PARAGRAPH 79-SPONGES. weight and consequently reducing the cost. This enables sponges to be apparently sold to the general trade at from 50 to 75 per cent below the regular market quotations. As for instance: An unadulterated sponge that is worth from $5.50 to $6.50 per pound in New York (representing an advance of 50 per cent within the last three years) is sold adulterated all over the country at from $3 to $4.50 per pound, the price depending upon the quantity of loaded substance injected into the sponge. Fifth. The American sponge-fishing industry needs no protection, neither does the manufacturing or bleaching industry, provided the raw sponges are admitted free. But with a duty on the raw material, we can not compete with the foreign houses in export trade. Sixth. It is manifestly against Democratic and Republican principles to allow a manufactured article to be admitted into the United States at one and the same rate as raw material, when an American industry employs laborers at a good wage to turn the raw material into a manufactured article. Seventh. Thirty per cent duty on chemically bleached sponges will protect our American industry and at the same time produce a revenue almost equal to that proposed by a duty of 15 per cent on all grades of sponges as provided in the Underwood bill. In conclusion, we trust that we have clearly shown that nature already protects the Florida industry, enabling the Florida fishermen to obtain high prices for their products without respect to imports, therefore we hope you will favorably consider our plea, either by admitting all sponges free of duty or by placing a 30 per cent duty on chemically bleached sponges and admitting unbleached sponges free, as outlined herein. Either provision will afford us an opportunity to successfully compete for the export trade, expand the home industry, and enable us to reap a benefit from the opening of the Panama Canal.
