Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 December 1892 — No Sugar Duty. [ARTICLE]

No Sugar Duty.

We notice that two or three of our contemporaries commend the proposition made by one or two Democratic members of Congress, that the old duties on sugar should again be imposed. The effect of such legislation would be to increase the price of sugar to consumers generally by at

least 2 cents a pound. . We do not believe that this propsition will And favor with even a small minority of those who will control the next House. It deserves no support whatever. The Fifty-third Congress will not begin its work of revising the tariff by increasing the cost of the necessaries of life. —New York Times.
