Congratulo a La Cronica' y

un peri6dico limpio de caracter y
lleno de noticias interesantes.
En- tiempos pasados, otros perio-
distas atenidos a costumbres an
tiguas, dedicaban mucho espacio
a noyelitas y articulos largos y
sin chiste. Lo que hoy Sc requie-
re es la brevedad. La lucha para
la e~xistencia no permite dedicar
mucho tempo en- leer sermones
largos. Noticias de todas parties

REVENUE FOR WAR
Reimposition Of Sugar Duty
Would Be PoIitic.
Reductions Under the New Tarlff Bill
Have Not Perceptlbly Lowered
Prices to Consumers, While
Country Loses Millions.

The ways and means Of raising
money to carry on contest with
Mexico is the most important question
that congress has to consider. All
sorts Of methods are discussed. In
cluding, Of course, the imposition Of
the old financial levies known as the
Spanish war taxes.
We assume, without question. that
these special taxes will be once more
imposed. Experience showed that
they were easily borne by the people.
were productive of large revenue.
and were popular and efficient war
taxes In every way. But we beg to
suggest. very respectfully, that con-
gress take up seriously the idea of
restoring the duty on sugar that was
needlessly taken of in the last tariff
bill. The cost Of collecting the duty
was trivial. and whether the tariff
rate on sugar was raised or lowered
did not change the price to the con.
sumer one whit.
The first reduction Of the sugar
outy uhuci thc hSW thiih soon S"SSs
On March I. and the larger reduction
does not take effect until May l two
years hence. However. even as It Is.
the proceeds Of our customs duties are
already 327.000.O00 less for the cur
rent fiscal year than they were for
the previous year. and II the entire
reductions on sugar contemplated In
the present law were In effect at this
moment they would cause loss Of
$25 900 900 in addition to the S27.000.-
900 that has already occurred.
In 1912. the last year Of the old
tariff, the revenue from the sugar
duties amounted to little over fifty
million dollars. What possible reason
is there why the government OF the
United States should not be once
more in receipt OF this sum. at least
while the Mexican war lasts? II. as
the administration had apparently an
ticipated. free sugar" had resulted in
a perceptible lowering OF the cost OF
sugar to the family, the case would
be different But no shadow Of the
much-to- be-desired result can be per
oeived even by the most optimistic.
