That ItaIfan Susnr.

Secretary Cages explanation of the
order made by him respecting Italian
sugar imports Is essentially weak, and
IL ought not 10 be satisfactory TO any
one-not even to himself. Il shows
nothing but an extreme desire on his
part to put into force those provisions
Of the Dingley law which authorize
countervailing dutiss when b0unties are
paid abroad It seems the stranger
too. from the circumstance that until
about the tine Of his appointment as
Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr. Gage
was not supposed TO be much Of d Re
publican. ana was looked upon as lean
ing rather strongly toward free trade
But as an extreme protectionist he IS
now out-Heroding Herod.
In the case Of the Italian sugar, Mr..
Gage has not ordered countervailing
duties 70 be imposed He could not do
that. He has merely made tentative
order holding up the sugar pending in
VestigaIion. This IS iEeXcusgbIe

the department enqUiring whether Italy
paid bounty. Some Of the department
officials found newspaper references to
an alleged sugar bounty IN Italy, and
upon that basis the order was made
that the sugar be not IIquidated until
the bounty question was investigated.
This, in itself. was bad enough But
what is TO be thought Of the action in
the light Of the statement that the or
der still holds in the face of a positive
denial by the Italian Foreign Office that
any bounty Is paid upon sugar export
ed from ItaIy2 Newspaper items on
one side; the denial Of the Italian Gov
ernmeht on the other. Mr.. Gage de-
cIines to accept the Italian official
statement, and upon the basis of mere
suggestion ties up the sugar pending
an investigation. In the absence of
some clear and tangible evidence. he
should have accepted the statement Of
the italian Government without a mo
ment's hesitation.
II is a small matter = best The su-
gar affected must be cf iHfnitesimaI
