THE TAX
The Wste7n Tobacco journal, with whom
We are ia accord on this subject, says.
at Is apparent that the trade of Viz
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee
especially, are beginning 10 canvass III
prospects Of abolition OF the tobacco Ia.
nj the coming session of Congress. Will
II Is possible that the subject may COM
I'D for consideration, we doubt II any
thing will be done definitely until the Fiji
ty-frst Congress comcsin. and even then
as intimaied In the previous issue, condi
lions may exist which will not make !
IS imperatiyely necessary to conside
how 10 dispose OF the surplus as how 4
get surplus enough to dispose Of. II ex
pensive coast defences, u large navy, th'
Blair educational bill and other expen
sive schemes are pushed by the party com
ing into power, there may not be any sbo
lition; possibly reduction TO nomlns
tax. There will be forces at work tina
will give this reduction idea goot
standing. as all the large manufacturer
rather favor 1t, owing 10 the perpetua
ton OF the package system, and, IL
fact, because 1t will give them an ad
vantage that they are rather dubious
OF holding 10 case the tax Is abol
.shed. They fear disruption of present
methods and sysvms, and expect an indis
criminate competition that will make Il
more difficult and less profitable TO carry
on the big industries that are now esiab
lisbed, and IL need not be denied thai
their wishes and labors will have consid
cradle influence Still, II the popular
voice Is needed. the tax will be abolished
II is certain that planters will be relieved
Of all restrictions, and also that the bond:
Of manufacturers will be nominal as com
pared with present exactions.
But, as we have said above, Ii Is hardly
likely that this subject will have the
serious consideration OF Congress until
the next Congress assemblies this Decem
Der year.
