Sugar Convention Fallacies. By George Mathieson. (Published by the Writer,

Hackney Wick, N.E. 3d.)—Those who wish to con- sider the story of the effects of the Sugar Convention on the con- sumers of sugar, whether as food or for manufacturing purposes, cannot do better than buy and read this little pamphlet. A bettor working example of what happens when Governments interfere with the free market and reject the doctrine of tariff for revenue only could not be found. Unfortunately, this working example has cost us many millions already, and may end in the production of a real " ruined industry."
