The RObber Tobacco Tariff.
From the Baltimore Sun.


In. the tobacco trade, according to
the United States Tobacco sJournal,
this is what has happened: almost
a revolution has taken place in the
political attitude of the leaf trade
With but few exceptions the entire
trade is supporting Cleveland in the
hope of having the outrage of La Fol-
lette's Folly wiped out by a change in
the national administration. 1t was
different four years ago. Then the
trade was almost solid for Harrison.
ssThis year everything is the other
way with one exception, and the ex-
ception is the absence of all noise and
noisy demonstration. But the voting
will be done and almost solidly for
the Democratic candidates. Men who
never before cast Democratic vote
will do so this year in condemnation
of the two-dollar robber duty on for

The Latest Vessel to BE Launched from

The statement in Free Russia that a
Russian convict steamer, fitted with iron
cages for the Siberian exile trade, was be-

external appearances would lead any one
looking at her to put the vessel down as an
ordinary, respectable, possibly common

tons. she has what the experts in nauti-
cal matters would call n figurehead or

go very fast is provided with a twin screw,
not, however, of very much power. In the
upper deck the vessel is got up in some
thing like the manner of the ordinary class

nature of the craft is revealed.
"There in the lower deck and under the
lower deck the spacious accommodation is
all divided off into the cells. These cells,

for a large number of barred iron doors are
being provided for them. As described to
