The Tariff of '46-Ad Valorem Duties.

The Tariff OF 45-Ad Valorem Lntles,
in IA recent article, wa advcr,el 10 the tar
if Of 40 and to the nature and tendency Of
al ra'orem duiies-ihe leading feature ol our
present system of revenue.
In conclusion, we declared our full belief
that the present system OF imposs would
sooner or later, overthrow the prosperity of
the country.
How and when this is likely to happen,
we shalt now consider.
The effect Of tariff Of low duties, espc-
cialIy when arranged on the al ralorou
principle, is, temporarily, to augment tie i'm
portations OF the country-to increase the
activity Of commerce aud enhance the bust
ness and The prosperity Of large cities.
The law of '46 requires that the duty be
levied on the foreign cast of the article, ex-
ccpi where sach actual cost is less than the
ma'kc, value in the foreign country at the
time of shipment, in which case the duty i.
levied upon the latter.

From this time, Ibrahim had but one
thought-that of becoming rich enough

with these he bought himself better
clothes, and he was now sometimes sent
to conduct the donkeys hired out for ri,
