Rnssia.s Rctalintory Duties.


The wisdom and propriety of Secre-
taIy Cages action relative to the col
lection of countervailing duties on Rus
sian beet sugar grow more and more
apparent. Strong representations on
this subject had been made to our
government by the German ambassa-
dor at Washington prior to the decision
OF Secretary Gage, and Il protest had
been entered in behalf of Germany
against discrimination in favor of
russian sugar. accompanied by an in
tillation that Germany might feel
called upon to impose higher rates of
duties on American products unless the
grievance should be remedied. That
sucll IL course would have been taken
by Germany under the continued irri-
tation OF having 10 pay Il higher price
than that paid by Russia for the privi-
legcs of the American market may be
considered reasonably certain. Then,
indeed. would the situation be Il serious
II for our exporters. We sell to Ger
many every wear $3.50. 600, 900 of our
products. against only $10,000.0CO sold
to Russia. and OF the latter sum not
more than $~2..5G0.D00 is subject to the
Increased tariff put in force by Russia.
1ietaliatory duties on $3.50. O00, O0O. or
retaliatory duties on $2,500.O0O wns
the alternative certain to be sooner. or
later presented TO Secretary Gage, and
lie naturally chose the smaller amount
by ordering the collection of counter
vailing duties OF Russian sugar pend
ing II judicial determination of the
question whether Russia does or does
not pay some sort of bounty to her ex-
porters OF beet sugar. For his choice
of action in such Il dilemma Secretary
Gage is OH all accounts to be commend
ed rather than censured.
1t is of additional interest to know
that the United States minister at st.
Petersburg confirms the statement of
Secretary Gage that the additional du-
ties lately imposed by Russia do not
apply to imports of agricultural ma
cllinery from the United States. 1t is
also stated on reliable authority that
imports of railway materials and sup
plies from the United States, being
known in Russia as imports for the
government, are not subject to any
additional duty.--Amcrican Economist.
