10 add any words whatever.
Mr. Stevenson then opposed the amendment
o .at Mr. wright as going beyond any proposition
winch had hitherto been approved. The utmost

Do, as it laid tax Of 20 on, cloth worth so
cents, and this ON iabEc used by the poorer class
of citizens.
Mr.. Martindale replied, and defended the 4.
mendment, as going 10 accomplish the gcntieman's
iavourite object of introducing the common wool
OF inc country into our own manufactures, and thus
securing home market for the farmer.
MIR. Wright denied that the anne ndment went
beyond any rate hitherto approved: for the zen
tieman himself, and MIR Sutherland's amendment,
proposed a tax of cents on wool costing
cents ID. which was so per cent, besides an

shall be estimated and assessed the actual value
OF such mandatory, at the port or place into
which the same shall be imported.''
Mr.. Barney objected to this amendment, on the
ground that the 40 per cent. GI uaIorem would
have 10 be counted on the original cost of the i'm
ported goods, 0S augmented by all The subsequent
charges.
Mr.. Insham said he approved Of the principle of
the amendment; but tboughtit premature and crude,
unless other provisions were adopted 10 prepare for
such an alteration in the existing system Of revenue
laws

better TO have distinct BILL containing all the cor
responding measures necessary TO accompany the
