good market
for the products OF the farm: small
debts have been paid and mortgages
taken up: and today the man who talks
the least about hard times is the farmer.
The determination OF the American
people to maintain sound ana honest
currency has been followed by the pros
perity which was predicted by those
who fought the financial heresy ~ 1896.
Triumph over the dishonest dollar

Mr.. Brewster, who was chairman and
POSTMASTER o. the recent Bryan dollar
dinner In New York. has announced
that he cannot support Mr.. BRYAN for
the presidency this year. His reason
for this lack OF loyalty is that he has
been converted to the doctrines Of So
ciallsm. and ne intlma'cs that Hi. F3ry
an can have his allegiance again only
when he believes and speaks as Debs
does This loss of Bryan champion
should not occasion surprise. II fol-
lows the adoption of the Chicago plat
form as logical consequence. The
principles there enunciated lead to doc
trines such as Brewster has espoused.
And when Mr. Bryan shall have been
defeated next November and another
four years shall have rolled around, he
will probably be found an earnest be-
lever In the stuff which Brewster says
will bring the world 20 his feet" That
will be his only recourse, for having
been twice rejected by the people as a
Democrat. ne must stand as the leader
OF some other party. The organization
at the head OF which is Eugene V. Debs
Is the one toward which William J. Bry-
an has for four years been steadily

Measure Of Delayed Justice.

The bill which Mr.. Jones has been au-
house committee on public lands. for
the repayment to settlers within the
limits of forfeited railroad land grants
of the excess price which they paid for
their lands on final proof, is one which
not only ought to encounter no opposi-
ton, but should secure the active sup
port OF every member Of congress who
believes in honest. fair dealing upon the
part of the government
The original grants OF land 60 the
government-aided railroads were made
largely at the. expense OF the settlers
in the country through which the rail
road was expected to pass While gov
eminent land outside Of the limits OF a
land grant was paid for by the pre-emp-
tor. or the purchase Of offered lands. at
the rate of'sia5 an acre. within the linn
Its OF such grant the price was Just
double. or $3.50 an acre. This was bad
enough where the railroads were actu-
ally constructed. In great number
OF cases. however. no railroads were
constructed. or the route wes so chang
ed that lands which fell within the lin
its at the time of the entry. and for
which the entryman was consequently
compelled 10 pay the government an ad-
ditional 5000 for each quarter section,
subsequently fell outside Of the railroad
limits. and consequently remote from
the transportation line.
Certainly. common honesty and fair
dealing require that the money which
was thus taken from these settlers un-
der false pretenses should be refunded
A large number Of people In this state
will receive a portion Of justice IL the
