Over eight and one-half billion
pounds Of sugar we're required IN
1915 to satisfy the American sweet
tooth.
This brought the nations sugar
bill for the past year up to S5O0,oOo,-
900, representing an amount larger
BY at least hundred million dollars
than the American people ever be-
fore paid.
The cause of the increased size Of
this sugar bill was the European
war. From the very beginning OF
hostilities the cost ofsugar has risen
to high levels the world over.
Due to war influences, also, the
domestic production of sugar which
had fallen off after the passage of
the Underwood tariff law with its
free sugar provision, gained a new
lease of life and reached high rec
ord mark in 1915.
i Though the American householder
had to pay more for sugar last year
than under normal conditions, yet he
had one compensation. Sugar was
cheaper in the United States during
1915 than in any other large sugar
using country in the world.
This favorable price condition was
due to the record domestic produc-

ton of sugar that the war brought
about. The fact that sugar grown
from American soil was larger IN
quantity than ever before, was OF
great service to the American con
sumer. because the competition af-
forded between the homegrown
product and imported sugar sold by
the refiners, resulted in saving in
price that ran into millions OF dol
lars.
Because of this domestic competi-
ton and the la1Ee volume of sugar
homegrown that found its way to
market, prices of sugar to the con-
sumer were held down to far lower
levels last year than would have been
the case if there had been no do
nestle production and this country
