Sugars not above 12 D. S., 2½c per pound plus 50 per cent equals 3¾c per pound
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The Joint Resolution of April 29, 1864 explicitly states that sugars not above 12 D.S. are subject to a tariff of 2½c plus 50 per cent, which equals 3¾c per pound, and the resolution is noted as 'in effect for sixty days.' All details in the claim are accurately grounded in the source text.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is largely faithful to the passage. However, there is one minor issue with the 'time' qualifier: the valid_to field should be null OR should specify a calculated end date (approximately 1864-06-28, sixty days after April 29, 1864), but the passage states the resolution was "in effect for sixty days" without explicitly naming an end date. The claim correctly leaves valid_to as null, which is appropriate. All other qualifiers are faithful: viewpoint is 'author' (correctly neutral, not attributed to a named source), stance is 'asserts' (matching the passage's straightforward statement), sentiment is neutral (appropriate for a factual tariff listing), context accurately reflects the Joint Resolution of April 29, 1864, and the quote appears verbatim in the passage supporting the claim.

assertsneutralsource: sugar-pg73616
Sugars above 12 D. S., not above 15 D. S., 3½c per pound
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage under the Tariff act of June 30, 1864, effective July 1, 1864, which specifies that sugars above 12 D. S., not above 15 D. S., are subject to a tariff of 3½c per pound. The quote provided matches the passage exactly.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.85 pass — The claim is mostly faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim from the June 30, 1864 Tariff Act section. However, the time qualifier has a minor issue: the 'when' field states 'after July 1, 1864' but the passage specifies the tariff was 'effective July 1, 1864', meaning it applies from that date, not after it. The valid_from date of 1864-07-01 is correct, but the 'when' description should be 'from July 1, 1864' or 'effective July 1, 1864' rather than 'after July 1, 1864'. The viewpoint, stance, sentiment, context, and quote are all accurate and faithful to the passage.

Tariff Act of July 14, 1862

sugar above 15 D. S., not above 20 D. S., not stove dried subject to tariff of 3½c per pound effective August 1, 1862 ⟨under Tariff Act of July 14, 1862⟩
assertsneutralsource: sugar-pg73616
Above 15 D. S., not above 20 D. S., and not stove dried, 3½c per pound
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact phrase 'Above 15 D. S., not above 20 D. S., and not stove dried, 3½c per pound' appears verbatim in the Tariff act of July 14, 1862, section, confirming the tariff rate and conditions without any rewording or generalization.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.30 fail — Multiple qualifier failures: (1) TIME: The claim specifies 'after August 1, 1862' with no end date (valid_to: null), but the passage shows this tariff rate applied only under the July 14, 1862 act until superseded by the June 30, 1864 act (which changed the rate to 4c for this category). The valid_to should be approximately 1864-06-30, not null. (2) CONTEXT: The claim restricts to 'under Tariff Act of July 14, 1862,' which is accurate for the quoted passage, but fails to acknowledge that this rate did not persist indefinitely—subsequent acts changed it. (3) VIEWPOINT: The claim attributes to 'author' when the passage is itself a regulatory text presenting tariff law, not an authored interpretation of it; this qualifier should reflect the source as the legislative acts themselves, not an author perspective.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly supported by the passage. The exact phrase 'Above 15 D. S., not above 20 D. S., and not stove dried, 3½c per pound' appears verbatim in the Tariff act of July 14, 1862 section, with the effective date of August 1, 1862 also correctly stated.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly attributes the claim to the Tariff Act of July 14, 1862. The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage states the tariff rate without dispute. The sentiment is neutral, matching the factual tone. The time qualifiers are accurate: the effective date is August 1, 1862 as stated, and the valid_to date of June 30, 1864 is reasonable as the next tariff act supersedes this one. The context correctly identifies this as being under the Tariff Act of July 14, 1862. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and accurately supports the claim about the specific sugar category and its tariff rate.

tariff act

sugar above 16 D. S., not above 20 D. S. subject to tariff of 3¼c per pound effective on and after December 31, 1870, which means January 1, 1871, but later amended immediately by December 22, 1870 act ⟨under Tariff Act of July 14, 1870, later amended by tariff act of December 22, 1870, to be effective immediately⟩

Sugars above 16 D. S. and not above 20 D. S., 3¼c per pound
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage under the Tariff act of July 14, 1870 (as amended). The exact quote 'Sugars above 16 D. S. and not above 20 D. S., 3¼c per pound' appears verbatim, and the effective date of January 1, 1871 is correctly identified in the passage.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.60 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: (1) VIEWPOINT: The claim uses 'author' but the passage is a primary source document (tariff act itself), not attributing the statement to a named source—viewpoint should be null or 'tariff act'. (2) TIME: The claim states 'after January 1, 1871' with valid_from '1871-01-01', but the passage explicitly states the July 14, 1870 act 'to be effective on and after December 31, 1870, which means January 1, 1871'—this is ambiguous whether it includes or excludes Jan 1, 1871. More critically, the passage notes this act was 'Later amended by tariff act of December 22, 1870, to be effective immediately', meaning the July 14 act may not have been the operative rule. The time qualifier fails to account for the superseding December 22, 1870 amendment. (3) CONTEXT: The claim says 'under Tariff Act of July 14, 1870' but should clarify or note that this was amended immediately by the December 22, 1870 act. The quote itself is accurate and verbatim, but the temporal framing is unfaithful to the passage's disclosure of the amendment.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The exact quote 'Sugars above 16 D. S. and not above 20 D. S., 3¼c per pound' appears verbatim under the Tariff act July 14, 1870 section, confirming the tariff rate and product specification without any rewording or interpretation needed.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint correctly identifies 'tariff act' as the source. The stance 'asserts' is appropriate for a statutory provision. The sentiment is neutral as befits a tariff specification. The time qualifiers accurately capture the effective dates from the passage: July 14, 1870 effective December 31, 1870 (January 1, 1871), amended immediately by December 22, 1870 act, with valid_from set to 1870-12-22 reflecting the amendment. The context correctly specifies the dual acts. The quote appears verbatim in the passage under the July 14, 1870 tariff act section and accurately supports the claim about the 3¼c per pound tariff for sugars above 16 D.S. and not above 20 D.S.
