In this case, nn a tte m p t had been ninde to smuggle In $10,000 w orth of these gems—13 se parate stones—by conceal ing them In the b arrels of two foun tain pens nnd In a tube of tooth paste. "O f course," the Jewelry merchant w ent on, "If n man has any tendency tow ard smuggling, the present [trice of diamonds nnd the high Import d u ties levied on them afford him plenty of temptation. Under the present tariff an Importer of diamonds must pay one-fifth of their value to the government If they are cut, nnd one- tenth of It If they a re brought In rough. Consequently, If the man with the fountain pens and the tooth paste had bi*en successful, lie would have saved from $1,000 to $‘.1,000 In duties, depending on whether his stones were cut or uncut.
