Dealers, as we'll as manufacturers, appear

Gen. Grant on mexican Tobacco.
In response to letter from N. Romero,
| Gen. Grant writes as follows:
New YORK, Sept. 30, 1882.
My DEAR MIR. ROMERO II this morn
ing received the Mexican cigars you sent
NO to try, and acknowledge the receipt Of
| them at once, because have been slnok-
ing tho Mexican cigars almost exclusively
over two years, and therefore know their
quality without further trial. My friends
| to whom have sent the cigars prOnoun-
ced them superior to Havannas. 1 predict
that in the future the trade between the
United States and European states and
Mexico will grow into large proportions,
and tobacco of your country will prove an
important part of that trade. .n....
| Thanking you kindly,
am, very respectfully. yours,
| U. S. GRANT.
| Politics and Tobacco.
u. 3. TObuccO journal.
The tobacco and cigar industry is be-
ginning to take an unusual interest in
politics. Tho great mass of trade-not a
few rich monopolists- bent upon Sc
curing release from the taxation on to-
bacco and cigars.
Now OK never is tho cry. Year after
after year tho repeal of this onerous taxa.
alton has been asked for. The agitation
Of the question, which has always upset
trade, has usually ended with promises
Cor the future. The majority Of large
manufacturers don't want any reduction
they want, if anything, 4 total abolition
of tho tax on cigars and tobacco.
All manufacturers want to sec tho in.
famous bond regulation buried forever.
They want tOg give moro licenses and de.
sire to free themselves from the police
like surveillance that for twenty years
has been exercised over them aud theii
industry.
The internal revenue officials have ci
late carried out the law and their instruc.
tons in liberal and efficient way. The
trade finds no fault with them. In case Of
the abolition of the tax men like Kimball
Blake, Sparks and Boyd should be trans
fcrred to Offices where their tried and
proved efficiency could be employed fo1
the benefit of the public.
The Republican party has totally ur
needed the demands Of the industry. At
tho last session Of Congress it contracted
the enmity of most every person employed
therein.
Ohio has replied with crushing effect
Indiana will follow. Pennsylvania aud
New York are preparing for the blow.
The Cigar Trade and Politics.
At most of the political meetings hele
in New York city in the various wards b,
the Democratic party, manufacturers Of
cigars aud cigarmakers arc prominent
element.
There was an enormous rush last wcel
by cigar store keepers in New York Il
have their places designated AS places o.
> registration for the coming election. n,
less than three hundred cigar stores wcr,
50 designated.
