signature in the last Wing, and inasmuch
as the burden Of his song is that Of.explO.
ded, and most ridiculous of all humbugs-
that high duties make low prices--we will
dispose Of him in few words.
After sneering at our arguments against
the Tariff; with an air Of conscious ability
he promises to "Produce facts" in answer
to them. And to show the nature Of his
facts,'' how well versed he is upon the
subject, and how much reliance may be
placed in bis assertions. we win quote from
his production the following;
Sugar another great article Of con.
sumption upon which an additional duty was
imposed by the tariff Of 1912 did not "a.
vance, but declined in price,"
From this, person ignorant of the sub.
ject, would suppose that sugar had declined
in price, and the Tariff was actually the
cause oft as stated by "A Tarifite." Now,
we VIII expose ms ignorance by testing his
assertion with what is really the FACT, and
produce to sustain us testimony which is
unquestionable, The New Orleans Prices
Current In June 1912, a short time previous
to the passage Of the present Tariff act,
quote sugar at from 2 TO ST CENTS PER LIB.
and in June 1s45 they quote tie same ar
ticle at from Al TO 81 CENTS PER LIB, AND
IT Is NOW QUOTED AT FROM 81 TO I CENTS
PER LIB. "A Tariffite says sugar has
declined in price, and therefore the " add.
tional duty" imposed by the Tariff was the
cause--but we have proven that although
every other article the laboring classespro-
duce for market has fallen, the price of
sugar has become higher; now will he not
have the candor to acknowledge that the
" additional duty" was the occasion Of its
