Tariff on Sugar

I'bone I l.~>
At the present time the price of sugar is attracting fully as
much attention as the price of cotton in the cotton producing,
states and a great deal more in the rest of the states of the union, j
The present prices of su^ar is no doubt due in a large measure to
the manipulation of the Sugar Trust; but it is not all due to the
Trust. On his departure for Europe last week John Arbuckle,
the sugar retiner and coffee manufacturer gave out the following
statement.
"I propose to give all my time and ability to the abolition ot
all import duties on raw sugar, a most wicked tax on a food near-
ly every body uses.
"Just look at these figures showing how the prices of refined
sugar to the consumer is made up.
"Price paid by New York refiners for raw sugar is 2.4 cents.
Duty per pound 1.085 cents.
"With raw sugar costing the retiner $4 084 per hundred,price
to grocers for granulated sugar is about $4 i)p per hundred and
the wholesale grocers' net price to the retailers' per hundred is
about $4.95 and the retail grocers' price to consumers was be-
tween $5.15 and >5.25 per hundred. So that, for every hundred
pounds of sugar going into a household at 55.25 per hundred, the
government of the United States has exacted $1.GHA, or almost
one-third of the total price, ft means that every household that
now buys three and a half pounds of sugar could for the same
money buy tive and one quarter pounds if this tax were removed.
"If so someone has said, sugar is the comfort of old age and
the delight of youth, your Uncle Sam is engaged in taking candy
from children, the spirit of meanness. The duty on raw sugar is
78 per cent of its value."
On the same day the press dispatches also announced the ar-
rival in Philadelphia of British vessel with a cargo of 0000
tons of raw sugar from Java. The vessel sailed from Java on
August 1st. The cargo from the time it left Java until it was de'
livered in Philadelphia increased in value $107,000, by reason of
the increase in the price of sugar in this country during time
cargo was in transit. Who owned the raw sugar when it was
shipped from Java? Who made this protit and raise in value of
the product while in trausit? Who paid this additional amount?
Did the producer of the raw product get it? Did the consumet
pay it? Who got the money? The Sugar Trust. On this vessel's
cargo an import duty (tariff) of #180,00*) was paid to land cargo
in this country. Who, in the end paid this tariff? The consumer
to be sure and he is expected to vote in a manner to uphold this
method of being skinned because in so doing he is told that he
is protecting the raisers of raw beet sugar in this country Bet-
ter let this country go out of the beet sugar industry for a time
than to suffer such a fearful skinning, don't you think? The
truth m the matter is that the growers ot beet sugar, In truth and
in fact receive very little protection from the tariff on sugar, and
this is largely true of all other protected industries. It is the
manipulators of the productsof the protected industries who reap
the harvest and the consumer pays for the product. How did the
increase of #107,000 in value of the above vessel's cargo of raw-
sugar, while in transit, redound to the benefit of the producer of
raw sugar in this country? The increase jf the value of a pro-
duct after it has left the hands of the producer, does not help the
producer It helps th • speculator and robs the cons liner and in
directly injures the producer by reducing consumption of the pro
duct—"over supply about the time new crop is ready to market
and other such tommy rot" as you see displayed in big headlines
in the republican press upholding the infamous tariff system.

A better kind of grass for thia cli-
mate to by used lu a permanent pas-
ture than the orchard grass which you
Luve beeu experimenting with ie the
Hardy Bermuda. It la better lor the
reason that It la aure to form a per-
manent sod. It will stay ^reou
throughout the long, dry summer anil
Is comparatively nutritious, having a
high per cent of protein that is di-
gestible.
Aa to the beat kind of seed to sow
tor hog paature, in your section of
the state alfalfa would be the most
valuable crop for hogs. although red
clover is aaid to do quite well In that
aection of Oklahoma. If you aimply
want to sow some legume in order 10
prepare the land for alfalfa you will
be more successful if you will use
the aweet clover instead of red clover
for the reason that the former has
been found to develop the same bac-
teria in the soil which alfalfa requires.
Soil inoculation is moat successfully
done by applying a thin dressing of
soil from clay lands that have already
produced legumes successfully; but
In your case, if it is difficult to se-
cure such land, 1 believe the sweet
dover will serve you very well, it
Is also quite a rank grower and you
would not have the difficulty that you
are now experiencing from the crab
grass from your experience in trying |
to grow red clover.

New York World Agrees With Gov. Wilson.
The New York World seems now to very much regret that
Gov. Wilson called the country's attention some time ago to
what lie denominated the most "dangerous trust" in the country,
towit: "The mouey trust." The New Yo>k Times assailed the
statement of Gov. Wilson at the time it was made, denying that
such a trust existed, and the World came back defending the
Governor's statement of its existence, saying, "The money mo-
nopoly to which Gov. W ilson referred, has its headquarters in
Wall Street, but it> influence extends over the eutire country."
Now it seems the World too would back up, and at a time too
when the people can and are feeling the tentacles of the money <
trust squeezing them.
At the present time when money is greatly needed to handle!
crops in the west and south and to tide the business of these sec I
tions over for another year by reason of crop failure, especially ;
in some of the western states, we find the New York banks in
sisting on payment of loans to western and southern bauks, and the !
latter in turn are being forced to pres> their borrowers hard to
raise money to pay eastern banks, and eastern banks are piling
up money they receive in vaults to lie idle until such a time as
conditions in the west and south are bruught to point, by reason
of the scarcity of money in circulation, when cash money will
command, or secure more property, than if same had been per
mitted to circulate continuously. The piling up of money in the
vaults.in the east is very similar in effect to the piling up of raw
sugar in the warehouse and doubling the price of sugar, thus en-
riching the sugar trust, the main difference being that, it being
a function of the government to supply the people with money to
transact the business of the country with, the government of the
people is participating in the crime of robbing and despoiling its
subjects, by permitting a condition to exist whereby the money
of the country can be manipulated by a few to despoil the many
and enrich the few. It is not a function of government to sup-
ply the people with sugar. It is a lunction of government to
supply the people with money to transact the business of the
people with on terms of equality.

Cotton seed meal ot cake may con-
stitute part of the ration for horses,
but must be fed with care. 1 would
suggest that a couple of handfuls may
be given at the start and gradually
Increased to a quart per day. It us-
I ually acts something like linseed meal,
| giving tone. Occasionally cotton seed
I L-ake and hulls have been fed to
aorses in large quantities without any
; injurious effects, but in such cases the
I animals were in charge of persous
who had loug experience in the care
; md feeding of the animals.
This Station has underway an ex-
periment with hogs that are being fed
j jn cotton seed meal. The animals
j nave been given the following mix-
ture dry since early last winter with-
out injurious effect:
J. pounds corn meal and 4 oitfires
I cotton seed meal (per hundred
| weight.)
; 1 am of the opinion that cotton seed
I meal is not a dangerous food if the
• feed from which it is made is ripe
I sweet, and in good condition.

Permit me to suggest a good way
to determine whether a particular field
you wish grazed has any danger lurk-
ing in it. If yow will take a compar-
atively valueless animal and allow it
to graze for a time, you will be able
to determine very direct 1\ w hether or
not prussic acid or any other poison
has developed in the cane. A calf
would be sufficient for the trial or a
yearling if the calf will not graze and
if there appears to b# no danger, you
ought to let your herd get gradually
used to it probably giving them a lit-
tle dry fodder at night after the\ be
gin grazing on this feed. Having once
started them on this kind of feed they
should be permitted to graze steadily
thereon without intermissions.
At our Substations at the Murray
School Farm at Tishomingo, Oklaho-
ma. we grazed a very valuable herd of
Jersey cows throughout the latter part
of the season last year with very bene-
ficial result, and uo injurious effects
whatever.
