That Il expedient that much Of any Of the fore

1t will be that the proposed alteration is only
partial and does not affect the general duty OF l2 per
cent imposed the gre4t Of imported art lies.
The necessity for reduction arises from the great
and Unnecessary excess Of revenue over expendi-
ture and the chief articles selected on which to make
the reduction are those which may be considered
among the prime necessares Of life, as sugar, mo-
lssses tea and coffee At present sugar is subject to
two descriptions Of duty-ad ualorem and specific.
For several years past, the policy Of the Gov
eminent has been rather To favor the impo-
stion Of I'D rat0repl in preference to speci-
fc duties this being point on which the new
Finance Minister differ from his colleague preferrng
specific to nd v0torem duties. The Argument in favor
OF the latter description of duties Is their fairness;
that against them the fact OF their opening the door 10
fraud. There are many cases doubtless. in which
81 ecifc duties may be perfectly fair, az whore the
articles to which they apply do NOT vary much in
point Of quality and value and when they are levied
with discrimination. To place al equal rate OF duty
spOn every cwt of sugar, without reference - its
quality value, would Of course be to tar the con-
sumer OF the inferior article much higher than the
consumer Of the supeT0r-n other WORKS the poor
more heavily than the rich. But when the different
kinds of sugar classified, as proposed for the
purpose Of taxation, this IS not the case.
specific duty on coffee cannot be perfectly fair;
for the value of the best kndsls more than twice "a
much that of the inferior and will, according 10
the proposed tariff be taxed not half high as
the Inferior in other words the rnkers Of bad cof
fee will pay more than twice as much tax on the value
OF the article they consume as those who can afford to
buy the superior article The remark Is true Of
the proposed wine duty Of one shilling per gallon
the best wines costI several hundred per more
than the poorest. The proposed duty, however, is
very low one and il not worth cOnsiderng in the face
of the impending Maine liquor Ia8. Nobody will
question that II Il an Improvement % have only ooe
in preference TO two knas Of duty on the ar-
Gle and IA the specific duty where it il imposed ~
Ia operate, injustice il preferable T. the al gOrem
az stoTdiDg a better protection against fraud, Such
believe il the general conviction derived from ex
pertncr in this country. Il will DO IN sc the
oUtOns propose 10 admit duty free about 100 articles
not included in the schedule Of tho Reciprocity
Treaty 1hese are articles which enter 10 . some de-
cripiion or other Of domestic m41ufactares; are

Dg whith thee exist, o strange aud i1fefensible
anomaly for while printed books are admitted duty
nee except in The Of reprints the authors
bave taken the necessary steps 10 the copy
right, while Imprinted paper IL subject to duty Of
III per cent. Paper though not raw material,
enters into the manufacture Of newspapers ann books
and the principle of encouraging the tree impprtI-
tlon Of such articles ii has exactly The sdme right %
appear in he free list that types aud presses and
printers ink have; and the very fact VI their ainS-
lion and its exclusion from the free list makes the
az omsly the more striking
