in its relation to an article of this description

against imposition in meeting the needs ana

this legislation, it is manifestly duty render
it as effective as possible in the accomplishing ent
of all the good which should legitimately follow
in its train. This leads to the suggestion that
the article proposed to be taxed and the circum-
stances which subjectit thereto should be clear
ly and with great distinctness defined in the
statute. 1t seems to me that this object has
not been completely attained in the phraseology
Of the second section of the bill, and that Ques-
ton may we'll arise as to the precise condition
the article to be taxed must assume in order to
be regarded as ''made in imitation or semblance
OF butter, or when so made calculated or intend
ed to be sold as butter or for butter" The
fourteenth and fifteenth sections Of the bin, in
my opinion. are in danger of being. construed
as an interference with the police powers Of the

constitutionality Of these provisions, and regard
ing them as not being 50 connected and inter

Of the bill should it be deemed necessary, and il
it is practicable at this late day in the session of
congress. The fact, too, that the bill does not
take effect by its terms until ninety days have
elapsed after its approval, thus leaving it but
one month in operation before the next session
Of congress, when, if time does not now permit,
the safety and efficiency of the measure may be
abundantly protected by remedial Legislative ac-
tion and the desire to see localized the benef-
cial results which it is expected will immediate
