AMERICAN CHAMPAGNE.
Hammondspot, N. Y, Produces
Most of 1t.

Hammondsport Lake Keuka N. Y. June IL
This place is often called the centre of the
champagne district of America. Starting on
small scale about fifty years ago, the wine in
dustry here has steadily Increased until the
sixty miles or SO of the shore line of beautiful
Lake Keuka is becoming a continuous vine
yard One finds here the immense establish
ments of some of the best champagne makers OF
the country.
Hammondsport doubt owes its distinction
in the champagne trade of America in great
part to the persistent and intelligent efforts of
skilled grape growers and wine makers, but IL
is also due to the peculiar quality of the SOIL
and to the climate. The soil is loose, thin and
strong, and naturally poor that even beans
would be discouraged from growing in it. But
sheltered by the hills from cold Winds and IN
climate tempered by the deep waters OF the lake
the vine fourishes. Its roots, striking deep IN
the crevices of tie rock, defy drouths, ano
warmed by the heat absorbed by the stones
it produces moderate quantity of grapes OF
superior quality.
The scenery about Lake Keuka is picturesque
The lake is twenty-five miles long and is dl-
vided about midway by long. bold promontory
From several easily accessible vantage points
broad and inspiring views of the landscape may
be obtained, and this is especially attractive
when miles of rows of grapevine are in full
foliage, the vineyards enlivened by the grape
gatherer the roads dotted with great loads of
grapes on the way TO cellar or market, and the
atmosphere laden with the exquisite Odor of the
grape. 1t is a sight worth going many miles
TO
In strong contrast with the several thousand
tons of grapes now grown in the Lake keuka
section annually, Of which a portion is shipped
to market and the rest manufactured into Wine
Ia chi Of frO0 HaD1D1oDdS-
port. one is told that in 1917 ambitious
grower shipped fifty pounds of Isabella grapes
20 New-York and the market responding favor
ably the next year he sent two hundred
rounds. This large shipment glutted the mar
ket and discouraged the shipper from sending
any more for several years.
In gathering the grapes great care is taken
The clusters, held by tie stem, are carefully cut
from the vine with shears and put into picking
Ioxes holding thirty forty pounds which
when full carried to the end of the and
loaded for carriage to the packing house
wine cellar. This care about picking is to avoid
disturbing the bloom. which contains a germ
that aids the fermentation of the wine. AT the
packing house or at the cellar the fruit is
fully inspected, and even in a ton of grapes, if
a single imperfect unsound one is found. it
is promptly thrown out.
While the champagne from the Lake Keuka
district has been proved by the most rigid tests
and comparisons to be very much superior to
much that comes from over the water. the thorn
in the flesh of American producers is to dispel
the public prejudice against domestic produc-
tions and to have consumers pass upon the
uuality of good American champagne its

merits. Another cause Of complaint is the dam
age done to the reputation of properly made
champagne, fermented in the bottle, by wine
companies that produce a carbonated article
and fost 1t upon the public as champagne. AS
is generally known. the process OF fermenting
wine in the bottle requires from three to five
years, while carbonated champagne" is pro-
duced by simply charging new wine with car
bonic acid gas. involving no expense of waiting
New-York tribune., 1903-06-28

Then they say, Well, this was American cham
pagne and 1 do not want to have anything to
do with it They have got from their grocer
something in the way of an article called Amerf-
can champagne sold at less than 80 cents
half pint They have taken it home and tried
it and have been disgusted with It, and when
any one wants them to taste real American
champagne they say, oh. WELL we have tasted
that sort OF thing and we don't want to have
anything more to do with it They will not be
talked out of the prejudice derived In that way"
Gould you produce and sell at retail, at that
price, bottle of that wine If 1t was a genuine
article?"
I'VE could not, Of course: 1t would be i'm

to label wines for what they arc. We are per

The zlagnates Of the American Sugar
Trust pretend that this constitutes
grave danger. and that IL is the
duty Of Congress 10 pass Legislation
providing for an extension of the
system Of countervailing duties.
They devoutly believe in the neces-
sity and benefits Of countervailing
duties. ever since the United States
Supreme Court upheld the right Of
the Government to levy such duties
on Russian sugar. TheSugar Trust
has presented its demand at the
proper psychological moment; that
is, just when the republican party
is lin the market" -for ..dignified"
campaign contributions. tits a poor
Trust that does not know its politi-
cal opportunity. Considering the
fact that the Iowa idea" is as ex-
ceedingly unpopular. and protection
along orthodox lines still thesupreme
fetish in high republican circles, il
is not at all improbable that the
sugar monopoly's request that some
thing be done in a Legislative way TO
protect il against European compe-
tition viii readily be complied with.
AS one of our most promising I'm
FAINT industries" the Sugar Trust
must be given all the protection that
it needs, or thinks il needs. It's
capitalization Is diluted with such q
big amount OF water that q continu-
ance Of fat dividends on preferred
and common shares would be made
impossible by unrestrained compe.
tition. The Trusts grip upon the
domestic sugar market must not be
loosened. Consumers are prosper.
Gus and do not mind a little more
bleeding" And the Trust needs
the money. and the republican party
needs it still more. The Havemeyer
idea of tariff revision should be and
probably will be given rousing re.
ceptiOn by the republican majority
in Congress. It is up-to-date and
practicable. The men who conceiv.
ed it are neither "cranks nor doc
trinaires." They are just common,
everyday thieves and that class il
just now in fine fettle and stand high
in republican circles. Tell with

Soon the political campaign viii
be opened in st. Mary's. Up TO
date there has been little discussion
of candidates, but as the primaries
draw near discussion viii begin and
voters will commence canvassinR
for their favorites. Every man has
q right to seek nomination OF his
party and IL is right and proper
that his friends should urge his
claims to recognition. The coz
tests, however, should always be
conducted upon a fair and honor
able plane. The candidate who
seeks success by defaming and
abusing his opponent thereby makes
open confession Of his own weak
ness, for he tries to win not by his
own merits, but through the alleged
dement's Of his opponent We hope
that in the campaign about TO be-
gin Democrats will select their tick
ct without bitter contests and viii
choose their candidates with 70
ference to their qualifications foi
the positions sought, and 70 their
strength before the people. With
q ticket that will bring to its sup
port united and enthusiastic party
success will be assured. AL
elements should be recognized in
making up the ticket. The Older
men, who have borne the burden and
brunt Of past fights, must not bt
overlooked, and the young men who
are 10 fight the coming battle an6
the battles Of the future should bt
literally recognized. Let as put
up a fighting ticket and ticket fol
which the united party will fight

Still speaking of the Missouri
delegation in the Congress of the
United States. it will not do to ig-
more the Hon. Maecenas 4. Benton,
of Neosho, 1.-THE little giant of the
Southwest. Mr.. Benton belongs
10 the family OF Bentons of Missouri,
OF which ThOmos III. Benton was the
most distinguished. If he were
alive o-day he would be proud OF
the modest little gentleman who
bears his name with honor and dig
nifty in the national House of Re-
representatives.. Mr.. Benton is o very
poor windiammer or hot-air mer-
chant. He seldom gets to his feet,
but when he does there is some re-
publican who wishes he had kept his
seat. He comes about as nigh know
ing what he is talking about as any
man in the Congress, and is one OF
the ablest orators in that body. He
has had very little opportunity to
indulge in pyrotechnic oratory in
the House, and indeed he does not
care TO do SO. He knows, as does
every one else familiar with the
situation, that he is going against
the coolest proposition in the world !;
that he cannot change vote on the
republican side of the chamber and
that the democrats who would vote
with him any way are either in the
cloak rooms telling yarns or else
writing letters and will not pay any
attention to his remarks. II that is
not enough to put a crimp in any
man with oratory to unload, what
would you call it2 Mr.. Benton did,
however, submit few remarks to-
ward the close OF the first session of
the 57th Congress that both sides
Of the House listened to with close
attention. He is q member OF the
Appropriations Committee and he
submitted report of the expendi-
lures Of the first session of the re-
publican Congress that made some
republican eyes become unnaturally
visible. His summary or compila-
ton Of the extravaganza Of that first
session proved that the republi-
cans not only were responsible for
the first billion dollar Congress, but
then for the first billion dollar ses-
sion of q congress, as the appropria-
tions aggregated over a billion dol
lars. Mr.. Benton was compliment
ted by having thousands of his re-
ports printed and sent out by the
Democratic Congressional Commit
tee as one of its best campaign doc
uments.
Mr.. Benton is the first man who
ever was discharged from Office for
"pernicious activity" in politics.
This occurred n 1886 when he was
United States Attorney in Western
Missouri under the first Cleveland
administration. He was soon rein
stated and served in that capacity
until 1899. There never was q bet.
