lanll on their raw sugar would be
held dow n to 2 cents if they would
agree to limit sugar shipments to the
United States to 2V2 millions of tons
per annum. Th effect would be to
give this country' just barely enough
for its needs, thus enabling the sugar
refiners to get a better price for their
products and to more cfosely control
the price. In otner words, sugar
would never be plentiful, and in the
course of a few years, or at any time
there should happen to be a short
crop here at home, our supply would
not be sufficient for our needs, owing
to the setadily increasing population.
The 2-cent tariff means that the con
suming public will pay one hundred
million per year into the Treasury as
tax on the sugar coming in from
Cuba; that is not so bad, in a way,
as it helps pay the enormous bills ol
the government, but this tax puts up
a wall of protection for the benefit
of the sugar growers here at home,
in Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Phil
lipines, enabling them to charge two
cents more per pound for their raw
sugar. This takes eighty millions ad
ditional from the pockets of the
sugar-users and places it in the
pockets of the sugar growers. This
is typical 01 the Republican position
on the tariff; it is to assess the
general public to enrich special
lavored imerests, which in turn can
be counted upon to pay a portion of
their artificial gains into the Republi
can campaign chest in order to en
able this party of the few to con
tinue to exploit the many. It is the
same old practice ot the despotic
kings who sold privileges to friends
at court. All Republican tariff bills
revolve around the manufacturing
groups of the big industrial centers,
lhe Democratic view of the tariff is
that it should produce revenue to run
the government, economically admin
istered, while Jaying the lightest pos
sible burden on the consumer. Of
course, any tariff is bound to carry
with it some incidental Drotection to
the American manufacturer.
An unrestrained whoop of victory
is heard from the vicinity of the
White House over the fact that Carmi
FT I
inompson, supposed to represent
tne Harding policies, won the nomi
nation for Governor ol Ohio over the
opposition, divided among the candi
dacies of eight men. It is well that
the whoop came before the facts ami
ligues, which show that Thompson,
carrying the load of "Harding
policies ' plus Harding unpopularity,
in spite of his own personal follow
ing, which is large, polled only about
forty per cent of the vote cast in the
primary. If forty per cent satisfies
Harding and makes the clan hamiv.
then take it and welcome, is the at
titude of the Democrats; another
such victory and the Republican
party is in the boneyanl. but the
cold truth is that Thompson won
through by the fact that he is per
sonally the most popular Republican
in Ohio and was gotten into the race
for Governor in the hope that he
could pull Ol' Doc Kess through foi
Senator and save the face ot tht
Harding administration at the same
time by keeping the state in the Re
publican column this fall. It is re
mindful ot an irreverent epitaph
from a tombstone up in New Eng
land, which runs like this:
Here lies the body of Mary Ann,
Safe in the bosom of Abraham;
It's mighty nice for Mary Ann,
Hut pretty tough on Abraham.
And so it seems pretty lough on
Abraham Thompson to have to beai
