THE TREASURY TARIFF REPORT.
The comparative bregliy of the Report
from the Treasury Department upon the
modification Of the duties on imports for the
purpose of providing revenue adequate
to the ordinary expenses Of the Govern.
ment, enables US TO lay it to-day promptly
before our readers. For the project Of a
BIZ, framed at the Treasury, "to provide
revenue from imports, and TO change and
modify existing laws imposing duties on
imports, and for other PURPOSES" which
accompanies the report, we have not room.
Nor do we think that its publication would
serve to instruct those who are most inte-
rested in its provisions, but rather 10 mis-
lead them; because, although We have no
doubt that the recommendations Of the Sc.
cretary Of the Treasury viii be respect
fully considered BY those to whom they
lare addressed, they still are bat recon-
menialions, which Congress may or may
not think proper TO FOLLOW.
1t is sufficient, perhaps, for present IN
formation to our readers, TO state that the
rates Of duties proposed are in general ap.
pagently high, though probably not above
the rate required for the purposes Of reye-
nue., having been graduated with evident.
/ " careful examination and adaptation to
each other. Some idea of the general
rate Of duties proposed by the Secretary
may perhaps be formed from a selection
