paragraph used in an adjectival sense 

 modifying the -words "clumps" and 

 "bulbs" at the end of each of the 

 brackets is shown by the insertion of 

 the word "pips" after the words "lily 

 of the valley" in the second bracket. 

 It would have been unnecessary if the 

 words "lily of the valley" were used 

 in the nounal sense and the word 

 "bulbs" were modified by the word 

 "gloxinia" only. The same inference 

 is gathered from the second enumera- 

 tion of "lily of the valley clumps" in 

 the third bracket. If these words were 

 used by congress in the nounal sense, 

 as contended by the government the 

 single use of the words "lily of the 

 valley" in the second bracket, with- 

 out being followed by the word "pips," 

 would have been sufficient to embrace 

 lily of the valley clumps, pips, or 

 bulbs, if the contention of the govern- 

 ment is true. 



The grammatical construction of the 

 phrase concedes to the word ' ' hya- 

 cinth" an adjectival sense modifying 

 the word "clumps." 



It is a well-settled rule of construc- 

 tion that the grammatical sense must 

 be adopted unless there are within the 

 statute cogent reasons indicating a con- 

 trary intent upon the part of the law 

 makers. 



In Endlich on the Interpretation of 

 the Statutes, section 2, it is stated: 



The first and most elementary rule of construc- 

 tion Is, • • « and that the phrases and sen- 

 tences are to be construed according to the rules 

 of grammar; and from this presumption It Is not 

 allowable to depart, unless adequate grounds are 

 found, either in the context or In the conse- 

 quences which would result from the literal Inter- 

 pretation, for concluding that the interpretation 

 does not give the real Intention of the legislature. 



More definitely applied, the same au- 

 thority in section 414, after citing and 

 reviewing many adjudged cases in 

 point, states: 



Indeed. In most cases, it will be found, on some 

 ground of this sort, that, where several words are 

 followed by a general qualifying expression which 

 Is as much applicable to the first as to the last, 

 that expression Is not limited to the last, but 

 applies to all. 



In Lewis' Sutherland Statutory Con- 

 struction, section 408, the rule is af- 

 firmed in this language: 



Statutes as well as other writings are to be 

 read and understood primarily according to their 

 grammatical sense, unlesB It Is apparent that the 

 author intended something different. In other 

 words. It Is presumed that the writer Intended 

 to be understood according to the grammatical 

 purport of the language he has employed to ex- 

 press his meaning. This presumption gives way 

 when It appears from a perusal of the context or 

 the whole statute that the legislature did not 

 grammatically express Its Intention. 



There is nothing in the context of 

 this paragraph or act which to our 

 minds indicates that the word "hj'a- 

 cinth" was to be used other than in 

 its grammatical sense, and as such sen- 

 tences are construed by the courts, to- 

 wit, as an adjective modifying the word 

 "clumps." On the contrary, for the 

 reasons stated before, we think the con- 

 text and history of the paragraph indi- 

 cates the intention upon the part of 

 congress to use the word in an ad- 

 jectival sense. 



We are of the opinion, therefore, that 

 by the proper provision of paragraph 

 263 congress intended to and did levy 

 a duty of $2.50 per thousand upon 

 "hyacinth clumps," and that the only
