the pretty toys Of gems have not been
thrown away or wasted. Thousands
have been worked up into other and

More than one pair has been made

BOLD AND NEFARIOUS,

1t is reported that gang of sports has,
by the aid of q sharp lawyer, discovered q
way to evade the very comprehensive and
stringent law against pool-rooms, etc.,
passed by the last legislature and that 1t
has made arrangements to do business In
this city.
This nefarious scheme will be generally
execrated. New Haven has had enough of
lose, sorrow and crime from playing the
races" and it will protest very heartily
against q renewal of the game. And 1t
will be slow to bslieve that the law which
was so carefully made is defective enough
to allow such renewal.
We have no doubt that the prosecuting
officers of the city will see to 1t that these
bold pirates are not allowed to plunder the
people in peace. We suppose the pirates
expect prosecution, and that they hope to
at least do business here while the new law
is being tested with az much delay as they
can make. But they should not be per-
mitted to have things their own way.
Good lawyers think the law is all right,
and that view of 1t should be taken by
those interested In fighting the evil until
the Supreme court says 1t isn't. Of course
the pirates can afford to pay the expenses
of "testing the law" IL, while 1t is being
tested, they can do unmolested a rushing
business The test should be made 80 ex-
penrive and inconvenient for them that
they will find it improbable.

AID vALOREm DUTIES.

The wise men who made the new tariff
bill showed their wisdom in substituting
sd valorem for specific duties. To be sure,
cratic and Republican, have been of one
mind about ad valorem duties, and that
mind is not like the mind of the new wise
men. But that it is not probably only
shows how much wiser the new wise men
are than those who have gone before
them.
In order to realize how wise the new
tariff tinkerers are 1t Ia we'll to remember
that every aecretary of the treasury, with
the exception of Robert ]. Walker, has
been opposed to sd valorem duties.
Some of the reasons on which this
opposition has been based are set
forth in the report of Senator Aldrich
on the Mills tariff bill. In that report he
points out that the use of ad valorem rates
has been condemned not only by the e1-
psrience of every commercial nation in the
world, but the judgment of those who have
been intrusted with responsibility of GUS
toms administration, and by honest i'm
porters and merchants, as well as by in
telligent political economists and lsgisls-
tore of every shade of economic belief.
The reasons for this general and sweep
ing condemnation are obvious; ad. vslorem
rates are equally unsatisfactory and uncer-
tain, whsther levied for revenue or for pro-
tsctive purposes. Duties based on foreign
market value are, even under the most favor
able circumstances, with honesty of purpose
on the part Of the importer and the highest
degree of knowledge and unquestioned in
tegrity on the part of the appraising Off
GERS, necessarily uncertain and unequal.
But when many foreign importers deem
| the successful evasion of our revenue laws
| by interruptions methods the highest evil
dence of business capacity, ad vslorem
rates fell lsmentably of their purpose.
They greatly exaggerate variations In for
eign prices When business Is depressed
and foreign prices are abnormslly low,
when foreign mpetition is most to be
dreaded and when defensive barrier is
most needed by domestic producers, then
ad valorem rates are lowest, protection
ia reduced, and depression is intensified
\ On the other hand, when foreign values
are highest rates are highest, and restric
tion enlsrges into prohibition. If Ii is de
sirabls that Gliding scale of duties should
be adopted, rates should increase as foreign
prices diminish. Ad vslorem rates afford
facilities for the grossest frauds upon tn.
revenue; through undervaluations they in
vite evasions of the law and reward dis
honest importers, while they destroy th'
business alike of honest importers and do

fscturer practically fxes the duty which

only limitation upon the amount of forsigl
importations is the extent to which tn
