xne agricultural ana stock-raising in
terests of Nebraska hare suffered serf'
ously daring recent years. There is lit
tle profit, sometimes none, in eithei
grain or lire stock. This loss of profil
is partially owing to orerprodnction, tc
a great extent to overoompetition, and
in a considerable degree to the partial
paralysis of our home market. Nebraska
farmers can recover ffrom these back
sets in time, bat the recovery will be
slow 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 whioh
ate already yielding an over supply.
Cheap labor produces a cheap product.
At the present time the Nebraska farm
er, situated long distances from the
markets, is suffering from this compe
tition in wheat and cattle, whioh 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 hogs. It is therefore becom
ing evident that he must look to greater
diversification for the solution of the
agricultural problem that confronts him.
But what new line of agriculture can
he embark in that offers sufficient en
couragement?
Psrslopmsat of the Bool Sugar Industry
la Nebraska.
In referring to the beet sugar indus
try of Nebraska it is not necessary to go
into the history of thesugar 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
whioh promises more than any other
one thing to lighten the burden and im
prove the condition of agriculture in
our state. Under an not of the last leg
islature of the state of Nebraska, the
farmer who .raises beets gets a bounty
of tl per ton from 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 Triunrt
and Norfolk had more applications for
beet contracts in 1806 than they could
handle. Nad 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
formers 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 Factortw Oouhmih the Hsusim*S
Work.
It has been my good fortune to gain
an interview with Mr. Spreoher, 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 faotory alone. The product of
this acreage is estimated reasonably at
60,000 tons, the beets being worth to the
grower |5 per ton, or a grand total of
9800,000. This all goes to the farmer.
The factory, whioh opened for the
Season September 94, and will be in
operation 94 hours a day until March 1,
works two shifts of men with ISO in
each shift, or a total labor roll of 800.
In addition, the olerloal force, and one
lnspeotor and two weighers, will add 95
men to the rolls. The pay roll for the
Stlre time will reach ffi.000 a week, or
11,000 for the season of five months.
But the 9880,000 that will be paid out
lor beets and faotory labor is only about
one-half of the expense of producing the
refined sugar. The faotory uses 76 tons
of coal eaoh day, costing. 98.00 per ton.
Also 80 tons of lime rook »a«h day,
costing not less than 99 per ton. And
in addition 10 tons of ooke eaoh day,
easting about 910 per ton. Then them
are many thousands of yards of jute
filter doth, 100,000 eaoh of outside and
inside bogs for the sugar, and many
other things in the fins of nhami«^it
sulphur, soda, oils and tallow, inci
dental expenses, repairs of machinery.

the cost of production and
into the hundreds of and
benefits directly many other lines of
business and industry.
In the field and faotory it is Mtlmatit
that 600 people will be employed on an
average of lii working months in the
year. It will be borne in mind
this refers alone to the Norfolk faotory,
hence it will only be neoeesary to multi
ply all of the above figures by two to ar>
rive at the net produot and net results
in the state for the season of 1896-97.
Wsfemikn Fredas* Bats Drop lath* Na

The product of the Norfolk and Orand
Island factories for the current season
will be about 90,000,000 pounds. If con
sumed entirely in the state it would
supply our people about 18 weeks or
three months. Bight factories the else
of the present ones would, therefore, be
BSoassary to supply the local Nebraska
demand alone.
Imports of sugar by the United States
in 1896 wots 1.804,866 tons, or8,609,78V
000 pounds. Men than half of this sup
ply came from the beet sugar producing
asetfoos of Sinope. Yet every pound
.that enters into the national oonsump
pen can be produced in the United
{States. If a faotory of the capacity ol
{those at Norfolk and Grand Island was
located in every one of the 00 oonntiea
of Nebraska, and produced each 10,000,*
000 ponnds each year, they would sup*
I ply but a small part of the sweetening
required by the American people. In*
deed, it is estimated that along with the
stimulation of the consumption of sugar
attendant npon the development of so
great on industry, coupled with the
, present normal supply, whioh by reason
of hard times has been comparatively
light, 800 to 900 factories would be re*
. qaired to supply the American demand
alone, 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*
feotly adapted to the cultivation of the
sugar beet.
snnanoM int vain* of
Oar Load.
That which haa happened at Norfolk
and Grand Island would be repeated at
other points where factories would be
located. Land 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
because of the profit in the sugar Indus*
try. Lands in the vicinity of Norfolk
rent for 96 and 96 an acre, and the rates
are advancing.
Local business has been greatly bene*
fitted in these towns, enabling the farm
ers to find abetter home market for their
prodnoe 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 oountry
which extends far beyond the immediate
range of the industry itself.
A great benefit would also be wrought
indireotly through the development of
the sugar industry in Nebraska. Many
thousands of aores 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 production.
This diversification would in a brief
time equalise 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 Boat in La*Ulation and in
Polities.
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 1896 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 96 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 MoKinley law provided for a
bounty of 3 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 sugar factory has been built in the
United States since the Wilson bill be
oame 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 Mo
Kinley law, and did not finally do so
until the supreme oourt 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 dearly that the Demo
cratic and Populist parties have not.
To perpetuate the sugar industry in
Nebraska it will h^ necessary at the
coming election to rlnum a Republican
legislature.
To build up a great sugar industry in
the nation, It will be neoessary to elect
a Republican president and a Republican
oongrees.
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
ana Populist candidates for oongrees
stand upon 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 pro
vision repealed by a Democratic con
npr nnk or um RtpnW«M XtUtuI
Platform.
Aa an assuranoe that the Republican
party will, it restored to power, foster
the angar industry of the United States,
and aa an evidence to the voters of Ne
braska that its policy will promote the
greatest industry that can be built up
within our borders, it should be but ne
cessary to qnote the sugar plank of the
Republican national platform, to which
William McKinley and every Republican
candidate for congress stands com
mitted:
"We condemn the present adminis
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 Ameri
can soil of all the sugar which the Ameri
can people use, and for which they pay
$100,000,000 annually.”
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 paralysed our cattle industry. A
Republican tariff will revive it. This
paper proves, or ought to prove, that the
full fruition of the sugar industry means
as much to Nebraska as a proper settle
ment of currency and tariff controver
sies. What does the Nebraska farmer
think about it? What is the Nebraska
voter going to do about it? M. A. Bbowk.
SCHOOL LAND FUNDS

Holcomb Still Harping On Um School
Fond—No Penon Need Bo Deoeired bf
PopnlUt Clap-Trap.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 6.—A number of
Populist and Democratic conventions
have adopted resolntions censoring the
state officers composing the board of
educational lands and fnnds for refusing
or failing to invest the money in the per*
manent school fund in state securities.
Populist speakers also touch upon it
occasionally, and Governor Holcomb not
infrequently refers in his talks and in*
terviews to the trouble he has had to
get the board to invest the funds as di
rected by law, the inference being, of
course, that the purpose is to keep
fnnds idle in the treasury for the bene
fit of the state treasurer.
Tour correspondent has taken the
pains to examine the records , closely,
and to acquaint himself with the facts
from other sources, the result being that
the governor is convicted of being a
cheap pettifogger and that the allega
tions are absolutely and entirely with
out foundation.
Governor Holcomb contended fora
long time that a warrant of the state
general fund was estate "security,”
and could therefore be made the basis of
investment of the school fnnds. The
board took the opposite view, which is
sustained by the supreme oourt, which
has declared that such a procedure is
the equivalent of making a transfer from
one fund to another, a course thatis un
constitutional and contrary to law. This
is the course that the governor insisted
upon following, and that he blames the
board for not adopting, in the faoe of
the deoision of the highest court of the
state that it can not be done.
It is a fact that the board of educa
tional lands and funds has invested in
all bonds of the various oounties of Ne
braska that have been presented, except
in one instance where the action of the
governor compelled it to buy a block of
bonds from a broker and pay a bonus of
•3,600 which oould have been saved to
the state if the governor’s action had
not caused the sale to brokers instead of
to the state direct. It is therefore sur
prising to note that he still refers to the
matter occasionally and strives to get a
little cheap glory through a distortion of
the record.
As a matter of fact the state officials
have acted conscientiously and accord
ing to law in all matters during the two
years that they have been at the capitol.
They have not only given the state faith
ful service, but have also conducted the
business economically and thrown every
safeguard around the expenditure of
public funds and the transaction of pub
lio business. Governor Holcomb knows
this, but just at present he is making a
campaign of self-glorification, and see*
no way to build himself up except by
tearing somebody else down.

A SILVER MAN’S TENANT FARM.

County Tsll Their Own Story.
Pawnee county has one locality that
presents a great contrast. It is in that
part of the county where the thousands
of acres owned by John W. Bookwalter
are located. The Bookwalter system of
tenant farming, judging from appear
ances, is not a success. The landlord
and his mortgage system bears heavily
upon the tenant and where homes and
home improvements ought to be are only
the evidenoe of hastily cultivated fields
and temporary improvements of the
cheapest character. Surrounded as these
10,000 acres are with splendid farms
owned by individual farmers, owned by
farmers who have their great red barns
and commodious houses, who have herds
of stock, fine groves and loaded orchards,
the barrenness and neglect that marks
the Bookwalter acres stamps that land
lord and tenant system as a greater fail
ure than words easily picture.
The owner of these lands, John W.
Bookwalter, is a silver man and he has
written a book upon the silver question.
With a liberality not noticeable in other
dealings with his tenants he has pre
sented them with copies of his book, but
they will maintain their independence
in voting this year the same as they i
have done heretofore. The people of I
Pawnee who are acquainted with some
of the records at the court house think
that they know one reason at least why j
the proprietor of the Bookwalter acres
is for silver.
