Importers of Hat Trlmlmngs Under
.Turin of 1883 Settle Their Suits.
After pending for nearly twenty
years. nearly all the two thousand
suits brought against the United States
government by Importers of but trim-
mings, have been cleared of! the cal-
cndar. sans the New York Herald.
While lhm‘c was a total of nearly $00-
000000 imohcd the government has
escaped with payments aggregating
only $3,000,000.
Moat of the hut trimmings imported
under the tariff act of l883 were of
silk or silk texture. and the Customs
inspectors classed those as silk and
exacted a duty of 50 per cent ad valor-
em. The importers throughout the
country most of whom are In New
Y.ork however contended that their
importations sdould be taxed under
the classification of bat trimmings, on
which there is n duty of 20 per cent
ad vaiorom. For the difference of 30
per cent, aggregating almost 860,000.-
000. suits to recover from the govern-
ment were brought by nearly two thou-
sand importers.
Few of these cases had been settled
before General Henry L Burnett be-
came the United States District Attor-
ney for the southern district. of New
York, and most of the decisions had
been against the government. There
was a general belief among the oili-
clais that the amount which would be
recovered by the importers would be
33ywhere from “5.000.000 to $40,000:
0.
icneral Burnett obtained authority
to have a board of competent experts
examine each one of the cases and us-
certnin the value of,'the imports in
each. When this was done the Dis-
trict Attorney received pcrmiss‘on to
confer with the leading importers who
had berun suit in this district. and
his work in this line .was to confine
them to sung for claims against all
taxes paid on any articles over which
there was no just ground for conten-
tion. ,
Some of the importers more not will
log to do this: many others agreed
The cases of the latter were hurried
to trial. and on trial a judgment was
generally given against the govern-
ment on all- the articles which had
been classed wrongfully. while the
government was notzmulrted for the
duties on any of the- importations
which had been taxed properly.
Seeing this result. these importers
who had held aloof became anxious to
submit to the some arrangement, and
so It. is that now nearly all the cases
are flared from the docket. and the
out 360000.000, th aggregate of the
amounts sued for. has to pay about
83 000 000 a saying of more than $57. -
000 000.
