cUBA's NEW TARIFF.
IT WILL BE MUCH LOWER
fifty Per Cent Has Bsen Stolen Hereto

The new Cuban tariff has been care.
fully prepared, and now lies on the
Presidents table awaiting his APPROX
al, 1t Is intended to have 1t go into eff
feet at Santiago, Manzanilo, Nuevitas
and Mariana on December 1st, and II,
the other Cuban ports as rapidly as
they come into possession of the
United States authorities.
The President and NIL his advisers
believe that In the present commercial
and financial condition of Cuba 1t Is
advisable to make the customs duties
as low as Is consistent with the revenue
requirements Of the government, and
they will average % per cent. upon
what may be termed the neccssarics
of life. Luxurles will carry n higher
rate In making up the schedule, AS
sistant Secretary Howell of the Treas
ury Department. who has charge of
such matters, has taken the third, or
lowest, column OF the Spanish tariff
as his guide. In some cases duties
have been advanced, in others they
have been reduced, but the aggregate
receipts will be about one-third of the
amount of revenue reported by the
Spanish officials. 1t Is estimated that
at least so per cent of the collections
officials under Spanish jurisdiction.
and therefore the people OF Cuba will
have to pay about one-fifth rs much
as they have been IN the habit of pay
ing In this form of taxation under the
new government.
The new tarifr schedules have been
based upon necessary revenue Of
S1O,OOOO0O n year. Cuba needs every
thing In the way of public improve
ments. The policy OF Spnin has pro-
hibited the expenditure of n dollar for
the benefit OF the people. Clean cities,
roads and school houses are needed
more than anything else. The build.
ings occupied by the government are
200. or 800 years old. but answer the
purpose very well. and need not be re.
newed. The nominal revenues have
been about $4,000. 900. but every dol
lar that has been turned into the treas
ury has been required to pay the In.
terest OH the Cuban debt, while the
internal taxes have been absorbed In
the payment of large salaries to an
army OF officials sent over from Spain.
The new government will have no
debt and no interest charges, and will
therefore be able to devote Its entire
revenues to the betterment of the ma.
terial conditions OF the island. The
first thing to be done will be to clean
the cities and Introduce modern sani.
tary methods. simultaneously with
this free public school system will
be introduced for the first time in Gu.
ba, and system of highways will be
constructed to replace the horrible
roads and trails which are useless half
Of the year and always impossible
when It rains.
