before him by tlie differences of opinion between the merchant appraisers and tne General Appraiser upon the of the gloves im ported by Stewart and It was that the decision of the merchant appraisers had been unanimous In favor of the value by tin It was also true Hint the influence ol the special agents of the Borne at of to put the case not flower if Hie public service in of charac to bear first upon Ihe General Ap and then upon the Collec who no liberty left him by his superiors to question on the facts or otherwise than un against the instructions It is from ington to the effect that the interests of the Chii must be regarded aa para mount ji Hie and that the special agents must be regarded aa the two fountains of the rev enue law soon as this keynote had been struck the decision begun to leak out through the hnng craon of the Appraisers and at length at a late hour in the afternoon it made known to the parties in The Collector raises tlie value f i cm 42 which the evidence shows to be to which imposes a The at a laic hour stated that he bad as ytt delivered no The following statement of the whole case was made to a WOULD reporter last evening by William of Stewart There haa a great deal of question on undervaluation on and lor the last year or two question of fraud has been growing to such an extent that it is believed that there ore no honest That appears to be the theory on which the business of Borne parts of the larly the is Probably one reason for that opinion Is that Is go much wanl of knowledge in regard to the culty of applying the present tariff laws equitably It of the hardest at the lime lo discover the market value of a majority of the kinds of merchandise growing out ol thu features that attach to every pur as the necessity of a such as the circumstances of Ihe value of money as ing Hie market at Ihe such as the ability of a purchaser to buy in such as the shrewdness of a buyer iu making a bargain and many other similar features known to

the Trefousse and recently under the market value waa baaed upon adjustment made in when Stewart waa culled as merchant appraiser aud General ap when a investigation of the mar ket consisting of Iho cost of with all expenses ami with a further addition of 10 to 16 per by the to make up a basis of market value at which to Invoice the goods for transportation in con with the Customs law of the United and upon which were to pass the The gloves of and other similar makes were all made to conform In with the exception of the which at that time was invoiced at 11 francs per dozen higher upon the ad justment then The great majority of the gloves made by these houses are classed as a specialty and made for and sent to the American and as manufacturers who commit their own true Interests and the inter ests of lo whom they consign their they make sales of them or consign them to any other party or This Is an Invariable rule In connection wilh all consignment ac counts throughout the The manner In which adjustment was made is by Hie fol low Ing lable When under examination ho promptly re to any question when the answer could be made favorable for the and usually declined to give an answer when the facts were favorable to the Ho was forced to admit that 000 dozen gloves had been to him at 42 francs per by Commercial Agent nt the agent to receive a commission which he offered to divide with Whitting ton bases his claim that the gloves in question were undervalued on the following facts that he based the cost upon one pair of gloves that were presented to him by of and which were said to have cost M francs ho bought a single pair of Trefousse gloves for 3 francs 7fi centimes at tile Bon which would give a retail price of 45 francs per the trade and special discounts bringing ft below the Involve price of 42 francs per he asked a If he thought any one could make the gloves at 42 francs per and got a negative he purchased at retail a few pairs of gloves for personal use from at the rate of CO francs per he offered Calvat 42 francs per for which offer was are consigned to Cal vat knew that house had sold only a few hundred dozen per Year and at once knew that the offer was not bona Tills same that he did not procure any firstclass except the pair given to him In the pair bought In Paris and the few pairs bought for personal use from Calvat ne admits that although attempting in of the Government and for Ida own information to ascertain the market value or wholesale price of such as come to New that lie did not go near or make an offer lo or other firstclass Franca per 50 60 51 60 47 imal It will be seen hy this lable a very pertinent reason wilh the price of skins at 36 francs and which within the last ninety days have still further purchases been made as low as tho value of gloves by tho dozen should be 42 If not even In the appraisement just had the representatives of all these different man were called upon and produced and every item

Importation anil sale of these On the part of Ihe Government only iwo were The first was Thomas of Clark 4 who was employed in tho manufacture In this country of and Interest it Is to protect his own by Increasing Hie duty on imported gloves Ills aa lo tho market value of gloves may be summed up an follows He has not Seen in France since WTO his figures and upon facts as they He naa not imported any gloves lor the past five years has no knowledge of In France opinions are based then lor the past ve ye their value except as obtained from printed price lulls In He gives the cost of manufacturing as It was eight years and has no later information Ho imports skins and pays po francs per dozen for which has been the price to his for the two As opposed to the facts of Clark there IB presented the evidence of of Hoguet Selig Cooper and all representatives of tho importers and manufacturers and all actively engaged at this time in dealing In which slums that the price of uring 1377 ranged from 2S to 40 francs per to twentyfour pairs of dozen that twentyone gloves can be cut from one dozen skins that the cost of manufacture Is from 10 to 18 francs per dozen and no The details as given by Cooper were taken from the books of Fortin the makers of the Alexandra Imported by Stewart and may be summarized as the bogus offer to In opposition to the evidence of as to his several

of the he that he did not feel lo offhand the evidence in this but he would refer to that examined by him in the when he was act ing Appraiser of the gloves of Jouvin A and the Widow Jouvin A which was tho same in its general The only difference Is that then there was some In getting evidence from across the water as to the cost of manufacturers Since then the manufacturers have sent over full reports in regard to these The evidence lu the case of the gloves was embodied In his report to Collector and to a copy of that report he would lie quoted as follows From remarks of tho General Appraiser made during the investigation of tne to tlic effect that his conviction was that there was something wrong in all this busi and from a remark attributed to special agent for the that he was prepared to throw a bomb shell at the I was prepared to find that firstclass gloves had to a certain extent been under although I could not believe to the the Appraiser had reported in that Upon a careful investigation of the and weigh ing carefully the 1 have been led to be lieve that not only there lias been no possible Justin cation for doubting the correctness ol the manufac Tiut that a grievous wrong has been Inflicted on the Importers In all these the 1refouaae not The General Ap praiser followed three distinct Hues of Investigation to determine the foreign market value on the day of shipment of the gloves under consideration to tho price obtained for the gloves In this the foreign market value of the glove based cost of manufacture wilh manufacturers profit of sales In the for eign market of gloves similar to as have been brought to his a consideration of a letter from Trefousse dated April stating their prices for certain styles of their To the first line of the prices of Stewart produced two letters from their Paris one luted If ay the other May In the former they plate that the manufacturer nf the Informs them that they had made purchases of skins suitable for the

the fame us ruled last In the second letter they say The fairs have opened the prices the Toms market opened at 30 francs and at the Lyons market from Bii to 40 francs for host The testimony of experts In tho as well as In the cases now under and the documentary evidence agree that there has been a very large decline of less than nil to 35 per Clark testifies that he has Imported no kid gloves of any kind for many but manufactures largely mens gloves and that he keeps the best skins for mens wear ho and pays OX francs a for He estimates the cost of dressing at 8 francs and of dyeing

very little the class of gloves he makes being entirely different from the class under lie buys bis from a commission it 1ms paid a uniform price for several although the testimony of all experts shows that there have been large fluctuations in and the decline since 1ST6 has been at least to per As to cost of Clark makes It something like IB whom the General Ap praiser terms one of the most

similar to those under the General Appraiser refers to the Francois imported by ol testify that their entire importation of these gloves for 1877 was not over 300 That petty im portations of this sort should be allowed any In fluence in market value for other mases or the production of which In some instances ranges from to dozens per absurd and several experts testify that better gloves than the Calvat can be bought in Paris for mate rially less than 42 francs pur and that If Heed pay more they are imposed The advance of f francs for each and every button I consider J think 3 francs In the of kid gloves are raised to 54 while adding the ad vance of 5 francs per the gloves are appraised nt 104 Tlie appraisers valued the piece of leather above the second button at 50 while fur the entire
