Show AMERICAN SUGAR INDUSTRY SAFE With a world shortage running into hundreds of thousands of tons the wastern beet sugar grower is in clover. On the sliding scale contracts the farmers raising beets are bound to receive millions of dollars in business. A pretty fair tariff adjustment protects American beet growers grow-ers against importations of cheap labor raw sugar products. Of course, efforts of refiners will be made to break down this tariff and let in the cheaper raw material which increases their profit. The consumer of sugar will never get a cent of benefit from letting down the bars to cheap oriental and tropic-grown sugar. American growers of beet and cane sugar, north and south, are satisfied with the present tariff and the consumer is not interested in breaking dow nthe home industry. |
