u-nt, fixing the rate IT duty on sugar not
above No l5 Dutch standard. testing not
above - degree, at - luu of Il cent a

cent fl pound for each additional degree
or fraction Of degree He stated that
the rate proposed los him was exactly one
half Of the existing rate, and if hi, propp.
,ltIon was adopted, he would follow it with
amendments, making similar reductions in
the other grades. The present duty on sugar

Of - per cent His proposition was 70 reduce
the duty, and make it an al valorem equiv
aent Of 81 per cent The dutiabe list Of
the existing tariff afforded Il duty If T.
per rent on the average. and the Mills hill
proposed t. reduce that average u 80 per
cent The present average Of r. per cent
was brought about by the high duty on
sugar and if the duty on sugar could be- re
duced D. Il per cent. it would bring down
the average duty Of the existing tariff to 40.
percent His opposition thus involved civ
ing to sugar larger equivalent al valorem
than va, given t. all other articles-the
average being only 40 per cent while he
proposed b. give sugar II per cent. He did
not propose to set aside the protective duty
in regard ~ sugar but he proposed to re
