Miller when interviewed. Stocks are

the pig iron situation is good. If prices

There have been two or three triiling

HAVE WRONG POLICY
Proposed Democratic Tariff VIII
Not Help Consumer.
Provision for ~Free Raw Sugar" 10
Based on Insecure Foundation
Foreign Growers Alone viii
Sc Benefited.

The senate has reached the key
stone OF the arch erected By the max
ers of the Woodrow Wilson tariff bill,
and the feature for which Chairman
Underwood of the ways and means
committee has publicly unloaded re-
sponsibility upon the White House.
That is the provision for free raw
sugar" in three years. On this provi-
sion the administration mas virtually
staked its prestige in tariff making.
The theory OF free raw sugar" is
that to take OF the tax on Imported
sugar win make sugar cheaper to the
consumer" That theory might be ten
able and true If the worlds production
of sugar had ever yet reached the vol
ume that would supply the demand for
sugar at prices that all could AFFORD TO
pay.
II is neither tenable nor true be
cause that point has never yet been
reached. The peoples of the earth
have always wished. and wish today,
to eat more sugar than they can afford
to buy.
1t follows that the true policy is to
encourage the production of sugar In
this country, as it has been encour-
aged by Republican tariffs. With thu
growth of the domestic industry sugar
has declined in price. As methods are
improved il will go still lower-unless
the domestic industry is crippled by
taking away the protection it still
needs against cheaper labor and lower
standards of living in other sugar
growing countries.
As the facts stand. the beneficiarles
of free raw sugar" will be foreign
growers and the refiners of the Allan
tic and Pacific coasts. who will absorb
the present import duty between them.
The consumer will benefit little. II
at all, and certainly not permanently.
For with the Gripping OF the domestic
industry sugar supplies win be re
duced.
The two Louisiana senators have
left their party on proposal which
threatens the leading industry Of their
state with destruction. Tho Repub-
licans are lighting hard to defeat It,
realizing that II they can knock this
keystone out of the Woodrow Wilson
tariff arch they will have scored u
great point.
The next few days will determine
whether President Wilson's tariff pro-
gram will get through congress as II
came from the White House or will
have to be seriously modified on less
doctrinaire and more practical lines.
