WASHINGTON, Nov. 2a-Charles a Hamin.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury in charge
OF the tariff Administrative subjects and cases
arising out Of the construction OF all tarin
laws has prepared a statement as to the adj
ministrative features OF the new Tariff BILL
Among other things he says
ut lie believed that the amendments re-
ported by the Ways and Means Committee to
the customs administrative act will soften
many OF the harsher provisions OF the law
and leave the law In much more
perfect condition than 1t Is at pres
ent. The present customs administrative law
simply provides the machinery for collecting
in the most com pete manner the existing
rates OF duty whatever they may be upon Inn
ports. An enormous revenue must be col
lected by customs duties TO support the Gov
eminent Under the new tariff. the rates OF
duty being lowered. It is plain that the tariff
laws must be rgldly administered In order to
I'm the bill reported by the committee there
are many changes from specific to ad valorem
most equitable kind. and the rate is absolutely
the same on all grades OF goods OF the same
kind. while specific duties bear heavier upon
the cheaper goods used by the masses than
upon the dearer goods.
THE danger in substituting ad valorem for
specific duties is that thereby the danger OF
differentiation ia Increased. However the
present Board OF General Appraisers were ap;
preventing naturalization. They determine
the. value OF all goods imported and classify
said goods on appeal from, the Collector.
The danger which threatens the business
interests OF the country ls not from reduction
In existing rates OF duty. but from the con-
fusion which would ensue provided Ruch rates
when lowered are evaded by naturalization.
thus causing at one blow q falling of in the
revenue and ruin to honest Importers. Unless
the lower rates OF duty to be enacted by Con-
Rress are rigidly and uniformly collected. our
people will lose sight Of the material benefits
sure to follow such genuine measure OF tariff
reform. for those benefits would be swallowed
up in the grave injury caused by undervalua-
tion to our present business interests.
The mission OF the Democratic party,
among others. 10 to demonstrate that tariff
reform will benefit our whole people, mcr-
chants. laborers. and farmers. The customs
administrative act anne ended on the lines laid
