question, Congressman Harmer, of Penn
sylvania, said that the sugar industry was

a reduction of % per cent, perhaps, but a
cut, as proposed in this bill, would drive
them out of business. Propositions are now
being considered, he says, to bring manufac-
turing plants from Cuba and establish them
in Florida, and there is a widespread interest
growing in the business. A cut of 60 per
cent. would put an end to all this, he says.
