Changes In the Bill.


can conferees made public a statement
concerning the conference report in
which il reviewed the changes made.
OF sugar the statement says:
The house differential between raw
and refined sugars and the general
features of the house schedule are
preserved and the senate amendments
increasing the differential to one-fifth,
and providing for reduction of one
tenth of the duty on raw sugars not
above 81 degrees, which would have
given duty of 1.39 on IS degree sugar
and only 1.26 on 81 degree sugar are
not adopted. In Difference TO the
wishes of those interested in beet sugar
production, that the senate rate of
195 on refined sugar might be retained
as an increased encoura cement 10 this
industry. the duty on raw sugars is
increased seven and one-half hun
dredths, so as TO make the increase on
them the same as the increase on re-
fined sugar, and thus leave the differ
entail between raw sugar and refined
the same as in the house bill And to
meet the objection which has been
urged that the house rates on low
grade sugar show a higher ad valorem
than those on the higher grades, the
five hundredths of 1 cent, and then the
duty per degree increased regularly
from three hundredths las proposed in
the house blll), to three and a half
hundredths in order TO raise the duty
on raw sugars the same as On refined.
BY this arrangement the duty on
raw sugars of 100 degrees purity is
raised from LIS las proposed origin
ally by the house, TO 1s21a, and the
duty on refined sugar is raised from
1S7t5 las proposed originally by the
house,. to L95. thus giving the same
differentiaI of 1919 hundredths between
raw and refined sugar at this point,
was originally given by the house.
las this arrangement viii increase
the revenue over $2,Oo0,ooo and at the
same time give additional encourage
ment to the production of sugar in
this country, it is thought TO be a
desirable contamination.
