THE DIAMOND
MERCHANTS IN
BIG PANIC NOW
DEALERS DO NOT
TAKE KINDLY TO PROPOSED 20
PER CENT IMPORT DUTY ON
GEMS IN THE NEW AMERICAN
TARIFF.

Amsterdam, Oct. 25.-The diamond
merchants Of this city are in a panic
over the proposed 20 per cent import
duty on diamonds in the new American
tariff. The honest merchants affirm
that they will no longer be able to
sell to American dealers for the rea
son that INSCRIPTIONS houses will Of
fer diamonds on the American market
which have been smugg1ed. The 20 per
cent difference in the price of the
smuggled and the unsmuggIed dia-
mond will, it is averred, allow the dis
honest houses to pay their agents well
for smuggling and yet take a large
profit. The result from the American
customs standpoint will, 1t is be-
lieved, show that the net revenue fol-
lowing the passage of the bill will be
less than it was before under the 10
per cent rate.
There are, it is estimated here 10000
diamond cutters in the world, and one
fourth of these cut diamonds Of the
American market. But only 300 dia-
mond cutters are in the United States.
Some 10000 cutters are working here
and in Antwerp. Some thousands of
these men will be out of work if the
American bill passes, temporarily at
least, because while the bill has been
pending the surplus stock of diamonds
has been exported to the United States
These exports will meet the demands
of the American market for from six
to nine months after the bill is passed.

During the early part Of the present
season such scores were frequent, and
the manner in which the little teams
