DO not risk kyour material with dyes that

There is still a squirming struggle
by the free traders against the admir-
able tariff that became a law the twen-
ty-fourth of July, 1897. These free
trade people have no use of course for
the revolutionary war and the law of
protection that enabled us to establish
American industries along with our in
dependence. What hurt England most
when she lost her colonies was that We
set up manufacturing for ourselves.
Then England was, counting by time
and freight charges. as far away from
us as Australia is now, and London is
as near us now as, by the same meas
urement. Boston was then. Protection
is much more important now than
then, because the competition, instead
of being on the other side OF the world,
is right at our doors.

From the duties upon imported to-
bacco, the government receives large
revenue. Under the Dingley Taiif what
is known as filler tobacco pays from 30
to 30 cents per pound and wrapper to-
bacco from $lS5 to $3.50 per pound.
There have been great frauds practiced
upon the government in the lmporta-
ton of tobacco and it is pleasing to see
the present energetic policy of the
treasury department in checking them.
The most common practice OF under
valuation is what is known as 'nesteu
Soods'-that is, bale of tobacco may
contain certain amount of wrapper
and certain amount of filters, and be
entered as filler tobacco, thus avoiding
the higher rate of duty upon the wrap
per tobacco. Another plan OF avoiding
the collection of the duties Is to have
bales of tobacco similarly packed,
part of the bales being filler and an
other part being wrapper tobacco, put
all being entered as filler.
AS the appraisers department gen
orally examines but one-tenth of the
importatlons. it will be seen that the
importer has good opportunity to
avoid the payment of duties. Within
a few days the treasury department
has instructed its appraiser to examine
all tobacco imports of certain lines.
In one importation last week every
sixth bale was found to be wrapper to-
bacco. though certified as being filler
tobacco.
This discovery only serves to Illus
trate the Importance of a Protection
Administration of our Tariff laws. II
has been claimed that the Government
is annually defrauded out of millions
of dollars on account of the tobacco
duties. 1t is safe to predict that this
will be corrected under the administra-
tion of Secretary Gage.
