be his duty to suspend, by proclamation to that effect, the provisions of this act relating to the free introduction of such sugar, molasses, coffee, tea, and hides the production of such country for such time as he shall deem just; and in such case 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 Colombia 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 Colombia 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 Colombia 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 Colombia 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, concrete and concentrated molasses, testing by the polariscope not 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: 

  All sugars above No. 13 and not above No. 16 Dutch standard of color,
  1-3/8 cents per pound.

  All sugars above No. 16 and not above No. 20 Dutch standard of color,
  1-5/8 cents per pound.

  All sugars above No. 20 Dutch standard of color, 2 cents per pound.

  Molasses testing above 56 deg., 4 cents per gallon.

  Sugar drainings and sugar sweepings shall be subject to duty either as
  molasses or sugar, as the case may be, according to polariscopic test.
