Show beet sugar production the american agriculturist a sensible nan partisan professional paper tells us that now france is agi agitating tat an increased bounty bounta on her beet sugar aba is exported she too wants the american market no wonder since in spite of lower prices sugar consumption in france is relatively lat lati ively Tely oo on the decrease and the surplus for export is growing if the united states should so foster our domestic industry that the american farmers and manufactures should produce the IOU worth of sugar now imported yearly it would close up half the beet sugar factories in europe in other words the united states is practically eup sup poring about half of the beet sugar augar factories in germany and france now if ff we are to continue doing this lets make these factories move over to tile the united states so that our farmers can raise the beets and our people get the benefit of the millions of dollars invested in this vast industry to carry out this idea may require protection that some folks have considered such a dreadful thing in theory but we notice that theres not a free trade country in the west or middle south but would eagerly offer every possible inducement du cement to secure a big beet sugar factory the most direct form oi of protection though the people e may not think so lets quit political theorizing and partisanship and tackle this sugar problem in a busi like way we want best for america not best fur europe the sugar augar industry was established in utah by the businesslike business like means which the american agriculturist advises mckinless McKin leys national bounty was the first impetus given to the pio production of sugar in utah and that together with the local bounty is what secured for the farmers of utah the profitable beet crop that yields them money enough to pay their taxes and other bills each fall they would not know how to get along now without the beet crop and the factory is being crowded almost beyond its capacity by farmers anxious to grow beets if we had another sugar factory of like capacity in the south end of this county the farmers could supply both with sugar beets and would be glad to do it in the state we could run besides thoin this county four more factories two in the northern part and two in the south and there would always be found a ready cash market for their product the election of major mckinley means a farther promotion of the sugar augar industry of the country there is great room for increase in the sugar industry of the country as the statistics show we import from europe each year more than a million and a half tona of sug ir at an expense to our people of more than a hundred million dollars to make our own sugar it has been computed that it would take eight hundred sugar factories with a capacity of fifty thousand pounds per day running a hundred days in the he year this would mean a call oa the farmers of the country for twenty four million tons of beets which at five dollars per ton would net them a hundred and twenty million dollars do llara in many sections of the country those figures seem mythical but here in utah they are truths that ought to sink into the hearts of the farmers they ought to realize that a vote for major mckinley means a vote in their own interest A vote for far W J bryan means a vote against the tha sugar industry ahe utah farmers should vote the republican ticket straight |
