y arraigning the so-called sugar trust
and urging a material reduction In
the duty on refined sugar, Mr.. Clay
OF Georgia, today discussed at great
length the various phases of the beet
and cane sugar industries. He ar
gued that the consumer is discrimin.

Sugar Refining company and that the
sugar grower gets no benefit Of the
dlferential between the duties on
raw and refined sugar He criticised
most severely the manner In which
the sugar schedule of the Payne bill
was framed
Contending that the American Sug.
ar Refining company owns the princi.
pal refineries N the United States and
is almost without competition In ra.

the duty on refined sugar almost pro.
hibits the importation of foreign sugar
into this country. He said that the
beet grower and the cane grower IL
sugar both are compelled to sell ia
the sugar trust at the price which IL
| fixes. Comparing the wholesale price
lof granulated sugar in Hamburg and
A.Ol
cents per pound cheaper in Ham burg,
Mr. Clay figured that the American
consumer pays a difference Of $136..
0S0,000 for It's refined sugar. OF this,
he said, the government gets $53,O00..
900 in customs duties, while, he said,
the sugar trust gets the other $50, ,O00,.

To como down to the facts, Ketchels
chances OF Victory against the colored
man are very slim. Johnson may not
be good enough To defeat Jim Jeffries
when tho time comes. but he was good
enough 10 play with Kaufman. and his
showing was such as to mako him a
cinch almost with Kctchel.
In tho first place. Kctchol is far too
small and far too open a fighter TO ever
hope TO make a stand against the tow
ering black. Unless he develops a new
style he VIII never get within striking
distance OF johnson. and In the event
that ho starts one OF his wild shifts
and misses his doom Is scaled then
and there. for Johnson has shown that
ho seldom ovcrlooks an opportunity.
While Ketchers chances appear very
slim. however. orc has to admit that
the Michigan boy will probably mako
a better showing against the colored
man than did Kaufman. Ketchc, is n
far more aggressive fighter than the
big, numbering Californian. and he Is
more willing to take chances
