ASK AN UNTAXED
SUGAR BOWL
Fin1 tariff reform commit
tee of liie Reform club in New
York lias i'-morf an open letter
to Congress which cites some
interesting statistics regarding
the duty on sugar, now so
prominent on the national leg
islative program. The New
Yorkers are for free sugar,
without the reduction and the
wait of three years proposed in
the administration’s tariff sch
eme. They point out how the
duty at present is approximate
ly 2 cents to the cost of every
pound of sugar consumed in
this country. That amounts to
a tax of about 88 on Hie sugar
bowl of every family in the
United States. The. total levied
because of ihe duty is §150.
000.000 a year. The amount
received as duty on sugar wa«
852,000,000 in 1911. In other
words for every $3 the consum
er pays in sugar duties the gov
ernment gets 81 and the sugar
refiners and growers get 82.
The protection accorded to
our -sugar growers is figured
a- 811.323,200 to cane and
822.046,400 to beet raisers.
Hawaii, Porto Rico the Philip
pines and Cuba come in for a
hoiit 8*6,000,000. We spend
about 8400,000.000 a year on
'Mgar and §156,000,000 for
duties It is asserted that,
from a protectionist standpoint
free sugar is desirable. The
sugar industry gave employ
ment to 13.520 people in this
country in 1000. There were
104.006 employed in canning,
preserving and confectionery
manufacturing. It is contend
ed that the latter force would
be doubled within a few years
if sugar were on the free list.
.Meantime every one who uses
sugar also would profit by re
duced prices.
