MAY RAISE NO VAL0REM
RATE ON CUBAN SUGAR

WASHINGTON, Nov. z4--The abolition
of the 20 ad valorem differentials in
favor of Cuban sugar provided by the
present tariff law and the substitution
OF an ad valorem rate Of from 40 to
IS per cent. for the present specific rates
probably will be undertaken at the ap-
preaching season of congress. The sug-
gestion has been made by some of the
independent rehners and IT has been re-
ceivec with favor by Republican sena-
tors who will be active in any tariff
legislation that may be undertaken.
II is commended that neither the Cuban
planter nor the American consumer re-
ceives any considerable portion OF the
benefit derived from the present prefer
entail agreement, and ii is urged that a
reduction on some importations thus
could be provided for while at the same
time practically preserving the protection
at present afforded to American sugar
makers. Almost all Of the sugar brought
into the United States comes from Cuba.
The average rate now paid on Cuban
importations Is equivalent to about 50
per cent and IL is urged that the ad
valorem rate suggested would quite
cover the Cuban protection. while at the
same time the effect would be to lower
the rate from other countries. which
is equivalent 10 rs per cent.
Very few matters connected with the
tariff received more quiet attention dur
ing the last session than the sugar
schedule and there is every reason TO
believe that it will be among the first
Of the schedules to be taken up at the
next session by representatives and SEN
ators individually IL not by congress
officially. II the ad valorem plan pre-
walls. the polariscopic test required un-
der the present law will be eliminated.
