duties the average dutiable value OF the
imports during the last three years shall

which no higher rate of duty shall be inn
posed than shall be necessary to compen-
safe for the difference in the cost of labor, at

ton OF such products, after making due
allowance for expenses of transportation,
and that rate of duty shall not in any case,
except on luXuries, exceed fifty per cent oil
