SUGAR GOES SKYWARD.
Since the canning of fruit has
commenced housewives have
learned some) hinur of I he power of
the siiaar trust. Three months
ago sugar retailed here at 0 ,
cents per pound and dealers made
a small profit. Today sugar is re
tailing at H l-.'t cents per pound
and may go higher and dealers
assert that, they are not making a
cent. What has caused this
abnormal increase in the price of
sugar? We have been in
vestigating this subject ami pre
sent below our findings:
The world's production of
su'-'ar for the year 1 008 was 32,-O'l'i.-'Oil.
iliO pounds. Of this
iinount the United States con-
umeil practically a little over L'2
er cent. The total dutiable sugar
imported into the United Slates in
D.mrt was 3,:jl7.l.7.t 12 pounds,
n which a tariff tax of fiO.OSi,-
'.il'j.aO was paid. The price paid
in foreign countries for this sugar
as per lim pounds. Now
dd to the purchase price of $2.38
he tariff tax of Sl.'.xt and we have
total cost of the sugar, not in
duing ocean freight, of $4.28
ier thO pounds. Now who is re
ponsible for sinrar selling in the
ical market for 100 per cent
hove the three items of cost we
ie enumerated? The answer.
must be, "The Susar Trust."
It. must be remembered that
ugar from the Philippine is-
ands is admitted into this eoun-
ry free of duly, and from Cuba a
eduction of I'll per cent is made
from the re.-ilac tariff. Raw
sugar iv tarilt lixeil according to
trade (roni (..r cents to 1 .75 per
10i' pounds, while the reiined ar-
icie is faxed $ 1 .10.
Sugar is a prime necessity
imong all classes of people and
I should be placed on the free
isi. liecause ii is impossible to
produce enough at home to sup
ply the demand. In lrt'.'O a re
publican administration put
sugar on the free list, and it en
abled people to buy as high as 22
pounds to the dollar. Compare
that amount with 8 1-3 pounds
now and you have a picture of
what the Dinglev tariff law of
I8l7 has made it possible for Hit
ugar trust to exact from the,
leopie.
V change of these conditions
can tome only through the elec
tion of a democratic congress ami
president. This should be ap
parent to every man who has
watched the trend of legislation.

CANADA AND RECIPROCITY.
Canada's overwhelming defeat
' the reciprocity agreement with
the United States is fraught with
vast consequences to the former
country. To the United States it
is of subsidiary importance.
This country is just now get
ting down in earnest to the work
of solvinr the tariff problem
equitably. Canadian reciprocity
was just one feature. of the large
undertaking.
Hut with Canada it was indeed
the parting of the ways, and the
wrong one was chosen. It de
liberately selected the high pro
lection road.
This is the road that we took
practically half a century ago and
bave lived to regret it keenly. We
are still struggling in the pitfalls
and the mire to which it led.
We .can see now that high tar-
ift na created trusts and

their long trail of evils, has
caused the amassing of predatory
wealth, .and has recently resulted
in putting the cost of living al
most beyond the income of the
average man.
(Mir courts and our congress
have been working overtime to
remedy the mistake we made.
They haven't yet succeeded.
All our experience was before
Canada to profit by. It rejected;
it, preferring rather to learn the
bitter lesson for itself.
Canada's manufacturing enter
prises are just now in the first
tlusli of successful development.
Taken sensibly in hand at this
stage, they could be so guided
and controlled that their growth
would not be retarded and at the
same time they would not be al
lowed to become an economic
menace to the country by reason
of the high protection for which
they clamor.
It was the manufacturing in
terests that caused the defeat of
the agreement. Intimidation of
employes was used, and where
this did not avail the annexation
scarecrow was made to do ef
fective work.
The result of last Thursday's
election means that, porteclion
has taken such a grasp upon
Canada as will take decades to
shake off.
