It is contended that the beet sugar industry of this country is In no xx'ay an experiment , but on the coutriry is a\-ei > successful enterprise xxhieh has been d ex eloped to a point bej end experiment. Neaily txx'o-lhlids of the sugar which Is consumed in this country at the picscnt time comes fiom Geimnny and is made of beets. It Is ascei tallied that Germany has n sugar amounting to about thrco and a quarter rents a pound , and she besides this pays an export bounty. Franco hits u sugar taiift amounting to ty ( cents a pound , xxhilo Austiia levies n duty upon imported sugar of over 4).f cents a pound ; Italy upxxiiuls of C cents , and the NctherLinds over four cents ; Belgium 4 % cents , and Sp lin over 5 cents u pound Neatly all of these counlues haxo besides this import dutv a bounty upon domestic sugar exported \o other countiies.

The goxeni- ment of ticniitinx has from the x'cij ineipiench of luc sugar indiistij lent encouragement to the piodiieors in the way of michiuctv and an expoit bouut > . These facts aio cited as cxitlence that if Iho beet sugar industty in the United States ex ei amounts to nnj thing it xx ill bo after piopereiicouiagement at the hands of cougiess Mr Oxnnui , the Nebraska beet sugar man- ufactuicr , who lias been heio soxeial xxceks x01 King for pi election in the inteiest of his industtx , sajs Iho beet sugar inanufiictuiers aio xxillmg" bland : i reduction ol t ! > per cent of the ptcacnt duty , but do not want n boiuity , because the latter is simply un eleetuo light intended to catch capi tal for the establishment of beet sugar manu- factoiies , and th.it after the establishment of tlio factoiics and befoio the industiy gets a pioper foothold the bounty w ill be abolished , IIo ptefors a reduction of !
