paders of the house said !:

leaders of the house said:
~ think 1t will be admitted by
all candid thinking men, that If this
bill is passed without amendment,
the result will be that all the beet
factories in the United States will
have to suspend operations and go
out of business. We have in the
United States II beet sugar factories.
They produced this year in round
numbers something more than a
half million tons of sugar
''Mr. Lenroot, a strong progress
sive and one of the most brilliant
men in the house said in part on this
measure; in support of an amend
ment to leavy a duty of one cent per
pound:
"'Mr. Chairman, | have voted Tor
| q number of tariff bills since the
democratic party came into power
| In this house, bills proposed by the
democratic majority, but Mr.. Chair
man, / have never voted for a tariff
| bill that in my Judgment would
strike down single American In
dustry in the United States. And
because, Mr.. Chairman, 1t Is shown
by all the information at hand that
this bill, now pending, If enacted
into law, will strike down the beet
sugar industry in the United States.
|! / cannot support the bill
"By passing such a measure the
consumer might get sugar a little
cheaper for the first year, but as
soon as the experts that operate the
factory had gone, and the farmers
had turned to other pursuits than
raising beets, as soon as the fac
tories had fallen into decay. the re-
timers in my judgment would raise
the price Of cane sugar higher than
1T Is today. Suppose for instance
that by legislation you could wipe
out one-fourth Of all the wheat
raised in this country, II otner Things
remained as they are, don't you
suppose the demand for wheat would
be much keener and that the price
would be higher, SO in my iudg-
ment it would ultimately be with
sugar.
