How the Country Il I'lundered Thr ouzh
the Mckinley Bill.
The Mckinley bill retained a tax on
re fined sugars of half a cent n pound
For the year ending last December
there were imported only 1900, 900
pounds of refined sugar, and there
We're exported over 5000, 600 pounds
There were imported $3.50 O0O 900
pounds OF raw sugar free of tax. The
omparatively small amount of refined
imported shows how fully the sugar
trust controls our m ar<et. The fact that
we export refined sugars shows that no
protection, not even that of half a cent
a pound, is needed. AS revenue tax
it amounts to nothing. AS means Of
plundering the consumers of sugar in
this country its power will be seen by
few facts.
The stock of the sugar trust, still n
trust Notwithstanding its reorganiza-
ton under the flexible laws of New
Jersey, is $4,000, 600, very largely
water. 1t declared quarterly dividen nd
recently of ) per cent. and an extra
dividend of ten per cent A dividend
was paid in January of 81, $50, 900, and
the official statement is made that it
now has a surplus of s., 900, oco. The
thus seen to be about SIG, 900, 600.
These figures are given by the Com
mercial Bulletin, of New York.
The import price of raw sugar is
about 3.37 cents a pound; that of re-
fined l. So, difference of 1.l9 cents a
pound Deducting cents a pound,
the tax, and there remains go cent a
pound, to cover the cost of refining,
which is more than ample. Allowing
for loss in refining, and the tax of half
n cent pound on the quantity i'm
ported nearly equals and accounts for
the abnormal profits of the trust. In
other words, the country is taxed some
SIS, 600, 900 for the benefit of the sugar
trust.-St Paul Globe.
