sugar bounty

sugar bounty
A bounty provided for in 1890 by act of Congress on the production of all kinds of sugar in the United States. After the sugar producers, in reliance upon the act, had made extensive and costly preparations, by enlarging their plants, to profit by the bounty, Congress, believing the legislation to be unconstitutional, as it probably was, repealed it. A later act of Congress, in 1895, provided for financial relief of those who had suffered by the repeal of the act of 1890, and this later act was upheld by the Supreme Court. United States v Realty Co. 163 US 427, 41 L Ed 215, 16 S Ct 1120.
