Repeal of Tobacco Tax.

Repeal Of Tobacco Tax
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-There is every
| reason to believe that in his coming mes
sage, President Arthur will repeat the rec
| ommendation he made two years ago in
favor of the repeal Of all taxes on manu-
featured tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
snuff. Secretary McCulloch has fire.
| %quently declared himself to be in favor Of
| wiping out all these tobacco taxes and it is
| confidently expected here that he will join
the President in urging Congress to
take this step. The prospect is thai four
movements against the surplus revenue
| will be made this Winter. One is in the
| shape of a Pension bill which passed the
| Senate last Winter and is now on the
speakers table. This bill, if passed by
/ the House would absorb about $4,000
annually. Another is Blair's Educational
bill, which was passed by the Senate last
Winter and is now in the House. This
would swallow up an average OF $4,000
| 600 d year for eight years. The third Is
the tobacco tax repeal scheme, which will
wipe out over see, 000, 900. The fourth is
q proposed Spanish treaty which will be
| presented to the Senate for ratification. II
ratified by the Senate and carried into
operation by act Of Congress, this treaty
would do away with over $780, DOC, 900 OF
revenue
