History of the Controversy.

In the absence of specific information on
that point, administration officials here be-
lieve that the Russian tariff concessions
announced from Oyster Bay, sweeps away
both sets of differential or penalty. duties
levied against American products. The
first resulted from the sugar controversy.
and was levied February 10, 1901. The sec
ond followed the imposition of a counter
vailing duty on a shipment of lubricating
oil which came here from Russia, and was
levied June Of the same year Some
such action this has long been expected
in administration circles. Our government
believes it's contention just and has been
confident that Russia would eventually see
it in that way.
The sugar controversy was the more diff
ficult of the two. and many American pub
lie men who have looked into the matter
Sympathized with the Russian position.
Secretary Gage revoked the countervailing
duty pending an investigation as to the
actual existence of a bounty in Russia.
The cars government maintained that 1t
was not paying bounty. 1t made the same
representation TO the Brussels convention.
A special agent was sent to Europe, inves-
tigatng the question not only In Russia,
but the other countries to which Russian
sugar might CO. He found the number of
sugar refineries in Russia was restricted
by law and their output controlled. The
government assessed a tax of one and
three-Quarter rCuples on thirty-Six pounds
of sugar intended for the home market.
Any amount of sugar above the quantity
permitted. entering the domestic was taxed
twice that sum.
The practice developed of exporters Sc
curing certificate Of expectation on the
sugar sold abroad. and this was sold to
any one desiring to enter sugar in the
home market. and an amount of sugar
equal to that exported could be entered
OH the home market on the single tax. 1t
was the market value of this certificate Of
expectation, fuctuating about one and a
quarter rouples. which was regarded as
securing the bounty to Russian sugar pro-
dlcers. The case was taken to the SUI
preme Court of the United States, which
held that the treasury's regulation was in
conformity with the existing statute.
Russia retaliated by imposing it's penalty,
or war tariff. which is approximately 30
per cent higher than its maximum In sew
eral important classes. notably cast-iron
wares, iron and steel manufactures, hand
tools for use in the crafts, printing imple-
ments. manufactures of tin, zinc and their
alloys, etc. When the tax was imposed
upon Oil a few months later Russia extend
ed the list of articles, subject to the penalty
tariff chiefly to include naval stores and
bicycles. 1t is supposed that we now go
back to their minimum tariff in all arti-
cles. This is the conventional tariff or
the one levied against the products of
practically all the great nations of the
world. Russia does still better by China
Persia and Turkey. with which she has spe-
cial tariff arrangements not unlike thosa
between Cuba and the United States
