of lower saccharine strength, and
the Secretary of the Treasury shall
prescribe suitable rules and regula.
tons to carry this provision into eff
feet; and provided further, that all
machinery purchased abroad and
erected in beet sugar factory-and |
used in the production of raw sugar |
in the United States from the beets !
produced therein-shall be admitted |
duty free, until LIST of July, 1892;
provided that any duty collected on
any of the above described machin-
cry purchased abroad and imported
into the United States for the uses
above indicated since January !,
| 1890, shall he refunded.
On glucose the House rate of \ of
cent a pound is retained.
The Senate provided that the SUI
gar schedule and bounty provisions
was to take effect March lst next,
but the conference fixed upon April
lst as the date of its operation, with
the proviso that No. 13 sugar may
be, meantime, refined in bond with
out duty.
The following summary of the
effects of the sugar schedule will
render the foregoing more intellegi-
BILE to your readers. The general
tariff hill goes into operation
October 9Th, but merchandise in
bond prior to October lst, may be
withdrawn up to February LIST, 1891,
on payment of the old rate of duty.
Raw sugar, up to No. l6 Dutch
standard, is to be free from April
LIST, 1891, when the sugar schedule
goes INTO operation.
The Reciprocity section may be
put into effect by proclamation from
and after July lst, 1892. This pro-
vision gives fifteen months absolute
, free trade In sugar. 1t cannot be
applied to any sugar producing de-
pendency of Great Britain because
these do not discriminate against
American farm products, and Eng
2 land admits these products free.
e The West Indian possessions of
, England have an area of 1880
square miles, and sugar is grown
upon nearly all of them. Their
contigulty to New York will be of
: great advantage in developing the
sugar industry under the stimulus
of free trade with America. Mauri-
titus will also participate in the adj
u vantages of free American sugar
S market, in addition to which there
V is the important sugar producing
9 dependency of British Guiana, in
South America. Brazil, Mexico and
other American countries will also
: promptly avail themselves of the
= free sugar tariff and enact such
e laws between now and July lst
o 1892, as may satisfy the State De-
partment that they favor the pro
y ducts of the United States, while
e there can be little doubt that Spair
s. will make tariff concessions on &C
" count of Cuba. For these reasons i
>, is safe TO say that there is very lit
tie probability indeed of Presiden
n Harrison or his successor using thu
| the Reciprocity whip. Free suga
= is assured unless the policy of thu
Republican party should change il
the interval. And Hawaii must bow
!. to the inevitable and admit Ameri
can products free irrespective of thu
treaty, or a reciprocity proclamation
m would speedily bring her to time.
|" Touching the bounty on Ameri
can sugar: The bounty schedule
comes into operation July 1st, 1891
and is TO be operative four years
that is, up to July 1st, 1895. !
bounty of &c. per ponnd, or $40 pc
- ton is to be paid ON all domesti
30 80 sugar polarizing 80 test and up
:, wards; on sugar polarizing from 8
~ to 80 test the bounty is to be 1ac
~ per pound or $50 per ton. This wi
~ let in maple sugar. Machinery fo
- the manufacture of beet sugar is dc
~ clared free between January Isl
10 1890, and April lst, 1891. TIL
- will involve a refund of duty O
W.T. several plants.
~ The effect of this bounty claus
90 is this: 1t will give this season
no cane and beet sugar crop the pr'
" lection of the PRESENT. duty, and
~ is calculated that the cane sugar (
ID the South and the beet sugar of G

:, be marketed by that time. TIL

fraction of it can be delivered {
the Coast before April lst, 1879
