DUTY on FRUII, RAISED.
The Rate to Be :Aade Prohib,
tory One

A material increase in the rate of duty
on certain tropica, fruits raised in this
country WAS made Yesterday morning by
the Republican mrmbers Of the Ways and
Means Committee. 1o
duty of 20 cents a cubic foot was
placed on oranges, lemons and lines.
whether imported in bullsgpr in packages
The provision in tire Mckinley law as to
barrels or packages that contain these
articles. and which places the duty at so
per cent, ad valorem, was restored The
present duty on the foregoing articles / S
it was less than 2 cents, inasmuch as
on packages OF a capacity of IA cubic
feet. the duty was l3 cents
Yesterdays increase was made i'm COM
piance with the appeals of the California
fruit producers, who claimed that the pres
ent rate was ruinous, and that the McKin-
ley duty was not nearly sufficient The
committee were influenced by these con
siderations, and after careful investiga
ton satisfied themselves that while the
new rate was practically prohibitory, it
would not increase the cost of such fruits
a quarter of cent in each case, and that
the retail price would remain practically
unchanged, at the same time giving the
American grower monopoly of the home
market.
The fruit importing interests of New
York and other cities protested vigor-
ousiy against any material increase in the
duty. their argument being that foreign
fruits do not compete to any extent with
the American product, inasmuch as they
are placed on sale at a different season
OF the year.
