While the duties in the following tariff are assessed in pesos (silver), the monetary unit of Costa Rica is now the gold colon. This seeming contradiction of values is fully explained in the following communication from the Costa Rican minister in Washington: LEGACIÓN DE COSTA RICA, Washington, June 13, 1899. DEAR MR. EMORY: In answer to your favor of yesterday, it gives me pleasure to inform you that the mark $ used before the figures in the column of tariff rates per kilogram, etc., means peso. The reform decreed in the monetary system of Costa, at present in course of operation, establishes the colon as the unit of value, but one colon represents exactly the same amount in gold as one peso represents in silver or currency, as they were balanced equally to keep all the values as they stood at the time of the enactment of the new law. The duties, therefore, may be paid either in colons or pesos, and the latter in silver or paper. Yours, very sincerely, Mr. FREDERICK EMORY, Chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, Department of State. J. B. CALVO. Import tariff of Costa Rica. [The duties in the following tariff are levied by weight, and unless otherwise specifically specified, the unit is 1 kilogram (2.2046 pounds).] Acids: Acetic, citric, phenic, muriatic, nitric, oxalic, salicylic, sulphuric, and tar Transmitted by Consul Caldwell, of San José, on March 8, 1898.
