Some have estimated that the merchandise imported in violation of the laws equalled in value the merchandise entered at the custom houses. Among the latter, Cuba was the chief sufferer." Had Cuba's coasts been made to order for the purpose, they could hardly have been better adapted to the uses of smugglers.
