Gives Interesting Statement
on Sugar Trade.

Just before sailing for Europe
last week John Arbuckle, the
sugar refiner and coffee manu-
facturer, issued a statement at
lacking the tariff on raw sugar
and asserted that it is wicked
tax for the benefit of the beet
sugar interests. Mr.. Arbuckle
says that he proposes to devote
all!of his time ability and strength
to the abolition Of all import du-
ties on raw sugar. AS he says
"It is q wicked tax on a good
necessity of all our people. 1t
taxes the man who works for a
wage Of a dollar d day as much
as it taxes an Astor, a Morgan
or Rockefeller.
''If as someone has said sugar is
the comfort of old age and the
delight of youth, your Uncle Sam
is engaged in taking candies
from children, the height of
meanness. The duty on raw sug-
ar is rs per cent of its value"
"You will be surprised to COM
pare the import duties on sugar
with others:
Sugar 1887 per cent,
Automobiles 40 '' 6
Pearls 20 :" +"
Diamonds 10 :"
Everywhere the beet sugar
manufactures take advantage o.
the tariff tax, and the result ii
that the people of the United
States pay the tax to the govern
ment on the cane sugar, and thu
beet sugar barons on the bee
sugar. The saving to the Amer
lean people of the sugar consum
ed last year, it the tax was re
moved, would amount TO $3.50,
