Sugar Is Dearer.

The bounty on raw sugar was 2 cents per pound and the tariff duty is now 40 per cent ad valorum, or lees than 2 cents per pound. Should we not, therefore, have cheaper sugar now than under the McKinley law? "One in Doubt.” The present duty on raw sugar will average 1.20 cents per pound on a basis of 3 cents as the average value of all raw sugar that we import. This duty must be applied to all the sugar that we consume, because the market value of our domestic sugar will correspond with that of the duty paid imported sugar. Applying this duty of , 1.20 cents to the 4,343,209,500 pounds ' that we consumed last fiscal year we have a total charge to the people of $52,118,514. The bounty of 2 cents per pound was chargable only on the quantity of domestic sugar produced in this country, being $12,099,899 for the fiscal year ending June. 30, 1894. I Where the bounty cost the people I only $12,000,000 the new duty will cost j $52,000,000 on the basis of our present ! consumption, making an additional charge for sugar of $40,000,000 to be paid by the people as the result of the Democratic policy on sugar. That Is why sugar will now cost the people more money than under the McKinley tariff, and the producers of domestic sugar will also receive less protection to the extent of 4-5 per cent on every pound of sugar that they produce.
