Rerente and Pr0teciioR-From tho debates IN
tile House on the Revenue Bill il appears to be The
for money enough TO meet the necessities of the
Government. Mr. Underwood proposed that
Mtry per cent. al pdlOrem be made the standard
OF duties. The proposal Of Mr.. j. p. Kennedy is
10 observe just principle Of Discrimination in
laying The dutl's, and not keep to II uniform rate
that would include all articles alike, without IS
ptct to domestic interests or foreign reaiions. by
imposing high duties on sOUie Few articles, such
ms silks, wines, sprc, luens, and the like, con.
siderable increase Of revenue might be had.
10 the propriety of this who can object? The
ohiy question seems to he whether or not ii would
be proper To enter upon the subject of dscrlniili-
atilg duties the present session, when might lead
TO protracted discussion for which there is not
time. The temper OF the House, MS indicated
from day to day in the course ct debate might
regulate the tllins i'll some sort.
