city even goes so far as to declare that their special object of attack will be the suar sugar 0 factory now if any one will stop to consider for a moment that the stock in this sugar 0 factory is owned largely by democrats that one democrat in this county owns more stock in it than all the republicans of tho county put together and that these democratic stockholders are active able business men who would not seek to destroy a concern in which their money is invested then does docs it not seem that republican calamity howlers bowlers are overstepping 15 the bounds of truth two years it ago 0 o this same question came up republican orators went about warning the people against 0 democracy republican newspapers were full of ghost host stories concerning industries tw hicel dem dam had slaughtered there was no fact on which to base their ridiculous fears but the tricksters trick knew that democrats al always wa s hail had opposed arid and always would oppose the doctrine of taxing 0 the many for the benefit of a few therefore the bounty question on was mace maae an issue in the campaign two years ao ago 0 republican leaders declared that a democratic legislature eis e 0 is would kill the su sugar suar 0 ar factory it at lehi by refusing 0 the bounty of 14 1 cents per pound on all sur augar 0 a it produced democratic leaders insisted that the factory could 0 go 0 ri right ht on oil without that bou bounty rity and took the ground that it was wrong ca to keep it up with the peoples taxes anyway A director of the su sugar ar factory in order to aid tho the republican party wrote a letter to the public offering to the person who would show how the factor factory y could be run rail a year without this territorial bounty in spite of the warning a democratic legislature legisla tle was elected CleC ted THE BOUNTY WAS NOT INOT GRANTED and the su sugar suar ar factory has been running in full blast ever since six months after the legislature had bad refused to pass the

lake shoie and benjamin districts put in about sixty five acres last year benjamin alone will put in about acres acrea this year and so go it goes chowins that the farmers fir believe that there are profits in sugar beet raising regardless of what some oi of our democratic friends frienda say gay on the of november 1892 the deseret news published an interview with elins elias morris president of tho utah sugar 0 company lie he said last car wo we manufactured manufacture i pounds of sugar this year the output lias has been pounds greater and the coni nany is if perfectly satisfied with the

good farmers do poor ones do not somo of them have done very well iveli this I year and others I 1 suppose badly that chias of anen know practical farmers haic marle per arre acre und they have evidenced their satisfaction by signifying in g their intention of doubling doublin beet acreage next 3 ear car on oil the day of september 1892 the lehi ranner banner published as a leading editorial the following once more the hie sugar factory is running in full blast and working up chiq crop of beets beet and butali uta I 1 bukar will again be on oil the llie market as aa the first arst sugar from froin this ye years icett vas aig turned out oui yesterday at 5 atins cwill one more mom partly cupply supply tle the demand for augar the regret degre now is that we cannot male make enough to supply the inter moun tian district we have every facility at bar our doors except the factories there are many men anxious anxious to ork in these and other factories athen lien they began on monday morning there was enough men on oil the ground to run two such factories does that look like the su sugar suar 0 ar factor factory had been killed by the lc legislature 0 which voted down the bounty bill almost a year before put but look the lehi banner a year later septet september aber the 1893 almost two years after the bounty bou I 1 ity was voted down it says say s and the standard quotes it lelii lehi is the bright brith tit t town lonn lon n in utah at the present time lime there are employed now bailie by the sugar factory in tile the manipulation of the sugar beet on I 1 the he farms taking up arid ami topping beets 10 men and ami 50 boys inside the factory and outside 13 35 men milking making a total of hands besides these there are about 51 50 to 75 private persons persona taking ill up their own beets there then are about 25 teams hauling beets which with what are brow brought lit in by the railroads deliver to the factory SOO tons per day tina this will give some idea of tt hat this industry is doing for our lo 10 town n and we have not told tob all who ho are fini fin finlin lim liny work ork by this thia industry for there are arc quite a number of persons who raised beets who alto have not licit yet been called upon to take them up the crop this year is so po encouraging 1 that at it is thought that the application to raise beets next i 3 car will be e greater than the factory can contract for the sentiment in favor of 0 this industry is so BO changed there is a large amount of land this year aich will yield front from 20 to 0 30 0 tons per acre some beets have already been dug which v aich go 30 tons to the acre which at 5 per ton beninga per acre this certainly shows that every republican who said that the sugar sugar Z f bictory lectory would die if the legislature failed to pass tho the bounty b bill 11 was a false prophet it proves beyond a doubt and those republican orators and editors were either woefully ignorant or wilfully deceitful the flourishing sugar factory of utah stands today a living thriving witness of republican duplicity teisu Tl ells isu sugar gar factory did not die although thou 0 h the bounty was refused it has bas been growing ever since the bounty bills defeat and its stockholders are perfectly satisfied with their investment then since it can run without appropriating a part of the peoples bonev money it would be a crime to take that moncy money or any portion there of and bestow it upon a corporation that seems to get along so well ivell without it there is no question but what men will be found to raise beets bees and make sugar in this country if it pays if it does not pay w eliy I 1 ay iy should the masses maises of the people be called upon to contribute taxes for the purpose of hiring 3 men to engage f aar V in a losin losing 0 business why should all people be ba taxed to make good the losses of a small number especially when those few seem perfectly able to tako take care of themselves but the republican organ 0 of this city is alarmed for fear the democrats will control the next legislature and take away tho the suar su sugar ar bounty lias its editorial s taff staff bee been asleep for these two years then let it awake and hear bear the truth THERE is xo NO TO TAKE AWAY republican leaders should lay that bu bugaboo bug 0 alloo a boo aside |
