THE TARIFF. <
In my first annual message to Congress I
called your attention to what seemed to me
seme defects in the present tariff; and re
commended each modifications as in My
judgment were best adapted to remedy ita
evils and promote the prosperity of the coun
try. Nothing since has occurred to change
my views on this important question.
Without repeating the arguments contained
in my former message, in favor of discrimi
nating protective duties, I deem it my daty
to call your attention to one or two other
omtiderntioas affecting this subject. The
first is the (feet of large importations of
foreign goods upon our currency Most of!
