Overview

Excerpt from Beet-Root Sugar and Cultivation of the Beet The experience of Europe in the failure of their supply of cotton, caused by the late war, should teach the United States not to depend too exclusively upon foreign countries for her supply of so necessary an article as Sugar, of which the consumption is about tons, while the production of all kinds within her borders is less than tons; leaving tons to be imported. In case of war with a great maritime power, like England or France, which would, in part at least, prevent importation, sugars would necessarily advance enormously. The emancipation of slaves in the only remaining strongholds of slavery - Cuba and Brazil (which is simply a question of a very few years) - would prob ably, at first, as it has always done elsewhere, diminish the production of sugar in those countries at least fifty per cent. If such should prove to be the case, as this pro duction exceeds tons, the diminution would make so serious an inroad upon the ordinary supplies of the world that prices would materially advance.
