Failure to Appreciate
We often fail to appreciate the most vital things in life, because they become commonplace to us. This is somewhat the situation in regard to sugar. We take it for granted that it will always be on the table.
And yet our American farmers and sugar factories must constantly fight for their existence. because of ill advised agitation to eliminate the slight tariff which saves the American sugar industry from extinction by cheap labor foreign competition. We would appreciate our American sugar industry more, if for a time we had to depend entirely on the foreign product.
