ticed by means of false invoices, that it has
become to be regarded almost as COM
mercial usage.
The effect of this system is not only to
open door to frauds, but to invite impor-
tations on foreign account, and to take
away business from our own merchants.
In New York, where about City per cent
OF the entire revenue is collected, this is
literally true. Previous to 1912, when
duties were reduced to 20 per cent ad va
lorum, 74p per cent of the imports into that
city were on foreign account. Under the
SPECIFIC duties of 842, the imports in 1916
OH foreign account fell down to "A per cent
Under the ad valorum tariff of 1916 the
proportion is IS per cent on foreign to 25
per cent on American account. The same
disproportion e:rists in our other LARGE
commercial cities. In New Orleans Am.
erlcan importers are giving away to ior-
eigners, and in some articles there are No
American importers whatever, where once
the trade was almost wholly in their hands.
The prevailing system Of under-valuation
has driven American houses from the trade.
The oaths with which the invoices ere le-
gallzed are cheap, and the importer res.
dent perhaps in France, fills an American
order for wine at a certain rate. which
rate IS noted in the invoice, and then
ships the same ON his own account, un-
dervauing his invoice as he pleases =
American merchants will not stoop to per.
jury to keep their trade, and are thus drv-
en- from the market.
If HCengress would take hold of this sub.
Ject, dropping par!izanism, the Treasury
might be relieved of these frauds, and
what is equally important, American mer,
chants might have an equal show in the
importing trade.

EVACUATION OF BUCHAREST -.sAugust
lst, the Russians retired from Bucharest
after having broken up the road between
that city and Kalugereny. Before leaving
Bucharest, Prince Gortschakoff assembled
the Boyards and thanked them for the
manner in which they had treated the
Russian troops during their stay. The
General added that strategic reasons alone
induced HIM to quit the city, but that it
was not improbable he might return at an
early period. Immediately on the Rus
slams leaving, Omar Pacha sent a message
to Bucharest, requiring lodging and p,o-
visions for 10000 men within the city,
and for 10000 outside of the walls. On

The intelligence that the Treasury de-

fer the government to find out what every
intelligent man is fully posted in. 1t is a
fact indisputable that the invoice cost of
goods from foreign countries is often false
