S. Fl. Bethea.
II is well understood that the presi-
dent is not to announce any appoint
ment until congress is convened in
December, but it is also pretty well
understood that his mind is about
made up on the appointment.

But in addition to this rebate,
which is only small part of the
profits of the sugar trust, it adds
the amount of the tariff to the
cost of each pound of sugar
produced in the United States,
the Hawaiia islands and Porto
Rico, for it is this same sugar
trust that owns every sugar mill
that is operating in this country.
Here, then, are the people of
the United States compelled to
pay mostly into the pocket of
the sugar trust, for it virtually
has monopoly of the sugar
business in this country, $1.90
on each hundred pounds of sugar
consumed. In other words, the
people of this blessed country
are compelled to hand over to
the sugar trust 127 million dollars
per annum in order to get little
more than so million dollars in
j to the United States treasury.
! What would you think of a
man in private business who
would enter into an arrangement
with another man by which he
would agree to give tho other
man 1927 for every $50 that the
other man turned back to him?
You would Immediately say that
any fool who would do that
ought to be locked up in a crazy
! house or an imbecile asylum at
once and d guardian appointed
to take charge of his estate be-
fore the fool wasted all be had.
And yet that is what the people
of the United States are dong,
For the sake o getting about 81
or SO million dollars in revenue
they are contributing to the
sugar fefiners, which means the
sugar trust. the enormous sum Of
|127 million dollars per annum.
If the government needs reVe-
nue., and every body admits that
it does, and must raise it on
sugar, it could place an internal
revenue tax Of less than d cent
. per pound on all sugar consumed
in the United States, take eff
the tariff entirely. raise as much
revenue as is raised from the
sugar duties and save to the peo-
pie of this country the sum Of
70 million per annum. The price
of sugar could be reduced to the
consumer / cent per pound and
the government would still have
as much revenue as it has under
the present arrangement.
This is tax that falls especial
ly on the poor. Poor mems
families are the big families. 1t
is no uncommon thing for a poor
man to have eight children.
That means 10 in the family who
consume in the aggregate IT'S
pounds of sugar in a year. The
contribution of that poor mans
family to the sugar trust is ST. IS
per annum.
And why should the people of
this country be called on to con
tribute 70 million dollars per an
mum to this gang of convicted
robbers? Why should they put
up l27 million in order to get so
million dollars of revenue?
The only reason we can think
of at present is that they have
not yet got generally into the
fact that they are being robbed.
