BOUNTY ON SUGAR.

A Tariff Expert Says It is Not Good Pot.
ICY and Predicts That This Feature of
tho Mckinley Law VIII Have to be Re-
Pcaled.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. = Henry A.
Brown, of Massachusetts, the noted
sugar tariff expert, has boen in WASH
ington for several days comforting with
leading officials and members OF Con-
gress about the great cut in the duty on
sugar, to gointo effect next April under
the new tariff law, and its effects on the
revoules of the country. Mr.. Brown in
sists that the loss of revenue from max
ing sugar almost duty free, together
with the bounty to be paid to sugar pro-
ducers in this country, will amount to
S70, 900, 600 a year. He is of the opinion
that 1t will be found advisable and that
it will be the duty of Congress to re-
store fully three-fourths Of the present
or old duty on sugar and discontinue or
repeal the bounty feature of the new
law.
He has no doubt that tho rapid in
crease in production of sugar in this
country will very soon cheaper perma
nently the price of that article to Amer
lean consumers and that sustained
duty on sugar would he powerful fac
tor in treating with sugar producing
countries for reciprocity. Mr.. Brown
says his opinion and views on this mat
ter are shared by leading Republicans
in and out of Congress, conversant with
the subject, who are not unmindful of
the demands that are likely to be made
upon the treasury to meet the largely
increased Government expenditures for
pensions, the new navy, etc, in the
near future. More money will have to
be raised somehow to meet this increased
expenditure and it need not be looked
for, he says, from customs revenues, in
view of the reduction of tariff taxes on
many articles and the extended free list
found in tho Mckinley bill.
