456 REPORT OF COMMISSIONER OP FISH AND FISHERIES. 



15. Comparative statement of the rates of import duty imposed on fishery products under 

 the principal tariff enactments from July 4, 1789, to August 27, 1S94, inclusive — Cont'd. 



Note. — When no rates are affixed to articles in any column they are not enumerated in the respective 

 enactments, and consequently must be regarded as " unenumerated " and subject to the duty levied 

 thereon. But in some cases they are classed with enumerated articles of similar character. 



The effect of the tariff regulations from 1869 to 1894, inclusive, 

 appears in Table 16, showing the value of each principal class of fishery 

 products imported for consumption and the amount of duty paid thereon 

 during each of those years. For convenience of comparison, the total 

 value of all imports for consumption into the United States, the amount 

 of duties collected, exclusive of additional and discriminating duties, 

 and the average ad valorem rate during each year is shown in the last 

 three columns of this table.
