cent al valorem The fact the duty
tax on sugar has Injured more to the
benefit of the revenues of the gov
ernment and less to the profits t
private parties than any other tax
known to tariff Legislation, may be
stated as the main reason why the
democratic party has never made an
issue against it. Every dollar col
lected from a tariff tax on sugar paid
into the treasury relieves some other
article of even higher necessity in
the economy of life from the imposi
ton of tariff taxation.
During the present fiscal year,
ending June 30,there will be paid by
the treasury $12.3O0,OO0 as bounty
to the producer of sugar, and every
dollar OF this vast sum is first col
lected from those who plant corn,
raise wheat, and engage in all the
various pursuits of labor Nearly
$30,00O.O00 of bounty money has
been handed over to the sugar max.
ers of the country since the law
went into operation, and each year
the sum is rapidly increasing. 1t

not exceed $S,OOO,O0O per year, but
the stimulating influence of such an
enormous bounty was underrated.
