Secretary "'indmir. Slaps the Repay/11101113 of
Overchargcd Duties.
Secretary Windom has sent a letter to
Collector Erhardt directing him to stop
atonee the payment of all refunds to
importers and others for alleged claims
on the famous hat material decision.
In Collector Robertson’s time he deci-
ded that, under the' act of March 3d,
1883, silk ribbons used as hat material
must pay a duty of 50 per cent. as man-
ufactures of silk and ribbons. The im-
porters claimed that they should be
called upon to pay only 20 per cent. up.
on ribbons as trimmings
During Mr. Magone’s time, John
Wanamaker, 110w Postmaster-General,
- brought suit against the Secretary of
the Treasury, claiming that the duty on
imported 'ribbons for hat materials
should be at the rate of 20 per cent. In
this suit a refund Of the differences be-
tween the 20 per cent. and the 50 per
cent duties was demanded. No settle-
ment was reached and with the advent
of the Harrison administration Mr. VVa—
namakeI renewed his claim.
Finally the case reached the United
States Supreine Court, and by a majo1-
ity opinion a decision was rendered 111
favor of Mr. Wanamaker. At the time
of the decision duties amounting to
$109, 000, 00 had been paid,'1 . and alt 1gcth-
or there had been formal piotests
‘ against the collection of 11195011141- cent.
duty amounting to .‘25 per cent. of that
amount. This all told, when sifted
down thoroughly, would amount to
about $15,000,000 in refunds due to im-
porters. Under the decision of the S11-
preme Court about $5,000,000 of these
refunds have been paid since February
last. At the New York Custom House
$1,595,000 have been paid in refunds.
Secretary Windom now directs that
the payments be stopped. In his offi-
cial letter no reason is given for his de-
cision, but it was learned that the legal
advisers of the Administration have.
come to the conclusion that the attor-
neys for the Government made certain
concessions to the importers which they
had no right to make. For instance,
the admission by certain attorneys for
' the Government that ribbons could be
accepted as trimmings is not believed
t0 have been warranted by the statute
governing the duties on manufactures
of silk and ribbons. It is said that Mr.
Miller 311d his associates will go over
the ground again and will eliminate
the 0011083810118 made to importers and
Will oppose the new suits which inevit-i
ably 11111815 be vbl'Ollaht because of the
complication.
There was very 301191-511 interest at the
Custom House and’ anmng the import-
ers yesterday when the decision of Sec-
retary Windom was made known. A11
reliquidations were immediately stop-
ped, and importers who hadhoen look.
,ing forward to the refunds were ry - ,
