HOW Importers EVade tho Tariff.
A special correspondent of the INTELLI.
GESCER writes from New York that Falk
Bros, a short time ago, received ten bales
OF Sumatra tobacco, in which were packed
80 per cent. of Havana filters and by a
recent decision of the secretary of the
treasury they were allowed to pass through
the custom house under the old law, which
exacted duty of 85 conts per pound, in
stead of 81 per pound, as the new law
contemplated. The new law reads h" All
wrappers containing 80 per cent. OF filters
shall pay 35 cents per pound duty" Sev.
eral tobacco men, including one of the
above firm, are in Amsterdam repacking
Sumatra tobacco-that is, they put into
each bale of Sumatra 33 per cent of Ha.
vana filters, and thus escape the payment
of the higher duty. This will have a bad
effect on The sale Of seed leaf as It euables

with the gas company for lighting tho

CHRISTMAS meets with au universal

The sleigh bells are merrily ringing
and nature has done all she can to give
us merry Christmas. The unproduc-
tlveness Of labor, however, will be a
drawback to the full enjoyment If the
season. There does not seem to be any
very good reason why our industries
should be checked, but there Is no doubt
that they are not in a nourishing condi.
tion. The country Is growing and de.
veloping and its trade ought to be In
good condition. There has been a great
over production in the item of railroads
undoubtedly, which have been built be
yond present requirements. 1t would
seem that the stimulus under which the
business Of the country was lately boom
ing, was largely attributable to these en-
terprises, for there are few others which
appear to have been unduly driven. A
great deal of money has been lost In the
stock market where a great deal had been
previously gained, The public are very
effectually weaned from that avenue to
wealth and have returned to their ordi.
nary business avocations, TO find them
likewise very uhpromising in the way Of
profits. There has been some great dis.
turbance which has produced this alb
normal condition of trade, but what II
may be is not readily detected in view
of the apparently undisturbed and pros
porous condition of the country. Money
is abundant and cheap and and so is
labor. Industry ought 20 be active un-
der these conditions, and there is
every reason to believe that it
will be in the coming year, TO which
business men are hopefully looking, The
wages of labor will he lower than in
the past year, and the rates of railroad
carriage will be reduced, The conditions
will be produced which will give EN-
ployment to idle factories and hands,
whatever their conditions are for the
one thing which the general interest re-
quires is that such employment shall be
found
