probably weigh two pounds. which
leaves clear profit of at least So on

cape the duty. The minimum profit
of the most inefficient airship trip
across the border would yield q return
of 5000.

Down Mexico way there is sure to be
considerable activity In the introduce

the graceful industry OF smuggling
will probably be confined to cigars and

across the line at Jaurez returns with

and pockets full of cigars and a fat
box broken and one of its contents

possible?
VIII the smuggler, who has for a
century kept the customs officials

schemes for avoiding duty payment.
not awake to the fact that he may
take e little ride across the line by
balloon in the night time with no pos
sibflity OF interference and may by so
doing profit to an amount ranging
from 500 TO 100000?
Are not the tariff walls Of all the
countries TO be broken down by the
sirship and thereby is not the inven-
tion Of this craft to exert the greatest
influence on the industrial world that
has been brought 70 bear by any oc-
currence in all its history?
These thoughts are just beginning TO
percolate into the inner consciousness
OF men OF affairs and they are seeing
in the ofhng such a revolution Of
conditions as the world has never
known. The cry TO the effect that
the flying machine is to revolu-
tionize warfare threatens TO be en-
tirely lost TO sight because of its
comparative insignifcance when placed
against he importance Of the possible
effect upon the trade OF nations and
the life OF industry that lives by pro-
lection War at best is a remote
possibility, while money producing
trade and industry is ever with us. The
free trader is promised the oppor-
tunity Of coming into his own and
the war between parties that has ex-
listed for a century may come to an
end through an influence that is en-
tirely outside OF politics.
Smuggling Diamonds

mond smuggler who operates between
this country and Canada He has ac-
cumulated diamonds to the value OF
$1,000, 600 that he wants TO bring into
this country. The duty is 10 per cent
ad valorem or $1,000 He has oper-
Gted for years-carrying a ring across
today hidden in his clothing; a pin to-
morrow under the lining Of his dress

or even IN pocket made with much
suffering In his own skin. On each
trip he has run the risk Of detection
and his operations have necessarily
been small and tedious.
But the enterprising smuggIer
awakes TO the possibility OF getting in
his material by the air route" He is
100 miles above the line where he has
been trying out his balloon. for to the
public he has been imbued OF late with
the aerial bug. The steed of the air is
harnessed and ready for flight. The
wind blows strong from the north. It
is night. He takes aboard all the dia-
monds he possesses, million dollars
worth, the string is cut and he is
away. Up, up he rises until he is q
mile from the ground. There is no
1Nght in his balloon and no living crea-
tune sees him or can see him. The
wind to the south catches him an,

For these reasons, IL any frontier

were in hailing distance OF another
there would still be no possibility OF
seeing the pirates OF the air as they
fly overhead at night. Even II they
were seen at a height OF hundreds or
thousands OF feet, there would be no

and compelled to stop. or OF tracing

would far overtop the value OF ths

At Washington customs officials
. acknowledge that the possibility OF
smuggling by airship Is likely TO be
one of the difficult problems OF the
future. They refuse 70 consider lt at
present. as up to date no cases OF such
smuggling have been detected. As a
problem OF the future they leave It for
the future to solve. On Capitol Hill
the solons continue to split hairs and
to cry favoritism and discrimination
back and forth, with an eye on the
effect OF their declarations on the folks
back at forks OF the creek who sent
them here to take care OF their inter-
asts, and think nothing OF so modern

profit of some $1,000 for any cargo
gotten across the line by balloon,
which might prove something OF an at

At present the frontier offers prac-
tically the only opportunity for snug
Cling by airship. When the craft are
further perfected 1t may come into

he is small fry and carries but $4,000
worth of precious stones, he has prof.
tied one-tenth of that amount, which is
a fair days work.
The free ballooner OF today is fairly
safe for an enterprise OF this sort.
There are hundreds of men IN this
country who are less accustomed to
Cling fraternity. who go up in balloons
without fear, and an accident rarely
occur. These balloons carry from
600 to 500 pounds of ballast and two
or three men with ease. They. are en-
tirely adequate for cargoes of great
values and small bulk and this adapt

might ply readily from one side of

airship could carry cargo Of about

The aeroplane is not as yet so per-
fected that it is used by the novice,
but promises to make great strides in
the immediate future. All forms of
air craft are being developed with
such rapidity that 1t promises to be
not more than five years before they
may be used by the man In the street
and at that time the smuggling of
goods Will be brought to its perfec-
tion.
The United States customs service
reports that 1t has so far had no oo-
casion to turn its attention to the
smugglers Of the air. So far as 1t
knows there is no smuggling of this
sort being done. The present time af-
fords naturally the pioneer days in this
line of activity. There are doubtless
numbers OF men engaged in it, but
these probably pose as enthusiastic
balloonists, and no one questions their
sincerity. AS pioneers always profit
by their originality and activity along
any new line, so are these men profit-
ing by smuggling in this way.
SO few Of them have as yet entered
the field that their effect upon market
of any article that enters into COM
merce can not yet be felt. They are
making stupendous fortunes before the
public becomes aroused. competition

become suspicious.
Aside from precious stones, such ma
terials as silk offer a ready field for
airship smuggling. Upon these there
is a duty of $1.5o per pound and an ad-
ditional ad valorem duty Of 30 per
cent, which will double the first charge
and make the duty upon silks at least
