The amount Of ingenuity expended in
counterfeiting food products Is almost in

business men not willingly dishonest find
themselves forced into the traffic by the

Ways and Means Leaders Be-

MUST FULFILL PROMISE
BOTH SIDES, HOWEVER, ARE PRE-
PAIRING FOR A STRUGGLE.
Mr.. Smiths Proposition to Secretary
Shaw to Enforce Countervailing
Duties on European Sugars.

The ways and means leaders were firm to.
day in the belief that the plan for Cuban
tariff reduction will eventually be adopted
by the republicans Of the House. 1t Is an
administration plan, it Is said, formulated
in pursuance Of the policy heretofore out
lined and they think will be so accepted
by the republican party In Congress
1T looks to me- said Mr.. Russell. a
member Of the ways and means committee,
to q Star reporter this afternoon, "as II
the republicans of the House now partici-
pating in conference were reaching the con-
clusion that a reciprocal tariff arrange
ment between Cuba and the United States
had practically been promised Cuba upon
the establishment Of an Independent form
of government
This conclusion being reached. should
presume the republican party would exc
cute the obligation"
The foregoing significant statement is be-
lfeved to explain the pertinacity with
which the ways and means committeeman
are pushing the campaign in behalf of the
~ per cent tariff reduction proposition.
Mr.. Smiths Suggestion.
There were many conferences today be-
tween groups Of republicans in the two fac
tions now struggling for supremacy in
formulating the policy Of Cuban relief.
gle tomorrow night.
The ways and means leaders are said to
have won some recruits to their side today
and the beet sugar protectionists are also
claimed to have strengthened their forces.
Representative William Alden Smith OF
Michigan called upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury today and suggested possible
solution of the Cuban sugar question. lie
urged the Secretary of the Treasury to en-
force an additional countervailing duty
against European sugars to offset the bene-
fit of the German cartel to bounty fed
sugars. He said the Secretary would be
within his right in such action, and that ll
would give Cuba an advantage of 1 cent a
pound in the market price of sugar, which
would continue until September, 1903, when
the Brussels agreement for the abolition OF
all sugar bounties would go into effect.
Mr.. Smith also saw Speaker Henderson
and assured him that the position of the
beet protectionists in opposition to the
ways and mean committees plan involved
no fight against the House leadership. He
said the protectionists were merely stand
ing up for principle which did not reflect
upon the leadership Of the republican party
in the House.
An informal poll Of the House, made by
one of the beet sugar protectioniSts, dis
closes. according to his figures, that seven
ty-eight republicans are in favor of the
ways and means committee proposition
seventy-three opposed to it, and forty eight
nOn-committai.
