THE PROPOSED DUTY on TEA.
A CORRESPONDENT GIVES HIS REASONS WHY IT
SHOULD BE AID VALOREM

A CORRESPONDENT GIVES HIS REASONS WHY 1T
SHOULD BE AID vALoREM
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your article on the first page of this morn
ing's Tribune headed plans for More Revenue
and giving the substance of your Washington tclo-
gram. and its reference to the reimposion of duty
on tea. was read with interest by me. and wish to
call your attention to several matters which are in
teresing in this connection.
In the first place. IT is that for several years
the tea trade in this country has been in favor of
the reimpositon Of this specific duty on tea, and
has urged II upon Congress II is rather an un-
usual fact to have members Of any special trade
urging duty on the article in which they deal. hut
in this II has been found that when the United
States removed this duty and placed itself in the
position of being the only civilized country without
duty upon tea II began to receive the poorer
qualities which were shut out from other countries
by specific duty. This has tended to depress the
trade. decrease the consumption per capita and has
been of no benefit to anybody in the United States.
the only persons deriving any benefit being the for
eign producers The consumer has certainly been
injured by giving him an inferior article.
Now the proposition to make this duty. II reim-
posed ad valorem duty is serious mistake
This would accomplish the end sought for by
the trade of shutting out poor tea bu WOULD Ta ather
tend TO exaggcratc the existing evi ny making me
duty on common tea so low The duty should by al
means be specific. and In this form II Is much more
easily and correctly cOHecNu
AS for the comparative duty to be placed upon tea
and coffee in both articles are taxed the duty
on tea should be much greater than tfat upon
coffee. In the opinion Of many prominent dealers
in both articles fair relative proportion oi dn,y
would be 3 cents OH coffee and IL cents on tea
The amount of coffee imported Is about SIX times as
much as the amount of tea and duty OF j. cents
a pound upon tea would only amount TO about =,
cents per capita per annum for the popi'atoh OF
the United States. or less per capita than the 4"
cents duty on coffee. -
pound of good goes about as far IN con-
sumption seven pounds OF coffee. which IS an
nv fho df
upon than upon coffee. and pound OF GOOD yea
makes so many cups of the beverage that TINS DUTY
would not be perceptihe to the consumer. There
seems TO be good reason that TINS du,y sh3uIn
not be reinposed upon tea. and AZ this time therc
seems the strongest reason in the need of the COY
eminent for further revenue that the duty snould
be reimposod. r. a Niii'Ah''
