THE GARUEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, l16 a THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OK THE SUGAR QUESTION Washington, D. C, Jan. 5, 1916, Congressman Whit. P. Martin todav gave out the following cor respondence that has passed be tween Congressman Fordney of Michigan and himself upon the subject of the Sugar Tariff. As Mr. Fordney is the rankinR Republican member of the Ways and Means Committee, having succeeded to the position formerly occupied by the late Congressman Sercno K. Payne, of New York, the Michigan member speaks with authority for the Republican mem hers of the House in matters affect ing the tariff. This correspondence 'fcrew out of the recent discussion o f the sugar duties in the New Orleans papers, which has been followed with keen interest in Congressional circles. Congressman Martin in making public the correspondence today said that he was especially glad to receive this statement from Mr. Fordney at this time. "The Loui siana sugar farmers", said Mr. Martin, "are just preparing to plant the next crop and this state ment regarding the attitude of the Republicans coming from such an authoritative source, will go far to dispel the doubts and uncer tainties which have hung over the sugar section for the past three years." The Democrats are already on record as favoring the continua tion of the one cent duty. This statement from Mr. Fordney ex plaining the friendly altitude of the Republican party should re move the last vestige of doubt re garding the course Congress will pursue when the question of re pealing the Free Sugar Clause comes before it at an early date for consideration. MR. MARTIN'S LETTER. January 4, 1916. Hon. Joseph W. Fordney, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr, Fordney: I beg to herewith enclose an editorial from the Daily States of New Otleans, Louisiana, entitled "Republicans and Sugar." May I ask that you kindly read the same and let me know whether this editorial correctly indicates the position that will be taken by the Republican party at this ses sion of Congress, on the question of the retention of the tariff on sugar? Thanking vou for any trouble you may take in this matter, I am, Yours very truly, W. P. Martin MR. FORDNEY'S REPLY. Washington. D. C, Jan. 5, 1916 Hon. W. P. Martin. House of Representatives, Washington. D. C. Mv Dear Judge: I am just in receipt of your fav or of the 4th instant, enclosing a very remarkable editorial taken from the "Daily States" of New Orleans, Louisiana, entitled "Re publicans and Sugar." Appreciating as I do the deep interest that vou, at the Represen tative ot the largest of the sugar growing Districts i n Louisiana, take in this all-important question, it affords me great pleasure to at once set your mind at rest, by stating that this editorial does not correctly state the attitude that the Republican party will take on the proposed legislation looking to the retention of the duty on sugar. It is evident that this editorial was inspired, not with th view of stating facts, but with the view of throwing consternation into the ranks of the sugar farmers of your State, thereby hoping, by such unfair means, t o influence the voters of your State, The Republican party favors pro tection to all American industries that are in need of protection and J has always favored giving thesug-i ar industry adequate protection. We do believe that there are many other industries in t h i d country besides sugar that shouls be protected, and we would wel come an opportunity to save these industries from the ruinous effects of the free trade policy of this ad ministration, but God forbid that the Republican party should be willing to see the sugar industry crushed out of existence, simply because other industries are not to be accorded the protection of which they are justlv entitled. It must be remembered that the Republican party, in all its past history, has given adequate pro tection to the sugar industry of Louisiana, and under that foster ing policy, a great domestic indus try in me jnoiui ana west une beet sugar industry) has been de veloped, in which the investment, at the present time, is far in ex cess of $100,000,000. and the do mestic sugar industry in the North and West, as well as in the South, cannot survive without adequate tariff protection. If the tariff question is opened at this session of Congress, the Republican party, as in duty bounds will endeavor to save all industries whose existence is now threatened by reason of the effects of the Un derwood Act, but i f legislation should be confined to sugar alone, then the Republicans will be only too glad to extend a helping hand to an industry that would be doom ed without such legislation. As I understand it, the Demo cratic party proposes to retain the present one cent duty upon sugar. and as long as the war lasts, this will enable that industry to live, but without the conditions brought about bv the European war, a one cent duty would not be sufficient to give adequate to this great in dustry. I notice you have introduced a bill ptoviding for the restoration of the duty on sugar which was carried in the Payne-Aldrich Act. I do not know what the attitude of the Democrats will be on this measure, but if it is left to the Republican party, I feel sure that your bill will pass. In conclusion permit me to ex press mv approval of your district sending you (a protectionist) to Congress. With best wishes, I am, Yours very truly, (Signed) J. W. Fordney.
