u. S. Senator Lewis, democrat, of
Illinois, has introduced a resolution
suggesting that the Federal Reserve
Board increase the compensation of
its employees consistent with the SER

New Low Record for Import Duties

For Christmas your Uncle Samuel
received from Mr.. Underwood's near
free-trade tariff law customs revenues
in the sum of $685., 1856. This was on
imports to the value of s3O,799,6 42, or
an average rate of duty for that week
of ST. per cent. These are on imports
entered at the thirteen principal Gus
toms districts of the United States.

ed January /, 1916, was $2,S25, 002 of
customs revenues on S37 1881 1886
worth of imports, or an average rate
of duty for the week of TAG per cent,
the lowest weekly average rate of duty
in our trade history. For the week
ending January 8, 1916, there entered
these same thirteen customs districts
imports to the value of S3S,649,052, on
which the customs revenue was col
lected in the sum of S3,406,456, or an
average rate of duty for the week of
S.S per cent. This marked a new high
record on weekly imports.
The statement of democrats that
imports have materially decreased is
false. Temporarily curtailed at the
outbreak of war, they are now COM
ing in as never before, but they are
imports on the free list, which would
have paid a goodly revenue had they
been subjected to republican rates of
duty. If they can not get adequate
revenues at the ports of the country
to help run the government, the def
icit must be made up by levying direct
internal taxes. Think of this when

U. S. SUGAR CROPS GROW
Domestic Production During Past Year
Largest on Record

The production of sugar from Amer
lean soil during the year just closed
was the greatest in the history of the
industry. This result was due pri-
marily to the situation brough. about
by the war in Europe. Upon the out
break of that struggle it was obvious
that the reduction in the worlds
available supply of export sugar would
lead to higher prices during the per-
iod of the war. This influence not on
ly offset the reduction in the area de-
voted to sugar production in the
United States following the adoption
of the Underwood tariff law, but led
to an increase in acreage over pre-
vious years.
The effect of this stimulus is OBJ
servable in the yield of beet sugar
during the campaign just completed,
while in the case Of the Porto Rican
cane crop the result will become man
fest with the completion of the
grinding season now under way As
it takes practically two years to grow
a crop in Hawaii, the war has not af-
fected the Hawaiian yield. In Louisi-
ana the season just closed has been a
disappointing one, due in part to the
early decentralization caused by unfav7
orable tariff legislation and in part to
adverse weather conditions during the
making of the crop. At the present
time prospects for a normal crop in
Louisiana next season seem to be en-
couraging.
A long forward stride in production
was made by the beet sugar branch
of the domestic industry during the
past twelve months. The area de-
voted to sugar beets amounted to
ga, 900 acres, an increase Of 20 per
cent over the previous year. Excessive
wet weather in Eastern states, and a
drouth in Western territory injured
the early prospect of the crop, but
favorable conditions at the end Of the
season brought about a rapid i'm
provement and over 100000 tons OF
beets were finally harvested, an in
crease of 100000 tons compared
with 1914. Returns from the major
ity of the operating sugar factories
indicate a production of approximate
ly 86S,OOO short tons (775,000 long
tons) of sugar for the current cam
paign. With the largest acreage and
tonnage of beets ever grown the pro-
duction of beet sugar exceeds the
greatest preceding crop, that of 1918
by about 10000 long tons, Sixty
seven sugar factories in IA states
were in operation during the season
compared with 60 in 1914 and II in
1918.
