toms districts in the United States to
the value of S32. 2.454.477 during the
week ending September A. 1915. on
which duties were collected amount
ing to s3.531.47S. or an average ad
valorem rate of duty for the week of
10.s per cent, The annual average
ad valorem rate for 1913. under Re-
publican law. was l7.6 per cent. a
rate which yielded sufficient revenue
for the Government and accorded pro-

average ad valorem rate in the Demo

dwindling treasury balance, and the
advantage being taken by foreigners
of the free list, particularly on farm
products.
