Manufactures  of  linen  or  hemp  mixed  with  cotton  pay  as  linen.
Manufactures  of  wool  mixed  with  cotton,  linen,  or  hemp  pay  as  woolen.
Manufactures  composed  of  two  or  more  materials  not  specially  mentioned  pay  according ­
  to  the  highest  rate.
Merchandise  of  unknown  materials  pays  according  to  analogy.  This  applies  specially
to  earthen,  china,  crystal,  and  glass  ware.

the  centesimal  alcoholometer  of  Gay-Lussac,  weigh  from  15  to  88  degrees,  or  12.16  to
SSjdegrees  of  Cartier.  Those  which  exceed  these  weights  shall  be  classed  as  alcohol.
Net  weight  is  the  intrinsic  weight  of  the  merchandise  ;  legal  weight  that  which  includes ­

in  the  circular  from  the  Department.  The  numbers  in  parentheses  are  those  given  in
the  translation  of  the  Mexican  tariff  above  mentioned.  If  the  number  in  parenthesis
follows  the  title  it  is  a  duty  fixed  by  a  ruling  of  the  Treasury  Department.  '
Any  article  not  specified  by  the  tariff  is  examined  and  the  duty  established  by
analogy.
