Trade was dell; bat "on the other hand," .aye the
Colonial Slandard," some impalas has been given to
sugar cultivation by the favourable reports of the
producer markets received within the last few months.
Great complaint, however, is made, and very justly se,
respecting the alteration lately made by government
in the standard samples by which the duties on sugar
are levied at the Custom bows. The effect of this
attention is to Mx seprs of ordinary quality
an additional le. 3d. per owt. It is sufficiently
grievous that an article of such precarious growth
and of seek guard coasamptios should have been
molested foe additional duty seder a war tariff, but it
is he the highest degree unjust, by an artful device
suites that now resorted to by the Treasury, to seek to
increase the re at the cost of a interest that bas
bees melon and so ruinously deptused. Under the
new meadard, sugars that lam year paid only 13•9 d.
are now taxed 16e. per cwt., so that on this class of
trudges the additional war tax amosets to 60 per
cut. on the duty levied by the ordinary tariff. No
other industrial product has Mu similarly treated,
nor would this be 60 if sugar were equally represented
in parliament with tea and settee."
