OF commerce, and upon them should be
placed, as far as practicable, the burden

It would be both unwise and unneces-

been the growth Of century: but some
additional legislation Is. I think, desir-
GENTLY comprehensive to meet these re-
pirate limits of this communication. 1t
Is suggested, however, that. all future

the view Of encouraging the use Of such
