THE TOBACCO GROWERS.
A Committee Wait Upon Secretary
FNLger.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Representatives of
the tobacco growing interests of the United
States waited on Secretary Folger today and
asked for reconsideration of the department
ruling in regard to the recent importation of
Sumatra tobacco on which duty of only So
cents per pound was assessed. There were pre-
sent at the conference besides Secretary Fol-
ger, Assistant Secretary French, Mr.. James,
chief OF the customs division, Representative
Smith, representing the Pennsylvania growers
Senators Platt and HawIey, representing the
Connecticut, Mr.. Loring Palmer, representing
the tobacco dealers of Brooklyn, Mr.. Barnet,
secretary of the Clear Haven Tobacco manufac-
turers OF New York, Mr.. j. Aron Of New York
chairman of the committee on the tobacco
trade and Mr.. Shellaberger, Attorney OF WASH
Ington. 1t was asserted that Congress in pre-
viding for the duty on leaf tobacco INTENDED to
deal only with that class OF tobacco, and the
point was made that the duty of 85 per cent in
the law related exclusively 10 package.
Senator Platt contended that thereIwere two
kinds OF leaftobAcco, one beloD ging to the class
known as "wrappers" and the other to the
class known as "fillers" and that of the first
named class not all is fit for wrappers and as
consequence there is a great waste in usiug it
for THAI pa. pose. He said Congress intended
to deal first with that sclass of wrappers, and
that if S5 per cent OF the class known as
"vrappers' was found to be fit for that pur-
pose then all in that class found in package
ought under the law to pay higher rate Of
duty.
1t was also asserted that under the recent
ruling of the department packages containing
80 per cent of good leaf tobacco and 20 per
ct. or more of inferior tobacco for filters can be
imported at lower rate of duty than imposed
on The inferior or filling tobacco greatly to detri
ment of New England manufacturers of fine
foh,s
reverse the ruling OF the department on this
question so that the duty on the importat;onEof
leaf tobacco shall be estimated by percentage
of the entire consignment fit for wrappers in
stead of only percentage of tobacco fit for
wrappers in each package. The Secretary
promised to consider the matter.

UNITED STATES NOTES.
Increased Demand for the smaller Bills

Increased Demand for the Smaller Bills
Changes Within Five Years in the Diff
ferent Denominations.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Secretary of the
Treasury has written letter to the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives in regard to the
Issue Of United States notes, in which he says
thst, since the suspension by the national
banks OF the issue OF ST. and So notes. the de-
mand for United States notes OF those dsnomi-
nations has greatly increased. A table is en-
closed, showing the changes which have taken
place in the different denominations of notes
during the past five years, and since the ma
tional banks ceased to issue notes Of less de-
nomination than So. The table shows that
from June so to Dec. 81, 1888, the increase in
circulation of Is was S3,042, OBJ, and of 2s
So, 162, IA. The amount of such notes destroy
ed during the same time was $4, ,799, ,003 in Is,
and 1881 ,S56 in 3, making the amount of Is
actually issued in the six months ended Dec.
81, 1883, 81 84l ,000 and of 2s sc, ,144 900. Fonr
notes are printed on each sheet, requiring for
the Is 1,960,000 sheets, and for the 2s 768, 100
sheets. The estimated cost of preparing this
number of sheets for delivery to the treasury
is Sl60 $50, or $50 per / 1000 sheets. Assuming
that the demand for Is and Is will not be less
for the last half of the fiscal year than it has
been for the first half, the Secretary saws that
it is manifest that the present appropriation is
far less than is necessary to supply the dema nd
for them and for the notes Of other denomi D a.
tions with the gold and silver certificates. The
demand fox silver certificates has nearly ex-
hausted the reserve. An additional appropria-
ton is also necessary for the redemption OF
sySSn. mutilated or defaced notes, and to sup
ply the dsAanl for gold and silver certificates
during the current fiscal year. The Secretary
saws that, ssif nc scpropriation is made, the
denartment will be- Compelled, in order to
keep in circulation tf7e-sssaaonnt of United
States notes required by act of Congress, s,S.ad
to keep within the present appropriation, 10
suspend or reduce the issue of Is and q. The
cost of printing 81 note, and 81 900 note is
the same If the demand for lower denomi-
nations is 20 be answered as heretofore, an ad-
| ditional appropriation of at least S150,OOO is
required"

est Of all the Constitution subjected to the crucial
test OF costly and bloody civil war, has emerged
from the fiery trial, unshaken and imp egnabls- It's
foundations broader deeper and stronger than ever
What the people demand Is the application OF
practical statesnanship to the present condition Of
the country and the reform Of abuses in the admin
istraton Of public affairs. They demand rs'rench-
ment OF expenses strict economy In expenditures;
rigd ofeisi IN the public
OF taxation aud the dismissal Of the specuators aud
punderers from official position. They are weary
platforms, made for a campaign to be laid asI At
It's mination Of the scatfolding used in the con-
struction as building is removed upon Its compile
ton. They demand actual practical reform.
If. through wise legislation BY the House of Rep
resentatives the De ocratie pa tv shall inspire the
country with confidence In the sincerity OF Its pro-
fessns aud the honesty Of iis purposes the peepls
will entrust it with the administ alton OF the gov
ernment How shall this confidence be inspirod2
Not by the promise or platform OF this party, but by
its acts.
Taxation must bo reduced to the revenue
requisite to support the goveromen, leaving small
surplus as to remove the temptation TO waste and
ext avagance. The present. Oppressive war tarff
must be modified by cautious. moderate, safe and
judcious legislation with such gradual change that
there shall be serious shock to Industrial in
terests unnecessary disturb Of the capital In
xeste upon the faith Of past and existing laws.
The session Of Congress should be as short poss
BILE. devoted TO bu.iness. President-making should
be left 10 the people.
Gov Abbett of New Jersey, said the distin-
gushing act of Gen. Buffers life was his de-
monStration that hepuOl1caDfSm could bo beat
en- in its Massachusetts, stronghold. It was
probable that year hence with another spurt,
Butler could be again carried into the COVER
norship. New Jersey might be counted on to
give the Democratic candidate for the party,
whoever he might be, larger majority than
was given 10 1880.
Gen. Butler received tremendous ovation
After an elaborate consideration Of Jackson's
character, he said Massachusetts, voted once
for Democratic President. She voted for
Jeffe rson when be didn't need her vote, but
she is and ever will be Democratic State, be-
cause her people are working populace. Al
ludiug to the Democratic prospects for
1884, he said it would be sslam-
ity to the country If Democracy did not
win. The concentration OF capital and the
rapid growth of monopolies must be stopped.
We wish to tear nobody down; we seek 10
strike down nobody; but we are determined
nobody shall pull us down. If the Democrats
win these needed reforms will be brought
about.
Governor Garcelon's text was that the
Democracy must reform with rigid determi-
nation the abuses they professed to see 10 the
present administration. SwarmiDg for o1ics
like a hungry set of cormorants would never
convince the people OF the sincerity Of the
Democratic party. (ais remarks elected a
few Kisses for their pointedness.)
