The cost of sugar in Ohio will be the prick In New York plus the freight from New York to Ohio. In Omaha, Salt Lake City or hay oilier point in the United States, that is exactly what the price will be the cost In the worlds market plus freight to the point of delivery. It is 'true there are refineries on the Pacific coast ...There la also one In' Honolulu, making refined sugar which Is shipped to the ' Pacific coast. But the prices on the Pacific coast are fixed, by the general world prices shere the great supplv of the product must come from. So that San Francisco of necessity regulates its price by the New York price, freight rates, of course, being taken Into consideration. There is not a beet sugar company In the United States that can sell a bag of sugar 5 cents above the market price, for the very simple reason that if it tried to do it every broker or merchant would protest, knowing every day exactly what the price of sugar is in the markets abroad, and knows what it costs to bring it from ,Uveejtt3Arketr to,.thc P5PdvqtPqJheMl8sourt,,rivefwand east of that the differential between polqj where it la void.

Moreover, if they decided not to follow the market price, but to say that $6 a hundred pounds for sugar ft sufficient, and that they would dispose Of their sugar at that price, would it not be bought up by anybody and everybody who knows that the market price is considerably higher r than that figure, and would those buyers not make the profit between what the company sold it at, and the market, price of the world?. Who then would be benefited? The ultimate consumer or the broker and the Jobber and the merchant and speculator, who would greedily buy every bag of sugar that was foolishly soli below the market price? ; v was there sugar Suppose uoti factory in this whole Rocky mountain region. What then would be the price of sugar in Utah? It would be exactly what the price of cane sugar (for there is no beet sugar now in the coast markets) is in San "FranclBco, plus the freight from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As I have said before, the San Francisco price - i regulated and controlled by the New York price. So as a matter of fact, if there were no beet sugar factories In this region w e would be paying exactly 23 cents a hundred pounds more for our sugar than we do now, for the reason that beet sugar is sold at r. 20 cents a bag less than Is Beet is exactly as Sugar sugar.'

At that moment the farmer departs from the realm of trade and enters Into the realm of charity. 'It may be commendable In him" to give to his poorest neighbor, but he is not selling his product for what It will bring in the markets .of the world.
