Mr.. Dibrell, Of Tennessee, moved to
suspend the rules to pass the bill repeating
so much Of clause OF section 32i4 OF the
| Revised Statutes. relating TO the sale OF to-
bacco, as imposes fine or penalty on farmers
and producers OF leaf tobacco who may sell
the same to consumers, and providing that
hereafter all farmers or other producers OF
leaf tobacco shall be allowed 10 sell their
own or their tenants production without
license or penalty. The motion was
seconded and half-hour's debate was
entered upon. Mr.. Dibrell advocated the
bill, which he asserted would only reduce
the revenue about 5000. At present il cost
the Government $4,000 to enforce the law
and collect that 5000.
Mr.. Robinson, Of Massachusetts,, opposed
the proposition rs one that would strike
down the tax on tobacco and give unlimited
opportunity TO fraud and injustice.
Mr.. Kelly, OF Pennsylvania. stated that
ne was anX. Gus to get rid OF system Of
| internal taxation which put the whole pro-
cess OF business OF particular classes under
cruel supervision, but this was beginning
at the wrong end. IT would allow reve-
nues, so far rs tobacco was concerned, TO
be frlttered away. This question was now
before the Committee on Ways and Means
and was receiving grave consideration. II
had been stated that the. revenue wonld
only be reduced TO the extent OF 5000, but
/ the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue had
| laughed at that statement and declared that
I it, effect upon the revenue could not
/ be estimated. inasmuch as manufac-
turerS' stock would be greatly de-
preciated. He Nlr. Kelly would CO.
operate in all Just efforts TO relieve The
country from internal revenue taxation,
but to repeal this law now would be to
throw the whole tobacco trade open and
deprcciatc the stock in the hands OF every
manufacturer. The House should wait
until the Committee on Ways and 1leans
| had reported on the subject. / believe
that the committee will i'm fortnight bring
in bill reducing nternal-reyenuc taxa
ton 10y an amendment OF from so, 100000
TO $4,000. 900, and then it will be time to
say what gentlemen will do TO aid in the
good work OF emancipating the South.
Mr.. Young opposed the bill, which he
argued would strike down the mauufactu-
ring interests and make every farmer
quasi manufacturer.
Mr.. Speer, Of Georgia, contended that
this yeXatious and harsh system OF taxa
ton should be abolished.
4 motion to suspend the rules and pass
the bill was lost-ayes, 1l3; noes, 9l-noi
the necessary two thirds voting in the
affirmative.

day l02 petitions from the States Of Hi
nois, Indiana, and New York, signed by
about $4,000 citizens OF those States. pray.
