The undersigned 10 be unnatural and in

The probable effect nf The future oper'

uIactures and mechanical trades Of the |
country. particularly il mo home valuation |
be established. and no equivalent Tor such
home valuation found. gisss rise 10 m
quiry too important 10 be overlooked.
Il 10 fully acknowledged that all duties
should be laid with primary reference In
revenue; and iI 10 admitted. without hest
, talon az reserse. that no more money
should be raised. under any preIsncs
whalever. Than such an amount as is ne
cesssry for an economical administration
, OF the Government. But Within these
limits. and 90 incidental 10 the raising Of
such revenue % may be absolutely necrs.
ssry, IL 10 believed that discrimination
may be made. and duties imposed IN
such manner 90 that. while no part Of the
country will suffer loss or Inconvenience.
. most beneficial degree Of protection will
be extended 10 the labor and industry al
large masses Of the People. while the
whole Country will be rendered more pros
pernus in peace. and infinitely stronger
and better prepared il foreign war should
come upon Us. The principle OF dis.
crilninaIion has Obtained from the period
Of the foundation Of the Government. ln
many cases i, may be found 10 be indis'
; pensable 10 the interests OF the revenue
I itself; and IL. in fixing system OF duties.

policy Of the country so TO sppor.ion them

. 20 favor our own manufactures al the same
E time that the revenue itself 10 beneh'ed'
/, land no injustice done TO any, IL would
: seem proper aud wise to reject arbitrary
b. limits aud the idea Of forced and IN
}. natural uniformity.
e The undersigned feels no difficulty II
J. admitting that duty Of twenty per cent
i cd salorem, assessed upon the value %
Iimporled articles in our own ports
j. would in many instances be rate suih
i, .cienily high for the benefit OF the reve
% nue., and also afford reasonable encou
n rasemenl to home producers Of the sam
!. uarcles. Asto those, therefore. the ob
o ieet Of the act of 1899 will bs accom-
s. Pushed, if IFS provision for home vslua
,e ton be carried out BY Congress. But b
ia snll supposes ,hs. there are several Dc
4. scfip,,ons of imported manufactures On
q, produce, which would vel bear higt
m e. duly than twenty per cent. upon N

,e venue To The Government, while, IN regaT
il 10 some Of them, il will be found iha

c, large classes. engaged in producing sim
y, liar articles. will be greatly depressed.
