In re Straus

46 F. 522 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York | 1891

Lacombe, Circuit Judge.

Taking the language of the new tariff act as a whole and in its entirety, from beginning to end, I cannot escape the conviction that it manifests a plain intention to substitute that tariff act in the place and stead of all prior tariff legislation, so far, at least, as such legislation lays a duty upon imported articles of any kind. The decision of the appraisers is therefore affirmed.
