II mas be stated, on excellent au-
thority, that there is every chance
that when the sugar schedule is final.
ly passed it will contain a provision
for one cent general rate, with
eight-tenths Of cent on Cuban sugar,
with the three-years, clause elimin-
ated
The bill now provides for rate
of about 1.22 on sugar testing So de
grees, or about one cent on SO de-
grees Cuban sugar.
The complaint is, that not only is
the tariff reduced, but free sugar Is
provided at the end of three years,
and the three-year clause is object
ional. II that class were eliminated,
without other changes, the rate would
incur Democratic opposition, but a
slight concession in the rate might
be accepted in return for the elimina-
ton of the three-years' clause.
Compromise Possible .~..:
That is why some of the Demo
cratic senators believe that one cent
general rate or an eighttenths of a
cent Cuban rate will be the basis of
compromise, but it is further sug-
gested that there will be an under
standing that at the end of three or
four years the cane sugar growers
of Louisiana and the beet sugar pro-
ducers will be required to show
whether that rate has injured them
or not This, according to informa-
ton from high Democratic sources, is
the probable outcome of the sugar
schedule in the new tariff bill.
