Cd industry 10 destroyed, the co.,
ssmer will become the victim Of
higher prices. He says;
That putting sugar on the free list
will make sugar cheaper In the end,
10 open to challeng.; for should free
sugar destroy or seriously cripple the
American sugar industry, the last
condition 1T the consumer may he
worse than the first.
And then he odds:
But I make no issue ON this point,
only the future can determine it,
This saving clause does not save.
II it is not intended o. On argument
it not be advanced 1t is merely .
speculation and betrays the extent
to which Mr.. Patterson has allowed
his advocacy of this particular in
dustry to lead him into the language
employed by the Protectionist.
The purpose of this editorial, now
ever, 10 to combat the concl usion
which he presses upon the senators
from Colorado. He saws:
Our Senato ors should, il seems to
me, stand side by side with the two
senator's from Louisiana. they should
insist that the sugar schedule he TAX
en- up and disposed of by itself
He then proceeds to say that the
tariff 10 being revised in a lump, TO
intimidate weak That is an un-
fair impeachment of the purpose Of
the party and of the motives Of the
president. He concludes:
United states Senators are elect
ed by the psople. They must even be
nominated in an open primary. Pat
ronage and White Housf favor will
not take the place of service patrioti-
eally and faithfully performed
This is an injustice to Senators
Thomas and Shafroth. He does .
wrong 10 the senators in suggesting
that their support of the bill will be
due to patronage and White Hosse
favor. 1t is. in effect, an attemp 10
impose q different course Of sctiop
upon them under the threat tha.
they viii not be copsidered patriotic
or faithful of their duties as senators
aniese they take Mr.. Patterson's I'D
vice on the subject
