"On being erported abroad, the sugar is freed
from the ercisc ana additional tGres, because
'the excise is an internal revenue tax, and if it
was collected on exported sugar it would be-
come an export duty" That is precisely the
point we have all along been emphasizing. that
Russia RENTS upon all exported sugar all the
taxes she levies upon sugar in the home mar
ket and that such remission in favor of eX-
portation practically amounts TO a bounty on
exports. That is precisely the system with
which all other European sugar countries. ex-
ceptfng only Sweden, encourage exports. They
remit or refund the home consumption duty
when the sugar is exported Some of them, it
should be added. also pay direct bounties on
exports. while others pay bounties on produc-
ton. But in all cases the remission of excise
on exports is recognized to be export bounty.

MONEY And BTSINESS.

Security quotations yielded little during the

calculated to unsettle the market. There were

many weeks government holdings of the pre-

Foreign exchange rates are influenced by the

finances have assumed unusual Importance

zHE OPENERS OF THE TARIFF QUESTION.

How do the Republican Congressman who
refused Justice 10 Cuba for fear OF opening the
tariff question feel in view of the Iowa plat
form? When while pretending an earnest wish
TO give reciprocity TO Cuba. they said they did
mot dare 10 do so for fear Of precipitating a
discussion of tariff schedules in general they
'avere warned that instead OF avoiding tariff
discussion they would invite It. They were
told that the surest way TO draw attention from
a problem which they were not yet prepared to
deal with was to give the people the one bit Of
legislation in any way related 10 the tariff
which they earnestly desired. OF course, the
out and out beet sugar men cared nothing about
the tariff. Their purpose was the defeat Of
any concession TO Cuba. There were, however,
influential Republican leaders who would have
been glad to see Cuban sugar receive conces-
sions but who were so timid about touching
even remotely the tariff schedules that they
encouraged the beet sugar insurgents and
blocked all action. How have they succeeded
in closing the tariff question?
Two years ago II almost looked as IL the tariff
question had passed out of politics There were
not wanting accomplished political prophets.
both Democrats and Republicans. who said that
the protective theory would never again be an
issue between the parties. They argued that
with the progress OF invention and the growth
of manufactures the old difference between pro-
1ective and revenue tariff advocates would grad
1ally settle itself. Democrats freely admitted
the wonderful progress of our industries under
the stimulus of protection, and Republicans with
equal frankness conceded that some schedules
were outgrown already and others would be
from time to time Nobody, for instance, made
any pretence that the existing leather tin
dudes would with any fitness be continued If
we were making a new tariff, but everybody
was content to leave well enough alone, enjoy
Just rates which might be rendered inappro-
pirate to changed conditions OF trade. Suddenly
the people were told by politicians that they
could not make the concession they wished 70
Cuba. because of the tariff. What they had
before regarded as harmless anachronisms in
evitable in any tariff more than year old they
were asked to consider as obstacles to the fu-
flment of national duty. They were forced
10 wonder If schedules must not be full of
abuses and in need Of immediate attention when
their merits were TOO tenuous TO endure the
discussion which might arise incident of
Cuban reciprocity. The result of It all is
widespread agitation of the tariff. The old free
traders have taken heart The Democrats have
eagerly reached out for issue which they
hope to unite their discordaDt factions; and a
large number OF Republicans are awakened and
saying, as in Iowa that it is high time for out
grown schedules 10 be revised.
Thus have the timid guardians of the tariff
ssrec,pitated the tariff question. 1t does not yet
