At present, with the sugar beet being tnxod for the benefit of tho for
h. .iii i,..i. ., n, in,ii,.FV itlsii consumer. This restless feeling
practically all countries on tho conti
nent of Europe are engaged In the pro
duction or tho article. Tho assertion
made by earlier Investigators that tho
sugar heel required specific climatic
and soil conditions, of which certain
parts of Germany appeared to possess
a monopoly, does not seem to have
been borne out by actual develop
ments. The cultivation of tun beet has
spread to other regions of Oermany na
well os to other countries which, even
In tho enrly nineties, appeared to 1)0
beyond the cultlvnblo zone. To clto
cnly n few examples: Spain, within
the last five cars, has developed a
beet sugar Industry which not only
furnishes the demands of tho homo
market, hut In order to avoid an over
stocking of the homo market Is Beck
ing for new outlets; Italy, which, until
the last ik'railu in the past rentury, de
pended for Its sugar supply upon Im
ports from Austrln, I-'rance, Germany,
nml Itusela. has within recent years
I developed a beet sugar Industry which
i Fuppllcs over two-thirds of tho nation

tc-rlng care of Its government, within

the beet sugar Industry has practically
parsed the experimental stage. With
tho enormous growth of tho sugar
niea, production has kept pace. Thus,
to compare but the middle of the last
(ntuiy with Its close. It Is found that
tne totnl production of sugar Increas
ed from about I.Snn.roo tons to about
S.COii.OOO tons, or over flvo and a hall
times Of this Increase by far the
larger share Is duo to tho growth n(
beet sugar production, which, practl
rally beginning about the mlddlo f
tne century (with n production .(
about 200,000 tons In all), showed nt
the end of the century n total product

Fall In Prices.
The enormous Increase In the total
production of HUgar has caused n fall
In price which for some time, especial
ly about 1 SKT,, threatened the ruin of
the European Industry. From 23s. Cd
per cwt. the net price of sugar In Eng
land (less duty) reached tho level ot
nbnut 20s In 1ST.'. Tho fall was even
more ptonounced during tho succeed
ing years, reaching the low level tl
12s. Id. In 18S7. 9s. Td. In 1890, and
even Us. In 1S9G. The effect of such n
fall In price was moro disastrous for
colonial than for the European sugar,
as the former sugar did not enjoy tho
advantage, of fostering care, nnd be-
becomes the more pronounced when,
as In the case pf most European con
tlncutnl countries, tho sugar Industry

Colonies on Defensive.
Another factor that has rendered
this vexed problem even more com
plex and Intricate Is the fact that soma
of tho European countries, which have
succeeded In developing within their
national dominions the cultivation of
the sugar beet and the production ofl
beet sugar, held and are still holding j
colonial possessions In which tho cul-
.tvntlon ol sugar cane Is one or tho .
hlef employments of the native colo
nml population. Ever since tho fa
mous "Pacte Colonial," which had gl

country with the required sugar quan

struggle or beet nnd cane has been
carried rrom the International mnrk.'t

State, both In Prussia ami Prance

This agitation against the sugar In
dustry has passed, and rrom an ag

In this country the sugar question
