' This may be contenlently effected by a, judi

will not prove onerous to the consun;er,.vnIl
simplify the labors of the "officers'of the rc
venue. At . present, . articles ; composed ; of
vool, colton, flax, and hemp, pay different
'rates ofdutv. .Difficulties4 frequently occur
, in determiningf the duties to which such arti
cles are 'subject .The provision, in the ta-
. . riff, that the duty upon articles composed of
X: L V . vsrioiia materials shall' be regulated by the
I V werial of chief value of which it is compos
i y-1 vV I- cd, is productive of frequent . embarrassment
f i t andmuch inconvenience". It, is, therefore,
respectfully submitted, that all articles com
posed of wooL cotton, flax, hempror siltj or
of which any: of those materials is a compo-
xtent part, be subjected to a duty ot per j
cnt. ad vaJorem.
The duties 'uobn ' class 'and - paper, upon
