Ord Member for Frpde,ihsted's Country
District (HeGeltt) according 10 the remarks
made during the election for the Tariff:
Commission, 1t appeared that the prices
were fixed according to the general prices
not only for MuSc0FadO; but tot all Sugars,
including crystals. But this principle can.
not be Correct, because the crystals being
higher in price, must unuaturally raise tn
price for MnSCOVadu, and this accounts for
the fact that for muSG0vadO Sugars we pay
500 instead OF 5 oie; and if 1t is So that
tile Commission proposes and the GOV eth:
ment approves, still 1t is tile opinion held
by one side of the Commission, which the
Government approves.
The Governor said, the question raised
by the hOnOu.a able Member HEWITT IL
easily answered. The Central Factory
has for some years been producing CFys.
tails, at the same time common sugars
were made on estates.
The rule aCeor ling to which the prices
for the use Ut thG Customs House is to be
fixed Only allows one price, which, hith-
ert0 has heen the price of good MNScOvadoy
the factory sugar cOHSc qnentlT has paid
export duty as If it were musCoFadO:
Now AZ Crystals are produced more
aud more OH private est ties the question
arises in what way the higher value Of
that sugar shall be taken into account in
the calculation Uf the export duty, and
Government has the question under con
SideratiOnj but he would maintain, that
hitherto tile custom tariff price had beer
that Of Musc0vadO and az u rule it had
been below the actual price obtained by
pTi Vate parties.
2nd Member for Christiansted'S CotIn.
try District lJGmiesOn) said, he Had also
been in the Tariff Commission. and he
had always been under the impression
that the tariffs were regulated and are
to be regulated according to the prices
for MuscOvatlO and MuscovadO alone, We,
knew of n0t Ffing else coming under
consideration. Factory Sugars or CryS~
tails were not mentioned. Or the &C.
casiOHs where he hal sought TO get it
admitted, he had been over ruled.
The Governor: The law does not say
it shall Oe MuScOvadO Sugar.
3rd. Member for ChristiansBe6s Coun--
try District (JGmiesOm) Correct the Law
does not say MuscOvadO alone; bat at
the fine the law was given, we bad none;
bnt MuSCOvadO Sugars, consequently.
Tie (G0oerWOr1 admit ted that it is so.
Bird Member for Fresierikstrd'S Country
District (HeNittJ thanked His Excellency
for the information bat st the same time

what authority the Commission can raise
the prices, especially when one Member
