To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Secretary Folger would first inspire informers to make charges against our merchants by promising one-fourth of the swag, and then, if a seizure be made, the seizure is of itself to be prima facie evidence of guilt, and put every claimant on the defensive to prove a foreign market value which, it is intimated, does not exist. " But, after all, who is to make the seizure in the name of the United States? It won't do to allow every informer to seize. The seizure must precede the filing of an info...rmation or indictment in court against the property, and it must be an executive and official seizure, upheld by the Treasury. If customs officers get no share of the plunder, why should the collector run the risk, if he make a seizure, of punishment for an umvar- ranted seizure? I notice also that Mr. Folger asks that all merchandise be invoiced at its ' actual cost ! ' But how can there be a ' cost ' price of a thing if nothing like it has ever been sold? Or are goods consigned by a maker to be invoiced at the ' cost ' of manufacture, which must neces- sarily be less than the selling price and less than the price at which a buyer must invoice?
