average rate than the existing sugar
schedule, and will add about 81, 100000 TO
the annual revenue.
The points which remain to be decided
are the distribution of the duty on sugar
above and below 96 degrees. including
the diferential duty on refined sugar,
and the countervailing duty to be levied
upon sugar from bOunty-paying coun-
tries The duty on sugar below SO de-
grees will probably be a fraction Of a
cent less for each degree according to
the polariscopic test, down to certain
point which will be made the minimum
duty. The differential duty, which afS
fords the protection 10 the American re-
fners, will be about the same as under
the existing LAWS Of cent per pound.
The reciprocity concession will consti-
tute 12iA cents for every 100
pounds Of sugar testing SO degrees,
and the same proportionate concession
will run through the schedule Of
sugars testing a less number OF degrees.
There will probably be no concession
greater than this upon refined sugar
The present countervaiing duty against
sugar from bounty-paying countries is
one-tenth Of / cent a pound. The duty
under the new law will probably not
be named IN the law, but the Secretary
of the Treasury will be authorized TO
ascertain what bounty is paid by coun-
tries from which sugar is imported into
the United states, and to levy upon
such sugar an additional duty equal 10
tho bounty.
The details will be considered to-mor-
row, and probably settled at that time.

lasting impress for good upon the youth
Of that day than "Parson' Douglas, as he
was universally called-hrst as n teacher,
under whom sat young Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, and other prominent young men,
and afterwards as q preacher, upon whom
devolved the entire charge Of the Esq
