I trust this will not be done. If we have got any people in all this country who are disposed to go to Canada and set up their establishments in order to escape taxation or for any other purpose. they knew when they went there what the laws were. and I am not for giving them any increased privileges in consequence of their emigration to the Canadian Dominion. Besides. I would not complicate the revenue laws by any frther conditions of this sort. They are all subject more or less to difficulties if not frauds. Even the bringing in here of railroad iron to be rerolled and carried back is a matter that is attended with very great difficulty in order to ascertain exactly the amount that is brought here and whether the exact articles are carried back.
