THE TARIFF BILL.
[BY TELEGRAPH.SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Tuesday. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Moss have been interviewing the Premier, with regard to the duty on fruit preserved by sulphurous acid, and sent here for jam making. The Premier says that, in any case, it is now too late to take action; but, at the same time, he is of opinion that it should be classed with fresh fruit rather than pulp. Representations have also been made to the Premier as to the advisability of allowing machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar to be admitted free of duty but they come too late for use, as an amendment in the Tariff Bill. The Premier has promised that beetroot sugar machinery may be introduced, classed as agricultural machinery, and therefore free. If the German Beetroot Sugar Company therefore mean business in the Waikato, this concession should meet their views. The Tariff Bill is expected to be finished in the Legislative Council to-morrow, and passed.
