SUGAR PRICES WORRY
REPUBLICAN LEADERS.

The rapid rise in the price of
sugar is giving the Republican
leaders something to worry about.
This from the Philadelphia Re
cord attempts to explain why:
The President and the Tariff
Commission are in great haste to
investigate the prices of sugar
TheFe are plenty of other features
of the tariff to investigate, but the
price Of sugar is the thing that is
now hurting the Republican party
the most and no time is to be lost
in fixing up some kind of re-
port that viii exculpate the tariff
The Republicans raised the tariff
for the express purpose Of raising
the price. The price may have
outrun the duty, but that does not
indicate that the two are not close
ly connected. The sugar interests
in this country tried to get the Gu
ban planters to reduce production
and then turned to Congress which
was more pliable and it obliged
them by increasing the duty,
Cordell says that the President
could reduce the price two cents a
pound, but the President is hunt
ing for some way Of getting the
urice down without rejecting up
on the sacred tariff.
