rHar LUGGAGE INSPECTION

Impression that American citizens com
ing from abroad must on arrival at the
Custom Houss. pay dIty on all their bag
gage over and above tie value of slOO Is
distinctly erroneous. Uncomfortable rs
the rigorous custom house inspection may
be, the law is designed 10 give IL nc such
authority or invest IL with anything ike
such purpose.
Any American citizen can bring back
to this country whatever personal effects
ho took from here without regard to
their value upon their identity being
established" Ix should certainly not be
Giiicult TO establish the identity Of ones
own goods. Nearly every mans hat,
coat. collars, cuffs. shirts shoes socks
and neckties bear the stamp of the maker
or the store from which they are pur-
chased; hence proof is easy that they
wero taken out of this country originally
and therefore are not liable to the pay
ment of duty upon their return.
This leaves only such articles as under
clothing suspenders, trousers and hand
kerchiefs about which there could be any
difficulty. Now that tho occasion has
arisen whereby the idenity Of goods may
be found necessary by any American citi-
zen, the American Economist suggests
that our retail stores sec To it that all
goods which they sell are suitably
marked This should the more readily be
done because IL is the aim of the Dingley
law TO increase the business Of American
stores ana To check the free importation
of foreign goods
American citizens are only taxed for
such goods as they purchase abroad over
and above the value of 500 Thev are
accorded the privilege of importing one
hundred dollars worth of foreign goods
tree OF duty. This is plainly a privilege
that is pot granted to those Americans
who STAY nt home.
If there be any fault with the personal
effects clause of the Dingley Tariff it
consists in the hundred dollar limit.
There should be no limit whatever. All
foreign goods purchased abroad by our
citizens should he ubieot TO duty just as
fairly and rightfully as arc all foreign
goods that are imported for sale. When
the American tourist does lis shopping
abroad he decreases the sales of the
American imports and Of the Auer-
lean retailer. He also decreases the
demand for American labor that han
dies more goods i'm our stores and that
makes up the foreign piece goods. There
should not be dollar limit even. Let
the American bring back what he took
with him. Lot hiui also pay his just share
of customs dItiss on all that he buys, just
as overy other American citizen will do,
who stays at home If his fancy leeds him
TO purchase foreign rather than Ameri-
can goods
That would only be fair
