0. you cannot gie it any such interpretation as that. even in its broadest sense. I agree. as a matter Qf course. that such a calamity would raise the price of sugar to the consumers throughort the United States. I agree that that might be so. but that would no more give the United States the power to interfere to cheapen the price of sugar. than the high price of wheat could be made an argument for taking money fron the Treasury for the purpose of bringing immigrants into this country and locating them on the graingrowing lands of the West in order that the products of grain might be increased so that every one could buy his wheat for half the price for which he could got it before. That would undoubtedly be a benefit to those who consume the products of the West. but there can be no such broad interpretation of the words "general welfare" as to bring any such appropriations within the clear understanding of the meaning of the term. Supply and demand take care of that.
