TOBACCO TAX ABOLITION.

A Democrats Argument TO Prove That
Protection OF Home Labor Is More
Necessary Than Ever.
Representative Flndlay, Of Maryland, In
troduced yesterday q preamble and Joint
resolution reciting that the tax on tobacco
is heavy burden on the agricultural inter
est; that the system devised for its collec-
tion operates disadvantageopsly on manu-
facturers with limited capital, and has a
tendency to concentrate In few hands the
monopoly OF making cigars, &C.; that the
necessity for change In the tariff Is not
apparent or urgent, by reason Of the fact
that all articles have been so cheapened
within the last few years that there is little
or no margin for further decrease; that II
the diminution Of revenue be the OBJ
1ect' Of the proposed change OF tariff II
is by no means clear that such
reduction will follow as consequence OF
lower rates OF duty, but, on the contrary,
II may be reasonably expected that lower
duties will result In increased revenues,
that whatever may have been tho policy oil
the country under more favorable circum'
stances with reference to tariff reduction,
such policy would be both impolltic and
impracticable, in view OF the agitation now
going on for diminished hours OF labor al
the same, or increased. wages as under the
ten-hour rule, rendering protection OF oul
home labor against foreign competition
more necessary than ever; and abollshing
all taxes OF every description upon tobacco
and upon the manufacture and sale thereof

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: II is to be
noted that the House will go slow in the mat
ter Of acting upon the Mexican treaty. Under
its provisions we are to receive free of duty
Mexican beef, barley, sisal, pulp, hemp, and
all substitutes for hemp, sugar, tobacco, and
many other articles which we produce and
consume large quantities of.
On the other hand, Mexico admits, duty
free, under the proposed reciprocity treaty."
which does not In any sense reciprocate, agri-
cultural implements and few other articles
for which there Is little or no demand In that
country, and collects a tariff duty of 100 per
cent ad valorem on our textile fabrics, for
which there is some demand.
During the past ten years we have paid
S12, 900 for 05,6S2.274 pounds Of Mexican
coffee, every ounce of which was admitted into
the market of the United States duty free, while
our cotton goods were admitted into the Moxi-
can market under tariff OF 1870 per cent. ad
valorem; and this arrangement Is 10 be con-
-iinued under the treeiproeity trodtnn so called.
Slavery virtually exists In Mexico under
contract labor laws and arrangements have,
II is stated, boon made to further cheaper and
degrade the labor OF the country-ifthnt were
possible-by the wholesale Importation of
coohe labor from China.
Congress may well hesitate before admitting
this labor into competition with ours.
Let the treaty tbe. rejected by. all means.

PLANTATION in the Senate yesterday. He
read paragraph from Washington news
paper stating that Senator Ingalls, had re-
quested the Senator from Virginia to be
present at q meeting OF the committee on
the District Of Columbia, in order to make
n quorum for the consideration OF the Mat
thews case; that Mr.. Riddleberger emphatl-
cally declined TO attend, saying he would
never help to put colored man into office.
Mr.. Riddleberger said he cared for no
part of this statement except the use of
the term ''colored man, He asserted that
he had never heard in committee or else
where any reference to race or color as q
reason for or against confirmation of Mr..
Matthews, nor had he ever himself made
such q reference.
The term 'colored man" was used for
some other purpose than to state the po-
eition OF any senator upon the Matthews
case. The rules of the Senate forbade
statement Of reason for the delay.
Mr.. Ingalls, said that no such converse
ton as that described In the paragraph
read by the senator from Virginia had ever
taken place. lie had never had any con-
versatlon with any gentleman upon the
subject, and SO far as he was concerned
| the statement was an emanatlon OF the i'm

The Fishing C9) Visit of Postmaster
General Villas TO Virginia Causes
Comment.
Postmaster General Villas returned 10 the
city on Sunday from Virginia, where he
went to "fsh." A good many people say,
however, that Mr.. Villas took with him
big trunk full Of law books, and was more
engaged with the study OF these than in
any archaeological dlveision. The proba-
BILE fact Is that Mr.. Villas was designated
by the President TO go to Monticello and
commune with the spirit Of Thomas Jeffer-
son. The result OF the visit is said to have
been entirely satisfactory, as Mr.. Villas re-
turned with several valuable yet poeti-
cally simple mementoes OF his visit. These
he will transfer to the Presidents
Mr.. Villas has kept the purpose of his visit
very quiet, and not even his most intimate
friends can throw any light upon II. To n
reporter who inquired the size and quality
of Virginia trout this season, Mr.. Villas said
ooh, guess the flsh are all right, but
didn't go fishing, The size and quality Of
fish on this occasion will depend entirely
upon the prolific writer who chronicles my

and Iron. Those who have tried other ner-
vines and toniGs and found them wanting
when they have once tried IIenley's eoui-
pound, can never be persuaded TO use anything
else. The proof of the pudding Is the eating
thereof.

It's food and tonic far better than Wine
For 1t ntoxicates not, like the fruit of the vine

Prices Comparatively Steady with n
Tendency Toward Low Figures.
NEW YORK, May 9.-The new week
opened at the stock exchange this morning
with a much more active market, but trad
ing was throughout the day at the expense
OF quotations. At the opening there was
very little difference from the closing fg-
ures Saturday afternoon and In some cases
slight advances were made In the first few
minutes, but this was followed by decided
break among the most active stocks,
which continued until after II o'clock.
From that time until p. m. the market
was more quiet md prices comparatively
steady, although the tendency was toward
lower figures. Renewed weakness was de-
veloped later, and the movements during
the remainder Of the afternoon were de-
cidedly irregular, but the activity aud
weakness went together, while dizziness,
with comparative steadlness or slight adj
yances, was the feature. Three stocks,
Lackawanna, st. Paul, and Lake Shore,
contributed 40 per cent. OF the days bust.
ness, and three others, New York Central,
Northwestern, and Union Pacific 10, per
cent. more, making 213,170 shares for the
six stocks mentioned, against total Of
$4,000, an increase over Saturdays busi-
ness Of n, $50 shares.
There was only ono subject OF discussion
on the street, and that related 10 the strikes.
The news from Chicago throughout the
day was unfavorable, but the more conf
dent operators still claim that an adjust
ment OF some kind will be reached at an
early date, and that the effect OF the present
troubles must therefore be temporary. The
failure Of prominent broker, Mr.. Tasker
Marvin, who has been conspicuous in the
board for some time past as an active
operator, and especially in the coal stocks,
| Changers stocks and others, probably had
some influence In depressing prices 10 the
afternoon. The market closed weak as O
rule, and the figures generallya little better
| than the lowest of the day.
