IMSKIX. In throuch undervaluation and other rheme. the larger number of eraugglers ore who bring In goods as pas-encero arriving from foreign ports. Formerly few peoila regarded it aa dishonest to make false derlarw Ions as to their barrage. Not only did they smiiggle by means of false declarations, but they hrlll the officers into collusion with them.

Wealth and political Influence were usually able to hush up any discoveries. The less Influential Classes felt that if wealth and Influence could emuggle and go unpunished there was no reason why thv, too. should not do likewise. The government has changed all this. Today the port of New York la collecting about four times as much from Incoming passengers as formerly.

At ltoston the collodions swelled. In a few years from i7i.o.u to SUM). on a year. Much of this Is tue to a stricter enforcement of the Uw anxl to the breaking up of th sleeper-trunk frauds. But the major portion of It arises from the moral effect the present attitude of the government.

In (online passenrers have learned that the customs authorities rr-frarrt it as criminal to make rals declaration, and that prosecution Is bound to follow attempted evasions of the law. When Geonre B. Cottelvou was made secretary of. the treasury. of the first thln he did was to plac declarations Hi the hands of r-ervtsers ion before they arrived at port.

The averanre tourist preferred to pay duty rather than make a voyajre acrcss th ocean with a guilty conscience as his chief companion. (One of the articles of the smugglers trade Is the diamond. Although uncut stones are permitted to come Into the country free of duty, cut atones are taxed heavily. The most accomplished diamond smuggler in the history the country was a ticlgtarv who his wares In Antwerp. Amsterdam, Parts and London, He had a brother in New York and made- frequent trips to that city.

Althourh the customs authorities suspected him for many years they could not obtain the necessary evidence to ar-test him. He would Invariably come over to the United States on a certain ship, returning on Jts outgoing trip, always raking the same stateroom. The only evidence that could against him was the fact that hla brother always had diamonds to sell after one of these trii-a. But inspect Ms baggage as often as they would, the customs authorities never could And trace of a stone. At last, however, the two brothers fell out and the one In New York Informed the customs house of his brother's method.

He was always accompanied to thi) steamer by his brother when he -sailed on. his return voyage. As no one thinks of watching! an outxolnsr ship for violations of the customs law, It was easy for him to take the diamonds from their hiding place In his stateroom and hand them to his brother-Just before the vessel left. When William McKlnleys coffin was being lowered Into the crave at Canton, every wheel of the government for five minutes, and although the customs Inspectors were -in the midst of an examination of pasBenirer bacicafre on the F'iers of New-York, everyone stond stnl or the appointed time. While this silence was being observed a eUstoms Inspector noticed a fashionably dressed man whose silk hat appeared to be a little top heavy.

Ha accidentally knocked it off with his cane, and a whole hat full of nne silverware dropped out Upon another occasion a man came down the gang' plank clothed like a clergyman, ctrrying In his hand what appeared to be an orthodox edition -of the Bible. All went well until he happened to stumble end fall. A secret spring in his pseudo-Bible was unloosed and out rolled a large number of diamonds. Pearls come Into the United States, as precious stones, dutiable at 10 per Cent, when unstrung. When strung they classed tLfp Jewelry, dutiable at per cent.

Some years asro there was a steady Importation pearls and the customs authorities concluded that they were to be used for a stngle strand. An expert put them together and to und they bad been perfectly matched, and as si matter of fact, did constitute a string of great value. It was held that the mere presence or absence of the strlnsr did not determine whether they were strung or unstrung pearls, but the question was whether they bad been selected to constitute a single string. On this theory, the customs officials levied a duty of on them. The importer took the case to the courts, and the lower courts afflrme.i the decision of the -customs house.

Later Hi was appealed to the supreme Crrrt of the United States, and that body deckled that the presence or absence of. the string Itself, perhaps costing a dollar or two, Ih the determining factor a to whether a lot of pearls shall pay JlO.uuO duty or StfO.OOO duty. Dressmakers are the principal violators of the customs law. The extent to which the sleeper-trunk frauds were carried robbed Uncle Sam of millions of dollars in dutlesv These frauds needed only a little conspiracy between a person on each side of the Atlantic and asteamship official. A trunk bearing the name of some rich or famous American wouhd be sent to the pier too Jate to be carried on the outgoing voyage.

The next ship out would carry it as delayed baggage. When it reached New York the steamship conspirator would have rt unloaded and It would remain unclaimed. As the steamship agents supposed they had listed It with the passenger the trunk would not included In the manifest of the. second ship. A drayman.

calling in the night after the custom authorities had left the would remove the trunk and the rest was easy No. one will venture to say hew much this class of smuggling costs the United All sorts of tricks are resorted to by professional smugglers to get their wares through the porta without paying the import toll. On man confessed that he had smuggled thousands of "dollars worth of diamonds in a coffin which was supposed to contain the corpse of his brother. Smugglers have been caught with secret cavities in the heels of their shoes. Women have been discovered converting their bodies into huge spools, wound round and round- with precious laces ad rare silks.

Others have concealed dia monds in their hair or secreted dutiable Lot 3- Women's one-piece dresses at after-Christmas prices. belongings lra multitude of secret pockets. In one case a smuggler transformed 'himself into a hunchback. When hear-' rived at New York, a man who was going to the races that day and who wantedto touch hunchback tor luck, put hu hand on the back of the seemingly afflicted traveler. He concluded that the "hunch" was not real end an examination of the 'man followed.

The lump contained a package of diamonds. -'-At the customs houses a pieces of goods may be linen today and cotton "tomorro w. The law provides that textiles shall be rated according to the classification of their Ingredient of principal value. I n. the fluctuations of the market linen tnreaa may be worth more one day and cotton thread more the next.

The manufacturers make goods which are approximately half linen and half cotton, and if linen Is up they will come in aa linen. If cotton Is the higher they will be rated as cotton. Not all goods are brought Into the United States on undervaluations, or even as low as their rer I value. A dishonest importer of paintings, knowing that there are a great many rtcn Americans whose only idea of art is the price mark, values his daubs at thousands of dollars. The government has no other alternative than to accept his valuations.

When he attempts to make a sale he points with pride to the. fact that even the customs house put a high value upon his-wares. This very of ten clinches tho bargain. He Js permitted by the government to keepr his paintings in bond for a year and to end them, back to Europe If they are not sold at the end of that time, after paying a duty of I per cent.
