Cuban Hceiprocitj- Is Costing; I'm l«rs,OOO.OOO « 1 ear. Tho Cuban experiment ought also to <! monstrate that our beet sugar tnilus !'■:were not, as opponents of Cuban 1 .iprocity alleged, in Imminent danger of i < Unction.—New York Evening Post. We suppose our contemporary, the !.veiling Post, is aware of the fact that ih beet sugar conipauies have not suf fered extinction, because the price of sug.tr Is much higher than it was be fore the Cuban reciprocity act. We sup pose our contemporary. the Evening I'o.u. Is aware of the fact that sugar is j: h higher than it was because there !-■ 11. \v 110 competition between tho beet agar producers and the Ilavemcyer : li-; ;r trust. We suppose our contem -1 try, the Evening Post, Is aware of tho fact that there is now 11b coinpeti -1 n because the beet sugar producers, ' '.enetl with extinction by the re i tie:inn of duty 011 Cuban sugar, wore in in cd to make an agreement with the (■ tr trust for the control of the Ainer ican market and the raising of prices to v ■ suniers. Ia the same edition from which we li.tvi* quoted the Evening Post's coui 111c il tables showed that the price of i was 0.15 cents a pound on April 4, 1". as against 4.70 011 April 4, 1004, oae j ear ago. This increase iu price ov ae year ago amounts to SJ9 a ton. 'I • agar consumption of the United States is about 2,000.000 tons per au r.-.m. The result of the Cuban reciproc ity act, therefore, lias been to increase I'i.e sugar bill of American consumers by mere than $75,000,000 a year! Our contemporary, the Evening Post, w; telliug the American people be f i"c the passage of the reciprocity act that they were groaning under a "tar iff tax ' of §8,000,000 a year, which was to he remitted by reason of this "tax" coming off the Importations from Cuba and g ng Into the pockets of the con sumers. Tariff duties of $8,000,000 are a per capita tax of 10 cents a year. But tho Cuban reciprocity act not only failed to take off this per capita tax of 10 ccn's a year; it put the $8,000,000 in t > tl • ( iffers of the sugar trust and the tobaet (i trust and it added $75,000,000 a year to the sugar bills of the American people! Wh.'J the sii'nr trust was planning wi'h i ; recip ity act was an oppor tunity either to drive Its competitors, the be t sugar producers, out of exist ence or to compel those competitors seeking self preservation to form a combine under which the American people could lie plucked through a complete control of the market. Natu rally t'.e beet sugar producers did not choose togo out of existence. They ac cepted the alternative and made an agreement with the sugar trust where by the price to the consumer is ele vated and kept up. So opulent a schci.i ■ is this that the sugar trust agrees to buy the product of beet sugar factories at a regulated price, just as the gas trust buys the product of af filiated gas producers at an agreed price, which permits all the producers to make extortionate profits, since the helpless public must foot the bills. The whole result of the Cuban reci procity act, then, so far as sugar is concerned, is that there is 110 longer competition to protect the American consumer. He does not get the benefit of the lowered "taxes" ou Cuban im ports. and he does pay, the whole na tion of him, $75,000,000 more a year for his sugar!— New York Press. ONE MONTH'S RECORD.
