THIS WEEKLY SEA.
IS7f
NEW YORK.
187
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives,the
first since the war, will be in power at
Washington ; and the year of the twenty
third election of a President ot the United
States All of these, events are sure to be of
great interest aud importance, especially
the latter; and all of them and everything
connected with them will be fully and fresh
ly reported in Thk Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opehetl years
ago by Tiie hum. will sternly and diligently
investigate the corruptions ami misdeeds of
Grant's administration ; and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for a new and
better period in our national historv. Of all
this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy iuionnution
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will he memo
rable as deciding upon Grant's aspirations
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deriding who shall be the
j candidate of the party of Reform, and as
i electing that candidate. Concerning all these
j subjects, those who read Thk Sun will have
; the constant means ot being thoroughly well
! informed.
| Thu Wkeki.y Sun, which has attained a
circulation of over eighty thousand copies,
already has its readers in every State and
Territory, and wc trust that the year 1876
will see their numbers doubled. It will con
tinue to In* a thorough newspaper. All the
general news of the day will be found in it,
condensed when unimportant, at full when
of moment ; and always, we trust, treated
in a clear. Interesting and instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make tlie Weekly Sun
the best family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give iu its uolnuiiiA a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, snob
as stories, tales,poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room iu our daily edi
tion. The agricultural department especially
is one ot its prominent features. The fashions
are also regularly reported in its columns ;
and so are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only £1.90 a year,
postage prepaid- As this price barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount can is*,
made from this rate to clubs, agents, Post
masters, or anyone.
The Daily tx. a large four page newsji
per of twenty-eight columns, gives all tin
news for two cents a copy, subscription,
postage prepaid, 5,7c, a month or £6 50
a year Sunday edition extra, $1.10 per year.

The Central Factory System.
The annual consumption of su
gar in the United States is esti
mated at 7,000,000 tons. The
State of Louisiana contributes to
this in rouud numbers, 80,000
tons. There is therefore a home
market for nearly nine times its
present product. Before the war
it made in one year over 200,000
tons, and it was estimated that
its sugar lauds then in cultivation
had a capacity for yielding 250,
000 tons. There cau be little
doubt however, that there are su
gar lands enough in the State uev
er yet cultivated which could
double this amount, thus produc
iug five sevenths of the quantity
necessary to suplv the entire con
sumption of the country. There
is therefore an extensive home i
inaiket to raeetja home supply of
at. least nine times the present I
prodart, and having the lands, no '
more, is required than the neces
suiy capital aud labor to make
the required product. It is uune
cessary to comment ou the pros
perity this would impart to tlie
State and the impulse it would
give to the tratte of New Or
leans.
To accomplish these objects the
Price Current has often advocat
ed the establishment of Central
Factories, which would take the
cane from producers at a reuiuii
erative price, and by means of
their improved machinery and
power of capital, realize from it a
larger manufactured product than
is obtained from the present ays
tern. Iu furtheiauce of this poli
cy we are now gratified to see
that Air. M. A. Montejo, au ac
complisbed civil engineer, who
has devoted special attention to
sugar making has just published
a pamphlet in which he cogently
advocates the establishment of
American Central Sugar Fac
tones. We commend this timely
brochure to the attention of capi
tuiists and owners of sugar lauds
and copy from it the following
extract:
It may be laid down as an ax
ioui, that the industiial interest
of a country reach their highest*
development and greatest produ
cing power, by a division of labor.
Wheat, cotton, and iron, for
instance, iu their different trails
formations, aitord a variety of ob

industry, which, however dissimi

In like manner, in all countries
where forced labor has ceased to
exist, and where the laboring
classes evince a desire to improve
their condition, the Sugar indus
try, far from attempring to pro
duceitsraw material, is content
to buy it from the agriculturist,
aud to pay for it either in manu
factured products, or otherwise,
according to local conditions. Ly
this means the production of the

If, in Louisiana, the Sugar inter
est, under a system of forced la
bor, has been so prosperous in
former times, it its crops were in~
j portaiit enough to iuflueiicf prices
i on all American market; if, with
partial yields ot three and four
hogsheads to the acre, it reached
a production of 200,000 tons; if,
in flue, money was made with
Sugar ot three to four cents a
pound, how can it he doubted,
that much greater results will he
obtained when we shall have in
troduced a proper separation in
the respective attributions ot the
| planter and manufacturer ! That '
the American market offers a great
t future for the consumption of Sugar
j is a matter of fact, as with a popu
lation tending to grow iu a tenfold
| ratio, the actual average cousump
I tion is about 700,000 tons, which
show* an increase of 23 per cent
in the last decade, whilst its pop
ulption has ouly increased 22,22.

The Louisiana planter may be
said to have, as a general rule, a
great deal of land, but to lack la
borers ; he has hut little capital
and still less credit to enable him
to put this to good use. Besides, '
too many varieties of occupations
claim his attention, and be has •
too many risks to bear. The con
sequence is, that, the result, ot his
efforts is unimportant, when not
positively discouraging. j

T ic islands of Martinique and
Guadeloupe, entirely ruined by
the abolition ot slavery, have re
jecovered their ancient prosperity
during the last few years, by the
establishment of vast central fac
tories. That of Arboussicr, iu Gau

tons of cane, having cost $100,

capital of $1,300,000, with a pro
ductive capacity of 68,000 hogs
heads ofsugar. Most of these facto
lies belong to stock companies,
aud where managed with ability,
have yielded dividends ranging
from 27.33 to 48 per cent. The

In Louisiana, the growing ot
cane is essentially artificial ; it is
therefore extremely important.,
that the plant should be subject
to special care, ia order to hasten
its growth to an early maturity,
aud tor this, among many other
reasons, should there be an abso
lute separation of the labor of pro
ducing the caue from that ot uian
utactui ing the sugar; the planters'
task should be exclusively to
increase and perfect, bis cultiva
tion, in order to extract from bis
land all it can produce, and thus
it will become possible to obtain
thirty or forty tons of cane per
acre, when now, only ten to twen
ty tons are the average results,
in estimating the value ot caue.it
should lie borne m mind that the.
cost, of growing it is uniform,
whilst that of manufacturing it
into sugar varies according to the
quantity and density of the juice
it yields, which elm-lily depends
on ail early and ellir.acious eulti
vat ion ; thus, a gallon of juice
weighing 7 deg Bcaumfe, Hhould
yield one pound of sugar crystall
ized, at 8 deg. it should yield 1.31
pounds ; at 9 deg., 1.59 pounds ;
at 10 deg., 188 pounds ; at 10J. 2
lbs of sugar. The value of cane,
therefore, must be estimated ac
cording to its maturity and the
density of its juice, for aqueous
cane will evidently entail an addi
tioual expenditure of fuel.
That the cane in Louisiana is
not, as a general thing, properly
ground, is proved by the quantity
ot juice remaining in the hegasse,
and like wild cane, is slow to reach

It i» notorious Hint the number
ofabandoned sogiir plantations t8
on the increase; as a consequence,;
the machinery of sugar bouses.
and other appliances are going to I
rum, ditches are U Ing up and :
the Oelds are covered a-ith dense (
masses of wecdaTliese plantations!
are, tbe.cfore, l;ro|s rty .rf nega ;
live value in the hands ofIbeir
owners; they cost heavy taxes
yearly and yield noth.ngmreturn.
Now, if these lands were divided
into small farms of from one bun
dred to three or three or even six
hundred acres, these could he!
rented out, and their cultivation ;
into cane stimulated hy the erec- j
tion of Central Sugar Factories,!
with powerful and improved ap
pliancea, where the farmer could
always find a purchaser for his
product. These lands would then
acquire value, and yield a reve- ;
nne instead of being a burden. In
cases where farmers should be \
come owners of their lands, they !
could he interested as co-partners
in the factory, aud this sort of co
operative association lias already
been tested in the Zollvercin (Ger
many), where each shareholder of
' a factory is obliged to furuish a
given proportion of beets yearly,
• ' '
These abandoned lands, then,
would be divided and rented, say
or ten years, giving the tenant
j the privilege cf becoming owner
1 during that period, and the pay
meat of the rent of the porchase
price, could he made payable io
good, sound cane at a rfite to be
agreed upon, with the obligation
upon the tenant of reserving for
the factory the whole of his pro
duction ot cane. Of course, it de
volves upon the managers of the
factory, to eucoprage the cultiva
tion of these farms by all proper
means, sncli as introducing im
proved means of transportations,
as in the French West India Is
lands, through the useot tugboats
and the construction ot tramways,
by furnishing advances of ferti
lizers, by facilitating the means of
draining and irrigating the lauds,
by furnishing agricultural imple
ments, and even, when circum
stances justify it, steam plows.
The river and bayou lands, ou
account ot their being almost level
and of their shape in the area of
cultivation, could have cheap and
improved means of transportation
built.
Some of the results of the erec
tion of Central Factories would
be to call out this dormant capi
tal, to give value aud life to uu
produetive property, to awaken a
speculative spirit in business men
aud guide labor iu the ways of
intelligent economy. Introducing
the Central Factory system would
also result iu a separation of the
three branches of the sugar trade
—the agricultural, the mauutactu
ring, and purely comineral inter
ests, and would certainly give
rise tonumerous mercantile trans
actions on short credit, and our
banks and institutions of credit,
whose vaults are uowoverflowing
w itb funds, for which no advanta
geous employment can be found,
would have a new Hue of safe uud
remunerative business,whilst they
would strengthen labor, facilitate
transactions and stimulate pro
duction, their legitimate objects.
The administrators of the facto
ries could invito smalt laboring
capitalists to become tenants,
owners of lands or even sharehol
ders in the association, a practi
cal mode of disposing of lauds.
Contracts would have to In? en
tered into with neighboring plan
ter for tlie purchase oi cane, deli
verable at various times, ail im
portant resource to cover what
ever deficits might ariso iu the
production of tenants.

We believe that the brightest
hopes of the local sugar interest
ot the whole commercial commu
nity, as well as of the owners of
the rural property, will be reali
zed by the dev ision of landed es
tates into farms, and by the erec
tion of Central Factories, (either
for the manufacture of sugar or
any other product,) judiciously
locsited and intelligently manag
ed. When this takes place, there
must be an incessant influx of
useful, euergetic immigrants iu
search of a comfortable liveli
hood, which their labor will be
sure to earn for them here. And
if the valuable products of the
West, as well as of the South, aro
