THE supplementary report of the secretary
Of the treasury on the collection of duties is
intended to bring to the attention of Con
gress the defects Of the system, together with
the suggestions for their remedy from the
customs officers of the tour great ports The
task OF reforming this branch Of revenue col
lection is so difficult that Congress should
welcome the mass of information placed at
its service. By difficult and complicated
system duties are levied on 1900 different
commodities about which few congressman
know anything whatever The secretary
says that II ad valorem d duties are to be levied
true invoice is indispenss sable, and the pur-
chaser and manufacturer are required by law
to declare the price paid or the cost OF the
fabric at the factory. He rightly says that
there should be no difficulty whatever about
this. IN fact the operation OF this law il Pc
culiar, for it takes no account of the cost of
transportation, and so enables man uiscturers
far In the interior Of Europe TO ship and sell
more cheaply than those that have factories
on the sea coast; for the former are usually
nearer 10 the raw material, and though the
better commercial position OF the latter might
make up for this advantage, the custom laws
do not recognize the fact and charge the sea-
coast man a higher duty because his fabric
costs more at the factory.
