Paris, August 23, 1883.Hon. Chas. J. Folger, Secretary of the Treasury: Sir: I have the honor to report that within the past two months that I have been upon the Continent I have given some attention to what is known aR "small purchases," which comprise an indescribable number and variety of articles of virtu, personal and honsehoUld adornment, &c, purchased by Americans traveling in the different countries I have visited.Notwithstanding my previous information concerning the same, I had nothing like a fair conception of the extent and enormous value of such purchases, particularly of the class intended to be taken into the United States without payment of duty and iu violation of our revenue laws.While most of sueh "small purchases" are made by people of wealth, traveling for -amusement and pleasure, and whose social standing and ample means should negative the suspicion that they would descend to defrauding the revenues, a considerable proportion of them are made by persons, including merchants, with the iutention to cover, in whole or iu part, the expenses of their trip by the profits to be realized in the sale «f the same iu the United States, through the evasion of duty.Prominent amongst the articles purchased by the latter class, especially, are flue watches and .jewelry, precious stones (set and unset), laces and kid gloves. The trade •of this kind in watches at and about Geneva is very large, as I learned from both shopkeepers ami makers, and like information was obtained with respect to laces and kid gloves at Brussels, and kid aud other leather gloves at Berlin, Leipsio, and Munich, but much the larger part of the trade therein, as in other articles, is done in Paris. Within the past ten days I have visited the leather glove department of the Bon Marche' and Louvre quite frequently, and upon each occasion have found a number of Americans there, mainly gentlemen, engaged in purchasing kid gloves—largely ladies'—the quantities varying from one dozen to twelve dozen pairs, of leugths from four to twelve buttons mainly, and of the better qualities. In many cases these are intended for sale in the United States; in instances they are bought at the request of different friends, are to "fill orders," or are designed for presents; but in all cases it is the intention to get them into the United-States without payment of duty.On yesterday, at the Bon Marche', I encountered a party of five American gentlemen, all except one young man, whose purchases of kid gloves, I learned, aggregated 188 pairs, all ladies' gloves except eighteen pairs. I was told that two of these gentlemen were merchants iu th'e State of Ohio, and that the party discussed quite freely the subject of distribution of the gloves in their baggage, &c, so as to avoid pay merit of duties. They had also purchased several lace handkerchiefs, a number of fine fans, &c. An experienced and observing interpreter and popular courier, whose services I have frequently availed myself of, reported to uie to-day that within the past week he has waited upon parties of "American tourists" in Paris whose purchases of kid gloves alone have aggregated 215 pairs, mostly ladies' gloves. He informed me that It has become a common custom for American ladies visiting Europe, especially Paris, to leave their measures with modistes or mantna-makers here for dresses aud other outside garment*, which they can thereby thereafter order made np and sent to them in the United States by other ladies visiting Europe as part of their wardrobe iu "actual use." Also that the instauces are numerous where ladies send their measures over by friends, by which garments are cut and wholly or partially made up and taken to the United States as articles of wardrobe in use of such friends.I am aware that all this is "an old, old story," yet being a true one its repeated utterance is more likely to do good than harm. It is quite natural that the inquiry should be made, Why don't he report particular cases, giving names, articles, residences, steamers upon which the parties are to sail, «fcc.? I answer that I might be able in instances to obtain this information, but since the abuse appears to have become general "distinctions are invidious," and to report a few special cases is liable, while attracting special attention to them, to distract attention from a great many others of equal importance. Very respectfully,
