oughiy all the decisions OF courts and
LOT the general appraisers for the last
is years, interesting the meaning OF
the language of the tariff laws. and has
framed the language OF the various
paragraphs to meet those decisions. 1t
Is hoped that 1t will prevent much liti-
cation and will In h future give the
courts q clear understanding Of the in
tention Of congress.
THE bill contains a carefully pre-
pared section (section 29) extending the
privileges of drawback on material inn
ported on which tariff has been paid
and the product Of which are manu-
featured in this country when exported.
1t is believed that this section carefully
guards the revenue and at the same
time H~beralizes the provision and will
stimulate our export trade.
1T is, provided hat the bill shall go
into effect the day following its enact
ment.'
