visions Of the act Aforesaid relating to the removal OF distilled

In addition TO this authority given to the manu-
acturer understand it is customary for the manfaet
only to pay the duties he wishes TO sell his goods
At rate the law here seems to give such author
ty. But II there discrimination between the In
ernal Revenue law and the law for collecting duties on
foreign imports IL would be for Congress to consider IT,
This bill IL in all respects Just. and ought not TO be
econsdered 1t has the approval Of the Treasury De-
parment; aud although my friend from Rhode Island
seemed to intimate th there was conspiracy between
the Secretary Of the Treasury and the importers OF the
country think be entirely mistaken in his fears.
Nor have been able 10 how tue revenues OF the
country 10 be essened by this measure. IL will be-
under certain circumstances an accommodation III
will save the importers the necessity OF coming TO Con-
and asking for special laws twill save them, as
have said before from the necessity of exporting their
property and then remporting It, and thus Will avoid
an unnecessary expense. But the bill. should II be.
cone law, will not be ayqiled Of 10 any very great
tent 1t Is not TO the advantage OF the importing mer
chants to keep their goods three years or one year IN
the bonded warehouse. That Is only done on rare oc
casions at times when trade is very much depressed
For nstance two years since. when the Congress OF
the United States passed law in one day through both
Houses raising the duties 80 per cent II would have
been very unjust Indeed. if there had not been then
law to allow goods TO be placed IN public stores, Tor
during the same session OF Congress that duty was en-
TREY removed in some cases.
Mr. PONEEoY-I have only had my attention called 20
this bill quite recently. but IL occurs TO NE that We
ought not 10 make law deranging the adjustment
which the Committee on Finance supposed tbey had
fixed the bill of last year. at least without their con
sleratiOu
