PROPOSED SUGAR TAN.
Secretary Cages Suggestion for Rails
ing More Revenue.

Secretary Gage has suggested that
Il provision like the following might
be incorporated in the new tariff bill,
viz:
Section --. That "A tax of per cent
per pound shall be levied and collect
ed upon any refined sugar which, after
the passage of this act, shall be pro-
duced from sugars, tank bottoms,
syrups of cane juice or of beet juice,
melada, concentrated melada, or con-
crete or concentrated molasses, inn
ported into the United States prior to
the passage of this act. The Secretary
of the Treasury is authorized and lii
for the enforcement of the provisions
of this section"
An advocate of this proposition eN-
plains its purpose as follows:
"Under the present law the duty on
raw sugar is 40 per centum ad va
loren. The usual standard of com
parison for raw sugars is that which
tests degrees, and the average value
of degrees sugar importations, dur
ing period of four months in the
early part of the present year, was
2.12195 cents per pound. At 40 per
centum the average duty per pound
on such sugar was. therefore, trifie
over $500 of / cent per pound. This
rate of duty per pound on the raw
sugar. plus the per cent internal rev.
enue tax on the refined, contemplated
by the foregoing proposition, would
make the tax upon the sugar refined
tariff act, from the raw sugar import
ed prior thereto. SIS cents per pound,
or possible slightly above this figure
on account of wastage in refining. The
rate proposed by the Senate schedule
on refined sugar is 1.05 cents per
pound. which. it will be seen. is in eN-
cess of the rate already paid or is
sessable on the raw sugars imported
under the present law, plus the pro-
posed tax of per cent per pound on
the refined.
"The stock Of raw sugars in the
hands of retiners usually does not cX-
reed 100000 tons. The possession f
100000 to 100000 tons of raw sugar.
on which an average duty of not
more than eigthy-fve of a cent per
one hundred pounds has been
assessed. gives the refiners promise
of n profit of over one cent per pound
when the sugar is refined and put on
the market which means a profit Of
81 10000 to S16.OOo.OOO or more on
account of the tariff legislation. It
seems a simple business proDositioH.
