In defcunce 20 the wishes OF those in
terested 10 beet sugar production, that the
senate rate OF | .95 cents on refined sugar
might be retained as an increased eucOur-
0Eemeni to this industry, the duty on raw
sugars b increased .Vlia cents, so as 10
make fhe increase on them che same as the
Increase on refined sugar ana thus leave
the ditfcrential between raw sugar and re-
hned the same IA IN the house bin. And to
reet the objection which has been urged
teal the house rates on low grade raw
sugar show u higher ad yalurem than those
on the higher grades the duty on Is degree
sugar Is reduced O5 cent ana thon the duty
per degree increased regularly from O3

by this arrangement the duty on raw
sugars Of 100 degrees purity Is raised from
LIS cents tas proposed originally by the
house TO IS2la cents, and the duty on
fned sugar Is raised from i.S7la cents (as
proposed originally by the houso) 90 e5
cents, thus giving the same diirerewttal of
l21a cent between raw and refined sugar at
this point as was originally given by the
