Mr.. BRADBURY. Mr. President the objection which
made at the last session is that alluded to by the

satisfied Tor one, that there instance OF the kind
An amendment might easily obviae difficulty Of that
sort, although think amendment is unnecessary for

machines in Canada, which legally manufactured

can be brought up for consideration Tomorrow because

Mr. +. This is bill in the ordinary form; and, on
