13 would be the lowest grade which would come here, and that we who need absolutely for the success- ful and economical prosecution of our business all grades of sugar, would see ourselves deprived at one stroke of the lower grades which we must have to supply the demands of the public ? Am I or am I not justified, gentlemen of the committee, in characterizing this proposal, supposing it to become law, as a flagrant injustice and a grave detriment to the business of those who need these grades ...of sugars equally with the higher? I said it would be a direct and purposeless extra tax on the consumer. It would deprive him straightway of the cheaper sugars, which to-day form 60 per cent, of the total consump- tion of the country. It would diminish the amount of im- portations and considerably advance the price of refined 26 sugars. And what have gentlemen on the other side ad- vanced to justify this astounding proposal. Their ac- credited spokesman did not venture to say that it would cheapen the price of refined sugar ; he knew well that it would do exactly the contrary.
