clrcumrenting the ra,ir Laws.

WASHINGTON, December 8. = L. S.
Martin, supervising special agent of the
Treasury, in his anneal report, says
that no permanent suppression Of the
practice of under valuation OF merchan-
disc, subject 10 al rGl0reH duties. can be
expected until the act Of June 22d,
1874, under the protection of which this
system OF fraud has grown up, shall be
repealed. 1t Is no exaggerati0n to state
that tire invoices of merchandise con
signed to agents in the United
States for sale, as distinguished
from those of goods actually purchased
by American importers, do not repre-
sent more than tWo-thirds OF the actual
foreign market value OF the good
therein de- cribed. An illegal reduction
OF tariff on goods is thus effected By the
fraudulent acts of European manu-
facturers. and their agents. Ia farF.
the European manufacturer, by the
fictitious values he places on his goods
Tor customs, fixes the amount OF ttXe,
TO DE paid thereon, subject only to such
additions as the greater or lesser skill
anu vigilance of the appraising officer
may impose. However competent and
faithful the appraisers may be III

knowledge, their action is always sub

and as certain kinds of goods are exclu-
sively imported under the consignment
system, the agents and manufacturers
stand By each other and reappraiSe-
nents, and by means Of the testimony
thus obtained, in many cases. goods es-
cape the advances and penalties origi-
nally imposed by the action of the APP
praisers. Had the law above referred
to- been enacted for the express purpose
OF enabling foreign manufacturers to
circumycnt the tariff laws, it could not
have better accomplished that object.

The LAWS Good.

WAsHINeToN, December 8.-The Su-
preme Court to-day rendered decision
in the so-called head money cases" of
the Canada Steamship company and
others against William II. Robertson,
collector of the port of New York.

ton, VIZ: AN act to regulate emigra-
ton, by which the collectors are re-
quired to collect from the master. owner

from foreign ports, so cents for every
passenger brought into a port of the

far as its provisions may be found TO be
in conflict with any treaty with foreign
nations the statue must prevail in all
Judicial courts OF this country. The
Judgment Of the circuit court sustaining
the law is affirmed in all cases.
