...tariff imposes two kinds of duties: 1) specific; 2) ad valorem, based on the value of the imported goods. The flat rate of 6? per lb. on fresh beef, is a specific duty.

...Regardless of this, "Tap Day" should certainly go into the discard of outworn Yale traditions. This intrinsically barbarous practice belonged to the older and more primitive Yale College.
