/ the due execution thereof. One measure for in
creasing the revenue, and the only one think of
| is the restoration of the duty on tea and coffee
| These duties would add probably Sls0o0,000 L
| the present amount received from imports. and
would in no way increase the prices paid for those
articles by the consumers. The articles are the
products of countries collecting revenue from ex
ports, and as we (the largest consumersl reduce
the duties they proportionally increase them

manufactures of all sorts. All duty paid upon
such articles goes directly to the cost of the article
when manufactured here. and must be paid for by
the consumers. These duties not only come from
the consumers at home, but act as protection to
foreign manufacturers of the same completed arti-

wholly fraudulent or are far in excess of the real
losses sustained. The large amount of losses

laws. by attidavits of fictitious or INSCRIPTIONS

and plantations not only far beyond the posi-
Bile yield of those places for any one year but, as
