two tickets in the field for aldermen and

good men. No political question was agi.

matters of small importance. The tn

not have been Democratic or Radiral

THE WESTERN MEN MAKING A HARD PUsH-DRAw-
BACKS DEMANDED IF THE HOUSE BILL PASSES.


iBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, June THE representatives OF
the tobacco manufacturers who are now IN Wash
ingtOn urging Congress to reduce the tax on to-
bacco from "a to 16 cents per pound, had inter
views to-day with several Senators urging
them to accept this feature of the Burchard
bill. Among these are Ex-Governor Young, OF
Ohio, who will make argument in favor of the
reduction before the Senate Committee on Finance
as soon as the subject before that committee
The Governor says that he represents an interest III
the West which pays $31000,0OO year IN taxes
and that tits mistake to suppose that the reduction
of the tax will reduce the revenue. On the con-
trary he says the reduction will increase the rev.
enue nasmuch as the present rate encourages fraud
while the proposed reduction will encourage honest
returns.
One of the largest manufacturers in the North has
written letter to gentleman in this city in which
be SAYS: 1t has been estimated that if TIE reduced
rate of tax takes effect the loss accrung to the uea
ers of the country having 600 pounds OF TAX
paid goods on hand will amount to nearly TWO
million dollars. Consequently Congress should
provide for a rebate or drawback equivalent to the
difference between the old and new rate on such
tax-paid goods as they have on hand. Otherwise
the Government, having exacted "a and
30 cents pound on tobacco ana
snuff before the same could be consumed. 1t
follows that it would be an act of reputation or
robbery to Just that extent. The loss falling upon
the dealers at present juuctuTo Will be either the
cause or excuse for forcing many Of them into bank
An influential member of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance said to-day that the
objection to the reduction OF the tax on
tobacco is that it is not only pretty certain TO re-
duce our receipts from internal revenue, but that
if Congress does justice to the tobacco trade IL must
pass drawback bill which will take several mil
lion dollars out of the Treasury which have already
been collected,

fBY TELEGRAPH TO TliE TRIBUREi
WASHINGTON, June IA delegation Of mer-
chants from New-York and several other cities Wis
tied the Ways and Means Committee to-day to urge
the adoption of an amendment to the present law,
which shall provide for tax Of ten cents per pound
on teas. They took the ground that the consumption
Of coffee by the laboring masses of the country is so
great to place that article among the necessities
Of life thus making it unwise TO change the law
which now relieves this staple of tax. With tea,
however, they srid, it is the reverse. 1t is. to
great extent, luxury INDUCED in by the upper and
mddle classes and some tax is necessary to secure
'aenarket against cheap adulterations. Statistics
were Introduced toshOw how the Chinese took advan-
age otour free ports of entry TO crowd our market

pilees were charged as for better brands and how,
