The Theory of nonntIen.

The report that the French sugar
bounties have resulted in a loss Of four
teen million francs, and that the Min
lister Of Finance has ordered a reduc-
ton Of more than one half in the rate.
is very suggestive one Exactly what
is meant by the statement Of the
amount Of the loss is not quite
clear. We are not advised wheth-
er il means simply a loss Of that
sum 10 the treasury, or whether
there has been an absence Of COM
pensatinE benefits. II would seem.
though. that the bounty must have &C
complished the purpose in view. FOR
otherwise the payments would not have
been so heavy Undoubtedly the pro
ductiOn Of sugar has been stimulated.
A sufficient bounty paid for the pro
duction Of anything will always in
crease its production unless there are
positively insUperable obstacles in the
way. There is never a lack Of people
who stand ready 10 build factories. or
ships, or railways, or to engage in the
work Of raising sugar beets if they are
only paid enough for doing it. When a
particular industry is thus built up. il
is always pointed 20 as "A shining ex-
ample Of the wisdom Of the policy.
when in truth IL merely proves that
ore class Of men has been enriched at
tn expense Of all others.
There is only one case in which a
bounty 10 a particular industry could
ever be justlhed-if IL could be done at
all. 4 community entirely isolated
might be warranted IN encouraging
some particular line Of production of
great and vital importance. which for
some reason has failed 20 make a start
Even in such case. the aid should
only be temporary. for if the product is
really so important, the importance viii
be reflected in the price. which viii be
all the bounty needed. But I'm these
days communities are not isolated.
They are in close touch with each
other. II a certain industry laes. il is
merely because other caIiiugs are more
profitable
All countries are not equally well
adapted for all industries, and people
naturally take up such lines as they
prefer. or which promise the better re-
turns. The bounty system rests upon
the theory that each nation should
produce for itself everything that il
needs. even though in order TO DO il
the profitable industries must be heav-
Hy burdened for the support Of those
which are Improbable. In private life
