Queer ready and sufficient answer to this may
be found in the fact that In no tariff ever adopted
trodetoa of sd vaorem duties and that especially
as TO goods whose value was most difficult Of as
our customs under the laws recently adopted. and
to be made perfect by this bill there need be
no fear that the extension of this just and open
system will lead to any of the wrongs and abuses
anticipated.

A most important change In the bin proposed from
the nresent law will be found in the general sub
stitu,on Of ad valorem for specific duties. This
must always be the characteristic OF revenue

nec,ally when they include the plain necessares OF
ne 4 duty which taxes according to kind. pound.

quality always Expresses the less wealthy consumer
and gntens the just burdens OF his richer fellow
citizens. Such inequalities we have mentioned
in the woolien schedule and many still grosser ones
mat might easily be cited could only be hidden
in the specific duties and would appear in

real value of the article taxed the justice OF the
al yalorem system is often admitted by those who
