AN |NS|D|OUS FREE
TRADE LOBBY.

Washing ton, April 26th. As
might be expected, Democrats in
Congress have been very much
embarrassed by recent disclosures
regarding the "slush fund" raised
by Italian lemon importers for
the purpose OF Influencing tariff
legislationin thiscountry in1913.
At the very time when Presid-
ent Wilson denounced as an
''insidious lobby the business
men OF the United States who
were in Washington endeavorinR
to prevent legislation for the
benefit OF foreign producers. the
lemon trust OF Italy was spending
ST 40 900 TOR The PURPOSE of
destroying the protective tariff
on lemons to the injury of lemon
producers in Florida and Califor-
MIA, and for the benefit of lemon
producers III Italy. President
Wilson drove away from Wash.
ington the business men who
were advocating America hrst'
but he had nothing to say in
criticism OF the men who were
spending money to promote Italy
first.
The Democratic Congress passed
and President Wilson signed the
legislation desired by the lemon
producers OF Italy and opposed
by the lemon onproducers OF A merica.
This legislation was passed on
the theory that it would give the
American consumer lemons at "A
lower price. 1t had no such effect.
1t merely transferred large part
of the market to Italy, while
California lemon growers found
it difficult to sell their crop at a
living price. The middle. man,
who bought his lemons in Italy,
merely made a larger profit and
retaIled the lemons to the consun-
er at the same old price.
The need of Ell import duty on
lemons was demonstrated by
Senator Works, of California. in
an address before the Senate ~
few days ago, Senator Works
showed that even with the
Republican tariff of 12c a pound,
foreign growers were able to
compete with American producers
and the government received a
revenue of about 100000 a
year. The Underwood law reduc
ed the duty to 12c a pound. this
small measure of protection
!; probably being retained because
lemons are produced in Florida,
one of the States of the Solid
, South.
When the Democrats were about
to pass their bill retaining the
, duty on sugar, which is largely q
: product of the Gulf States, Seno,
tor Works moved an amendment II
placing duty OF 1c per pound or
lemons. He argued that lemons
and sugar often 60 together and
, this is the time when they should
not be separated. Needless tc
say the Democrats defeated hi.
, amendment, but in doing so the !
impressed more firmly than eve
upon the minds OF the Americat
. people the fact that it was a tor
, eign importing organization thai
: secured the tariff reduction fOI
the benefit of foreigners and tln
