R.6"ers Resolve Against the New
Tariff BiiI.
New YORK, April IS.-A meeting Of
New York sugar importers and retiners was
held, to-day, at the rooms OF the Importers
and Grocers' Board OF Trade. Resolutions
were adopted to the effect that the meeting
disapproved of the tariff on sugar as pro-
posed by the Ways and Means Committee;
that the interests of the importer, refiner
and consumer Of sugars, as well as the in
terests Of the Government in the collection
of revenue, ought to be equally considered
in the formation of a new tariff for duty on
this article: that the best interests of the
country require, in the formation Of Il new
tariff on sugar, that such duty should not
be imposed on a basis of yielding larger
revenue for 1878, than under the existing
tariff, sugar already being one OF the most
dearly taxed articles on the list.
