Washington. July 1T is understood that oecie-

following might properly be incorporated IN 'ho

and collected upon any refined sugar which after
the passage of this act shall be produced from

1t is argued at the Department in support OF this
view that under the present Jaw the duty on raw
sugar Is 40 per cent ad valorem. The usual stand
ard of comparison for raw sugars is that when
tests Sc degrees. and the average value or 20 de-
gree sugar importatons for four months IN the

one cent per pound. This rate Of duty on the raw
sugar plus the one cent internal revenue tax on
the refined contemplated by the foregoing propo-
sition would make the tax on the sugar refined

or possibly slightly above this figure on account
