In such cases no actual sale has been made to fix their value. The foreign manufacturer, if he be dishonest, prepares an invoice of the goods, not at their actual value, but at the very lowest rate necessary to escape detection. In this manner the dishonest importer and the foreign manufacturer enjoy a decided advantage over the honest merchant.

"This man was a big Chicago importer look out, you've got another bass and he was in New York at the time of the fire heard his warehouses were threatened and bought trainloads of stuff and rushed it through. It arrived while the other stuff was still smoking, and he made much more than he My dear sir, that's the best fish of the evening, let me look at him."

A friend of Mr. Dewdney got some meat, but the article stank, and the importer knew not how to dispose of it. "O sell it to the Indians," the Governor said; and, "Lo! to the poor Indian" it was sold; and sold at tenderloin prices.
"Oh, is he dead?" she asked more gently than she had yet spoken. "Yes, he died just before I went abroad. I went out on business for my father, he's an importer and jobber, and bought goods for him.
