I oughiy all the decisions OF courts and
Of the general appraisers for the last
N years, intersecting the meaning OF
the language of the tariff laws. and has
framed the language of the various
paragraphs to meet those decisions. IL
is hoped that it will prevent much liti-
cation and will in the future give the
courts q clear understanding Of the in
tention or congress.
1.-THE bill contains q carefully pre-
pared section (section 29) extending the
privileges of drawback on material i'm
ported on which tariff has been paid
and the product of which are manu-
featured in thfs country when exported.
1t is believed that hi section carefully
guards the revenue and at the same
time liberalizes the provision and Will
stimulate our export trade.
1T is provided that the bill shall go
into effect the day following its enact
ment."
