business to maintain a port like that
But York, Nc. spent s1e542 to coll
lect a dollar during the same period.
The record for Lacrosse, Wis, was
S23-74; for Wheeling, w. Va. 1851;
Patchogue, y. Y. S4SS6; Vicksburg
Miss, s3S.S Rock Island, Ill, $43.O3;
Coos Bay, Ore. SOLOS.
The argument made, that the ports
in which the expenses exceed the reve-
nues are necessary in order 20 prevent
smuggling, does not hold good with
the entire list. Besides, it is fair to
suspect that port that collects only
a dollar or two of revenue in a year
does not by any means prevent SNUG
Cling. It is undoubtedly necessary to
maintain some of these ports, how
ever. But is ii necessary to maintain
ports at Wheeling. Burlington. La
crosse. Rock Island and such places?
No smuggling can possibly be done
there.
The only object is to make things
easier for importers. Where there is
a port Of entry they can place their
goods in a bonded warehouse. and take
them out at their leisure. Besides, in
the course of year many thousands
of dollars worth of goods on which
no duty is charged may be examined
and this takes time and must be paid
for. There is no question, though, but
that many ports are kept up merely
to furnish places fOr importunate po-
iitical henchmen. and il is needless to
say that such Offices should be abol-
ished.
