THE TOBACCO TAX.
Arguments For and Against Its Removal
Reasons Given for the Failure Of the
Present System Protect

WASHINGTON, January There wert
but four members of the Committee on Way,
and Means present this morning, when F
A. Schroeder, of New York, began to addres.
the Committee on Tobacco. He advocated Q
uniform rate of duty on leaf tobacco of 81
cents a pound-exactly what it was prior to
1888. He opposed the proposition to increase
the duty on wrapper and filler tobacco. II
the duty on wrapper leaf were
increased, the American manufacturer
would reduce the quality and
cost of the hllef, and the wages of the cigar.
makers would be reduced. He cited statistics
to prove that the importation of Sumatra to-
bacco had not injured the home product. The
committee would be asked to largely increase
the duty on tobacco. as compared with the un-
stemmed article, and there was some Justice IN
this request. But the duty should not be fixed
above 4S or 81 cents per pound, or it would be
]. S Eanduser, of Elmira, N. Y, said that
everybody realized that something must be
done to help the American farmer. In times
past they had profit in raising leaf tobacco.
Now that industry was threatened. To-day
there is no longer demand for American
grown wrapper tobacco. 1t had been replaced
by the Sumatra wrapper, pleasing to the eye,
but inferior in flavor.
James Ertheiler, represented the New York
Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade. He said that the
board wanted the internal tax removed. The
system. he said, should be completely wiped
out For 20 years sellers of tobacco had been
prevented from selling to whom they pleased
because tobacco could not be sold to any person
who did not have license.
Frank Diffenderfer wanted a prohibitory
duty on foreign wrappers. MIR. H. l.. Men,
derich, OF the Baltimore Tobacco Board of
Trade, said those he represented wanted the
internal revenue laws repealed They did not
want the tax reduced. George NJ. Trader, of
Atlanta, Ga, and Danvi!le. Va, also urged the
wipng out of the internal revenue system, and
wanted it done quickly.
Mr.. Moses Crone, manufacturer of Cincin-
natl. argued that the internal revenue system
should be retained. Mr. Hopkins, represent
ing the manufacturers of Detroit, also wanted
the system retained.
Robert Stewart. Secretary of the Baltimore
Tobacco Board of Trade, urged the total aboli-
tion of the system.

About Pomegranates

Some time ago Mr.. W. Compton Stog-
don, of Narcoosee, Osceola Co., asked
through our columns for some informa-
tion on pomegranates. A subscriber an
swers his questions as follows:
Editor Florida AgricuIturiSt
Pomegranates will grow we'll in almost
any kind of soil, but they require con-
siderable water, and will not do we'll I'M
less they have it. They do we'll in either
sandy or clay land. Any good fertilizer
can be used. They should be worked
we'll and in the same manner as other
trees. But they must have water, or
frequent applications of Stops and soap
suds, and in time if suds are freely used
will furnish all the fertility required and
prevent die back.
l do not think stable, hen house or COW
pen manure at all good for pOmegran-

Home Market.

While so many orange growers are
clamoring for home market is it not
we'll to ask the question would it system
ize the marketing, or reduce the expense
of getting our fruit to the consumer?
If all the 100000 people of the
United States were to come to Florida
every winter to eat our oranges, we would
have home market sure enough, but
our market is "a thousand miles away"
simply because the people who eat our
fruit are there-and the man or the Or
ganiZatiOn who can get our fruit to the
consumer with least eXpense-and in best
condition-will come the nearest to solv-
ing the marketing problem-will it be &C
complished by buyers coming to the
grove?
A little over a month ago one of these
buyers told me he had just received re-
turns for carlOad-which he had bought
and shipped to market-whlch Melted
him one dollar box. The poor grower
from whom he bought the oranges real
lied from 40 to so cents per box. In less
than a quarter of an hour afterward [
heard that same man, with his tongue
hung in the middle, talking with one who
had fruit to sell, and trying to show him
that the only way in which the grower
could get any thingfor his fruit waste sell
to him, because he stood between the
grower and loss Yes, he did-and he put
the growers loss into his own pocket.
Still they clamor for home market.
Who pays the expenses of 1000 ormore
men to come to Florida to buy our fruit
at the grove? Do you suppose these phil
anthropic buyers work hard all summerto
get money to come to Florida and spend
the winter for the purpose of standing
between tie grower and loss? Did it ever
occur to you that the grower had to pay
these expenses from his crop? The buyer
makes it from the oranges, or he would
not come. 1t costs just as much for them
here as it would for the hard worked
grower to go North for a vacation
And yet the clamor is for the buyers to
come here and take twO-thirds of the pro-
ceeds of our fruit-and one or two of the
fellows who holler the loudest, and have
a great deal to say about the market "a
thousand miles away" seem to think
they ought to have patent on the idea.
