Naturally il would seem that reduction of in
tcTna taxes should precede and not follow rcduC-
tion Of the tariff; but in this | think the re-
verse VIII prove true. There IS good dcal o1
sentiment in legislation after all, and great many

and Tobacco. believe, therefore,; that
ostlon 10 abolish those taxes he will lind himself IN
minority, aud that they will be retained until
aiter the tariff shall have been revised
