THE IMPORT DUTY on LEAF.
Tobacco Manufacturers AK that the
Tnrlf Be Kepraled

Tobacco Manufacturers Ask that the
Tarinf Be Repealed
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 23.-The
sessions Of the full Democratic mem
bership Of the Ways and Means Commit
tee were suspended to-day I'm order to
give several Of the sub-cOmmittees op-
portunity to revise some Of the schedules
which had been ordered by the main COM
mittee TO be altered. Several hundred
petitions to-day inundated the committee
from tobacco manufacturers of the United
States asking that the Mckinley tariff
import duty Of 81 per pound on leaf to-
bacco suitable for wrappers, be repealed,
and a duty Of thirty-fye cents per pound
be imposed on all tobacco. The memo
rial, in part. says:
The 81 duty on leaf tobacco for wrap
pers, imposed for the first time in the
tariff history Of the United States by the
sO-called Mckinley act of 1890. has IN
creased the expense of manufacturing a
thousand cigars by s.. The cigars
smoked by the masses are retaied either
at five cents or ten cents apiece. on
these prices, which have become a cur
rent custom since the establishment If
a domestic cigar industry, the consumer
will not stand any raise. You can readily
perceive the Inconvenience which would
be caused TO the consumer by charging
six cents for a nickel or eleven cents FOR
dime cigar. an Inconvenience TO which
even the hardest smoker would not sub
NIT. But the manufacturer cannot bear
himself the increased expense Of 50 on a
thousand cigars. as it would wipe out
not only his profit. but also cause him
an actual loss on certain grades and
either drive him into bankruptcy or out
of business. Most Of them have, there
fore, been compelled, in order TO make
both ends meet, TO cut down the cigar
makers wages and TO deteriorate the
quality Of the product Consequently the
- duty has done great harm to the wage
earners. and is daily still more impover-
ishing them, and it is also doing injury
TO the millions OF consumers, who have
10 pay the old price for a vastly inferior
article.

In 1855 the manufacturers entered into
certain agreements with the trade unions.
These agreements became irksome 10
the manufacturers. They asked repeated

have held them strictly 10 the original
agreements The ultimatum just issued
by the manufacturers is their response.
