Ex-Congressman John De Witt War- ! ocr is one of the best posted men in this ' country on sugar tariffs. When in cou- ! giess, he carried the house for free sug1 nr. In a recently published statement j he estimates the net protection to the trust given by the Aldrich schedule at from 85 cents tp $1.14 on every 100 pounds of refined sugar. Without attempting to give bis arpn- , meut as to each of tho ways iu which i the trust would be protected we give bis summary of trust profits as follows: i J Bpedflc differential lU(94Q.40-r , Thirty-five per cent ad valorem differential 0. 0.21 Countervailing duty, say 0-0>j$ O.iiS 1 Additional by substitution of 73 per cent ad valorem for specific duties in low grades 0.09? 0.13 j Total ?O.S8@S1.14 j j In tho vast majority of cases, however, th? ; ictual result i* between 43 and *40 cents per 100 ( ! pounds net protection to th? trust, and it is ; i Iranrncticable so to combine circumstances as . ; to bring this below 4b cents or above 6b cent# for any considerable amount. As an item of tariff taxation tbe sugar schedule is id$al from the protectionist standpoint Sugar is tbe odo article ! used by poor and rich to an equivalent extent, and a tax on which therefore falls most heavily on the poor in proportion to their ability to pay it Its production and distribution are control- i led by a concern which ia at once tbe greatest of our mean trusts and tbe meanest of our great ones. It ia consistent therefore that on this one article there should be levied more than one-tbiTd of our total tariff taxa! tioo, and that our people should be burdened by a tax of more than $90,000, 000 that realises less than $70,000,000 far the treasury and more than $20,000,000 for the sugar refining combine, while tbe same com bine is enabled to net an additional $10,000,000 by tbe opportunity given it to import at present duty rates raw sugars from which it can make reonea to De soia oj it oauer the enhance J price assured it by the proposed Aldrich schedule. The net "protection" of from 46 to 60 centi per 100 pounds given the trust on its refining process alone should be considered as sufficient when we remember that the labor cost of this process is slightly | less than cents per 100 pounds?that is to say, Senator Aldrich, in behalf of American labor, proposes unduly to tax I wage earners in order to give the trust from five to seven times as much "protection" as it pays for all the labor involved. Next to the wage earner the fanner ia dear to the protectionist heart, and he is therefore equally favored by the ( sugar schedule. Of late years through- I out the eastern and middle and many of | the central states the competition of the | far west has driven our farmers from grain raising into fruit culture. This * J- 1?J 4nr JD&H DOW BO UUWiujJCU iuov ?v. exports of canned goods?jams, preserves, eta?in which we ought to supply the world, the business of fruit raisI ing has. in its turn, become almost profitless. And poverty is now assured to those who are dependent upon fruit culture by the proposed tax of two cents a pound on sugar This intveases by from 60 to 75 per cent tbe article j whioh would make up from 40 to 76 per cent of tbe total weight of tbe jama, eta, tbe export of which might insure living prices for tbe surplus fruits, but which is now praotically prohibited. And this is "a government of the people, by tbe people and for tbe peo- | pla" Who are "the people?"
