United States Valuation
Would Correct Tariff Evils
—Judge De Vries.
“America’s markets being the best,
its prices the highest and its money
at par, this country has become the
goal of all regenerating trade," Judge
Marion De Vries, of the United States
Court of Customs Appeals, says in a
statement just issued in favor of the
new Fordncy Tariff Bill.
“National self preservation, in that
status, primarily demands, plenary
defense of our markets against being
made the dumping grounds of the
world’s products of cheap labor and
production, augmented by extreme
currency depreciation.
"One needs to travel but little to be
taught the distress and dire needs of
our manufacturers, producers and
laborers by the vacant shops, the
smokeless stacks, and hopeless faces
of our workmen, where before were
the hum of activity and the smile of
contentment,
“Why? We turn to the morning
paper. Every day is printed there the
reason ‘why.’ We read in one column,
for example, that a cut of 20 per cent
has been made in agricultural imple
ments, in another that four and one-
half million of our laborers are out of
employment, while in another column
you read an official report to the De
partment of Commerce that the great
Krupp plants of Germany, the pre
war output of and workmen in which
contributed more to the world calam
ity and human suffering than any
like institution in history, now em
ployes 99,000 men as against 81,000
men prior to the war; that they are
contented and reasonably paid; that
the daily output, of agricultural and
varied products of that institution
is greater than in history.
“Upon every hand we find in our
land that to-day our goods are being
driven from our markets, our factor
ies closed, our farms impoverished
and our laborers thrown, into idleness
by the cheap productions of foreign
countries which are hourly being
dumped into this country. Three
years ago the war closed. Almost
every great commercial nation of the
world save the United States has put
up the tariff barriers/ against this
deluge of cheap foreign goods. Qcto-
ber 1st free trade England raised her
duties 33 1/3% on six thousand
articles. Previously she provided spe
cial duty against German goods of
50 per cent, and a depreciated curren
cy provision of 75 per cent.
“The question now whether the
import duties levied by the United
States shall be calculated upon for
eign or American valuation ba'sis is
perhaps the most important import
tariff issue seriously considered by
the Congress since 1833.
“The existing foreign valuation
system is without doubt the weakest
$1.00 pr. to $1.75 pr.
1.25 ea. to 1.75 ea.
.75 ea. to 1.98 ea.
1.50 pr. to 4.00 pr.
2.00 pr. to 5.00 pr.
.50 pr. to 2.00 pr.
Just a look at our work dothes line will convince
you that the quality of our merchandise is bet
ter and our prices lower.

ever enacted. Thereunder, ordinarily
to introduce foreign merchandise-
into the commerce of the United.
States, in competition with American,
productions, no single oath by ther
foreigner is required as to their value,
or is otherwise made necessary.
“It is absolutely impossible under
the existing law to gain accurate in
formation as to foreign home market
values. Under our existing system,
every appraiser throughout the United
States Is presumed every morning
that he goes to his office to have
knowledge of the market value of
every imported article in every
country of the United States export
ing hereto.
“No appraising officer in the United
States is supplied by any efficient:
means of acquiring or of being sup
plied with this information. He has - ,
before him invoices only which indi
cate, if anything, export value alone
in the country of exportation; This
throws but little if any light upon
what he is required to know, to wit
home market value ks the country of
exportation.
