Washington, Jan. 4.-The treasury de-
partment presents a table showing the
monetary system and the approximate

PRAYER OF CIGAR MAKERS.
The senate is being flooded with print
ed petitions from the cigar makers
throughout the country, asking for uni
form rate of duty of 35 cents on un-
stemmed leaf tobacco. They represent
that the duty as provided by the McKin-
ley act increased the cost OF manufactur-
ing cigars to such an extent as to wipe
out the margin of profit to manufacturers.
To raise the price Of cigars proved i'm
possible, as nickel and dime cigars, which
are smoked BY the masses, could not be
advanced to and II cents respectively.
The impossibility therefore of increasing
the cost of cigars to the consumer COM
PEELED the manufacturers to cut down the
wages of cigar makers and furnish an in
ferior quality to the public. This, they
claim, was the only way in which manu-
facturers could make up for the increased
rate of duty.
