Will Appeal 10 The
Supreme Court.

Appeal will be taken from the decision oi
the United States District Court in Bali
more that Secretary Gage is justified in inn
posing the countervailing duty on Russian
sugar.
The matter is of such great importance to
the commerce Of the United States with
Russia that manufacturers are anxious to
SECURE decision from the Supreme Court
az soon as possible. Wksn the legal fgh, on
the question was begun in the American
courfs it was understood between the Rus
sian and the United States government thst
il should end only when the Supreme Court
handed down its decision.
The effect of the decision OF the court in
Baltimore may be to arouse manufac urers
to determined effort to induce Congress
to modify 10 some way the clause of the
Dingley Tariff laW under which Secretary
Gage has acted. Such movement would
be opposed by the Sugar Trust, which has
approved the application of the countervail-
ing duty on Russian Sugar.
Russia is determined not to repeal the re-
taliatory duties upon certain American i'm
ports which she imposed last spring unless
the United States removes ihs extra duty
from her sugar. AS result of the contro
versy American manufacturers who export
goods to Russia are finding that their mar
ket is being invaded by German merchants,
who, having the advantage OF a lover duty,
are able to sell their goods below the price
set upon American goods.
