the price is determined by the
English market, just as is the price
of wheat.
The countries of the world dump
their surplus sugar stocks on Eng
land, and the price of sugar there
is less than anywhere else on the
globe.
The price of sugar in other ooun-
tries is approximately the English
price, plus the cost of transporta-
ton, plus the tariff and import du-
ties levied by those countries.
WORLDS PRICE OF SUGAR.
1t stands to reason, therefore,
that any country which can pro-

at the English price can success
fully meet the competition of the
sugar-making world.
Now, what is that English or
worlds priceY
The price for period of ten
years has huctuated between S3 20
and $3.50 per 100 pounds.
OF course, Senator Patterson ia
not going to contend that the Gu
ban will sell his sugar in New York
for 81 &c when he can get 3.2O or
$3.50 for it in England,
The German beet sugar maker
does not hesitate to enter the Eng
lish market and meet the competi-
ton of the Cuban and East In
dian. In fact the latter plead for
protection" against the aggressive
German.
Germany has abolished its boun-
ties. 1t has tariff for revenue
only of 53 cents, and it exports vast
quantities of sugar.
CAN WE COMPETE?
If Germany can compete with
the cane sugar of the world, what
is to prevent the United States
doing the same thing?
Absolutely nothing, so far as |
have been able to discover from an
exhaustive study of all the facts
submitted by the authorities on
both sides of the sugar debate.
The German factories pay as
much for the beets as does the
American factory, and in addition
it gives the German farmer free
seed and 40 to 60 per cent of the
pulp.
The German factory pays more
for it's power or fuel than does the
American factory, especially in the
west.
The American labor cost exceeds
the German, but that is small
item, for according to the sugar
men the labor cost of producing
100 pounds of sugar in this coun-
try does not exceed fourteen cents.
The German cost is less, but the
difference is trifling perhaps five
or six cents per 100 pounds of
sugar-and is more than made up
by the advantages enjoyed by the
American factories.
The fact is that up-to-date Amer
lean factories, economically man
aged, should be able to produce
refined beet sugar for from $3.50
to $2.7O per 100 pounds without
reducing the price paid the farmer
for his beets.
With the worlds price of sugar
ranging from 50 20 to $3 GO, an am
pie margin is left for generous div
idends on the capital actually in
vested.
DIVIDENDS ON wATERED STOCK.
The Great Western Sugar com
pany in five years paid dividends
on watered stock and accumulated
surplus of S9,0O0,OOO. The Amer
lean Beet Sugar company, capital
lied for four times the value of its
plants, earned in 1911 40 per cent
on its real capital, according to the
report in front Of us. The Michi-
gan Sugar company trebled the
value of its stock in little more
than year, and made almost
enough money from its by. products
TO pay its dividends.
Should the American people be
taxed 100000 a year in order
that greed and ineflicienoy may
continue to pay dividends on

Mountain News of Sunday, May
IL, containing an article by Sena.
tor l. M. Patterson on why Free
Sugar Would Cripple Colorado's
Great Industry"
For weeks the hired men of the
sugar trust have besieged the
offices of Senators Thomas and
Shatroth pleading and cajolng
with them to enter into a combina-
tlon with the sugar senators from
Louisiana for the purpose of block
ing the Democratic tariff revision
program. Apparently they received
little or no encouragement.
am discussing the matter
frankly, because believe the peo-
die of Colorado should understand
the situation.
If Senators Thomas and Shat
roth should follow Senator Patter-
sons advice and Join forces with
the Louisiana senators, the tariff
will not be revised at this session.
There are 96 members of the SEN
ate 80 Democrats and 45 Repub
licans. If four Democratic sena-
tors desert their party, the protec-
tionists will control the situation
and no tariff bill will be passed
which does not conform to the
views of the sugar trust and the
woolen trust.
PATTERsoN's POSITION.
Senator Patterson endeavors to
prove that "the very lowest price
for which American beet sugar can
be made is $2.70 per 100 pounds,
and the highest cost of Cuban
cane sugar, including refining
charges, sl.66 per 100 pounds"
Basing his conclusion on this
statement of fact, he argues that
the American beet sugar industry
cannot survive if the tariff is re-
duced below one cent per pound.
THE SENATOR'S GRAVE ERRORS.
But the senator has permitted
himself to fall into some grave
errors, in my judgment.
In the first place, the cost of
production does not always deter
mine the selling price of an arti-
Gle of general use, The law of
supply and demand is the most
potential influence.
Let us take familiar example.
The cost of producing a bushel of
wheat in the great wheat fields of
North Dakota and Minnesota is
scarcely more than half what it is
in less favored sections of the ooun-
try. But the wheat raiser in Min
nesota and the Dskotas does not
drive the Illinois farmer out of the
wheat business. Both men sell
their wheat in the same market at
the same price.
This price is fixed, not in Mime
sofa, the Dakotas or Illinois, but
in Liverpool-the worlds market,
where the United States, like the
rest of the world, disposes of it's
surplus stock of wheat.
And men stay in the wheat bust
ness just 30 long as they can raise
wheat and make money out of it
by selling it at this world price.
Now, there is world price for
sugar, like there is for wheat, and
