'resorter" is the peninsular title for
summer boarder.

in bout twenty minutes-I can hear 1t
jingling along the bay road now"
He was the picture of venerable old
age as he sat there in the sunshine. His
hair was like the whitecaps on the bay,
his color was of the rich brown that
comes on a fair skin long exposed to
wind and weather, and his eyes were
yet of brave blue. He wore an old
coat, jeans pantaloons and gay carpet
slippers-the favorite footgear OF the
peninsular sailor when ashore.
You've been a saAor?" / ventured
as he was looking across the bay to
where the cliff came up from the water
like an uncouth giant fresh from the
bath,

sense to run them-just stand on the
bridge and see that you don't run in

running a sailing vessel-you don't
have an old propeller churning away
whether there's fair wind or calm.
J You must have had strange adven-

Adventures and wrecking and every

thing that ever happened to me was

pointed to the low, crescent shaped is
land that lay near the entrance to
Abraham bay. THAT it was true
makes it all the queerer."
l answered that a true story was Oft
en- stranger than those in the maya
zines.
"NoW you're talking sense" he re-
piled heartily, for there never was no
truer story going than this one and
ag'in there wasn't no queerer one. But

he concluded artfully.

Secretary GaEe's Proposed novenue Amend
ment to tho Tarir mn.

WARRINGTON, July 7.-Secrctary Cages pro-
posed amendment to the tariff bill placing an
internal revenue tax on certain refined sugars
Is as follows:
That n tax Of l cent per pound shall be levied
and collected upon any refined sugar which.
after the passage Of this act, shall he produced
from sugars, tank bottoms, syrups OF cane
juice or Of boot juice. meladab concentrated
melada, or concrete or concentrated molasses
imported into tho United States prior to the
passage Of this act. The Secretary Of tho Treas
ury Is authorized and directed to make suitable
regulations for the enforcement of the provi-
sions of this section.
In his letter to Senator Allison recommending
the insertion of the amendment, Secretary Gage
says In effect:
Under the present law the duty on raw sugar
Is 40 per contum ad valorem. The usual stand.
ard Of comparison for raw sugars Is that which
tests 96 degrees, and tho average value of 80
degrees sugar importations, during a period of
year, was 2.12795 cents per pound. 4 per
eentum tho sycraEe duty, per pound on such
cent per pound. This rate OF duty Dor pound
on tho raw sugar, plus the l cent internal reve-
h fnrer TAX on mron Ine fenhS SSo, fTd9n ,napIp by the
the sugar refined after the taking effect Of tho
new tariff Fact, from the raw sugar imported
slightly above this figure on account Of wastage
In refining. The rate proposed by the Senate
schedule on refined sugar Is l.85 cents per
pound, which, 1t will BIO seen, is in excess OF the
rate already paid or assessablc on the raw
sugars imported under the present law plus the
proposed tax of l cent per pound on the refined.
The stock of raw sugars In tho hands of re-
flncrs usually does not exceed 100. 900 tons.
which an average duty of not more than S5
cents per 100 pounds has been assessed gives
cent per pound when the sugar ia refined and
put upon the market: which means q profit Of
$12 200, 900 to 81 .0OO,0 900 or more on account
OF the tariff legislation.
1t seems to be a simple, business proposition,
In view of the possible deficiency In the rove
nue., to make this enormous quantity of raw
sugar pay its fair share of taxation, and 1t is e.
timated that tho proposed amendment, II adopt
cd, will yield, within the next six or eight
months, $14, 000, 900 to S16, 900 900 Of revenue.
