SAVE TH FARM.
Nebraska Soil Far Richer Than
Mines of Silver.
WEALTH IN THE SUGAKBEET
Xtep-bllcan Legislation Fosters the Stignr
Industry Favors American Sugar
for American Sweetening.
The agricultural and stock-raising in
terests of Nebraska have Buffered seri
ously during recent years. There is lit
tle profit , sometimes none , in either
grain or live stock. This loss of profit
is partially owing to overproduction , tea
a great extent to overcompetition , and
iu a considerable degree to the partial
paralysis of our home market. Nebraska
farmers can recover from these back
sets in time , but the recovery • will be
Blow and will be brought about largely
by the development of latent resources
and the building up of new industries ,
• which will take them out of the mad whirl
of competition in those products which
are already yielding an over supply.
Cheap labor produces a cheap prodnct.
At the present time the Nebraska farm
er , situated long distances from the
markets , is suffering from this compe
tition in wheat and cattle , which in the
past have been his greatest sources of
wealth and profit , as never before , and
the injury to these staples acts sympa
thetically to depress corn and oats , and
sheep and hops. It is therefore becom
ing evident that he must look to greater
diversification for the solution of the
agricultural problem that confronts him.
Bnt what new line of agriculture can
he embark in that offers sufficient en
couragement ?
Development of the iieet Sugar Industry
In Nebraska.
In referring to the beet sugar indus
try of Nebraska i' is not necessary to go
into the history of the sugar beet in this
state. It is sufficient to say that it has
been proven that our soil is adapted to
it , that beet cultivation has been suc
cessfully carried on , and that it is de
veloping into one of the great industries
which promises more than any other
one thing to lighten the burden and im
prove the condition of agriculture in
our state. Under an act of the last leg
islature of the state of Nebraska , the
farmer who raises beets gets a bounty
of $ t per ton frpm the state for beets
that meet the required test. Under the
wise provisions of this act beet growing
has been greatly stimulated , the effect
being that the factories at Grand Island
and Norfolk had more applications for
beet contracts in 1896 than they could
handle. Had there been other factories
in the state , at least double the present
beet acreage .would have been planted
this season. So it will be seen that our
farmers are not waiting now to satisfy
themselves , that beet growing is a good
thing , but that they are waiting for the
establishment of more sugar factories
and refineries.
Nebraska Factories Commence the Season's
Work.
It has been my good fortune to gain
an interview with Mr. Sprecher , pub
lisher of the Norfolk Journal , and to se
cure from him some valuable and inter
esting information which is not only
good reading at all times , but particu
larly pertinent in view of the attitude of
the various political parties and candi
dates in the pending campaign.
Forty-five hundred acres were planted
in sugar beets this season to supply the
Norfolk factory alone. The product of
this acreage is estimated reasonably at
60,000 tons , the beets being worth to the
grower $5 per ton , era grand total of
$300,000. This all goes to the farmer.
The factory , which opened for the
season September 24 , and will be in
operation 2-1 hours a day until March 1 ,
works two shifts of men with 150 in
each shif c. or a total labor roll of 800.
In addition , the clerical force , and one
inspector and two weighers , will add _ 5
men to the rolls. The pay roll for the
entire time will' reach § 5,000 a week , or
$80,000 for the season of five months.
But the $380,000 that wili be paid out
for beets and factory labor is only about
one-half of the expense of producing the
refined sugar. The factory uses 75 tons
of coal each day , costing $3.50 per ton.
Also 50 tons of lime rock each day ,
costing nor. less than $2 per ton. And
in addition 10 tons of coke each day ,
costing about $10 per ton. Then there
are many thousands of yards of jute
filter cloth , 100,000 each of outside and
inside bags for the sugar , and many
other things in the line of chemicals. ,
sulphur , soda , oils and tallow , inci
dental expenses , repairs of machinery ,
insurance and taxes , etc. , which run
the cost of production and maintenance
into the hundreds .of thousands , and
benefits directly many other lines of
business and industry.
In the field and factory it is estimated
that 500 people will be employed on an
average of 12 working months in the
year. It will be borne in mind that
this refers alone to the Norfolk factory ,
hence it will only be necessary to multi
ply all of the above figures by two to ar
rive at the net product and net results
in the state for the season of 1896-97.
Nebraska Product But a Drop In the Na
tional Sugar Bowl.
The product of the Norfolk and Grand
Island factories for the current season !
will be about 20,000,000 pounds. If consumed - j
sumed entirely in the state it would
supply our people about 13 weeks or
three months. Eight factories the size
of the present ones would , therefore , be 1
necessary to supply the local Nebraska '
demand alone. , k j
Imports of sugar by the United States
in 1895 were 1,804,866 tons , or3.609,78 , - I
000 pounds. More than half of this sup
ply came from the beet sugar producing
Bections of Lurope. Yet every pound |
that imters inio the national consump- 1
tiou can-be produced in tljo United
States. If a factory of the capacity of
those ax NcruJk and Grand ls.and was j
* ' " ' * * "I I IH-.I W" ) ' * ! ! # * - ' . MWW. IW - fnlJHIil > f •
*
located in every one of the 90 counties
of Nebraska , and produced each 10.000-
000 pounds each year , they would sup
ply but a small parr of the sweetening
required by tne American people. . In
deed , it. is estimated that along with the
stimulation of the consumption of sugar
attendant upon the development of so
great , an industry , coupled with the
present normal supply , which by reason
of hard times has been comparatively
light , 800 to 900 factories would be re
quired to supply the American demand
aloue , with not a pound for export. It
will , therefore , be seen that the industry
cannot be overdone in this state , because
with 90 factories in Nebraska each of
them would be but about one in ten of the
entire number , and there are probably
not more than 10 states that are per
fectly adapted to the cultivation of the
sugar beet.
The Sugar Beet Enhances the Value of
Our Land.
That which has happened at Norfolk
and Grand Island would be repeated at
other points where factories would be ,
located. Laud values have gone up con
siderably near these two cities. Mr. '
Sprecher states that people are already
looking for land near Norfolk for beet
growing , either to buy or rent , and that
values have been increased considerably
becanse of the profit in the sugar indns- .
try. Lands in the vicinity of Norfolk
rent for $0 and $6 an acre , and the rates
arc advancing.
Local business has been greatly bene
fitted iu these towns , enabling the farm
ers to find a better home market for their
produce and particularly for poultry and
butter and eggs , which are the great-
money-makers of the farm when it is
contiguous to the factory. So there is
a mutual benefit to town and country
which extends far beyond the immediate
range of the industry itself.
A great benefit would also be wrought
indirectly through the development of
the sugar industry in Nebraska. Many
thousands of acres now devoted to the
cultivation of wheat and corn and oats ,
which pay but poorly , would be planted
to the sugar beet. A new line of profit
able industry would not only be opened ,
but a decreased acreage of the cereals
would tend to enhance their price
through the curtailment of nroductiou.
This diversification -would in a brief
time equalize the interests of the farm ,
and through the interdependence of the
farm and factory there would be a
nearly perfect adjustment of the indus
trial equilibrium. The benefit would
accrue to all classes and Nebraska would
become one of the most prosperous states
of the union.
The Sugar Beet in Legislation and in
Politics.
A Republican legislature enacted the
first sugar bounty law in Nebraska. The
Grand Island and Norfolk factories were
made a success as a result of that legis
lation. A populist legislature repealed
the law. Again , a Republican legisla
ture in 1895 re-enacted it , but improved
upon it by giving the bounty direct to
the farmer , instead of to the "manufac
turer. This has been satisfactory , and
insures the farmer $5 a ton for his beets
if they meet the required test , which is
made by an inspector who represents
the state and not the factory.
The McKinley law provided for a
bounty of 2 cents per pound , and had
not that provision been repealed by a
Democratic congress the number of fac
tories in Nebraska would have been
quadrupled ere this. As it is , not one
beet , supar factory has been built in the
United States since the "Wilson bill be
came a law. A Democratic comptroller
even refused to pass favorably upon the
claims for bounties earned before the re
peal of the bounty provision of the Mc
Kinley law. and did not finally do so
until the supreme court of the United
States had sustained the validity of the
claims.
The records of our state legislature
and of congress therefore show that the
Republican party has been the friend of
the beet sugar industry , and the record
shows just as clearly that the Demo
cratic and Populist" parties have not.
To perpetuate the sugar industry iu
Nebraska it will be necessary at the
comi ng election to return a Republican
legislature.
To build up a great sugar industry in
the nation , it will be necessary to elect
a Republican president and a Republican
congress. 1
William J. Bryan is opposed to boun
ties no less than he is opposed to a pro
tective tariff. In 1894 , when the sugar
tariff was under consideration in con
gress , Mr. Bryan said : "If congress
cannot properly give a bounty directly
to the sugar industry , neither can it ;
properly impose a tax upon sugar , for
the avowed purpose of protecting the
sugar industry. It is as easy to justify
a bounty as a protective tariff , and it is
impossible to justify either. " Democratic
and Popnlist candidates for congress <
stand npon this proposition.
The duty of the hour is to secure a
Republican legislature in Nebraska , to
prevent attack from within ; and to in
sure a Republican congress for the na
tion , which will restore the bounty provision - (
vision repealed by a Democratic con
gress. '
Sugar l'lauk of the Republican National
Platform.
As an assurance that the Republican
party will , if restored to power , foster f
the sugar industry of the United States ,
and as an evidence to the voters of Nebraska - ]
braska that its policy will promote the :
greatest industry that can be built up
within our borders , it should be but necessary - '
cessary to quote the sugar plank of the (
Republican nationel platform , to which 1
William McKinley and every Republican |
candidate for congress stands committed - .
mitted : .
"We condemn the present administration - '
tration for not keeping faith with the '
sugar producers of this country. The '
Republican party favors such protection <
as will lead to the production on American - {
can soil of all the sugar which the American - <
can people use , and for which they pay <
$100,000,000 annually. " f
The people of this state are interested '
in other things than the currency ques- '
tion. In a previous paper it has been <
shown how Mexican cattle importations <
have paralyzed our cattle industry. A {
Kepublicau tariff will revive it. This
paper proves , or ought to prove , that the i
full fruition of the sugar industry means .
as much to Nebraska as a proper settlement -
ment of currency and tariff controver- J
sies. What does the Nebraska farmer <
thiuk about it ? What is the Nebraska i
voter j oing to do about it ? M. A. Brown. 4

Taking Exercise. , .
Poor Harry Shelman , the long haired f I
poet who dressed his entire person to jf I
resemble Buffalo Bill , and who was , in Ifl
fact , startlingly like the greatest of *
scouts , used to tell me of a literary i |
friend of his who had a novel method " I
of taking exercise. His workshop was - I
on the top floor of his house , far from I
the noise of the street , and ho used to -j I
write about 15 hours a day. He was * l
not a Howells or a Bronson Howard , ;
whoso working hours never exceed four II
in any one day. He worked , he labored , 11
he toiled. Ho had no time for a bicycle ' M
and could not afford a horse. He hated /
walking. Eun he could not. Swimming *
was out of the question. Still he must ,
have exercise. He kept his dictionary iu g
the basement and his thesaurus in the r
kitchen. As ho used both very often it
was necessary to make many trips down
stairs and up again , and in that way he
kept himself in splendid physical condi
tion. A visitor once saw him dashing
down stairs like a madman and soaring
up again like a kite and was distressed '
till informed by John's wife that John
• was simply hunting for a word and had
found it. New York Press.

Trunk labels.
"I wish you would have a porter
come up and wash the labels off my
trunks , " remarked a well dressed man
as he signed his name to the book at the
Continental last night. The guest as he i
spoke pointed to three big trunks that
stood in the baggage room. The trunks K *
were covered with the various labels X |
that indicated that they had made a %
longcontinental journey. In days i
gone
by these labels were the proper thing , I
and the man just home from Europe -f
considered those glaring tags as almost - ' 1
sacred. But fashion
has
changed this % M
year , thanks of the Prince of Wales setfl
ting the pace , and now these glarinc " MM
showbills indicative of travel are
longer m vogue. Philadelphia Infl
