views are published this morning upon the action of the

importation of American pork and the probable effect OF
retaatory measures the part OF Congress Importers

that an import tax such would prove equivalent 70 the
stopOage OF their importation, say two dollars gallon
would result in strong protest on the pant OF the people
OF those nations. Anything short OF prOhib0ry tari
would simply result in the procuring or wines throgh
