To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We therefore suggest that, as our Ctoverument proposes to make the Oaban tariff on merchandise trom the United States the same as on merchandise formerly exported irom Spain, the duties placed on paints should be levied at the rate which Spain charged on the principal com- ponent part of all paints, viz, the rate of duty on linseed oil. The duty on linseed oil imported into Cuba from Spain was $2.50 per 100 kilos, as against the duty of $4.50 per 100 kilos on linseed oil from any other country.... This favors Spain by 45 per cent lower duty. The duty on tin plates of which the container for paints imported into Cuba is made is $1.50 per 100 kilos from Spain and $3.10 per 100 kilos from any other country. This favors Spain by 51 per cent lower duty. It is evident if Spain had framed the tariff on paints intelligently that the duty would have favored Spain in the same proportion on paints as it did on linseed oil and on tin, and therefore we contend that the duties on paints imported into Cuba from the United States should be fixed at least at 50 per cent less than the duties on paints imported from any other country.
