Secretary Manning. Cleveland's first sec.

Secretary Manning. Cleveland's first Sec
rotary, in summing up the objection to
the ad valorem rate, said:
Whatever successful contrivances are
in operation today 10 evade the revenue by
false invoices or by undervaluations or by
any other means, under an ad vaorem sys-
tenn, will not cease even IL ad valorem rates
shall have been largely reduced. They are
incontestably, they are even VIGOROUSLY
inherent in that system.
"Ad valorem rates, in practice, mean:
"First-fraud upon the revenue.
"Second-A reduction of the protection
afforded by the duties.
INSTRUMENTATION against honest
importers and in favor of rascals ready to
enter into collision with dishonest revenue
officers.
These salient features of an ad valorem
system of tariff duties are perfectly patent
and cannot be obscured BY Mr.. Wilson's
sophistry of argument and Justification of
history"
Secretary Carlisle does not agree with
this position. and in his message advocates
an al valorem in preference to . specific
duty.
