similarity, but of Identity Chemists
the world oyer are, agreed as to the
identity Of cane and beet sugar, and all
statements Of difference in properties
of inferiority or superiority in these su-
gars7ITare made either in ignorance or
deception.
"The suspicion was aroused by the
sugar trust that beet sugar was inferior
to cane sugar. and this suspicion has
been carefully nourished by the sugar
trust, and the statement has been so
often repeated that many folks have
: believed it. What are the facts? For
the last three years the people of the
northern states have used beet sugar
almost exclusively. Look Mt the
worlds sugar production in 1898 We
were at war with Spain, and little su-
gar was produced in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and less still was exported. Mono
was obtained from the Philippine
Islands; the sugar from the Sandwich
islands was required for our people on
the Pacific coast; Louisiana could not
make enough sugar to supply herself
and the Gulf states. Where could wre
get enough sugar to supply the millions
of tons required for the worlds con-
sumption II We depended on sugar
from the cane alone? The supply of
sugar from sugar cane has been insult
ficient to fill and replenish the worlds
sugar bowl, and for three years past
we have been In large measure cut
of from that source If it had not been
for the beet sugar of Europe the world
would have gone hungry. Beet sugar
at this time furnishes two-thirds of tho
worlds supply. The supply of refined
sugar for our own use for three years
past has consisted largely of beet su-
gar from Germany and France.
why such deception? Because the
American manufacturers have brought
the process to such perfection that they
turn out from their factories refined
sugar. and nothing but refined sugar,
requiring no MD from the sugar refln-
ers Of New York. II this superior pro-
cess comes into general use 'Othello's
