coby & Co., who some yesrs ago had large
number Of Cinnamon in their employ, We
don't employ MonRoliaus, because we done
like their work. They are too dirty in their
personal habits, and there is a prejudice
against them. h Istern manufacturers would
rather have their work done in tenement
houses, as bad as that is known to be, than
employ Chinese Very few of the cigars
made in California are sold in the L E.stern
States. Thsy are used principally in Texas,
Arkansas and Mississippi 1 do not believe
there is any danger Of the Chinese ever
obtaining monopoly Of the cigar trade
East, or even obtaining employment
in the manufactories We can get along
very well without them. In regard to the
strike now going oa among our employees,
everything is quiet and we are fully equipped
| Tue strikers issue bOycotting circulars every
day or so, and occasionally assault the work
men employed by us, but our main business
is not in any way affected by the strike.

men, and those three only on special work
and because they have been with the firm
some tine He did not know Of any firm in
the city tbat employed Cinnamon. Inquiries
made Of half a dozen manufacturers elected
the fact that Cinnamon were not employed
to any extent in the cigar trade in the city.

Justice Fields Political Views.
New York, March 21st.-lhe Sun SAYS:
Judge Field said recently to a correspondent
Of the Portland, Me-, Press This Con.
gress ought to be very careful how it con.
ducts itrelf on the free trade policy. 1t
should go slsw on tayif reform. don't think
the people viii consent to sweeping tariff re-
due ions or a general free trade policy. We !
have no commercial marine, and the people |
OF this country are dependent upon other
countries for nothing. We cen manufacture |
here everything we need. l fear the policy |
of large tariff reductions would be fatal to
the party" The Sun adds judge Field |
says frankly and unreservedly that he is not
a Presidential candidate. This statement |
ought to be frankly and unreservedly ac
cspted. Field says "1ilden was most |
shsnetully deIrauded, ana II ne Is able and
willing to be a candidate, he will undoubt- |
edly be nominated The Sun adds The |
sole but all too feeble recompense grateful |
party can nov make is to cffsr him the honor
Of nomination by acclamation.
