Every advance toward a free ex-

civilization. Every obstruction to a free
exchange is born of the same narrow,
despotic spirit which planted castles up
on the Rhine to plumber peaceful com

is tax upon consumption. Every facil-

They are also consumed with anxiety to

AFTER six weeks of wearisome con-
sideration and debate, resulting in S74
amendments. the Dingley tariff bill
passed the senate July and is now in
the hands of conference committee of
the two houses. Before the close of the
present month, and possibly within a
few days, the new law, from which so
much is expected in the line of i'll
creased revenues, is likely to be in eff
feet. 1t is likely to be a number OF
months, however, before the real merits
of the measure as a revenue producer
can be determined, for the reason that
the great importing houses of the
country had bought enormous quaint
ties of nearly all kinds of dutiable
goods in anticipation of an increase of
tariff dues even before congress passed
the celebrated ex-post facto resolution
with view to having the new duties
apply to all goods imported after the
beginning of the fiscal year. The prin-
ciple involved in this resolution has
virtually been declared unconstitution-
al by the United States court of an
peals in decision recently rendered in
q California case, wherein it was held
that goods held in bond could not be
required to pay any higher rate of duty
than that in effect at the time of their
importation.
