Chinese Sugar Cane

A Daily Graphic article discusses sugar costs, noting the U S paid 97 million dollars in gold last year to settle sugar bills in foreign markets. It argues sorghum can be grown nationwide and suggests learning economical processing of its syrup to avoid debt, citing the Rio Grande Sugar Company of New Jersey as a pioneer in crystallizing sorghum juice.

Rio Grande Sorghum Plant in New Jersey Details Operations

The Rio Grande company owns 3,000 acres near Cape May on the West Jersey railroad with 975 idle. Amber and orange sorghum stalks reach twelve feet, planted in May, amber maturing in three months yielding about 12 percent sugar and orange in four and a half months yielding 13 12 percent. 150 workers process cane using six miles of track hauled by tauls, via steam cranes, through a belt carrier to three large iron rolls. Juices flow to defecators and settling tanks, then evaporators, and finally to Rillieux vacuum pans for controlled boiling. The process uses cream of lime and avoids bone-black, with bagasse used as fertilizer or pig fodder.

Window Tax failures harm glass industry and workers

The piece argues twenty years of a 76 percent window glass tax and protection have damaged U S glass makers, left three quarters of factories idle, driven wages down, and raised imports. It cites Pittsburg dispatches, a Minnesotan broker, and Albert Gallatin to claim protection failed, glass grew scarce and costly, and domestic production declined while foreign patents improved.
