The Treasury and Importers.

Secretary Manning has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to importers throughout the
country:
Investigations of the methods of entry and
appraisement OF imported merchandise have
show that the tariff laws are largely evaded
by undervaluation, wherever the duties are
levied ad valorem. remedy suggested for
this evil is the adoption of specific duties
With view of obtaining information on this
subject which may be useful TO Congress in
fiscal legislation. and serve an aid in the
improvement of the customs revenue system,
it is deemed proper to ask the advice of mer-
chants whose business may be affected by
tariff legislation, and whose just interests, as
well as those of the government. are depend
ent upon the honest and efficient administra-
ton of the laws. You are therefore requested
to give your own views as to the feasibility
of simplifying the tariff and making the du
ties specific upon imported merchandise with
which you are familiar, as now subject to ad
valorem rates, or to which the ad valorem
principle is applied, together with such sug-
gestions as you NAV be pleased to make
toward the removal of incongruities, so that
the administration of the revenue laws may
be rendered more effective and uniform. 1t
is suggested that your reply may be accom-
panied BY schedule showing the rates of
specific duty, which. in your opinion, should
be levied upon the various kinds and quail
ties of merchandise named in such schedule
and also the specific rates which, according
to your best information, would be equiva-
lent to the present ad valorem rates.
Information is also desired as to what ex
tent, and with respect to what classes of mer-
chandise your firm has suffered injury on &C
connt of evasions of tariff. and how, in your
Judgment, such evasions may be prevented,
whether by specific duties or otherwise.
