WASHINGTON, D. G., April "a
striking effect OF business agitation ut
tending any tariff or revenue discussion
is seen in connection with the proposed
removal Of the tobacco tax. AS soon rs
the removal Of this tax was considered
at all probable manufacturers of tobacco
begun 10 reduce their orders for reve-
nue. stamps, and about the time the com.
mittee was expected to report bill
their orders almost ceased, Now ihat it
is believed that the tax will remain at
four cents per pound, orders for stamps
arc pouring in. Whatever the actual re-
port Of the committee may be with refer
ence to the tobacco tax there will be a
strong fight made on the floor for the
total abolition OF the tax. Tie Southern
members, without regard to party, stand
pledged to free tobacco, und there will
bea bill introduced to command large
following elsewhere.
