Excerpt from Col. George C. Tichenor's Views on Revisions of the Tariff and Customs Laws
Believing that the tariff was the most important national and international question affecting our industries and the people generally, he early set out to familiarize himself as much as possible with this subject. In 1881 he was sent abroad, with instructions from the Secretary of the Treasury to investigate generally the subjects of undervaluation of articles exported from Europe to the United States, the costs of production of such articles in Europe, etc. He carried from the Secretary of State, Honorable James G. Blaine, a general letter of instruction to our consular officers abroad, to afford him such facilities and assistance as may be proper to promote the object of his mission.
He remained abroad most of the time for the following four years, devoting his time to the investigations as directed, and to study of the tariffs and customs administration of foreign nations. As a result of his investigations and re ports to the Treasury Department during that period, many of the most flagrant undervaluations of imported articles were discovered and remedied, especially in silks, velvets, gloves, china, and other articles subject to high ad valorem duties.
