Show THE SUGAR REFINERIES When the tariff debate was on it was re repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly re re- charged that the striking of all protection protection protection pro pro- from domestic sugar was in the interest of the sugar refineries The truth of that charge we cannot verify but the charge itself is a reminder that the sugar schedule that went up from the house to the senate in 1894 was the same as the present tariff contains That was before the sugar beet industry in the desert was developed into a great industry But at that time furious as Mr Ir Cleveland was he still pleaded for the sugar refineries saying that I they needed a little protection It looks exceedingly exceedingly exceed exceed- i as though the refineries had been of much I assistance to the party in the past and as though there was a hope that it would be again in the future |
