RUINED BY THE SUCAL TRUST | Advantages Recently Gained by the Great Mcnopoly in Congrets. NEBRASKA INDUSTRY AND THE TARIFF of the In- G.

He takes a gloomy outlook on the beet sugar industry in Nebraska and believes that unless the policy of the government is very materially changed the Nebraska factorles will be compelled to go out of existence in another ye Under the new tariff bill passed at the dictrtion cf the Sugar trust,” said Mr. Hamil ton, “we are practically ruined in Nebraska We started out five ycars ago with the in- tention of building ten sugar factories in Nebraska and Californfa. We have built three, and instead of bullding more may be compelled to abandon those already in opera- tion at Chino, Grand Island and Norfolk nder the operations of the McKinley tariff law our factorles were slowly but surely gaining the confidence of the farmers of Nebraska. We were paying $5 per ton for beets and at this figure the farmers were raising beets at a liberal profit. They were beginning to become enthuslastic over beet culture. As a proof of this assertion I have only to cite you to the fact that the first year we commenced operations at Nor- folk the farmers raised but 300 acres of beets. Last year they raised 900 e while this year they have a crop of 4,20 acres, and we were compelled to close our contract books April because mo were likely to be raised than we could well take care of. “Under the new tarift bill we cannot more than $4 per ton for beets delivered at factory. We make contracts during the months of October and November. We shall send out circular letters at once mak ing a frank statement of our situation, giv ing accurate figures representing the loss we will sustain and ask the beet raisers to sus- tain just one-half of that I In other words, in order to run the factcry on the new basis we should have to purchase beets at $4 per ton. Woe are willing, however, to divide the loss, HAW “No one the beet 1o was pay the IIAN SUGAR FREE Intimately inted with sugir industry is in a position t realize the full exteat of the bargain be- tween the United States senate and the Sugar trust. Here is one phase of the deal Under the new law raw sugar is taxed at the rate of 1% cents per pound end the bounty tiken off. That means that the sugar producers of the United States are deprived of the bounty and those of Ger- many and France are compelled to pay a tax. The sugar producers of the Haw islinds, however, have the privile bringing. their sugar to the United freo under the reciprocity trealy. Hawaiian factories e entirely owned the trust, and if required to pay the would have to pay the government betw $6,000,000 and $6,000,000 on this product #lone. The reciproelty provision, therefore, makes the Sugar trust a gift of this amotizt of money “Ancther friendly factor for the trust is the ad valorem duty. The States says to the importer that he pay a tax of 40 per cent on the sugar he imports, assessed upon tho value of the product at the place of pur- chase. This means that the impcrter has the opportunity of defrauding the govern- ment by buying sugar in Germany and hav- ing it billed st a low &nd fictitious pric and then by a deft manipulation of the cu toms house inspectors sccure the admission of the sugar o billed into the United States, The Sugar trust has already overstocked the country with raw su, The ware- houses at every eastern seabard are literally overflowing with sugar, and these accumula- tions were brought here before the new law went into effect As a result the Sugar trust his reaped millions and the pecple will be required to stand the lo WHAT NEBRASKA LOSES. “Nebraska is just beginning to realize the tmportance of the sugar industry in this state. The people around Norfolk already re- alize it. Last year we pald out $8,000 for wages in our factory during the seventy days we were operating. We d out $1 D00 for beets to the farmers. The workers in the beet flelds were paid about $1,400 per day for the season. -All of this money was spent in Norfolk. In addition Pacific and Elkhorn railroads $100,000 in freights, and purchased and used in the manufacture of sugar 300 car loads of lime stone, all of which was quarried in Cass county. So the people of Plattsmouth as well as of Norfolk felt the beneficent results of a_home factory. These figures apply to the Norfolk factory atone. They would be nearly duplicated by the Grand Island fac- tory. “The great Platte valley could easily sup- port fifty sugar factories like the ones now in operation at Grand Island and Norfolk. The beets would be raised at home, and the limestone would be quarried at home. The sugar would be largely used outside of the state. The sugar crop with fifty factories in operation would bring $150,000,000 annually into Nebraska to be spent among Nebraska merchants and laborers. The fifty factories would support a population of 400,030 people, even it there was not another acre of any Kkind of product raised in the state. “It we can Induce the farmers the beets in sufficient quantities at $4 per ton to run our factories, we shall continue _in business until the republican party re- turns to power, which I firmly believe it will do in 1896, If we cannot, we shall quit entirely at the close of the run in the fall of 1895." 3 Smelter Husin The Omaha smelti; not acqu tax Sugar United must the value of to raise s Not Affected. & works hive not gained anything by the new tariff bill. This much was stated by Mr. Nash cf the Omaha and Grant Smelting works yesterday. A dis- patch 1o the Associated press report yest day stated that there were more than 300 cars of silver-lead ore at Juarez, Mexico, waiting for the new tariff bill to go into ef- fect before being transferred to the United Stites. Many Mexican mines running a high percentage of lead and which clcsed down on account of the Windom ruling will now be opened up again, and it is thought another smelter will be opened at an early date. “I do not believe,” there is a word of % There may be, of course, 300 carloads of unsmelted ore at Juarez, but if there are that many they are not waiting for the new tariff bill before being shipped to smelters in the United States. In the first place, there s still a tariff of one-fourth of 1 per cent on lesd ores, and under the new tarift bill lead has already gone off one-half cent There 8 no better market for lead now in th's country than there was before the new bill went into effect, from the mine owners standpoint. In the second place, the Mexi- can smelters are able to treat all the ore offered “Our business in Omaha will not In the least by the new tariff law any increas:d business at all we will do it at Durango, where we already have large works and where we are smelting more cre than we are in Omaha. Our Durango works are handling twice the quantity of ore that the Omaha works are.

Charlle Morsman was a bright young lad whose death has caused sore bereavement in his family and among all who knew him The immediate cause of his death was ap- pendicitis, He was taken i1l last week with what apy d at first to be an attack of indigestion, which afterwards developsd into a case of Inflammation of the bowe The attending physician was Dr. Bridges, and not until Sunday night did he feel any alarm as to the condition cf his young patient. Monday morning at 2 o'clock Dr. Summers was called in for a consultation and the two pronounced it a case of appendicitis, but aid not decide upon an operation until the fore- noon of that day. The cperation took place in the afternoon in the presence of mem- 1t was conducted by Dr. assisted by Drs. Bridges as by the head n n Summers, who wa and Allison, as w from the Child's hospital. The operation disclosed the fact that it was a genuine case of appendicitis, and that it had progressed too far. Suppuration had already set In, and he interior of the vermiform appendage was already gangrenous and full of ichorous pus, which had been es- caping into the abdominal cavity, result- ing in blood poisoning. The family are fully convinced that the lad’s death was in no sense the result of the operation, but that it was unavoidable. of Mrs. Muthiesen, The funeral of Mrs. John Mathiesen, wife of Superintandent Mathiesen of the eity hall, was held at the family residence at 1740 South Eleventh street at k yester- day.

The graders are con- siderably n advance of the laying forces and everything is going on splendidly. “Not in many years have the Black Hills been so genmerally benefited with rains as during the present year. They have good crops in that section and consequently every- body is pleased over the outlook.” “Have you made a traffic agr:ement with the Northern Pacific?”’ asked the reporter. Mr. Holdrege hesitated a moment, then said: “The Burlington has been in n’gotia- tion with the Northern Pacific people for some time, but no trafic agreement has been made as yet.
