TARIFF ADDS Z CENTS.
POUND SUGAR PRICE
Cuban Raw Sugar Now Arriving
in New York Cost $685. Cwt.
With SITS Tariff Added

NEW YORK, Sept. AL
though current prices of sugar at
retail are about three cents
pound below those quoted in April,
May and June, the tariff con-
tinues to be felt as considerable
factor in the cost of this staple.
The duty of 1.76 cents a pound
on Cuban raw sugar, when added
to the initial price and pyramided
all along the line, still represents
two cents or more of the cost to
the consumer.
Cuban raw sugar landed in New
York and pledged for December
delivery was quoted a few days
ago at 1856 cents a pound. If
there were no tariff on this sugar
the average housewife could buy
it for about 5 cents pound.
knowledge of the charges and
profits calculated by the importers
and refiners and dealers and a lit
tie arithmetical computation dis
close the effect of the tariff.
Landed at New York, a pound
of Cuban sugar worth 3.85 cents
would undergo sudden apprecia-
ton. The Government would col
lect the tariff of 1.76 cents. This
would be added to the previous
costs, and the sugar would then
be carried at 6.61 cents a pound.
ShrinkSge-figured at 7 pes
CENTS the next charge. With
this item Of shrinkage included the
cost of the sugar would become 6
cents pound, and the addition of
further charges and profits would
make the retail price about 7 IL
cents.
Whether the price of Cuban raw
sugar rise or fall, the tariff of
1.7648 cents a pound is always part
of it. But that is not all the dis
advantage of the tariff. Every
pound of sugar produced in the
United States and Hawaii-upon
which no duty is imposed by law
lis boosted cents pound by
the Sugar Trust because the tariff
gives that opportunity.

EUROPEAN CHAOS is
MENACE TO AMERICA

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Ameri-
cas- peace and prosperity are me-
naced by the present instability
and the prospective chaos in Eu-
rope according to John F. Sinclair
of Minneapolis, who has just re-
turned from five months survey
of the financial and economic con-
ditions in sixteen European coun-
tries. Unless the situation in Eu-
rope is changed for the better,
Mr.. Sinclair said, the United States
will suffer the worst industrial de-
preston ever experienced.
Naturally, our export trade is
going to suffer-" said Mr.. Sinclair
to a representative of the New
York Times, after he had drawn
a gloomy picture of the present
and future of Europe. THE Amer
lean manufacturer and the Ameri-
can farmer are in for long per-
iod of stormy weather, especially
the grain farmer, who has had no
chance to recover economic stab
ility since the war;"
Mr.. Sinclair suggested that the
United States call an internation-
al conference on war debts and re-
parations as one method of eff
fecting an improvement in the Eu-
ropean situation.

WALLACE FURNISHING
CAMPAIGN 7 HUMBER
Declared Democrats Are Under
Obligations to Republican
Cabinet Officers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The
Democratic party is indebted to
Secretary Wallace for a confirma-
ton of all that its national organ
ization has been saying about the
distressful condition of agriculture
and the cause thereof.
The most pertinent thing that
Secretary Wallace says, according
to Democratic politicians here, is
that 1.-THE farmer could get along
fairly we'll with the present prices
of what he has to sell if prices
of what he must buy were down
accordingly. But prices of other
things remain high. That is what
hurts"
Secretary Wallace, however, say
the same politicians, fails to state
the causes that produced this dis
parity between the prices the farm
err gets for his product and the
prices he pays for what he buys.
He does not tell his readers that
the foreign policy of the Republl~.
can administration has destroyed
the farmers market abroad. lie
does not tell that the FordneyA
McCumber tariff is responsible for
the enormous increase in the prices
of everything the farmer must buy.
He does not tell the Republican
members of the Farm bloc" BAN
boozled the farmers by putting
tariff duty upon agricultural prod
ucts, with the promise that it
would raise the prices thereof, in
order to allay their opposition to
the other tariff rates imposed upon
the people in the sole interest of
a special privileged class, and
which the Republican EARN bloc"
supported.
The facts, however, are now
so generally known that taken in
connection with Secretary Wal
lace's statement the two together
constitute the most severe arraign-
ment of the Republican tariff poll
cy which has yet come from
Republican source.

Doctor R. v. Pierce, whose picture

by close observation of the methods
used by the Indians, he discovered their
great remedial qualities, especially for
weaknesses of women, and after care

the world a remedy which has been
used by women with the best results
for half century. DR.. Pierce's FayOrite
Prescription is still in great demand,
while many other so called ecure-alls"

its phenomenal success is because of it's

PRINCE Of WALES
WILL SEEK REST
To Go to His 6,OOO-Acre Ranch
in Alberta This Month to Re-
cuperate for Two Weeks

HIGH RIVER, Alberta, Canada,
Sept. Edward Prince of Wales,
is coming to his ranch rs miles
from here early in September for
real vacation.
That is the sole purpose behind
his determination to spend some
weeks roaming about on the 5000
acres of beautiful farm and ranch
land in the shade of the Canadian
Rockies.
He sails from England on Sept.
5 and his visit to Canada is not to
be interfered with in any way by
official engagements. In the past
few months he has had plenty of
those.
His worldwide popularity and
his position as the probable future
ruler of the British empire, has
caused countless demands to be
made upon him to attend every
conceivable kind of function and
ceremony.
Until the end of October he is
going to spend the time directing
management of his pure bred
horses, cattle and sheep; in riding
over his extensive acres in which
ambitious streams we'll filled with
fatted trout ripple and partridge
and other game is plentiful.
In 1919 the prince became
land owner in Canada. At that
time, when guest of George
Lane, native of Des Moines, Ia, on
the latter's Bar U" ranch, Edward
became so enthusiastic about the
country he asked Lane to arrange
the purchase of the territory he
now calls his own.
Prof. w. L. CARLYLE, one of the
best known agriculturists in the
west, was engaged as manager, and
soon after the prince reached
home he shipped -blooded
