Preside IT ARTHUlt, in his message,
expresses great concern in behalf OF the
abolition OF import duties on works OF
art, for fear American artists may be de-
arrived Of the advantages of study
offered in Italy. WelOv art and all the
works of art, and h We no objection
specially to the free entry of art articles,
bntis it not wisest and more just to our
own people at large. to begin the free
list with articles of necessity rather than
with luxuiies? The rich. who alone eau
indulge their tastes for The beautiful, Tor
tho grand elevasing and onnoblihg
works OF art, can afford to pay an import
duty on them, but the citizen, who lives
alone on wage service, cannot afford to
pay even the lightest revenue tax on
sh0se articles OF prime necessity.
