Show ! SUGAR Svgar has any one heard Mr. Cox say Sugar? He talks a lot, but not about sugar. He talks about a $15,000,-000 $15,000,-000 Imaginary campaign fund. 'But not a word about sugar and nd. the $900,000,000 that the American people have paid during Ihe last year in excess of reasonable Prices for sugar. Here Is the reason Mr. Cox keeps still about sugar: Just a year ago this month, September, Sep-tember, the entire Cuban sugar crop "as offered to America for six and one-half cents a pound for the raw Product, which would have meant about nine cents for refined sugar to 'be consumers. The offer was made through the government of Cuba to the government of the United States. President Wilson referred the ques-i ques-i (Continued on page 4.) SI (i.K. I ( 'out j i .

The president took his advice and the hhk:i- was not taken. The Cu-lians Cu-lians in despair over Iheir Mi crop, and not Knowing how lo finance it, turned it over lo syndicates which did Ihe underwriting thai the Wil-Kon Wil-Kon government had refused to do. The syndicales then made tip their minds to make the American pe ple pay lor Iheir folly and they have jiumI lor ill And Mr. Palmer helped the s-iuli-cales out by malting an exlraordin-ary exlraordin-ary ruling in what is known as the Louisiana sugar planters' cas-3. The said tliey httd a small crop and ought to luive more for il. They asked for seventeen and eighteen cnr.ta a pound, depending on the grade. Their attorneys pleaded before Mr. l'alnior and Mr. Palmer told them that if they charged seventeen or eighteen cents, he would guarantee them against prosecution for profiteering profit-eering Norliteru wheat was kept down, but planters' sugar was not. And that Louisiana price became basic for the Cuban crop which had been offered for six and a half cents a pound. Because there was a shortage in Louisiana, to help them out, all sugar su-gar prices were boosted. For the Cuban syndicates, it was like going to a pinic. Hut did Mr. Palmer do nothing to keep sugar prices down? lie did nothing to prosecute the syndicates but his sleuths and prosecutors pro-secutors here and there arrested a corner grocerynian for making more than his allowed profit! They said, in excuse for the high prices, that there was a shortage. H'ltt that was not true. There was plenty of sugar all the time and the ware houses are still loaded up, but willi a new crop coming on the syndicate has at last lost control of the situation, and that is why prices are coming down. But in the meantime, they made their' $900,000,000 in profits in excess ex-cess of reasonable ones. Why should they care? And that is why air. Cox does not mention sugar he would rather make a noise about imaginary campaign cam-paign funds, to keep the people from thinking of thirty times-thirty million mil-lion dollars out of which they were mulcted on sugar. Hut perhaps .Mr. Cox is not such a chump as some think in making a bi(? noise about other things; And saying nothing about a disagreeable dis-agreeable subject like sugar! But are (he American people go-inii go-inii to be Rtiliiblo enough not to vote for a "I'liane" not only ou sugar but on many other things? (Political Advertisement.)
