The following graphic description OF working Of sugar
duty given by Alfred Henry Lewis in Human Life in the article
entitled Travelling with Taft:
Here handful Of sugar figures from Payne-Ad-
rich bill: Speaking roundy refined sugar taxed

And III tell you how know and how you may by merely
gancng at what horseace people call the dope Mr. Payne and
his eow-woers in the villain vineyards OF Sugar confessed that
they looked for than S11995s from this pound
upon refined sugar In brief that pound gate
against the importer excludes sugar and was intended to do
YOU the be delivered buced gagged and helpless
into the HavemeyerSprecles hand.
Assuming that protection ght-whicH it isnt-and that
money may be justly taken from be another do
the desne OF the Sugar Trust require this pound Not
all The proof lies open Broadway this that the Sugar
Trust itself Of Having locked the American
door against alien reners by prohbtoy tariff the Sugar Trust
crosses to Europe with its product and fights the foreigner his
own ground How many other Infant industries" export
Europe Scores When infant industry gets 5 big and
strong that climbs the line fence and woaps the ngbor young
those negbors bayads hardly protection
Come back with that question Of sugar protection It
was but few weeks when the Sugar Trust these umn
atng figures Naming that 2ents pound (tar grade sugar

price between export and home just
what protection IS afforded BY the tariff
Here proof enough Of tariff perfdy to hang The
Sugar Trust given protection to the tune OF two cents pound

Consider for that infant industry which

protection much dreamed Of As infant industry
the Sugar Trust hundred and years oa gray and
wrnked babe The present generation the fourth genera
ton This fourth generation inherited its trade of sugar millions

they serve.
No; l say that expect the public heart ahre
can without getting my chair that believe that
taxation synonym riches and that the YOU pay the
richer YOU become able discover upon
Mr. Taft based his Wnona Boston proclamation that the Payne
Adrch law the best measure ever passed
