PROTECTION IN ENGLAND

Reports from London indicate
a steady growth of sentiment in
favor of a protective tariff for
England. This demand is based
on the ground that higher duties
are necessary not only to safe
guard domestic industries but to
provide revenue now more sore
ly needed than ever before. 1t will
be recalled that under Republi-
can tariffs for protection in this
country surplus was more com

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY is
DOOMED

The Department OF Agriculture
announces that in 1914 there was
produced in this country 722,O54
tons of refined beet sugar, and it
is a meatte1 of common knOwl-
edge that, owing to war condi-
tons and the fact that sugar does
not go on the free list until next
spring, the acreage for 1918 will
probably be larger than ever be-
fore
And there it will stop. There
is no beet sugar factory in this
State which expects to run next
year, and all which have made
any statement on the subject say
that they will not run because
they cannot.
1t is presumably the same in all
other States, and it is certainly
the case with the cane sugar
growers of Louisiana, whose sug-
ar costs more than beet sugar
But that will not help the con-
sumner in the least. While with
all forms of sugar as they now
are the beet sugar factories can
not run without protection, with
the million tons of domestic sugar
withdrawn the rehners will be
able to get the same old prices
and pocket the profits. For years
the refners' trust, which has been
characterized by the Department
of Justice as having practiced "a
long continued system OF defraud-
ing the Government of unparalleled
ed depravity," has been striving
to put the beet sugar producers
out of business.
AT last, by the aid OF the Pres
indent and Congress, it has done
the trick, and not only has it not
profted the consumer by one cent
but when the war exigency came
these same refiners would sell
only at the most extortionate |
prices, and are endeavoring to do
still.
That which this most villainous
trust has done bfeore it will GER
tainly continue to. do whenever
it is possible.
The one possibility of prevent
ing extortion was in the beet SUI
gar industry.
And that the refining trust, in
collaboration with theoretic

gress, has removed. san Fran
