Washington, April 16 - An an
alysis of a report by the tariff COM
mission on the tariff on pineapples
by H. E. Miles of the Fair Tariff
League, has been placed in the
Congressional Record by Senator
Thomas j. Walsh of Montana. The
Hawley-Smoot tariff act increased
the duty on pineapples AZ per cent.
The following Is a summary of the
statements in the Miles analysis:
The commission presents but one
table of cost comparisons, giving
the difference in costs of Florida
and Cuban pineapple delivered In
New York City and Chicago.
The table Is false. says Mr. Miles,
because no Florida pineapples are
shipped to either place and none
has been shipped in the last four
years except eight carloads to New
York in 1928 and six carloads to
Chicago in 1929:
Imports cannot compete with
the Florida product except in Flor
ida where the entire local product
is consumed or "just vanishes."
OF the 100000 farmers in the
United States there are $1,000 in
Florida :. of the latter number only

900.
In 1880 when the tariff was rails.
ed AZ per cent there were 13 pine
apple growers in Florida, but twt
of them have quit.
If the growers got full benefit o.
the tariff, then 10 farmers in 1891
got tariff bonus of $2,996, or $23'
each; and in 1881, II farmers got ;
tariff bonus of $3.50. or $3.50 each
The public was taxed on pine
apples at the Custom House in 1873
