Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We are of tlie opinion tliat the shells in question here were not manufactured, and were not manufactures of shells, within the sense of the statute ini]losing a duty of 35 per centum upon such manufactures, but were shells not manufactured, and fell under that designation In the free list. They were siill shells. They had not been manufactured into a new and different article, having a distinctive name, character, or use from that of a shell. The application of labor to an article, either by hand or by mechanism, does not make the article necessarily a ‘manufactured article,’ within the meaning of that term as used in the tariff laws. Washing and scouring wool does not make the resulting wool a manufacture of wool. Gleaning and ginning cotton does not make the resulting cotton a manufacture of cotton. In Schedule M of section 2504 of the Iievised Statutes, page 475, 2d edition, a duty of 30 per cent, ad valorem is imposed on ‘coral, cur or manufactured’; and in section 2505, page 484, ‘coral, marine, unmanufactured,’ is made exempt from duty. These provisions clearly imply that, but for the special provision imposing a duty on cut coral, it would not be regarded as a manufactured article, a lthough labor was employed In cutting it.””
