Of giving early attention to the many
questions embraced under the respective
heads of the several schedules.

the duty of the manufacturer, farmer, and
all others to impart to the Marshall and
his assistants all the information required,
and we doubt not that, our citizens who
have Just reason to be proud of their sta
tistics, will gladly furnish the desired
facts when called upon. Should the
Marshall fail, however, to obtain the nec-
essary information on account of any neg
ect or refusal on the part of the respond
ent, it is proper to state that such iecus-
ant incurs heavy responsibility, and be-
comes liable to the penalty, under the
10Th section of the law of Congress, which
reads as follows:
