session would not be needed, was ba sed Who'll

ever. under the temptation OF the low duties
nominally established by " the Con Tolerate

ultimate revenue and the necessary deranre

permit trade 10 take that course. to the plain

nothing would be easier than to turn the cur
rent, and for importers at New York to order
their goods via New Orleans in order TO save
the difference of duty, which, compared with
the Morrill, tariff, would not only compensa tie
for the loss of time, bat afford a large profit
