If this bill be adopted, says the CON-
mittee, it will reinstate the sound, though
long neglected maxim of Adam Smith,
"That everytax ought to be levied at the
time and in the manner most convenient
for the contributort to pay for it," because
it provides thatthe tax shall only be paid
when the imports are entered for consump-
ton, and may be paid at any port in the
United States the purchaser may prefer.
1t will relieve the importer from the me-
cessity of keeping on hand surplus CAPT.
tai to pay the duties in advance, and to
make deposite for the duties on imports
intended for exports. This is an impor-
tant change for the importer and the con-.
sumer, and we may add it is Of much inn
portance that the bill should be adopted.
