There Is a joke concealed in this
little tariff story. according to Mr..
Bryan's Commoner. The task OF tho

decide just whom the joke is on. The
country consumes about three million
tons of sugar a year. OF this amount
100000 tons is imported and 700 900
tons produced at home The home
product isn't worth as much as Ne

the guise OF protecting" the American
sugar raiser the sugar consumers are
taxed about $50 million dollars a year.
Sugar is retailing at about s117 ton.
