The United States and her Colonies q,
the Philippines and Cuba, produced,
three years ago, 100000 tons of
sugar: they produce more than that to-
day, in spite of Cuba's deficit. The
rest of the world produce 100000
tons. and sells goodly proportion to
the United States. What the people
need TO save their industry from de-
struction is specific duty on all inn
ported sugar, with an additional dis
eliminating duty from countries paying
an export bounty equal to that duty.
To attain this end sugar producers all
over the United States, with their vast
contingency of foundrymen, railroad
systems, commission men and banks
whose capital iloats-as it were-large-
ly in molasses, have prepared to make
"A strong fight in Congress for the pro-
lection of this industry.
1t is an interesting fact that sugar
cane in the Philippines came from Ota-
heita and Java. With unfavorable in
dustrial conditions, and methods of cul-
ture and OF manufacture little advanced
from the primitive, save upon few
plantations, sugar has long been one of
the chief articles of trade Spain has
discouraged by every possible restric-
tIon, tax and tariff, the export of Phil
ipplne products to any other country.
Nevertheless, in 1897 the United States
imported from those islands 1888, 40
of products, of which sugar constituted
342,540 piculs of 40 pounds each.
SPANS trade in the same season amount
ed to 100000
