Special to Tit k Astokiax. Washington, D. C.,April4. Opposi tion to the proposed cut in the sugar schedule comes in from various sources to-dav. H. A. Brown of AEass, a noted sugar tariff expert, addressed a strong letter to AlcKmley and the members of the ways and means committee, and to senator Allison, of the senate hnance committee, and to congress at large, in which he criticises the vagaries of the ad valorem sugar tariff schedule, prepared by the Republican majority of the committee. .Brown claims that the classifications in the present sugar tariff are reason ably correct, and that the raising of the color hue From Id to 10 is playing into the hands of foreign producers of American refiners, as well as to the sugar trust people. He also claims that under the present ad valorem schedule low grades of sugar will not be sent to this market, but will be worked inlo higher grades, and there fore the poorer classes will be deprived of cheap, pure, refined sugar, and be compelled to buy expensive refined sugar or put up -with yellow re fined sugar, doctored with glucose. He further claims that the ad calorem bill will increase the false in voicing and under-valuatiou frauds, and that a European war, a short for eign sugar crop, or some other untold event, may at any time double or treble the foreign cost of sugar and double or treble the duty on sugar. Ife says it costs the most when protection is greatest and cAr certa. least when it is least protected, but refiners and sugar trust people can operate with free sugar as readily sis with dutiable sugar, and regulate their outturn, and buv to suit them selves in either case. Brown, in his letter, officially com pares the corn crop or the west, which averaged SS03 per acre in 1SS7, to the sugar beet root crops, which averaged $6,750 per acre the same year, and shows by otlicial figures that the consumption of imported and domes tic sugar in this country for the fiscal year ended .Time U0,18S1), was 57.1G per cent, per capita, of which there was pro duced in the United Stales 11.1G per cent ad calorem. The sugar schedule, he characterises as a bill to increae under valuation frauds to encourage sugar monopolists at home and abroad, to destroy our sugar industries, to oppressconsumers and to perpetuate a direct iutcrnal revenue taxation.
