~, TARIFF REDUCTION. III.
The present tariff system is in many re-
spects unjust. 1t makes unequal distribu
lions, both Of its burdens and its benefits
This TACT was practically recognized by q
majority Of each house Of Congress in the
passage OF the act creating the Tariff Com
MISSION. The report Of that commission
will DO PLACED before you ut the beginning
OF TINS session.. and will, trust, afford you
such information as to the condition and
prospects OF the various commercial
agricultural, manufacturing, mining anC
other interests OF the country, and contain
such Suggestions Tor statutory revision q!
will practically aid your action upon this
important subject.

ing years reached first SlS6, OO0. OOO. tlIer
