THE SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY.
It Should Take Possession of the
Domocratic Party and Con
trol It.
Biblical ijecordter..
Let us say in tle outset that if the
opportunllity we are to dkisellss were
a partisli oppimofrtunlity, we shoild not

and for ih at reasmn we will discuss it

Th'le opportunity for Smuthern Dvem

is the opporhtiti(y of Soutlhern Deimo

t is a hope that tle Brussels convention,
which abolished bounties on beet-sug
zar production, will not be renewed,
, owing to the fact that its effect has
been to increase the price of sugar to

t bounties were paid by the German, U

of England's assent to the renewal
of bounties, it will strike the average
Britisher as absurd. A num
ber of British colonies are dependent
upon cane sugar for their solvency,
3 and will appeal to imperial sentiment G
3 for continued protection against boun
ty-fed rival.,. Their industry has re- U
vived materially since the Brussels
convention came into operation. In
Cuba a great revival of cane-sugar
production has been recorded, through
plienomenal rains and low prics some Sr
months ago discouraged small plan
ters. The beet-sugar industry of the tO
United States, according to a recent
report of the department of agricul
tui'e, is growing and during the pres- J.
cnt year the production of beet-sugar
west of the Mississippi will be 783,
200,000 pounds and will exceed, it N
is estimated, the cane-sugar output
west of the river. In 1905 there were S.
52 beet-sugar factories in operationc
consuming 2,665,913 toris of beets and
- producing 312,920 short tons of sugar
