953, 509 60.
In regard to the PRESENT TARIFF, the Sec
rotary most respectfully recommends to Con-
gress a review and reformation of the act Of
1912 to provide revenue from imports"
"Weightv considerations" he says, 'concur in
pleading for such review and REFORM" These
considerations are mentioned but We have
not had time to read them.-One of the OBJ
jections urged against the existing law which
met our eye in hastily turning over the Report,
it is stated by the Secretary to be its ''lack Of
perspicuity and exact definitions In some Of
the enactments" which ''give rise to different
constructions by differen: collectors of the
customs, so that practically and in fact differ
sent rates of duties on like articles have been
'levIed at different ports In the States con-
trary to that clause of the Constitution which
provides that all duties shall be uniform thro'-
out the Union. He also objects to certain
parts Of the act Of 1912, because, by its provl-
ding in general terms that its provisions shall
not be so construed as to conflict with sub
sistng treaties with foreign nations, 1t occa-
sions much trouble and responsibility to Col
ectors, and is the cause of many complaints
to the Treasury Department. AS respects a.
ny 'incidental encourage and protection
of domestic manufactures" arising out of the
mode of levying such necessary revenue by
duties on imports as may be required for the
support of Government. and to maintain its
faith and provide for the common defence and
general welfare, the Secretary thinks that so
long as Congress shall keep within the ''con-
.ines'' of raising that which IS necessary =
the encouragement thereby afforded to- omes-
tic indnctry s'must be deemed rightful as an
inevitable attendant upon the exercise Of the
delegated power" and in concluding his re-
marks on the subject Of the tariff, he states
that the proposed review and modification OF
the act of 1912 are presented not so much with
view to the action of Congress during its
present occasion, as to awaken attention and
inquiry, and lead the way towards eliciting al
the information necessary for such matured le
gislaton as the important principles and in
terests involved seem to require.
There may be, and no doubt is, much othe
interesting matter in this Report which ha:
escaped our notice on the hasty glance We
have given it, and which will. render it neces
sary for US to advert again to its contents.
