A. K. Tingle, Special Supervising Agent of the Treasury Department, has made his report. He presents some interesting facts regarding aplom smuggling. The increase of the duty in 183 from $6 to $10 per pound stimulated smuggling and encouraged the investment of large capite In the organization of syndicates to engage in the business, so that regular importations which paid duty were reduced from 298,000 pounds in 1883 to less than 40,000 pounds in 1885. It is sale to say that over half the prepared opium consumed in the country during the past six years has heen smuggled. The only practical increase by the last Tariff act of $3 per pound simply adds that much to the smugglers' profits And nothing to the Government's revenge." Itis believed that an internal revenue tox of not over $5 per pound on the prepared article, and crudes spion admitted free, and a corresponding duty upon prepared smoking opium imported, would put an end to smuggling, and thus accomplish the real purpose of Congress in the enactment of the cinuses perinining to this subject in the McKinley Tariff act.
