\ good deal of favorable comment is
heard among leaf dealers, cigar nlanufac-
turers and tobacco growers, relative to the
proposed law now before Congress to take
Of'the heavy tax now imposed on cigars.
1t is argued that the exorbitant tax is not
only I'm ust to the smoker who is obliged
to pay two or three prices for his cigar,
but that it cpe;atcs greatly to the disad-
vantage Ofal! classes except the wealthy
manufacturer. The small manufacturers
who lack the capital to pay for stamps,
keep Il large stock on hand Or sell on
credit, axe crushed out by their wealthy
competitors. and thousands OF cigarmak-
ers, who otherwise would manufacture for
themselves and make :; profit on their
labor, are compelled to do journey work
for the benefit of wealthy manufacturers.
If the tax were taken oil small manufac-
tories would spring up throughout the to-
bacco growing districts and the manuiac-
turcrs would be brought into close COM
munication with the grower, who would
not then, as now, be subject to the tluctu
alton in prices, caused by the bulling and
bearing of the market by the millionaire
dealers and manufacturers. Beside the sys-
tenn of espionage now pract!ced by the rev.
enue officers would no longer prevail the
intricate system 0! bookkeeping now re-
quired by all manufacturers sometimes
greatly to their loss owing to unintcntional
mistakes made by thcm) would be done
away with, and the expenses Of the gov
ernment would be greatly lessened by
largely reducing the number of revenue
officers now required. These are some OF
the reasons given by those who favor the
abolition of the cigar tax. More tariff
on foreign goods and less on home manu-
features is their cry just now.
