For many years it has been q mat
ter of frequent occurrence for resi-
dents of this county visiting Victoria
to purchase articles of clothing and
other personal effects there and bring
them home with them without being
required to pay customs duties. This
exemption has been allowed under
the provision of paragraph of the
tariff act of 1897 which includes in
the free list "wearing apparel.
articles of personal adornment, toilet
articles and similar personal effects
of persons arriving in the United
States: but this exemption shall only
include such articles as actually
accompany and are in use of. and as
are necessary and appropriate for the
wear and use of such persons. for the
Immediate purposes of the journey
and present comfort and convenience.
and shall not be held to apply to
merchandise or articles intended for
other persons or for ssle." And the
same paragraph further provides that
"no more than one hundred dollars
in value of articles purchased abroad
by such residents of the United States
shall be admitted free of duty upon
their return.
The treasury department has for
years permitted and expressly author
ICED q very liberal construction of
this paragraph of the tariff a:t and
has allowed it to apply to excursion
lists and other merely transient Wis
itors to Canadian points. until quite
recently, when. upon complaint of
American merchants, the secretary of
the treasury issued an order setting
forth that "it is the opinion of the
Department that excursionists or other
persons who visit Canada and remain

inspector where the duty does not
exceed 81. 90 in any case. All other
dutiable articles in the possession Of
persons arrlving from Canada should
be held for entry and collection Of
duty. when the importer, if dissatis.
fed. may appeal In the usual manner. {"
This ruling of the treasury depart.
ment was reported editorially in the
Islander of August 8. It is repeated
now and more explicitly stated
because the deputy collector here
wishes all residents of this county to
have fair notice OF the change, not in
the law itself but in the treasury
departments construction of it's appli-
cation to excursionists and others
visiting Canadian points. and also of
the explicit instructions issued rela.
tive to it's enforcement in this district.
1t should be borne in mind that the
WEARING of articles of clothing or
other articles purchased in Canada
before bringing them to the United
States does not exempt the purchaser
from payment of duty. And the
duties are high upon nearly all
articles of wearing apparel.
