Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
1Opinion of the Court
DARRAS, Circuit Judge.
The collector of the port of Philadelphia assessed the merchandise with which this case is concerned at 80 per cent, ad valorem, under Tariff Act July 34, 1897, c. 11, Schedule A, par. 58, 30 Stat. 154 (U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1630). The importers claimed that it was properly dutiable, under paragraph 121 of that act, at 40 cents per ton. Both paragraphs are copied in the margin.1
The Board of General Appraisers sustained the claim of the importers, and on appeal from that decision the Circuit Court entered the affirming decree which is now for review. •
