What the American Voter Knows.

What the American Voter Knows.
The average American voter Is now
firmly convinced of certain truths. He
knows that n high protective tariff has
never benefited the people. 1t has en-
riched privileged clique instead attic
expense of the people. He knows that
this same tariff created the trusts by
creating opportunities to establish COM
plcte monopolies in American trade
and industries. He knows that the re-
moval of high tariff will at the same
time eliminate the trust evil. He has
made up his mind to vote against the
party that stands for the high tariff
and the trusts and he will rightly re-
gard such vote as an act Of self-de-
fense.-St. Louis Re~ublic.

Consumption in America.
If the United States produces but
small portion of the total, it and its
new dependencies, the Philippines, Ha-
wall and Porto Rico, together produce
about one-fourth of the total worlds
product, and with the vast product of
the West Indies at our doors and now
virtually at our command, we can con-
troll two-thirds of the worlds produc-
ton.
Europe produces the greater part of
the beet sugar manufactured, Germany
being credited with about one-third of
the worlds tota'. OF late years, how
ever, the Western States of America
have been giving considerable atten-
ton to the subject, and large refineries
have been erected, and thousands Of
acres have been devoted to beet cul-
ture. California leads in this indus
try, producing about 45,O00,Oe0 pounds
of beet sugar annually.
Nebraska follows with 100000, and
Utah is third with 100000. In no
other State is beet sugar produced in
commercial quantities.. All the sugar
beet seed planted in this country is i'm
ported from France and Germany,
where the sugar beet has been bred
up by careful selection. California
produces the best native sugar beet,
but that is inferior to the European
beet. Sugar bcets bring about 81 n
ton ut the factories, and at that price
the farmer realizes fair profit OH his
crop. The average yield per acre is
fifteen tons, and the cost is roughly
estimated ut $50 an acre.
1t is asserted by those who ought to
know that an experienced man can
handle ten acres of beets without extra
help, except at time of thinning and
first hoeing, with very little special
machinery and without Interfering
with other crops. At an average yield
of twelve and one-lalf tons per acre
this small crop should bring in $500
cash.
The United States annually imports
over 3,1OO,O00,000 pounds of cane
sugar, valued at over $60,S17OOO, and
Cos, 100000 pounds of beet sugar valued
Mt S1404S,914. The exports are about
100000 pounds of refined sugar,
valued Mt S460,0o0,000.
1t is estimated that the sugar refiner-
les of the United States give employ
ment to 10000 men. An immense
amount OF capital is invested in the
business, and the commercial aspects
of the industry in the importation of
raw and refined sugar, and expectation
of the refined product represents vast
capital and enormous shipping facili-
ties.
A modern refining plant, including
the refinery proper. the barrel works
and additional buildings required,
costs fabulous sums. For example,
the Havemcyer refinery in Brooklyn,
familiarly known as the Trust refinery,
covers five acres of land, and covers
twelve stories into the air. 1t employs
q small army of men.

that everybody wants and is opposed
to all the e evil things that nobody

reader the platform appears highly

frying TO Avert Defeat.
The fact has leaked out, probably by
design, that meeting took place at
the White House ON the Invitation Of
President Roosevelt, at which the
question of tariff revision was dis
cussed. Among the persons present
were Senator Hanna, Allison, Plat of
Connecticut, Spooner and Aldrich, and
Representatives Babcock, Hull and
Oyerstreet. No report of the discus
sion was given out, but all accounts
agree in saying that the question under
debate was not whether the Dingley
law needs revision-that was assumed
on all hands--but at what time the
work of revision should be undertaken.
1t was agreed, also, that the revision
should be- in general, a reduction Of
