MEETING OF SUGAR MERcHASTs.-New York, April 18th.
A meeting OF New York sugar importers and refners was
held to-day. Resolutions were adopted to the effect that the
meeting disapproved Of the tariff on sugar as proposed by the
Ways and Means Committee that the interests of the impor
ter, refner and consumer of sugar, as well as the interests Of
the Government in the collection of revenue, ought to be
equally considered in the formation of a new tariff on sugar;
that such duty should not be imposed on the basis of yielding
a larger revenue than under the existing tariff, sugar already
being one of the most dearly taxed articles on the list. The
following additional resolution was added
ResOtUed, That if Congress adopts the pOlariscOpe we de-
precate 4 division Of sugar into classes where the difference
Of a single degree of polarization would involve a heavy differ
ence in the duty, and recommend that upon all sugars not
above No Is standard in color, the duty should be assessed on
a graduated scale corresponding to the saccharine richness as
ascertained by the pOlarscOpe, and that there should be a diff
ference Of five cents per hundred pounds on each degree.
