was n heavy loser last season, but this
season has more than rccouped his losses.

fortunate ones. he Is hard worker, a
close student OF horses. and he has an un-
usually valuable turf connection. David
Gideon and his partner. John Daily, are
among the heaviest betters In the ring.
Mr. Gideon Is not as impulsive as Mr..
Daly and he bets more carefully.

Mr.. Silas Shelburne. OF the nrm OF
Shelburne e. Scott, proprietors OF shell
burne's warehouse, answered the DIS
patchs queries as follows:
AN increase I'm the tax on manufac>
tured tobacco would be injurious TO the
tobacco interest, as IL would decrease
consumption to some extent. besides II
would have n tendency to drive out the
small manufacturers with limited means,
who already find II difficult to raise funds
TO pay the present tax: this would lessen
competition on the raw material ana
throw the trade into the hands OF few
large manufacturers. An increase would
give us for a short time an active market,
az the manufacturers and jobbers would
be inclined TO increase their stocks before
the tax went into effect but steady
market Is much more satisfactory, and
we would rather not have the increase of
the tax. We feel that this industry Is
already heavily taxed and hope that Con-
gress will look TO some other source TO
raise more revenue"

THE FARMING INTERESTS.

"In matters of taxation, the farming
population should be more kindly con-
sidered, and 1t is fact beyond dispute
that a tax on incomes and legacies would
affect this element but very little.
IAN increase in the tobacco tax may
necessitate a change in the present laws
on packages of some kinds of manu-
factured tobacco. but this will regulate
