THE NEW TARIFF.
The treasury department to-day
mailed copies of the new tariff act to
all collectors of customs, together with
instructions that sections Z and 8 of
the act 60 into effect at once and ap.
ply to all goods in bonded warehouses
as we'll as to goods imported after
passage of the act. Section Z repeala
the duties on charges heretofore
added in ascertsiniug dutiable value OF
merchandise for the purpose of as.
sessment of duties. This action will
cause considerable reduction in the
amount of duties collected, which re.
duction is estimated by some at per
cent of the entire amount collected.
Section 8 of the tariff act changes the
manner of ascertaining the value OF
merchandise consigned by manufac-
tursrs In foreign countries to agents
In the United States and for which
there Is no foreign market value for
the reason that the goods are
specially manufactured for sale in the
United States only. The law author
izss spprsising officers to ascertain
the cost and value of the material
composing the merchandise at the
time and place of manufacture, to
gether with the expense of manufac
turing, preparing and putting ar
the merchandise for shipment anc
makes the value 90 ascer
tanned the basis for assessment
of duties. The sections of the revised
statutes repealed by section z of the nev
tariff bill are sections 2, 907 and 2, 908
and section IA of the act to amend the
customs revenue laws and to repea
moeties, approved June 22nd, 1874
Long combing or carpet woods are IL
part excepted. With this exception
however, the operation of these pro
visions Is uniform, and extends to al
imported goods on which duty is laid
Section ID of the revenue act of Jun'
22nd, 1874, makes these provision
still more strict by authorizing collec
tion when charges are omitted In tb'
invoice to make his own estimate o
them, and then collect a duty of twic
that estimated amount. All these
provisions have ceased to be law since
the Sd of March.
