DECEMBER -. 1914.
WAR AND THE SUGAR EXPORTS.

Wars drain on the worlds sugar supply is
yfvidly shown in the latest reports from the
department of commerce. \ bulletin issued
on December IA says that nearly quarter bl-
lion pounds of domestic refined sugar have been
exported from continental United States dur
ing the three months ending October 81, 1914,
or more than 100 million in excess of the en-
fire exports in 1910, the high-recOrd year OF
the last quarter century. Sugar exports IN
August amounted to 1886 800 pounds; in Sep
ternber. s., 900, 773; and in October 138,31268
total for the three months OF 229,6l9,I64
hounds against A million in the fiscal year
1913. 125 million in 1910, and 10 million IN
1903. During the fiscal years 1913 and 1914
practically all the exports of sugar were refined
from imported raw sugar and received draw
back equal to the duties paid on the raw sugar,
less one per cent.
The unusually large exports of sugar IN re-
cent months lend interest to a compilation re-
garding sugar consumption in the United
States made by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce and published in the 'Sta-
fistical Record of the Progress of the United
States. 1900 1914" recently issued, 1n25 years
the sugar consumption of the country has al
most trebled and has increased from 5O.44
pounds per capita in 1889 to $3.50 pounds IN
1914. In that period Cuba has increased It's
contributions to the domestic market from 1872
million to 1927 million pounds; and the non
Contiguous territories of Hawaii, the Philip
pines. and Porto Rico have increased their ship
ments of sugar into continental United States
from 511 million to 1873 million pounds; while
Europe. the Dutch East IndiesNaald ether for
eign countries have increased their sales to
this country from 1919 million pounds OF sugar
IN 1889 to 23l4 million in 1914. Meanwhile
the domestic product has grown from ~ mil
lion pounds in 1889 to 81 million pounds IN the
wear ended June 30, 1914, with further growth
Is $50 million pounds in the three months
ended with October
The advance of the last few days in the price
Of sugar should be followed by other rises. No
such sensational jump can be expected as oe-
Cured after the outbreak of the war, when
Great Britain won't into the market to buy SIX
months supply But Britain will soon be
needing more sugar. The war shows no signs
Of coming to close and Britain's supply
bought three months ago will be used up by
NAV. Before that English buyers will IN
donbtedly be in the market A strong rising
trend of prices is reasonable

GERMANY'S SIDE.

The only nation that is absolutely united to
its government is Germany. She knows, and
it will be apparent to any thoughtful reader
that all the nations around her want some
thing of her - and have an interest in the
struggle, and are willing to fight under all
circumstances. Russia wants COnstantinople
and the weakening of the Austrian mon
archy. England demands the reduction of Ger
many to subordinate power; France, the re-
establishment of her former dominating rule
of Europe. Surely, no one would consider Ger
many so insane and absolutely bereft of com
mon sense that she should have desired and
permitted all these nations in whose way she
has been to fall on her, thereby catering for her
own destruction! Will it be believed that ma
ton which has been constantly striving for
peace, the only one of all European nations
that has not had war for forty four years, has
never expanded except peacefully, never ac-
quired territory except by treaty, knowing that
combination of mucb>stronger powers threat
ened her from all sides, would 60 wilfuly and

and then paying another to defend

In the literature of the people OF
the New South one OF the distinctly
cherished classics is Henry w
Grady's famous prose poem on cotton
II was written in 18S2-just as the
South was coming into new indus

and Is treasured in every scrapbooh

mirers OF the editor-orato 1t is rank,
