You are today discriminating against the consumers of the country in your levy of taxes. American sugar. refined sugar. is today sold cheaper in London than the American consumer is allowed to have it. Two dollars and sixty cents on the hundred I believe is refunded upon your tariff tax upon reshipment abroad. and that difference marks the difference between the sugar consumed by the American citizen and the sugar consumed by the pauper labor of Europe against whom you pretend every day and hour of your lives you are intending to protect the American laborer! Was there ever a more shameless outrage? But there are some other things in connection with this bill that ought not to be overlooked or forgotten.
