The bounty is not to be paid til! the sugar is finally brought to this perfection. Hence it will be paid to the reliners and to no one else. A Republican Re-publican organ is so anxious to show that it is the farmer who will get the bounty, that it says: The bounty is not to be paid to the refiners. A number of farmers can associate themselves together and put tin a beet surar mill to reduce tlipir own beet product, and in their organized organ-ized capacity they will collect the bounty. Any single farmer can do this if lie has the means. . Of course "any single fanifer" can rake in this bounty "if he has the means" to put up a sugar mill. That will cost a mere $500,000 to begin with. Evidently,then, the road to wealth is open to every poor farmer that can raise a half million of dollars for the ;rection of a sugar plant. |
