FLAW IN UNDERWOOD TARIFF.

Washington, ID. c., June 6.-The
Court OF Customs APPEALS has Just add
ed another act to the comedy OF err
rors In which the Democratic admin
istration takes the star part,
The court has rendered an opinion
on the construction OF the provision
I'm the Underwood tariff law intended
to give a five per cent discount in GUS
toms duties on merchandise imported
on American vessels, and has virtually
declared that the effect OF the provis-
ion gives a wholesale discrimination
In favor of ships Of foreign countries.
In a recent article attention was d.
rected to this classic blunder then
| pending before the Customs Court,
The slovenly methods by which II was
enacted we're referred to. showing that
the Democrats had a vague idea about
aiding American shipping, adopted FL
vague method Of extending such aid,
and by careless guess work had thrown
the whole matter into the courts. 1t
was shown that during the debate In
congress-, Republicans had given re-
peated warnings that, apart from it's
policy. the phraseology Of the five per
cent section was meaningless and
should be corrected to accomplish its
purpose.
The decision Of the Court OF Customs
Appeals completely confirms these
! statements, and rubs Il In by saying:
"The wisdom OF expediency OF the
policy Is a matter into which we may
not inquire nor have we the right to
suspend the operation OF the statute
because we may think its purpose Is
not adequately accomplished"
It Will be recalled that the language
OF the five per cen discount section
provided that nothing herein shall be
30 construed az to abrogate or In any
manner impair or affect the provisions
of our treaties with foreign n%atious.'
II appears from the opinion of the
Customs Court hat there are at least
$500 treaty nation vessels In the Am
erican foreign trade, and that there
are not over fifty American vessels
An n "favor'' % our own ships the
Democratic congress-, according to this
decision, gave an equal bounty to b,boo
competing foreign vessels.
