Tho Stato Journal, ono of tho few pa Va in the sugar boot district that has filvocatod aroUueilon of thu tariff on -Cuban sugar, calls attention to tho fact that a thousand tioketa wore sold in throo weeks to laborers in Linooln who went forth for a soasoas work in the beot tields, and advocates tho building of a beet sugar factory in Lincoln in or dor that thoso laborers may bo employ en at uome ana spena their money thoro Attontion is called to tho fact that soven now factories aro projected in Michigan, four in Wisconsin and throo In Illinois, but it is not mentioned that tho completion ot these factories aro contingent to a gicat extent on the augar legislation now before congress, Tho cost ot the erection of the average beet sugar plant is about 1500,000, or an amount ot nearly four rallltoa dollars for tho factorios contemplated. It is not to be wondored at that tho repre seatativos of this vast amount of capi tal should hesitate to invest it in the ace of possible unfriendly legislation, but it is to be wondered at that promi- oont papers that advocato tho building 01 hoot sugar factories should favor leg islation that will surely tend to rotard tho work.
