A BRITISH VIEW OF THE
UNITED STATES SUGAR
TARIFF.
Extracts taken from an Article
in The International Sugar
Journal.

The Committee Of Ways and
Means Of the House of Represen
tatives il now hearing evidence
on tariff questions and. January
18th. devoted seven hours to the
sugar tariff. This was rather n
small allowance Of time for such
a big subject. involving questions
of life and death in some quart
ers of the sugar producing world.
The Sugar Planters in Louisiana.
for instance, are in great jeop-
ardy; SO. to a less extent. is the
beetroot sugar industry in the
States. Cuba can live without
preference. and even flourish. So
probably cam Porto Rico. They
say that in the Hawaiian Islands
some estates and factories could
not face free competition in spite
Of the projection of their indus
try. The most important ques-
ton. however. for the Govern
ment to consider is the position
of the indigenous industry in Lou
isiana and the beetroot industry.
The loss Of the beetroot& industry,
on even the crippling Of such
wide spread and beneficient cultl-
walton would he a serious matter
and should not be dealt with in
any off hand fashion Its benefit
TO the farmers. and still more TO
the land. IL not to he lightly disre-
garded AS to Louisiana. the case
Is different. The industry Of
cane sugar cultivation in that
semi-tropical region would find it
difficult to compete on equal terms
with the rest of the world But
to say that therefore II must 90
would be not only cruel but I'm.
wise. An old established indus
try should not be thrown over in
any srch d-blooded way.
Probably more Statesmanlilse
policy viii eventually prevail. II
is the custom Of those attacking
the present schedule TO treat each
of the domestic producers indl-
vidually and to endeavor to show
how each. considered alone. has
no economic claim to continued
pi otectiun. The question takes
far different aspect when their
combined production is consider
ed. coupled with the fact that
they are competing against each
other. Here is a lesson for some
IF our armchair economists. who
have no idea Of the many real
facts with which the professors %
economic science ought to be
before they dogmatizr.

progressing in a most promlslne
manner In II le section.
A considerably increased 40
reage IN cnlton viii be put III and
urcpnrailons are now being made
TO plant the tieecy staple. Al
though the boil weeviIs have done
SO much damage TO cotton ~ re
cent years. the farmers here arc
determined to try cotton again.
as they have learned. that by
planting early and quick grow
ing varieties. they may clrcum-
vent the weevil.
Corn is being planted and an
increased acreage will be put ~
the ground. Rice is also being
attended to with every prospect
that a full acreage will be needed.
The sugar cane has all been
planted and the general report
is. that the seed cane was good.
The late rains have delayed
farm work to some extent, but
they have helped the growth OF
the fall plant and the stuhble.
The general report, through
out this section is. that the crop
Of cane has SO far made a very
good start and the outlook for
1913 is promising, provided no
untOward event occurs. A few
days Of clear and warmer wealth
err will greatly improve general
conditions. Peach. plum and
pear trees are blooming freely.
