and July 4 at West Point, N. Y, a
team composed of officers on duty at
the academy played against four men,
members of the Essex County Club.
In both games the West Pointers we're
the victors. The first trial gave the
army men a score, seven to two, for
the club fellows. In the second game
the Essex Club team were three and
one-half to the army players eight
and a half.
A thrilling polo game was played on
June % at Fort Sam Houston, the OPP
posing teams being army officers of
the Third and Fourth Field Artillery.
The award was magnificent set of
cups, donated by the st. Anthony Ho-
tel of San Antonio. The game was
brilliantly played by both teams, with
winning honors going to the Third
Field Artillery, the score being seven
in favor of the Third, five and three
fourths being the mark of the Fourth.
Texas is the home of the finest polo
ponies in the world, but as many of
the best ponies have been exported,
the players and people of that state
have heretofore had little chance of
seeing good polo played. However,
with the stimulation of knowing and
seeing polo played, Texas can be de
pended upon for furnishing more fine
ponies for polo playing in the future.
They have handsome polo fields at
Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
Captain Malvern-Hill Barnum, Eighth
Cavalry, stationed with his regiment

Chronicles Both in his capacity as
a Democrat and as a refner of sugar
the late Henry Havemeyer strongly
advocated the abolition of the duty
on unrefined sugar. Failing in accom-.
>plishing that, the sugar interests
made the best approximation possible
by the methods described in the
United States Court Reports, in the
case known as U. S. VS.. II holes. The
trust never proposed to remove the
duty on refined sugar, which it
seemed to regard as a wise and ben
efcial provision of law.
Since the time when Mr.. Have.
meyer was arguing for the free dd-
mission of raw sugar the trust has
acquired half interests in most of the
] beet sugar factories OF the country,
but it is not supposed that the trusts
interests in beet sugar are large
enough to have produced any change
in it's honest convictions. Sugar re-
finers not interested in plantations in
| Hawaii or the Philippines are presum-
ably in favor of free sugar still.
! The Democratic House of Represen-
] tatives is investigating the sugar tar
if, presumably with the intention OF
! reducing or removing it. Representa-
/ tives of the cane sugar industry in
Louisiana are in Washington plead
! ing with their Democratic friends to
/ stand pat.
What would be the result of the
removal of the duty on raw sugar our
readers can judge as well as we, OBJ
viously there would be the loss Of
$52,S1O995 of revenue collected in
1910, but that could be made good
by an income tax, which is highly Ia.
vored by Democrats.
The United States in 1910 con.
sumed approximately 100000 tons
of raw sugar, derived chiefly from
sources given below:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-07-25
SUGAR DUTY AND THE TRUSTS

less than the duty on other imported
sugar The cost of domestic cane
and beet sugar are not given, because
not known, but they are certainly
very much higher than the cost with
out duties of foreign sugar.
The price at New York is deter
mined by the cost of foreign sugar
laid down and, to the extent of its
power to supply our demand, is deter;
mined by the cost of Cuban sugar,
When the Cuban crop fails to supply
our requirements, price is determined
by the cost of other foreign sugar.
It is clear that if the price of sugar
in New York were fixed by cost Of
foreign sugar imported free OF duty,
our domestic beet and cane sugar
producers would have to go out OF
business, for there is no such margin
of profit as is represented by the duty
even on Cuban sugar
And that, according to the late
Henry Havemeyer, is precisely what
the sugar trust vents, so only that
the differential on refined sugar is
saved to it. Lower prices would in
crease consumption and refiners
would make the same profit per
pound on the increased consumption
that they get now.

The costs in New York are from a

as they averaged last year. The cost
of Hawaiian sugar appears to be what
the cost would be to Hawaiian plant

felt. Many fields that late In July
promised 40 and 80 bushels yield OF
wheat were reduced to rs and 80 bush
els, while some OF course gave the
full expectancy and others somewhat
less. The quality was also lowered.
In face OF these conditions, Il is found
that during the months OF September
and October, the total amount OF con-
tract wheat marketed and inspected
was about 20 million bushels, which
realized total OF 1874 million dollars.
the average price for this wheat be-
ing 97& cents; that below contract
for the two months was a little over
10 million bushels, which at an aver
age price OF s91z cents per bushel
realized a little over eleven million
dollars. or grand total for all wheat
OF 80 million bushels. which realized
a total of a little over thirty-one mill
lion dollars.
On the first OF November. there

average freight rate is not over 10
cts. per bushel. This would make the

as large a profit as the farmer has
every right TO expect. It is a profit
not to b. despised. and which should
leave a very fair amount Of money to
