They necessarily remain subject to the same rates of duty, respectively, as if the said act had not been passed (S. S., 1910 and 1943;) for where it does not apply, it effects no change (S. S., 2464, 2747.) Indeed, the new act seems to make no other change in the silk duties than to extend the list of articles subject to the rate of 60 per cent. ad valorem, under prior acts. Of course, therefore, if the rate was 60 per cent, under the old law, no change is made. For whether the new act applies, or does not apply, the rate will be 60 per cent. But many articles containing slight admixtures of wool,worsted, goat-hair, mohair, or alpaca, which were formerly classified under the wool acts, now are subject to this 60 per cent. rate. Also some other articles, silk chief value, as manufactures of India-rubber and silk, metal and silk, wood and silk, and the like. The restriction in the proviso, extends only to admixtures of cotton, flax, wool, or worsted, where either of these material, mount separately to at least 25 per cent. of the value (S. S., 584.)
