chapter in the New York custom-house

mands made for rebate on the value
of imported articles. 1t has been the
practice to make certain reduc-
tions in the duties upon merchandise
when it could be shown that the articles
had suffered injury and depreciation of value
during the transit from the foreign port.

from the hardship of having to suffer
double losS-frst in the injury to goods,
and again in full rate of duty imposed
upon damaged imports. The privilege has
been abused To an enormous extent, and,
while the Government has been the loser Of
MILLIONS of dollars, there has been a COM
peteF decentralization in certain lines of
goods and practical setting aside of the
tariff laws without any corresponding adj
vantage to the commerce of the country.
The commissioners will not say how much
fraud has been discovered, but Mr. Tingle
intimates that sensation is coming
