se and during such suspension duties shall be levied, collected,
and paid upon sugar, molasses, coffee, tea, and hides the product of or
exported from such designated country--
the duties hereinafter set forth; and
Whereas it has been established to my satisfaction and I find the fact
to be that the Government of Hayti does impose duties or other exactions
upon the agricultural and other products of the United States which, in
view of the free introduction of such sugars, molasses, coffee, tea, and
hides into the United States, in accordance with the provisions of said
act, I deem to be reciprocally unequal and unreasonable:
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 3 of
said act, by which it is made my duty to take action, do hereby declare
and proclaim that the provisions of said act relating to the free
introduction of sugars, molasses, coffee, tea, and hides the production
of Hayti shall be suspended from and after this 15th day of March,
1892, and until such time as said unequal and unreasonable duties and
exactions are removed by Hayti and public notice of that fact given by
the President of the United States; and I do hereby proclaim that on and
after this 15th day of March, 1892, there will be levied, collected, and
paid upon sugars, molasses, coffee, tea, and hides the product of or
exported from Hayti during such suspension duties as provided by said
act, as follows:
All sugars not above No. 13 Dutch standard in color shall pay duty on
their polariscopic tests as follows, namely:
All sugars not above No. 13 Dutch standard in color, all tank bottoms,
sirups of cane juice or of beet juice, melada, concentrated melada,

above 75 deg., seven-tenths of 1 cent per pound and for every additional
degree or fraction of a degree shown by the polariscopic test
two-hundredths of 1 cent per pound additional.
All sugars above No. 13 Dutch standard in color shall be classified by
the Dutch standard of color and pay duty as follows, namely:

1-3/8 cents per pound.
All sugar above No. 16 and not above No. 20 Dutch standard of color,
