Apped-, ficduty'on any given article is a steady sourcp of revenue, it is certain; ilt Can not be avoided or circumscribed,; and if any protection arises from5 it, it is a home protection, and not a foreign one. It also puts to rest the difllculty as to home and foreign valuations, which always' arises under the atdval ore'm system- That some protection will be afforded is inevitable, if tiedu- ty goes up.
