A CHINESE OPINION.
What He Thinks of the American
Customs Law

Diam blad law Is what Guam On Lung.
told his attorney a few days ago when that
official reported that the Treasury Depart
ment gave its approval to the ruling of the
board of general appraisers In New York
that there could be no allowance for the
sent from China for the denizens of China
town.
Guam On Lung referred to the Dingley
law, and there was some ground for his
use of language that he did not pick up in
the New York Sunday schools. He had
sent to China for four cases of China wine
a decoction made of rice and other ingre-
dents. There is always a demand for it at
fancy figures in the eating and joss houses
of the Chinese in New York. The four
cases contained fifty bottles each, but one
case got over with just one bottle of wine
and a quantity of broken glass left. The
forty-nine bottles had been broken in tran
sit. There was no question on that score,
the testimony being ample. The collector
of customs in New York looked over the
Dingley law and found a proviso TO para
graph 236 prohibiting any allowance for
''breakage, leakage or damage wines,
and he held that Guam On Lung must pay
the duty on the entire fifty bottles of the
stuff that goes along with the hot birds OF
gay Chinatown. Guam Lung appealed to
the board of appraisers. which frankly
admitted that the law imposed a hardship
mandatory and could not be evaded. The
language of the statute was plain and
explicit and lacked ambiguity. Then the
attorney came on to Washington and tried
to ascertain If there wasn't some appeal to
the officials here They shook their heads
Guam Lung thought il over all the way
down the long corridor on the way out of
the Treasury building.

"Revisionists' and the Dingley Tariff

In the course of your comments on the
so-called reciprocity convention at Chi
cago you say in your issue of Thursday:
Relief in some form is necessary both
from those rates of the Dingley bill pur-
posey made high for negotiations sake,
and from the threatened reprisals of for
eign governments, Germany in PARTICULAR
Allow me to say that the language quoted
indicates that you have dropped into the
old-time, customary complaint of the free
trade democracy, who, in similar terms,
have arraigned every protective tariff meas
ure that has been submitted to Congress
since the organization of the government
For at least a century the cry has been
that a tariff for the protection of Ameri-
can industries against the cheap products
of foreign labor served necessarily to erect
a Chinese WALL around our commerce
and Threatened reprisals of foreign gov
ernments,' but at the end of the century
1t appears that our foreign commerce has
grown vastly more under the operation of
our protective system than under the ex-
perfments of low duties. framed for rev.
enue only" while our domestic commerce
has thrived under protection to a degree
that staggers the imagination itself to
compute
The facts with reference to our foreign
trade show the practical results of our pro-
tective system as embodied in the Dingley
bill. They show that we are not suffering
much for relief and effectualy refute
the war cry of the tariff revisionsts" who
originated and managed the Chicago reel
procity'' convention, which, permit me to
say was organized in the interest of the
demoraized democracy in the hope that it
might put new life into the tariff issue for
1903, with Gov Cummins as the exponent
of revision"
1t has been for some time a favorite say
ing of the tariff revisionists that I'VE all
know how reciprocity got into the Dingley
tariff and why. We all know that duties
were VIGOROUSLY and purposely made too
high in order that they might be reduced
by reciprocity conventions" Some honest
men have repeated this statement until they
actually believe it to be true. They repeat
it. although upon slight reflection they
is that no such purpose was ever nee
essary in reciprocity legislation, nor was
ever either avowed or entertained by the
trainers of the Dingley tariff. No such
purpose is even indicated in the Dingley
schedules. The Dingley tariff was made
for the purpose exclusively of doing just
what 1t has done-enlarging the area of
American commerce abroad and stimulating
all American industries at home, making
ours the biggest, most prosperous manu-
featuring nation on the globe, and the
thriftiest home market in the world. The
present schedules are about near correct
as they can be made. They are doing their
work admirably and the tariff revision
ISIS. and agitators have no solid ground
on which to make complaint.

OF transportation charges or even on the
charges of the individual road that may
be capitalized in excess of its true value
The reason for this is that railway rates
are made by the operation of commercial
forces beyond the control of the managers
OF single road or OF a group OF roads.
The managers of the overcapitalized road
must meet the competition OF other car
riers, both on water and on land and they
must haul the products Of the communities
along the line of their road to competitive
markets on such terms as to enable them
to compete with like products from other
localities In the United States and from
foreign countries. and at such rates as to
encourage producers to increase their out
put-the road being forced to rely for in
creased earnings on increased traffic, rather
than on advancing its charges.
