Just a moment. Give us free sugar. and our beet factories can not possibly compete with the sugar producer in Cubh. because the beetsugar producer buys his raw material. his beets. from American farmers. who live as Americans live and support their families as Americans support their families. while the sugar growers in Cuba employ coolies. formerly from Hindustan. of the lowest type of natives. who live in hovels. I should like to invite some Senator who is contending for free sugar to go to the Tropics. where cane sugar is produced. examine into the conditions of the laborers who produce the cane crops of those tropical regions. and then tell me whether he would like to bring the American producer of beets. -the American farmer. in direct competition with that laborer. The result of free sugar would be that the American farmer could not compete and he would be driven out of the beetproducing business.
