power, which provides, that mo highe

portation into the U. States Of America o
any article the growth, produce or manu-
tacture Of the kingdom and possessions o
Portugal, than such as are or shall be paya
BILE on the like articles being the growth

TO the treaty. as well as to the intention o
cong'e expressed in proviso to the tarif
act itself, that nothing therein contained
should be so construed as to interfere will

treasury circular was issued on the 10th o
July, 1874, which, among other things, de
cIared the duty on the port wine Of Portu
gal, in Casks, under the existing laws ant
treaty, 20 he six cents per ga.IOr, ard di
rected that the excess Of duties which haC
been collected on such wine should he re-
funded BY virtue Of another clause ir
the same section Of the act, it is provided
that all limitations Of port, or any Other
wines. "shall hc subject to the duty pro
vid"d fer the genuine article" limitations
OF port wine, the production of France
are imported to some extent into the Uni
ted States; and the government 6f tha
county now claims that, under a CorreC
construction Of the act, these limitations
ought not to pay a higher duty Than that
imposed upon the original port wine oi
Portugal. It appears TO me to LP unequal
ard unjust. thai French limitations OF Port
wine should he subjected TO duty Of iif-
teen cents. while the moro valuable article
from Portugal should pay Il duty Of six
cents only per gallon, therefore recon-
mend to congress sWch legislation as may
be necessary to correct Ehe Inequality.
