One fifth of our entire customs revenu

would suppose that IN enlightened fnanc
committee would recommend spch alter
on this important article as would simplif
the system. But practical people make
mistake. The honorable chairman of tn
Finance Committee of the Senate. who afte
assisting in making eleven tariffs was I'M
able to discover the difference between
revenue and protective tariff, is unable e
discover that ia proposing six different rates
lion dollars of revenue over to the discre
tlon OF say twenty or twenty-five appraisers
in the United States. no.
The Finance Committee proposes the fol.
lowing duties on raw sugars:
On all sugars not above No. Dutch
standard IN color, and on all syrup of sugar.
cane, Melada or concentrated Melada. IA
cents per pound. On all sugar above No.
and not above No. 10, cents.
Above No. 10 and not above No. 13, 81
cents.
Above No. Is and not above No. ls, 81
cents.
Above No. Is and not above No. 20, 3
cents.
Above No. 20 and on refined, 4 cents.
Thus it will be seen there are six different
rates. Now, 1t is necessary to say that out
OF $50, SAC, 600 revenue collected on sugar in
1869, no less than s2S. 1854 s52 sc was on the
lowest kind imported, viz: under No, Ia
Dutch standard. This is the refining sugar
which now pays uniform duty Of three
cents pound.
The wisdom of the Finance Committee
has divided this into three different rates,
viz: Not above No. Z, not above No. 10, and
not above No. -. Thus it is in the discre.
ton OF Mr.. Makes, Mr.. Styles, or perh aps a
distinguished miiItsry officer, who presides |
over the fortunes Of the apprsiser's Office |
rs assistant or examiner, to mistake No. s.
which pays two cents for No. Z. which pays |
one and three-fourth cents per pound duty, |
which, in eingle cargo of 1900 tons Of |
sugar, would amount to about 5000 differ I
ence. The mysterious Dutch standard is |
especially inapplicsble to the sugars we i'm. |
port, as the standard in Rotterdam for sugar
is taken from the Java clayed sugars, while |
the sugars that are used here are made by |
either centrifugal or the old process,
Hence the color, which is to be the
only guide to the appraiser is absolutely de-
ceptive. He has often to reconcile gray
lsh white to q brownish white, and neither
the rehners nor the merchants are satisfied
with this complicated, silly arrangement.
III dulles ON sugars are to be law, the law
ought not TO be so framed that it can be in
the power Of oAiciaIs-snd sometimes very
subordinate ones-to mistake in the duties
OF sugar. The great bulk of the importers
object to euch a loophole. They wish to nav
duties honestly and not be at the mercy or
appraisers. They have right to eau upon
Congress to give them a simple law. made
fo- the benefit of the revenue and not for the
advantage of subordinate and arbitrary
officials.
