Mr.. Lloks and Hls Docks.


9ir Hicks Of Bangor. Maine. is now en-
gagged in a very interesting controversy
with the Federal government, over a
matter involving 33 cents and a pair Of
socks
Recently Mr.. Hicks took a business trip
to Canada. providing himself with the
changes necessary TO a stay Of more than
a single day In the haste Of packing bis
things previous to returning, he over
looked a pair OF socks, which were found
by the hotel people after his departure.
Being honest. and knowing Mr. Hicks
addrossth hotel people carefully wrapped
the socks into a neat package and sent
them By mail to their owner.
Then came the trouble. The customs
officers at Bangor Immediately nailed a
tariff duty OF 33 cents on Mr.. Hicks socks
and insisted upon payment before de-
livery. To all of Mr. Hicks appeals that
these were not "pauper labor" socks
made in Canada, but the genuine Ameri-
can-made product, the craven collector
Of the port was dumb The socks had
been imported from Canada, and that
was sufficient. Payment was insisted
upon, and Mr. Hicks, as a patriotic
American citizen who was opposed 20
paying duty on American-made socks,
appealed to the General Board Of Ap-
praisers. The board, after solemn de-
liberation decided that Mr. Hicks must
pay the duty.
Mr. Hicks has not yet determined
whether 70 submit 10 the injustice or
carry his appeal to the Secretary Of the
Treasury The fight has already cost
Mr.. Hicks and the government much
more than the 33 cents duty, but the
great principle at stake is unsettled. Mr.
Hicks might have worn his socks home
or even bought a new pair in Canada and
brought them back without payment Of
duty, simply by placing them in his grip.
But because his own socks, bought in
this country, were sent 20 him by mail,
he is compelled 10 pay duty. No wonder
he is inclined to fight
And what a striking instance Of the
absurdities Of our protective tariff sys-
tenn is afforded by this incident
