best to arrange gradual reduction from year to year.
On the whole, the scheme of Mr. McLane requires
much modicaon-lt brings the average duties down

we do not like the scheme well. We thought that ii
would be best, in the spirit Of compromise give the
manufacturers say 70 or % cent average at first, and
sink gradually in the duty till reached the revenue

gradual reduction, Is the greatest have to
