CUSTOMS DUTY ON TEA.
Secretary Gage VIII Recommend n
Reduction of One-HnIf.

II Is stated at the Treasury Department
that Secretary Gage viii recommend IN
his annual report that the duty on i'm
ported tea be reduced by one-halr As it
Is now the duty is 10 cents a pound. In
1900 the lmportatioGs OF tea amounted TO
53,ooa.o'' pounds, valued al 81. .325. gS7. This
tea paid duty of s. 230. .3J7. The lmporta-
uons in the fiscal year ended June 30
1901, amounted 10 IS, ,s06. .452 pounds at a
value Of $h,m7.S $40. on which the duty was
&s9N0,6l5- The reason why the duty IS 70
be reduced, il IS said. is because the i'm
portation, as the tariff law stands now
results IN an inferior grade OF tea being
sent 20 the United States and that the
Government can very well afford to lose
half the duty now collected.
