AN IMPORTANT srEP--We understand that the Secre-
tay OF the Treasury about to instruct the various col
leciors of the customs that in all where they have
reason to believe that goods have been nvoced below
their value, with view TO defraud the revenue, the
amount of duty chargeabe by law shall be taken in KIND
That is the proportion of the goods necessary to cover
the duties shall be taken for the duties without regard
to the value By this the temptation to import
goods falsely invoiced will be effecually done away
with and the honest importer protected against the tricks
of dishonest competitors An old revenue law gives this
power TO the Treasury Department, without the necessity
of any further legislation --Boston Times
