The Duty ON Tobacco.
lBy telegraph to the Dlspatch.l

lbs AfA' - lAA ~ Wv 4'Ao its'N4Asl
WASHINGTON, March THE SUD
committee of the Ways and Means
Committee, consisting OF Messrs. Hew-
lit, Breckenridge of Arkansas, and
Mckinley, gave a hearing to-day to
several gentlemen ,tobacco-growers
in Connecticut, New York, and Wis
consin,) on the subject of the proposed
clause in the tariff bill relating to to-
bacco. The present law provides that
leaftobacco suitable for wrappers,
of which it requires more than
one hundred leaves to weigh a
pound, shall pay a duty of IS cents.
Arguments made before the sub.com-
mittee by +. n. Phelps, Of Windsor,
Conn. l.. L. Lord. of Edgerton, Wis. /;
and W. c. Morse, of Painted Post, n.
Y, were to the effect that the limitation
of 100 leaves to the pound should be
omitted, and that duty should be i'm
posed on all leaf-tobaccO commercially
known as wrappers Of - cents per
FOUND if not stemmed, and 81 per
pound if stemmed.
Representative Buck, of Connecticut,
argued in the same sense, and f. NJ.
Crawford, Of New York, president Of
the Tobacco Board Of Trade, gave his
views as to the proper wording Of the
law. The main objection was to the
competition of Sumatra tobacco, which,
it is claimed, interferes very sensibly
with Connecticut seed-leaf.

A Prosperous savings Bank.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.


The small savings Of thrifty com.
munlty make large aggregate. The
"Old Saving Fund.-" as it is called, at
the southwest corner of Seventh and
Walnut streets, contains nearly $780,
100000 that are the savings of over
100000 persons. At least halt OF
these people are women, and nearly
$4,000 new accounts were opened last
year. This venerable institution which
enjoys so largely the confidence Of the
community, has been over seventy
years growing to its present condition,
and has all the time been increasing the
surplus held for the protection Of the
depositors, its assets upon January LIST
having been s27, 3G6,62S, or 1882
AT in excess of the aggregate deposits,
$25. 407, $50. OF this large sum il held
81 ,430.5j4 in cash ready for draft and
S2,66l OPS in temporary loans capa-
BILE Of immediate conversion into
cash. Its invested assets are in
United States, State, and city loans
and solid railway mortgages, and
are carried in most instances at figures
much below the market value, so that
if realized upon the surplus would be
largely increased. Nothing is carried
at a valuation above par, and many
items are at lower figures, so that if
the magnificent list Of sl9, $40, DOS Of
Government, State, city, and other
bonds were converted into cash at pre-
sent prices the surplus of the saving
fund would far exceed $4,000, 900.
1t can be said without exag-
geration that no similar institution
IN the world can exceed its show
ing Of assets, its margin Of safety for
depositors, or the unquestioning trust
reposed so properly in it by such a
large number Of people. The "Old
Saving Fund " keeps the money Of one
eighth the entire population Of Phila-
delphia, and were it not for the rigid
rule restricting each ones annual de-
post to $500 the aggregate would
probably be doubled. Of the adult
population of this community we think
fully one third have at times been rep
resented among its depositors.

Springfield Labor Troubles.
fRv telaOra nh In tho Dianatch

SPRINGFIELD, Lib, March 1.-The
excitement on the labor situation is
still intense. The proprietors of the
East-Street Reaper-W Works claim that
only 39S men are out, but the men
themselves claim that 500 are out.
There is no violence. The knights Of
Labor held large meeting last night.
IL no settlement can be reached, I. V.
Powderly, Master Workman of the
Knights of Labor, will be appealed to
to act as arbitrator.
The discharged men have had many
offers o; help from businessmen and
others. The men call on all workmen
to stay away from Springfield until the
difficulty is settled. Only few outside
men have come in, and few have gone
to work. The men are already talking
Of boycotting, and are in a state of
great excitement. Most of the men
discharged will be destitute in a short
time.
The proprietors of the other factories
refuse to discharge the Knights of La
Dor in their employ. The workmen are
quiet and well disposed, yet fixed in
their determination to stand by their
action. The manufacturers also declare
their intention not to yield. What the
result will be no man can tell, yet it is
believed that the difficulties will be set
tied without violence. Several shops in
the city have recently made per cent.
advance in wages.

NEW YORK. March 4.-iIolland,
the Texan, was again upon the stand
this morning, and in the course Of his
examination Colonel Fellows asked this
question " Do you want this Jury to
believe that you came from Texas to
get 10000 in good money for $500
from Tom Davis, without an effort on
his part to prevent you from getting
away with it,?
II expected to get the money, and
if once got it on the street would
regard it as mine" answered Holland.
Witness further said that he thought
if he once got the money Davis would
make no demonstration on the street,
for his business would then become
public.
What business :" queried Mr..
Fellows.
Swindling business. -
Holland further said that he intended
to hold on to the bag. and would defend
himself according to the means used
against him, and he intended to defend
his property and his life at all hazards.
The defendant then stepped down.

The Iron and steel Industries,

10y ttAtSldpu W lhO D4bidANhsl
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The iron
and steel industries of the country
were discussed before the Ways and
Means Committee to-day by delega-
ton Of the American Iron and Steel
Association.
President Jones opened the proceed
ings with a brief address, protesting
against the present agitation Of the
tariff question, which, the Association
was assured, would be injurious to
the business interests of the cOun-
try. Mr.. Wharton's remarks in
behalf Of the steel-rail interest partook
largely Of the form Of replies to a cross
examination by Mr.. Hewitt, of New
York. Mr.. Hewitt inquired if the
southern people could not make their
own steel rails. Mr.. Wharton replied
that the ores down South were not
adapted to the cheap production of
Bessemer and basic steel. lie admitted,
however, that the South would ultimate
ly find suitable ores and make its own
rails. Mr.. Hewitt inquired why the
South should fear foreign competition,
to which Mr.. Wharton replied that the
industry had not so far developed in
the South as to admit Of competition.
lie declined positively to say that the
southern people would eventually be
able to compete with England in the
southern markets, declaring that any
such statement would be in the line Of
prophecy.
