Here are Two objects keptcarefully and constantly
in view First, the Protection of the Home Pro-
ducers of such books as we do or may advantage
ously print here by The specific imposition oftwenty
cents per pound duty on uubound and thirty cents
per To- on 5ound books likely 10 Interfere with our
own printers Secondly the acilitation OF advance
ment in Literature aud Art by allowing all WORKS Oh
rare or peculiar character such as would NOT IN Tue
usual course Of things, be printed here, TO come 10
st very low duties Thus the present duty on box
of cheap and common books, such as schoo'books'
bibles uopuar works of science or felton, &c. is a
God deal more than they would pay under twenty
per cent ad ualorem duty while costly and rare
works viii pay ten 10 forty times es much under
Mr. Walkers Tariff as at present. a Pension DC
,onary, costing sls in Europe will Pay 50 so duty
under Mr.. Walkers bill, though the duty now
charged upon it is bu, fee cents per pound, or per-
haps thirty cents in all This work is of 3 class
which will not be printed here ct any rate, and yet
Of which few copies are needed rot tor any man s
pecuniary advantage but 10 subserve tie general In
teres,s Of Education and Literature. Yet this IS
what s called imposing HIGH duties ON articles re-
ouired by the Poor, with ioc duties on those de-
marded by the Rich. The present Tariff on Books
can hardly be improved, whether the interests OF
American makers or American purchasers OF BOOKS
are regarded Mr.. Walkers iudiscriminate twenty
per cent duty will prove disastrous alike TO the Trade
ind the book buying People. Ed
