Ri WASHINGTON. d. c., September Ca
The Secretary OF the Treasury has issued
a statement in the imported cigar stamp
matter. in which he permits the order
made by Assistant Secretary Armstrong
to stand, SO far as 1t relates to reducing
the size OF the stamp and to attaching
II in a less conspicuous place on the box.
lie reverses the order wherein It required
the stamp to be of the same color as the
internal revenue stamp. and It will be
placed on tho bottom of the box instead
OF the top. bul at the end wnere It now
appears opposite the Internal revenue
stamp.
/, Secretary Shaw had been kept advised
of the progress OF proceedings with ref.
erence to the customs stamp case, and
been from time to time forwarded to
him After the hearing before the act
ing Secretary on Saturday last.
Mr.. Taylor made concise SUM
mary for the consideration OF the
Secretary on his return. together with
recommendations. AS soon as the Secre-
tary returned to-day he took the matter
;ur with Assistant Secretary Taylor, and
after an Interview with the President
decided the case In his statement ac-
ccmpanying the decision, the Secretary
said:
.The testimony establishes the fact
that the present stamp is used as a
trademark by the cigar importers; That.
this trade mark is valuable to them and
confers nm advantage upon them as
against the manufacturers Of cigars in,
the United States; and that cigars are.
/ in effect, the only commodity imported
into the United States that receives the
benefit OF such n trademark. In view
OF the fact that this government stamp,
in its present form, undoubtedly gives a
pec,lniary advantage to those using 1t.
it. seems that the order already issued
by the department Is In its essence
proper. The governments business is to
collect the revenue and to provide 81
far as possible against fraud; but 1t Is
rot the governments business to fur
nish a guaranty In the form of trade
mark for the b,nefit OF tho goods. This
should be left In the tobacco business
as; It is In all other business.
"The result Of the decision will pro-
tect the domestic manufacture from
customs stamp available as an ADVERTISE
meIt, and it protects the importer also
by giving him a stamp Of distinctive
color, which can be seen by the pur-
chaser IL he cares to make examination
