whep' it becomes a law the
duty will be paid not accord-

American valuation which
may be placed upon them by
tome Custom’s House Officec*.
Just how the Officer is to
determine the American val-
uation remains to be’ seen. For
instance, onions have sold at
Laredo, Texas, for $1jD0 per
bushel, and at the same time
they were worth $3.50 per
bushel in New York. These
were both American valuation

have to determine such ques-

duty would b« upon a thous-
