Hawaiian sugar un- der the treaty with that Island comes in duty free. The Claus Spreckles company have a monopoly of all the sugar manufactured sand j control the Hawaiin out put and rule the market on the Pacific coast. While the sugar comes in free, it costs the consumer in SanFrancisco from 1} to 2 cents per pound more thsn it costs the consumer in Chicago. That the Hawaiian sugar manufacturer ractically should sell his sugar in our own mar- kets tothe detriment of our own manu. facturers is bad enough but that he should sell it without paying any im, port duty on it is outrageous. Clay Spreckles can manufacture his sugar at much less cost than can the Texas or Louisiana manufacturer because all his labor is coolie. The duty free su gar of Sir Claus spreckles should be 3 cents per pound cheaper in SanFran- cisco than the duty paid sugars of the East and yet they are on an average two cents higher. Sir Claus pockets over five millions each year in the shape of duty on sugar which he does not pay, — A— OxE remarkable feature about the strikes maintained by organized labor throughout the country is that the k ve kept within the bounds 1 ra ha sin of the law.
