Nh. Fu1uoRE observed, in explanation,
that the committee, after careful cxamina-
ton of iho subject, and after hearing all per-
sons who were Interested in ii, had come to
lhc conclusion to recommend this alteration.
The object Of the amendment was to reduce
the minimum named in the second article of
the first section, from 8 cents to Z; and, Sec
oudy, to prevent the frauds which have been
practscl by introducing woo! of different
kinds in the bale, and also TO mix dirt and
other impurities with the WOOL for the pun
pose of reducing its value. Heretofore this
! low-priccl wool had bcon admitted duty free:
but this bill being a revenue msasurc, it was
proposed to impose a small duty on it.
Mr.. WISE said, if he understood the
amendment, il was to add II per cent. on
the duty on coarse wool provided for in the
bill as originally reported hy the committee.
The bill, as it now stood, imposed duty OF
; per cent. al va.orcm on wool not exceed
inc g cents IN value; the proposition being
to put duty of ) per cent. on wool not eX-
cccding T cents per pound in value the ci-
feet of which was to increase the duty II
per cent.
After an explanation from Mr.. FILLMORE.
Mn. Cus!ING moved to amend the amend
mcnt, by striking out the words "oa wooi

(lIR. c. s1id) was, at a proper time, to
move that wool Of the value of eight cents
per pound, and under, should be admitted
duty free. This description of wool had
