time become exporters of this staplearticle we the undersigned irrespective of party atiilations do most respectfully but earnestly urge upon you our Represen tative iiv congress to advocate meas ures which will protect the producers of beet sugar and prevent highly pro tected foreign sugar makers receiving from their respective governments large export bounties from monopoliz ing American markets under an ad valorem duty and also prevent the AmericamJSugar Trust from destroy ing or preventing the rapid develop ment of the beet sugar industry in this country which if protected by a specific duty bounty or both would insure to our farmers a most promis ing and profitable crop uuattended by speculative influences and give em ployment to hundreds of thousands of our people the far reaching
