Mr. Henderson IA. spoke IN favor OF
restoring the present internal tax on
tobacco and offered an amendment %
that effect The people believed that
this tax Was the last which should Be
taken from their shoulders They pre-
ferred that the tax should DO taken
from the necessities of the table
rather than that from the pipe,
the cigar and the whisky
Jug. The main question before
ths House was whether tho Treas
ury contained money enough 10 pay the
expenses Of the Government Demo
cratic applause AT such a time ne
did not believe in taking the tax from
tobacco. He did not propose, with the
soldiers of the Union 8 ing az the
doors OF the Capitol, 10 take tie tax OF
tobacco.
Mr.. Tucker offered and advocated an
amendment abolishing the tax on to-
b2cco.
Mr.. Dunnen (Alinn.) regretted that
the committee instead Of not further
reducing the tax on the necessaries OF
life had reduced the tax on tobacco
The use Of tobacco should be discour-
aged.
Mr. Kerr Ua.) favored the repeal OF
the tobacco tax. The tax on tobacco
and whisky land he used neitherl was
paid by pocr people. Under the system
OF monopoly in the production Of
whisky and tobacco the tax on those
articles had been more demoralizing 10
the people than any other tax imposed.
