NEW CUSTOM TARIFF.
The Transvaal Colony to Work Under
 New Law Soon

Pretoria, Oct 9.-The Gazette says the new customs tariff will take effect a fortnight hence. The existing duty on dynamite is left unaltered, owing to the fact that the questions bearing upon the conditions regulating the manufacture and importation of the explosive into the Transvaal colony are under discussion. The duty, says the Gazette will be dealt with separ- ately, however, as soon as possible The Gazette says: "The amended tariffs is only provisional the govern ment desiring ultimately to enter the customs union on a basis which will not sacrifice vital interests of the Transvaal. The negotiations thus far have been unavailing because the Transvaal does not feel Justified in increasing the duties on certain food stuffs to the extent which the coast colonies consider necessary for the protection of their products Tn the meanwhile the conditions in the Transvaal preclude further delay in adjusting the unjustifable high du- ties ordinarily reasonable but excess in a country which practically has to be reftted. The duties therefore are abolished on machinery, building ma terials, metals and !agricultural im- plements. The large sacrifice of reve- nue involved is considered preferable to increasing by taxation the cost of renewing the industrial capital of the colony. The duties on wines and spirits are increased The duty of six cents each on poles, two cents pound on sulphuric acid, six cents a pound on lead and twelve cent a pound on copper wire are cancelled. All iron will be admitted free, also cement and timber
 A duty on cigars will be levied of $1.50 pound and on cigarettes of $1 a pound. No mention is made of the special duties which were suspended in 1897 but it is expected that they will be repealed.
