Mr.. Aldrich then submitted state
ments showing the differentials under
varying values of sugar, and resumed.
Under existing law, German refined
receives thirty-eight hundredths of
cent per pound export bounty. The
countervailing duty here is but one
tenth of a cent per pound. The Ger
man refiner, therefore, receives a net
bounty of twenty eight hundredths of
a cent per pound. This enables him to
sell his product at a less price than the
American refiner has to pay for de-
gree centrifugal. 1t is this kind of COM
petition which is driving the cane sugar
producers and refiners of the world to
the wall"
He then replied at length to a state
ment by Hon. William L. Wilson, in.
which the latter estimated the rates i'm
posed by the Senate committees propo-
sition. Continuing. Mr.. Aldrich said:
I'm the tables l have submitted no
allusion is made to the bounty provis-
ions contained in both the Senate and
House propositions. The adoption of
these or similar provisions for coun-
tervailing duties seems to be necessity
if we are to develop the beet sugar in
dustry in the United States. Otherwise
it will be possible for any foreign coun
try, by extension of its bounties, to
neutralize entirely the effect of our pro-
tective duties.
I'm considering the important ques-
ton whether the differential proposed
by either the House or the Senate bill
is greater than it should be, we are
bound in fairness to take into consd-
Grafton existing conditions and the
changes which have taken place since
the enactment of the Act of 1894. When
that Act was under discussion in the
