From the Investigations it ap- pears that the Government is swindled atan average of about 80 per cent of the auties, and that on an aggrezats annual importation of about $40,000,000 the smount of duties with- held fraudulently ranges from $10,000,000 to 815,000,000 ‘This Ring is so strong both in Europe nnd in the New York Custom-Housa that 80 large au Imposter of silks as A T.
