STUMBLING ON SUGAR
THE SENATE COMMITTEES LABORs
WITH THE TARIFF BILL.
All POints Of Difference Have Been
Settled With the Exception OF
Sugar-Tux of War between the
Growers and the Refiners.

Washington. March &. - The Wilson
Tariff bill has been the subject OF an
earnest consultation among the senators
t. day. 1t has reached n certain stage
of completeness, and yet may he thrown
out Of gear by single article. That
article is sugar. and it was generally un-
dcrstOOd that if definite agreement
could Ike reached on this article it would
then be possible to agree upon everything
else. and that the bill could be reported
without delay. 1t is understood that by
1nutual concessions and frequent con-
sultatiOns the demands made by those
Democratic senators who opposed the
bill in the form in which it was first pre-
scented have been met and tentatively
agreed upon: but even these agreements
are subject 10 the approval of the treas
ury department and the needs of the gov
ernment in the matter of revenue. Sec
retary Carlisle has l,een with the mem.
bers Of the committee most Of the day to
discuss and compare changes. but. while
these concessions have been made and

greatest that the tariff makers have to
aontend with. The Louisiana senators
have one plan which does not meet with
favor by the rctincrs. The plan of the
refiners is Objectionable to the Louisiana
senators. A suggestion has been made
that an nd vnlorcn tax he laid, and the
reiners say this would afford them no
protection. Some senators, looking to-
ward concession. have said that if an ad
yalorem rate. il not just to retiners, y
differential be made in their favor. This
IL stubbOrnly resisted by those who
claim that M nd valorem rate would af-
ford them just protection, as the high
er price Of the refined sugar would neces-
state a greater tax when imported than
the raw sugars. 1t appears also that the
proposition for AN increased tax on
whisky is mixed up with the proposed
duty on sugar. If the latter IS agreed
to, the necessity for an increased whisky
tux disappears. For this reason those
who have been insisting upon increases
in the whisky tax are not favorable to .
sugar tux.
