The Two Standards for Estimating Duties.

the ad valorem and specific duty systems.

,-alue ct the article best for the great
tody of the community, who should con
tribute to the support of the government
according to the ability of their means
and the amount of their consumption;
whilst the other system is best only for
the manufacturer, in protecting his fa
brics: Ad valorem and specific duties. Re
cently a general attack by the friends of
the protective policy lias been made upon
the ad valorem principle of levying duties
upon imports. It has been discovered that
this principle, which takes a certain fixed
proportion of the value of imported goods
for the uses of the government, is oppres
stve to domestic interests and destructive
to the public morals. Long essays are
published, plentifully interspersed with
tariff" statistics, to prove how the revenue
may be and is habitually defrauded to an
enormous extent by false invoices and
wholesale perjury. There is undoubtedly
a great deal of difficulty in exactly valuing
the goods imported, but it is an error to
say that the foreign invoice is the measure
of value received at the custom-house. It
is only one of the proofs of true value,
which is determined here by our own
officers, and penalties are imposed for an
under-valuation. If an invoice of goods is
found on appraisement to exceed in value
by only ten per cent, the value declared
by the entry, the whole invoice is charge
able with twenty per cent, increase of
duty on the appraised value. Dilligent
and faithful officers could, we think, make
undervaluation a dangerous and expensive
business. Besides, if the objection be
merely to the operation of the system, it
ought not to be condemned without pre
vious exhaustion of all means for giving it
a fair trial. One remains yet untried,
which would doubtless have a stringent
efFect in repressing frauds. It is that on
all occasions government should havo the
option of taking the duties either in cash
upon the valuation, or in kind, taking its
proportion of the goods. This has been
proposed at different times when tariff
bills were under consideration, but there
are difficulties in the details for. carrying
it out, which caused its rejection. But it
would, decidedly, be better to adopt it,
rather than abandon the ad valorem sys
tem for that of specifics, The difficulty
of administering the law should be no
ground for the adoption of an antagonistic
principle while any remedy is possible for
the defects.
But the defects of the law are of secon
dary importance after all, in the objections
to the ad valorem duties. The real griev
ance is in the principle, and the real ground
of complaint is, that it does not sufficiently
protect the domestic manufacturer in the
possession of the market against foreign
competition. Fairly stated, and openly
stated, the demand is, that specific duties
are needed to protect domestic manufac
turers, because ad valorems diminish when
it is the interest of the manufacturer that
they should rise, and rise when they are
of no use to him.
Yet we see it often stated that the man
ufacturers want no increase in the absolute
rates of taxation. All they want is that
the protection contained in the ad valorem
dutier should be made specific.
The propositions are irreconcilable.
Specific duties take into consideration
quantity in some form only. Ad valorems
consider only value. By one system, a
fixed tax is charged upon all imports of
the same kind without regard to cost; by
the ad valorem rate -every individual arti
cle is charged in proportion to its valua
tion. A specific duty on any class of
articles, as on a square yard of cloth, or a
dozen of glassware of some kind, may be
accidentally equivalent to a given ad val
orem upon one of the articles. But with all
others of the same class, it is different
and the difference increases in both direc
tions from the point of casual coincidence
Thus a specific duty of one dollar a ard
upon cloths is a twenty-five per cent duty
- ad v alorem upon cloths costing four dollars
a yard; and every specific duty can thus
it .1
oe snown to be equivalent in some cases
to a certain ad valorem. But at every oth
er point the duties by one scale increase
as the other diminishes. Thus the duty
of twenty-five per cent, is equal to a duty
of one dollar a yard on cloths costing four
dollars. But on cloths costing six dollars
a yard, twenty five per cent, would
amount to one dollar and a half. The
specific duty of one dollar, the yard would
only be sixteen and two-thirds of one per
cent, ad valorem. So on the inferior
quality, costing two dollars a yard, the
specific duty would be fifty per cent.; and
the ad valorem of twenty five per cent,
would be only fifty cents. Both fluctuate
as the cost of the article varies only the
ad valorem preserves the same proportion
to the value of the article taxed being
low on the low priced, and higher on the
more costly; while the specific duty ope
rates reversely, and is higher as the value
of the article diminishes, and falls as it
rises.
This violates thfirst principle of taxa
tionwhich is, that men should contrib
. uie to the support of government in pro
portion to their means. The principle of
"iu spuciuc i3 uiai un wno use imported
articles, or the corresponding domestic
article of which the price is maintained by
taxing the foreign article, shall pay alike,
whether they use the cheapest and coars-
' or the most fine and costly article. ;
The tax is essentially unequal, and its in
equality is of the worst sort, for it dis
criminates in favor of those who are most

fixed sum upon every description of arti
cle make the duties largest on the inferi
or article, growing higher as the cost aug
ments. The plain distinction, therefore, to be
observed for the fair discussion of this
question, is that ad valorem duties are
equitable adjustments of the contributions
of tax-payers for revenue to the govern
ment, in which the protection to manufac
turers is an incident. Specifics are arbi
trary arrangements of the same, in which
the protection is the first consideration,
and revenue merely contingent and acci
dental. Chinese at San Francisco.
Among the strange groups going to make
up the population ol ban rrancisco, not
the least remarkable are the emigrants from
China. A letter says:
At least 75 houses have been imported
from Canton, and are put up by the Chi
nese cardenters. Nearly all the chairs in
private families are of the Chinese manu
iacture, anu mere are two restaurants m
the town kept by Kong-sung and Whan"
tong, where very palatable chow-cow,
curry and tarts are served up by the Ce
lestials.
Another account says: We are so for
tunate as to be located in a section of the
town w here large numbers of Chinese have
pitched their tents, and we have remarked
with much interest the character and hab
its of these people. From early morn to
late in the evening these industrious men
are engaged in their occupation of house
builders, of which a great many have been
exported from China; and the quietness
and order, cheerfulness and temperance
which is observable in their habits is no
ticed by every one. Search the city thro'
and you will not find an idle Chinaman;
and their cleanliness exceeds any other
people we ever saw.
The buildings brought from China are
generally 20 feet square one story in
height and 12 feet from floor to ceilino-.
The timbers are round, and many of them
very crooked. We have noticed in sev
eral instances the erection of China build
ings of double the size described above
but we suppose that in such cases two
separate frames are erected together, thus
forming a single building. The first move
ment after raising the frame is to attach
the window, which consists of a frame and
blinds, without sash. The blind is so con
structed as to close itself by its own weight
the sash being of double with outside.
The timber is very uniform in size, and
about six or eight inches in diameter.
The boards are well seasoned, and resem
ble American ceder. The price of a Chi
nese building, such as tve have described,
including the erection is $1500. The
building, however, consists simply of the
frame and covering. They are brought
from Hong Kong.
Extensive Robbery and Conspiracy.
One of the most extensive robberies and
conspiracies that has occurred for many
years past, involving some 10,000 in gold
and silver coin, has just been brought to
light in New York city. The case is now,
and has been for several days, under the
direction and supervision of Justice Os
borne. Arrests have been made, and the
accused parties held in custody for further
examination. The facts in the case are
as lollows: It appears that a Frenchman,
by the name of Francois Amile Tavernier,
arrived in this country, about four months
since, from Martinique, one of the West
India Islands, bringing with him $10,000
in gold doubloons, jewelry, &c. Soon
after his arrival, he became acquainted
with a trench family, by the name of
Jeandel, residing at No. 526 Broome
street. In this family Mr. Jeandel had a
daughter by the name of Natli, a very
pretty young woman, aged about22 years.
An intimacy, in visiting the family, soon
existed between this daughter and Mr.
Tavernier, and the result was marriage,
after a courtship of short duration. The
daughter then went to live with her hus
band, at his dwelling-house, corner of
First avenue and Seventh street. Here
they couiinued to live together happily,
until the wife discovered that her husband
was in possession of a very large amount
of money, This fact being communicated
to some of her friends, a little discord be
gan to exist between Natli and her hus
band, and, in concert with her friends, a
conspiracy is alleged to have been entered
into, for the purpose of obtaining poses
sion of this large amount of money. In
order to accomplish their designs, the wife
swore her life on her husband, and had
him arrested. While the husband was in
the custody of the law, the wife escaped
with the 810,000, and has not since been
heard of. She was seen to leave the
house with Durand. This astounding
fact was immediately communicated to
Justice Osborne, who directed -the imme
diate arrest of Durand, Mr. Jeandel, the
father of the wife, and also her aunt, a
Madame le Clerc. The divellino-s of
these accused parties have been searched,
but without finding the whereabouts of
either the wife or the money. On the
person of Durand was found fifty-three
five franc pieces. It is supposed that she
has fled to this city, and two police offi
cers are now here, searching for the faith
less wife 'and her ill-goftcn gains.-VjtT.
