WEALTH IN THE SUGAR BEET Republican legislation toiler* ll»e **i>gar IuUumI rjr—favor* Amrrlwn NuR*r for Amrrlcwn Sweetening. The agricultural and stock-raising in terest* of Nebraska have suffered seri ously during recent year*. There is lit tle profit, sometimes none, in either grain or live stock. This loss of profit is partially owing to overprisloctiou, to a greut extent to ovareonipetition, ’and in u 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 •low 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 prixluct. At the presenteime the Nebraska farm er, situated loug 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 act* sympa thetically to depress corn mid 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. Hut what new lino of agriculture can he embark in that offers sufficient en couragement? Development of th. fleet Sugar Inililatrr la Nebraska. In referring to the licet sugar indus try of Nebraska it is not necessary to go into thn history of the sugar beet in this state. It is sufficient to say that it lias been proven that our soil is adapted to it, that beet cultivation has been suc cessfully carried on, and thut it is de veloping into one of the greut industries which promises more than any other one thing to lighten the burden and im prOVfJ Win ruimmuii tu agm unuir hi opr state. Under un act of the lost leg. islatnre of the state of Nebraska, the farmer who raises beets gets a bounty of $1 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 Island and Norfolk bad more applications for beet contracts in 181k) than they coaid handle. Hud there been other factories in the state, at least double the present beet acreage would have l>een planted this season. Ho it will bo seen that oar 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. Mrbrniiki Vadorlfi Commence theS«Mou,i Work. It has been my good fortune to gain an interview with Mr. Bprocher, pub lisher of the Norfolk Joarnal, 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 attitudo 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 80,000 tons, the beets being worth to the grower $5 per ton, or a grand totul of $200,000. This all goes to the farmer. Tho factory, winch opened for the season September 24, and will be in operation 24 hours a day until March 1, works two shifts of men with 150 in each shift, or a total labor roll of 300. In additiuu, the clerical force, aud one inspector and two weighers, will add 26 men to the rolls. The pay roll for the entire time will reach 93.000 u week, nr |so 000 for the season of live months. lint the |3SO,O00 that will lie paid ont for beets and factory labor is only about one half of the expense of producing the refined sugar. The factory uses 76 tons of coal each day, costing 93.00 per tou. Also 60 tons of lime rock each day, costing not less than 92 per ton. And In uddition 10 tons of coke each day, costing almut lb* r ton. Theu there are many thousands of yards of jute litter doth, 100,1)00 each of outside and inside bugs for the sugar, aud mauy other things iu the line of chemicals, sulphur, soda, oils and tallow, inci dental < >|H'i,»e«. n j.rtiiH of machinery, insurance aud taxes, etc,, which run ths ci»t «.f production and n iitlenance into lh« buiuireds of thousands, and benetita directly many other lines of I business amt Industry j In the li< hi and factory It is estimated that iSA) | ample wilt be employed oo an 1 average of 12 working months in the year It will be Unite is mind that tills refer* al.ute to the Norfolk factory, hence it will ugly hr SSNwtn to multi |2y all of theab-oe 9gur«a hy two to ar« j rive *1 the get product and net results j la tha stats to* the arwanti .4 I'M* »f I Nkmkx rnSsti He* * |e*y la tke Us iSias) Sage* lb*i The |U'da»*t «f the Norfolk atuttiterxl I*,and fa. hates (• * the • »tn Ul sessog will be that poumia If «mn egmed •studf IN the state it Would #u|gdy issr |*oy>U dost 19 weeka «t three Musis he f-igbt fact-<*ua ilu *)»•■ i *4 the present sms « uel tkvnt t*. be - ngresssry t*< supply Hut b« ai Not*ask* .tesaaad ahrne iiuptu *4 sugar by the 1 uited itsiei j Its I sew uses t jnxt.MM turn-a #.srtk Jfc... *«*» pawl* U-ee than half uf this sat* pit rags* ft*at* the beet >uga* p*-*tu* -wg *>au- at* >4 hatupM let eyesy pcgml that enter* tnto the ngthmal «*nsu»|> that »wm be pnsimed lg the U attest rtshe If | lact sy uf tha tspsilf uf t lh*m* at Nurfidh »*J Utaml Isigrni am j located in every one of the !I0 comities of Nebraska, ami produced each 10,000. 000 pounds each year, they would sup 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 upon the development of so great an industry, coupled with the present normul supply, which by reason of bard times tins been comparatively light, WX) to !*X) factories would Isi re* ■ quin d 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, ls-canse with 00 factories in Nebraska each of them wonld be but about one in ten of the entire number, and there are probably not more than 1U states that are per fectly adapted to the cultivation of the sugar beet. The' Sugar Kukiaiicr* tlie Value of Our l.sml. That which has happened at Norfolk and Grand Island would he repeated at other {shuts where factories would lie located, band values have gone up con siderably near these two cities. Mr. Bpreeher states that (ample are already lisiking for land near Norfolk for laiet growing, either to buy or rent, uud that values liave been increased considerably because of the profit in the sugar indus try. bands in the vicinity of Norfolk rent for f.i and fit uu acre, and the rates are advancing. Local business lias been greatly bene fitted in these towns, enabling tbefurin ers to find a better home market for their produce and particularly for jaiultry and butter and eggs, which are the great money-makers of the farm when it is contiguous to the factory. Bo there is a mutual benefit to town and country which extends fur beyond the immediate range of the industry itself. A great benefit would also lie wrought. lmiireoiij mruuK'1 1,1,1 kijuuouii <« 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 production. 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 aecru<*to ail classes and Nebraska would become one of the most prosiierous states of the union. Til* Sugar Meet In legislation and In Politic*. A Republican legislature pnocted the first sugar bounty law in Nebraska. The Grand Island and Norfolk factories were made a success as a result of tiiat legis lation. A populist legislature repealed the law. Again, a Republican legisla ture in l8Wi re-enacted it, but improved upon it by giving (he bounty direct to tlie farmer, instead of to the manufac turer. This has been satisfactory, and insures the farmer $fi a ton for his l«ects 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 rejiealed by a lfcmocrutic congress tiie number of fac tories in Nebraska would have been quadrupled ere this. As it is, not one » , * . _ t_i _ l x — *1_ U»*ri niljtlll nun !/■ • si I'liiiv m United Staten 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 perpetuuto the Rugar industry in Nebraska it will he necersary at the coming 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 oongress. William J. llryan is opiswed to boun ties no less than he is opisised to a pro tective tariff. In IK1M, when the sugar | tariff was under consideration in con gress, Mr. llryan said; "If congress cannot properly give a bounty directly to ths sugar industry, neither can it properly impose a tax upon sugar, for tiie avowed purjKwc of protecting the sugar industry. It is as easv to justify a bounty us a protective tariff, and it is ini|s*kible to justify either." Denns'ratio and Populikt cauiitdati-s for congress 1 stand u|hiii this proposition. The duty of the hour is to secure a Republican legislature in Nebraska, to prevent attack from within; aud to in sure a Republican congress for the na tion, which wilt restore the Ikmiity pro vision rv|s-alcd by a 1 kiuioe ratio cou ! gress. sugar I'lssfc **# llv* Hr|>*kms Vallmal rial (art*.
