SHOWS THAT THE
RATES ARE WELL MAINTAINED

Carbonate of potash, on which there is
no duty, takes a rate from North At
lantic ports to Chicago of 10 cents per
100 pounds less on import than on do
nestle traffic, and from one port such
difference is greater than the import
rate.
The commission states that il has
found TT difficult to compare the duties
with differences in rates between i'm
port and domestic traffic. because tho
duties i'm q large majority Of cases are
based wholly or partly on value. while
the rates are based on weight because
the rates on each class into which in
land traffic is divided apply TO a great
many articles Of diverse character and
widely different value, and because the
several commodity rates mentioned in
the tables covered a number of grades
of the same article, on which varying
duties are imposed. Many variations
We're found between the description of
an article In the tariffs of the carriers
and I'm the customs laws.
