Sugar Gouging and the Tariff Debate

The piece argues the Fordner McCumber tariff limits sugar duties to 1.7648 cents per pound and imposes duties on Cuban sugar, claiming federal revenue remains small while profiteers gain. It estimates 176 million in duties from domestic sugar with profiteers taking over 200 million, framing the tariff as favors to sugar barons over the public.

Government sugar tariff and consumer price effect

The tariff affects the consumer price of sugar but does not change the revenue the government collects. the profit driven price to the public does not alter government revenue. The passage argues that revenue is insulated from profiteer pricing, with only consumer costs rising.
