REDUCTION  IN  P R I CE  OP  SUGAR.

The  tendency  of  all  manufacturing 

The  editor  proceeds  to say:  "It  is  yet  to 
be  proved  that  the  development  of  the  in 
dustry  is  likely  to  lower  the  price  to  the 
consumer."  Time  is  a  necessary  condition 
. for  the  development  of  any  industry.  A 
to  his  wife 
husband  at  dinner  remarked 
that  he  was  "disappointed  not  to  have  fried 
chicken 
I 
brought  home  a  basket  of  eggs  yesterday." 
"But  it  takes  time  for  eggs  to  hatch  into 
chickens,  and  a  longer  time  for  the  chickens 
to grow  to  the  frying  size.  Have  patience." 
in 
dustries  when  sufficient  time  is  allowed,  is 
to reduce  the  price  of  the  product.  Thirty 
years  ago  Prof.  Tracy  bought  some  wire 
nails  to use  at  the  College,  paying  '20  cents 
they  are  now  sold  for  4  cents. 
a  pound; 
ii\i 
Fifty  years  ago  cotton  sheeting  sold  for 
cents  a yard,  that  now  sells  for  5  cents.  A 
box  of  friction  matches  cost  25c;  now  2c. 
In  1854 I  bought  in  Kalamazoo  a  gallon  of 
kerosene,  for  which  I paid  $1.50.  With  bet 
ter  machinery, 
impr  ved  methods,  and 
competition,  the  price  has  fallen  until  a 
better  kerosene  is  now  sold  for  8c.  This  is 
the  history  of every  species  of  manufactur 
ing  when  left  open  to  free  competition,  and 
to some  extent  even  under  monopoly. 

Will  the  sugar  industry  be  an  exception 
I  have  seen  the  price 

to this  general  law? 
of refined  sugar  fall  from  18% c to  5c, till  the 
trust  took  hold  of it,  and  the  price  is now  6c 
in  Lansing,  What  will  be  the  influence  of 
beet  sugar  on  prices  in  the  near  future? 
The  industry  is  yet  in  its  early  infancy. 
Ten  years  ago  there  were  two  factories  in 
Nebraska,  and  three  in  California,  or  five 
factories  in  our  land  Three  years  ago  one 
factory  was  erected  in  Bay  City.  The  next 
year  factories  were  built  in  Alma,  Caro, 
Rochester,  Holland  and  Benton  Harbor, 
and  this  year  thirteen  factories  will  be  in 
operation. 
Is  it  reasonable  to  expect  that 
this  infant  industry  in  three  years  shall  so 
compete  with  the  giant  sugar  trust  as  to 
compel  the  general  reduction  in  price  of 
commercial  sugars ?  Give  the  eggs  time  to 
hatch  and'the  chickens  to  grow 
If  left  to 
the  natural  laws  of manufacturing  industries 
I  feel  confident  that  within  five years  refined 
sugar  will  be sold  in  our  groceries  for  5c  a 
pound. 
inevitable  competition  of 
factory  with  factory  and  of  all  the  factories 
with  the  sugar  trust  will  compel  a  marked 
reduction  in  price. 

The 

I N C I D E N T AL  B E N E F I T S. 

The 

less  obvious, 
benefits  of  the  sugar  beet  industry  are  not 

incidental, 

though 

Fifty  years  ago 

to  be  overlooked.  While  the  price  of  pro 
ducts  is on  the  descending  scale,  the  price 
of  labor  in  our  country  and  age  is  on  the 
ascending  scale.  The  one  costly,  and  ever 
increasing  thing  in  price  in  our  land,  is 
human  toil. 
the  usual 
wages  for  the  common  laborer  was  50  cents 
a  day,  except  in  time  of  harvest. 
I  once 
heard  the  Sir  Oracle  of our  village lay  .'own 
the  law  to  a  group  of  laborers  in  these 
words:  " Fifty  cents  a day  is fair  pay  for  a 
If  a 
man  who  works  from  sun  to  sun 
young  man  earns 30 cents  a day  a id  <-iits  it 
down,  he  will  be  a  rich  man  before  b« dies." 
The  crowd  gave  general  assent  to  these 
words  of  wisdom.  But  the  price  of  labor 
soon  began  to  rise,  and  for  forty  ve,irs  has 
gone  upward  until  it  has  become  impossible 
to  hire  a  man  to  work  from  sun  to  <un  for 
50  cents. 

The  reduction  of  one  cent  a  pound  in  the 
price  of  sugar  is  a  blessed  boon  to  our  peo 
ple.  But  the  retention  of  $100,000,000  a 
year  in  our  country,  through  its  incidental 
benefit,  is  more  significant  still. 
It  is  not 
merely  the  saving  of so  much  money,  but  it 
is  the  increase  of  manufacturing  capital, 
and  this,  poured,  in  good  part, 
the 
pockets  of  those  who  most  need  this  work 
ing  capital.  This  we  hope  to  see  accom 
the  sugar  beet  industry. 
plished 
It  is  not  a  mere  question  of  a  cent  a 
pound;  it  is  a  question  of  building  up  and 
expanding  every  legitimate  industry  in  our 
country.  For 
this  we  ask  the  sympathy 
and  support  of  the  intelligent  public.

We 

have 

from  Mr. 
received 
Hodgman  a  most  interesting  series 
of  articles  on  " T he  First  Harvesting 
Machine  and 
Its  Inventor."  T he 
series  cannot  well  be  brought  within 
the  limits  of  our  columns,  but  we 
give  a  brief  summary  of  the  story 
and  would  refer  the  interested  reader

with  the  librarian. 
R E C O RD 

Mr. 
Hodgman  noticed  an  account  of  the 
great  harvesting  machines  of  Cali 
fornia.  This  started  his  mind 
to 
thinking  of  a  great  machine  which 
in  his  bovhood  he  had  seen  cut  and 
thresh  1,100  bushels  of  wheat  in  one 
inventor  was  Hiram 
day. 
Moore,  a  Massachusetts  man  who 
in  1831  moved  to  Tolland's  Prairie. 
Moore  was  of  an  inventive  turn 
of  mindy  and  urged  on by  a  neighbor 
named  Haskell  he  applied  himself 
to  the  task  of 
inventing  a  machine 
to  cut  grain.  T he  great  difficulty 
lay  with  the  knife  and  various  forms 
were  tried  before  Moore  finally  in 
sickle  with 
scalloped 
vented 
the 
the 
slatted 
finger  guards.  From 
the 
simple  machine 
to  cut  grain, 
enlarged 
invention 
in 
gradually 
Moore's  mind  until 
in  1836  he 
patented  a  complete  harvester. 

Its 

Moore's  great  mistake 

lay  in  not 
the  various  parts  of  his 
patenting 
machine  as  fast  as  they  were 
in 
vented.  This  omission  enabled  Mc-
Cormick  and  others  to  incorporate 
ideas  into  their  inventions,  and  the 
record  seems  to  show  that  no  im 
portant  feature  of  other  machines 
exists  but  can  be  found  in  Moore's 
harvester. 

Moore's  next  step  was  to  build  a 
machine  that  should  not  only  har 
vest  but  also  thresh  the  wheat.  T he 
machine  was  constructed  and  was 
successful;  but  it  was  so  extremely 
heavy  that  it  seems  to  have  inspired 
Moore's  principal  backer,  Senator 
Lyon,  with  extreme  distrust—a  dis 
trust  that  was  warranted  by  the  re 
sult;  for 
finally 
the  small  reapers 
drove  from  the  field  this  tremendous 
affair  which  it  took  twenty  horses  to 
field.  T he  climate

was  seldom  that  the  grain  could  be

just  the  right  condition 
over  a  large  range  of  ground.  He 
spent  his  whole  fortune  and  that  of 
many  friends  in  the  effort  to  perfect 
his  machine,  and  others  reaped  the 
fruits  of  his  labors. 
It  is  right  that

that

send 
she  desires  to  sell  at  a  reduction  on 
the  original  price  a  set  of  Johnson's 
Encyclopedia  (8  volumes)  as  good 
as  new.  T wo  of  the  volumes  can 
be  seen  by  calling  at  the  President's 
office.  Anyone  desiring  the  set  at 
a  bargain  would  do  well  to  write  to 
Mrs.  Townsend. 

Pi of.  Pettitt  tells  us  that  he  not 
like 
infrequently  has  applications 
the  following,  and  that  the  number 
of  men  to  supply  the  places  is  in

Dear  Sir:, 

I  am  desirous  of  se

Some  of  the  professors  at  M.  A. 
C.  have  repeatedly  tried  to  pay  their 
fare  on  the  trolley  car  with  the  yel 
low  cream  tickets  of  the  dairy  de 
partment.  Since 
this  won't  work, 
it  would  be  kind  on  the  part  of  the 
College  authorities 
to  adopt  some 
other  color,  or,  to  induce  the  street 
car  company  to  stop  the  yellow  and 
use  the  blue  or  red.

T he  Eclectic  Society  gave  an 
informal 
their 
rooms  Saturday  night.  T he  rooms 
were 
tastily  decorated  with  green 
house  plants.  Dancing  was  par 
ticipated  in until  eleven  o'clock,  with

by  Mr.  McClure. 
Prof,  and  Mrs.

Hedrick  acted  as  chaperones. 

Prof.  G.  C.  Creelman,  superin 
tendent  of  farmers'  institutes,  Can 
ada,  writes  as  follows: 

Prof.  Hedrick—Dear  Sir:  I  have 
heard  of  the  success  of  your  student 
demonstration  at  your  late  Horti 
cultural  Society  meeting,  and  am 
very  much  struck  with  the  practical 
value  of  it,  both  to  the  audience  and 
to  the  institution  from  which  these 
students  came.  Please  give  me  an 
outline  of  what  was  done,  that  I 
mav  suggest  a  similar  line  for  our 
own  Horticultural  Society  meeting. 
T he  meeting  to  which  Prof.  Creel 
man 
refers  was  held  at  Monroe, 
Mich.,  and  the  demonstrations  were 
given  by the  senior  class  in  horticul 
ture  at  M.  A.  C.

the  pudding,  the  proof  of good  meats  is  in 
the  eating.  A  trial  will  convince  you  that 
you ought  to trade  with  us.
