Iu.t down revenues OF the government
Iabout Sl0.pO0.u0O per annum by
adding the amendment to the Excise
law. which viii tax an incomes over
g.. 600 year one per cent. means
that sG0 600 900 q year will he add
cd 20 the revenues, thus adding not
less than s10.000,o0o per annum
more than was received by the sugar
tax and saving the consumers Of this
country not less than 100000, 900 a
year IN taxes. and compelling the rich
people Of this country to pay that
tax. This Is what I call constructive
craftsmanship and Champ Clark and
tho leaders in the Democratic Hot Sc
of Representatives are responsible for
this piece OF legislation that viii
make a new issue In the coming cam
paign.
The Democrats were very secretive
concerning the sugar schedule until
the night Of the caucus where the
whole thing was sprunc as a sur
prise and unanimously adopted by
the Democrats In caucus as Demo-
.cratic measure with the exception ~
the Democrats from Louisiana and
Colorado. the two big producing sugar
States. one cane sugar and the other
beet sugar
II Is claimed by some that If Tails
bin becomes a law it will ruin ;hc
SUGAR Industries of those two states
and put nearly a half million people
ont Of business In the first place, II
will do no such thing. Il Will cut
down their profits. perhaps, a cent
and half a pound on sugar, which
will 90 into the pockets OF the con-
sumcrs of this country. and at which
the consumers Of this country ought
to b. pleased Even II il all put
that many people out of business,
what is 500 600 people compared to
the interest Of 90 ZOO ana peoplc who
|rse sugar every day on their tables
rs have said previously. this will
save the people of this country not
less than SlO0.0O0.0oo per annum.
Now. Il the duties on raw sugar place
only $50 600. 0oo In revenue into the
TREASURY where does the other $50
O0O. coo come from that will be saved
o. the consumers of this country
Simply from thc rockets Of the sugar
trust and that's an there is % Il. n
