THE CHANGES IN DETAIL
HOW THE VARIOUS SCHEDULES NOW STAND
THE REPUBLICANS STATEMENT.
Washington July l9-The Republican conferrees
to-day reported the agreement they had reached on
the Tariff bill 10 the full Conference Committee and
also made public statement concerning the CONFER
ence report, In which the changes made were re-
viewed. OF sugar the statement says: The House
differentia between raw and refined sugars and
the general features of the House schedule are pre-
served and the Senate amendments increasing the
differental one-ffth and providing for reduction
OF one-tenth of the duty on raw sugars not above
81 degrees which would have given a duty Of lSe
on Ss-degree sugar and only 12s S7degree sugar,
are adopted. In Difference 10 the wishes OF
those interested in beet sugar production that the
Senate rate Of l.95 refined sugar might be re-
tanned as an increased announcement to this In
dustry. the duty sugars is Increased seven
and one-half hundredths so TO make the In
crease on them the same as the increase on rehneo
sugar and thus leave the dferential between raw
sugar and refined the same as in the House Dill.
And 10 meet the objection which has been urged
that the House rates on low grade raw sugar sho"
higher ad valorem than those on the hgher
grades the duty 75-degree sugar is reduced hve-
hundredths of one cent and then the duty per oe-
gree increased regularly from three-hundreoths as
proposed in the House bilD TO three and hall nun
dredths in order TO raise the duty on raw sugars
the same as on refined. BY this arrangement 'iie
duty on raw sugars Of lO)degree purity is raised
from l75 las proposed originally by the Housel 10
ls2Ih and the duty refined sugar Is raiseu ioi"
ls7a (as proposed originally by the House) 70 iS''
thus giving the same differental OF twelve ana
haIf-hundredths between raw and refined sugar at
this point as originally given by the HOUSE AS
This arrangement will increase the revenue over
two millions Of dollars and at the same time give
additional encouragement TO the production OF sugar
in this country, 1t is thought to be desirable co
