Who Paid This Duty?

A Chicago man arriving in New York 'rom Europe was found to have a silk ress pattern concealed under the lining f his overcoat. On being taken to tsk y a customs officer he broke down and earfully asked permission to pay the nty. ïhe silk had cost $60 on the ther side and he was assessed $30 as uty, which he gladly paid. Probably will be useless for Benjamin Harrison nd William McKinley to tell this inividual that the foreiener pavs the tax.
