WASHINGTON, Monday. Dan. 50, Il


I wilI,herefore merely u1akr slight sketch OF II,
and give YOU the substance sf the accompanying
bin. The Report aIludes TO the unsettled and the
uu;ns,r,ac,ed s,a;e of ,he psblic mind upon the
suhiect-resress that the operation OF the cash sys
tenn OF duties has not been longer tested than has
been possible in the present depressed STATE OF
conmerce-adni,s that something may be Heees-
sary to mitigate the rigor. of cash duties, ana ex
presses much hesitation as 10 the expediency even
of the measure it recommends.
After examining the system which prevails in
England (and France) somewhat in detail, and
howing the obvious advantages arising TO her car
Wig trade. Sc from their privilege eatrepot
(which advantages would not accrue to this eoun.
try under similar systeni,) the Committee argue
that .rrh determinations in commodities and such
distinctions as exis, in England and France IN
respect TO different ports could net DO established
here, and that such system would CRAFTY no in'
,eres, in this country Tho necessity OF restrain
ing excessive importstion is spoken ct. and an an
swer is attempted 10 the common assertion that,
without such syste the large capitalist will en-
iov advantages of the small importer. The Com
rni,see saw that they have furnished the simplest,
the most comprehensive and least excePtionable
structure which the necessities of commerce
conld require" The difficulty of consriviag
plan whereby the complex provisions OF the draw
back can be dispensed with is discussed, ard the
