Specific vs.. Adj yalorem Duties.
GEO. II. WILLIAMS.

The superiority of specific over ad
valorem duties, because Of the curtail-

is evident that even the more clear
headed and practical free traders have
recognized and acknowledged the fact.
But specific duties have another value
which is not so well. or so widely rec

to American industries because the
amount Of the tariff remains the same
no matter how much the foreign prices
may fiuctuate. The protective tariff is
designed to measure the difference in
the cost of production. which may re-

price changes. AID valorem duties on the
other hand, vary as the prices of the
foreign goods vary, and are least when

wool selling at II cents per pound at
our ports would be IL cents per pound.
presumably about what is necessary for
protection. Now suppose that foreign
wool should drop to s cents per pound
at our ports. Then duty of 100 per
cent would be only cents per pound
instead of IL cents. duty too low to
protect. A specific duty OF IL cents
per pound would remain duty Of IL
cents whether foreign wool sold for 8
