The work fell OH the examiners and assist
ant appraisers, and the appraiser acted on
their returns and calculations. 1t was the
duty Of the appraiser to test the correctness
OF all invoices. The goods were sometimes
measured, but not always. None passed
without examination. By higher salaries
better men might he obtained, but it was
impossible that they could be always cor
rect. The color OF sugar practically deter
mines the rate OF duty, as the color test by
which the grade is obtained. Reappraise-
ments were frequently ordered by the Col
lector or Secretary CT the Treasury on ap-
peals. He thought it fair to infer that
frauds had increased since the moiety law
had been repealed. The moiety increased
the zeal and efficiency OF the Government
detectives in detecting frauds. 1t made no
difference, though, with the regular Off
Gals. Did not believe in giving appraisers
or examiners an interest in the moieiy sys.
