James Buchanan upon Advalo-
rem Duties.

| In 1924, Mr. Buchanan of Pennsylvania,
now Folks Secretary ofthe Treasury, spoke
as follows upon the nd valorcm system ofdu-
tics, such as Folks Tariff Bill is based upon:
| 81 am (said Mr. b. not only opposed to any
uniform scale Of dd Uu'Orcm, but to any and all
advalorem duties whatever, except where,
! from the nature ofthc article imported it is
not possible TO subject it to Il specific duty.
Our own severe experience has taught us Il
lesson on this subject which we ought not
soon to forget cannot refrain from advcr-
ting TO some of my reasons for this opinion
"Ourad valOrem system has produced great
frauds upon the revenue, whilst it has driven
the regular American merchant from the bust
ness Of importing and placed it almost eXch-
svcly in the hands ofthe agents of British
manufacturers. The American importer pro-
ducGs his invoice to the collector containing
the actual price at which the imports were
collected abroad, and he pays the fair aud reg
ular duty upon this invoice. Not so the Bit
ish agent. Tho foreign manufacturers in his
invoice, reduces the price ofthe articles which
he intends TO import into our country TO the
lowest possible standard which he thinks will
enable them to pass through the custom house
without being seized for fraud. And the bust
ness has been hitherto managed with so much
ingenuity as generally TO escape detection
The consequence is, that the British agent
passes the goods of his EMPLOYER through the
custom house, on the payment ola much low
er duty than the fair American merchant is
ConpeiIed TO pay In this manner ne is I'M
