WASHINGTON T T
Clyde II. Tavenner.

I'll the American sugar industry
with the amount the duty ON
sugar costs the American people
annually, and we pick up the
clue explaining why, despite the
presence Of the sugar Hobbies in
Washington, the 2-cent tariff tax
is to be removed from sugar.
Exclusive of land and farm
animals (Which can be used in
other farming operations the to-
tel investment in sugar in the
United States is about 100000
OO0. For the benefit of the few
men owning this industry, the
American people are taxed an
nually in the increased price of
sugar $40, 100000, or $780,
600 more than the total sugar in
ycstment. 1t is also $40,O0O.0 900
nore than the total annual value
of the American sugar crop in
Gliding its by-products.
To the individual this tax a.
mounts to $3.50 or an annual
charge of $3.50 on a family of
average size.
Since 1897 the protection to
the sugar industry has cost
American consumers two thous-
end million dollars. But if the
public got value received for this
sunni revenue to defray the
cost of government-there would
net be so much complaint. But
the actual duty collected in 16
years has been only $8O0,OO0,O 600.
The balance, 81, 200, 0OO,O has
been a bonus pure and simple
W1ung from the poor to create a
new group of American mill
ionaires.
Leaving aside the principle
that sugar as a prime food ne
cessity should come untaxed to
the American public, the prOduc-
ton of cane sugar in this coun-
t~y is IN artificial, unnatural
Industry. There are two types
of sugar productiOn-from sugar
bcets, grown in many sections of
the country, and from sugar cane,
grown along the gulf coast of
Louisiana and Texas. 1t is pos
sible, indeed probable, that beet
sugar production has now pro
g'tsstd to a point where it can
be called a natural industry. If
so, it does not need protection in
order to survive. But there is
nc natural justification for cane
sugar production in the United
States.
1t is possible to grow bananas
and tea in New England in hot
Yet not even the most
protectionist would advo-
a prohibitive duty on bana-
mas or tea, raising the prices Of
these foods ten times above what
they are now, in order that tea

England.
In a somewhat smaller degree

These are the words Of Grover
Cleveland He was referring to
the tariff lobbies which prevent
ed the Democratic party from
living up to its campaign prom
is2s of 1892.
President Wilson no doubt had
IN mind what the lobbyists did to
the Wilson democratic tariff
LII in the Senate in 1894 when
he recently denounced the lob
bies operating in Washington.
A review of what happened to
the last Democratic tariff bill as
a result Of the work of the lob
bies while the measure was in
the Senate, is especially interest
ing at this time when special
privilege is trying to perform the
Same old trick of robbing the
consumers Of the fruits of their
Hictory at the pools.
On December 10, 1893, Chair
lnan Wilson of the Democratic
Ways and Means Committee re-
ported his tariff revision down
ward bill to the House of Repres-
entatiyes. 1t was a fulfillment
in nearly every particular of the
Promises made by the democrats
in the campaign of 1892, which
brought about their election. AL
though denounced by the more
partisan republicans as a free
trade measure it was in reality
Tut a conservative step in the
direction of free trade, and was
well received by the democratic
party throughout the. country.
It made rather moderate reduc-
tions in the duties on wooden
goods, cottons, linens, silks, pig
iron, steel billets, steel rails,
china, glassware, and earthern-
ware. 1t removed entirely the
taxes on wool, coal, iron ore,
lumber, and on sugar both raw
and refined.
The bill passed the House Feb
ruary l, 1894, by a vote of 1872
to 106, sixty-one members not
voting.
But in the Senate, special

rociously, powerful lobbies being

THE USE OF A BUDGET.

Whether by chance or by prophetic
foresight, President Taft transmits to
congress his budget" message at the
moment when that body offers con-
spicuous evidence of the need of some
regulating influence upon the allot-
ment of expenditures. The situation
Is exemplary. From the House come
bills for executive epenses greater in
the aggregate than ever before in our
history. Probably the Senate makes
additions practically doubling the am
cunt.
1t is matter of record that on We'd
nesday the senate voted in 20 min
utes $1SO,312,000, without discussion
except upon an insignificant item of
$4,000, and without roll call; the sun
dry civil bill was Increased by more
than s5,OOO.OOO, raising the figures of
the House to $11S,525,000. Altogether
the senate, supposedly the conservative
body added some SIS, 100000 to the
magnificent schedule Of the House.
1t is incredible that such methods
should prevail in the face of careful
estimates and needs and resources
presented in an official budget"
Over-appropriation of the general
fund has been authorized, so far as
the action Of congress may go, by more
than $722,5O0, 900. Deducting air that
may be available from the sinking
fund. there remains more than $780,
100000 for which there Is no money
In hand.

TRY SOME OF THIS
a GRAVEYARD.

What has made the office of mayor
of New York a political graveyard? :?
Why does it invariably wreck the
public career of every man who at
tains it? This is the most battling
mystery of American politics.
The presidency of the United States
is difficult office, but man after
man leaves it with immeasurably more
reputation than he brought to it.
The governorship of New York is
a difficult office, but it has never been
an obstacle to advancement OF the
former governors who are still alive,
one has been president of the United
States, one has been vice president of
the United States and another is a
justice of the United States supreme
court
But where is the mayor who has
been anything more than mayor?
Where is the mayor who could be
nominated for any other office, much
less elected.
For more than forty years no may
or of New York has ever advanced
one step politically beyond the city
hall. Men like Hewitt and Low
brought brilliant records with them
when they took office, but they car
ried no brilliant records away. Even
their very unusual ability and charac-
ter was not strong enough to stem the
tide of adversely. And now poor Gay
nor is going the way of Mcclellan,
Van Wyck and the rest, chattering
himself blithely into oblivion.
When he was elected we thought
it was a step toward the presidency.
AS it turned out, it was merely COM
plicated method of retiring from the
bench. Even Tammany would not
dream of renominating him. and
twenty years hence Gaynor's name
will be as meaningless as Gilroy's
name is to the present generation.
To be elected mayor of New York
seems to be a form of political sui
eide. We cannot understand why
mayor after mayor has dwindled from
greatness to obscuritg. why man after
man has failed so lamentably to meas
ure up to his opportunities. But set
against all theories are the inexor-
able facts. Not only does each may
or fail, but for his own edification
each mayor SENS to invent a new
method of failure.
And yet as Kipling says, "Once on
time there was a man." Perhaps
there will be another some day, and
New York will be lucky enough to
find him.-New York World.
