WITHOUT C0nsuIar INVOICE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Assistalt Secre-
tary Spaulding has written to Collector
Phelps, at San Francisco, who submitted q
case in which 5. l.. Jones 6 Co. applied for
a change in the prevailing practice of allow
ing the entry of merchandise without a con-
suar invoice at a value OF less than 500. Af-
ter an investigation the department finds that
no objection should offer against allowing
the entry of merchandise where the value
is 800, or less, on uncertifed invoices and
ton of consular invoice, provided that the
importer complies with the proper condi-
tions imposed. The Assistant Secretary
says that when Collector shall be satisfied

gramme such as that of the Farmers Alli-
ance. But the new party will make its in
tuence felt in both the older organizations.
1t would be mistake to underrate the sig
nifcance of the movement.
