How does the prevailing wage rate
in our beet sugar districts compare
with those of our colonial possessions
the sugar of which competes directly
with the home grown products?
The prevailing wage rate in our beet
sugar districts runs from $1.5O to $3.50
per day, or from $39 to s65 per month
In Hawaii it is Sls per month, in Porto
Rico SIG per month and in the Philllpp-
ines, 20 cents day or IS. 20 per month.
What is the condition of the sugar
industry in our colonial possessions.
how much sugar do they produce and
where is it marketed?
1t is prospering as never before,
their annual output having doubled
since annexation and free entry to our
protected market. In--I9O0-0l, they
produced 45O, 900 long tons, in lOl0-ll
it will be about 655, 900 tons, distributed
as follows: Hawaii. 485, 900 tons; Porto
Rico, 800, 900 tons; Philippines, ITO, 600
tons. BY reason of their sugar being
granted free entry to our market prac-
tically all of it comes to the United
States. The remission of the $l.685
duty per 100 pounds on thsse sugars
serves as bounty and amounts to
$36, 600, 900 year.
