FREE @ FOLLY
SHOULD BE

Congressman Richard W. Austin, of
Tennessee.='Congres should lose no
time in repeating the free sugar folly.
The European war has saved and kept
alive our sugar industry from the first
cut of 25 per cent in the tariff duty
and the anticipation of the total aboli-
ton of the duty. Germany stands first
and Austria third in the list of sugar
producing countries. Prior to the war
twelve beet sugar factories closed
Down on account of the action of Con-
gress, and the Louisiana sugar farmers
were seeking, if possible, the substitu-
ton of another less profitable crop. In
Honolulu / learned of the sale OF a
large local sugar company and planta-
tom to a party of japanese. The ex-
PLANTATION was that the owners knew
that after the close of the wal IN Eu-
rope and the placing of sugar on the
free list on May l, 1916, to compete
with the Cuban sugar planters means
bankruptcy. This is but f%orerunner of
what will happen to this splendid
American industry unless Congress re
peals the free sugar law. If free sugar
permanently remains, the industry in
cur insular possessions will fall into
the hands of aliens, our deserving ped-
ple will be crowded out, and our local
or export trade to Porto Rico, the Ha-
waiian and the Philippine Islands viii
be done by our foreign competitors.
The American people have certainly
paid a fearful penalty for the folly of
eleeting a free-trade theorist to the
Presidency, along with a subservient
Congress ever ready to do his bid
ding"
