The big clothing and men’s furnishings sale opened Saturday morning. Selling was brisk from the very start, many people taking advantage of this great sale to lay in their supply of clothing for months to come from our large stock and were astonished at the low prices we are quoting. Our stock is too large and must be reduced before we begin remodeling.

SUGAR TARIFF NO “AID TO FARMERS

Consumers Taxed for Benefit of Factories, Not Beet Growers.

WOOL BENEFITS QUESTIONEP

Falr Tariff League Head Says Beets Are Not Important Americanc"o.Pn :

By H. E. MILES,

Chalrman of the Fair Tariff League. Sugar in the beet, the product of the farm, is given a protection of 5% ad valorem in the Fordney Tariff Bill now before Congress, Refined sugar, the product of the beet sugar factory, is protected with a specific rate equivalent to from 80% to 100% ad valorem on the basis of present prices, . : ; For example, the Michigan sugar factory receives a prohibitive protectlon against the impeortation of the product of the Canadian sugar factory, but the Michigan sugar b&et farmer recelves practically no protection against the Canadian sugar beet. - In view of this farmers are asking if the 60% increase in -the tariff en Cuban raw sugar contained in the Fordney Tariff Bill is an effort to protect the farmer or an effort 10 pay a further bonus to an already sufficient1y protected beet sugar industry. All farmers use sugar. They usually buy it in 100 pound*sacks. Every time a farmer buys a sack of sugar he pays $2.00 as the result of the tariff on sugar. Half of this goes to the Government and half of it to the beet sugar manufacturer. o This is true because we consume in this country twice as much sugar as we make, but the price of sugar to the farmer is the Cuban .price plus the tariff. But the farmer pays this price on both the domestic sugar and the forelgn sugar. Therefore the farmer pays half of this tax to the Government and half to the manufacturer of beet sugar in this country. v | Sugar Beets a Minor Product The farmer might feel that he was getting some benefit out of this if the raising of sugar beets was actually an {mportant American agricultural parsuit. This, however, ds not the case. - . The crop acreage of sugar beets for 1020 was 602455, The crop acreage for peanuts was 1,256,000, almost doubie the acreage devoted to the cultivation of sugar beets, =~ - . ‘The following table indiciites the importance of the acreage devoted to sugar beets as compared with certain Sngarheett...uq m RiA ,&% m‘* aaresawa .

It is currently rumored ‘that the contract price paid the farmer for sugar beets during’the coming Season ‘will be from $5.00- to $5.50 a ton. The average pre-war price with the tariff at 1c was $5.57, approximately the price that wid be paid farmers ~during the coming season with the . tariff increased 60%. Very few farmers grow wool, but all farmers wear clothes. American grown ‘wool, the product ef the American farm, Is one of the chief rallying cries of the high sariff exponent. - ; Fallacy of Wool “Protection” Farmers are clad in mid-winter mostly in cotton and shoddy, and yet the woolen manufacturer today is given 45 cents a pound protection on the entire weight of the ' farmers™ '~ clothing on the basis that it is all wool. He passSes this additional cest on to ‘ the farmer, but gives the wool grower about one-third of this 45 cents in In-. creased price of wool. s S A foreign piece of men’s suiting welghing eighteen ounces to the yard is" 40% cotton, 80% wool and 809% + wool shoddy, costing on the preSent} rate of exchange $1.09 a yard. A com“parable domestic fabric. costs $1.75. Under thé Fordney Tariff the duty would be 24% of this $1.75, or 42¢; the weight duty at 80c¢ a pound, 333%c, and. the landing charge 9%c, making ithe foreign fabric cost here $1.95. Under the present Emergency Tariff, - with its 45c a pound weight duty, the’ fabric would cost $2.08 as against the American price of $1.75. s " The wool grower would get 15¢ protection per pound instead of the 45c ‘weight duty, the manufacturer keep- [ ing 80¢ of the weight duty, but charging the farmer who buys clothing the ol gles s b el e e o ~ The American farmer should be In- " terested to find out why it is that his common agricultural implements man- * ufactured In the United States can be ~ bought for less by the Burapungarm‘ _. ~er than he has to. pay for them, thanks fo the: protective tariff.
