4th. rs 20 tte erherse oFthe collection of
aufieS OH i0ihorts.
The successful collection of the duties on
imports, before the Introduction of the re-
sti1s tive sy stem, depended more upon the
integrity of the commercial community
than upon the risour Of the laws, or an eX-
pensive vigilance at the custom house. It is
not to be denied or dsregaIded, however,
that soon after that event, the spirit of ILL.,
cit commerce was kiniled; that it spread
during the late war and that, with every
Just reliance upon tue honor of the Amer
lean merchant, measures of greater ener-
gy have become necessary, for the pro-
lection OF the fair trader, as well as for
the security OF the revenue. Hitherto,
the average annual expense Of the collec-
ton may be stated at near per cent. up
on the annual product Exclusive of the
tess paid by individuals, which may be es-
| tlmated Mt one per cent. more, during a
season of open and prosperous commerce
and it is believed that the effect of an IN
! creased eXpend ture in the employment OF
| the means which are necessary TO prevent
| and detect offences against the laws. will
! so augment the product of the duty, as &c
| afford certain and ample equivalent for
the original advance.
! TIE operation of the tariff exhibited il
| the table A, with the incidents which have
been stated. may be cencisely viewed,
with reference to two periods in the com.
merce ef the United States 1st. Before
the introduction Of the restrictive system
from 1900 to 1907, both years inclusive
and Cd. After the introduction of the re-
sirctive system, from 1903 to 1911, both
| years inclusive. Thus,
