The New Biu similar In Most Re-
spccts 20 That OF Last Year.
Berlin. Feb. 2l.-Count Won Pasadow-
sky. secretary Of the imperial treasury.
introduced the new tobacco tax bill IN the
Reichstag to-day. The bill is similar ia
most respects to the one laid before the
deputies last year. The principal alter
alton is the reduction Of the estimated
revenue by about 100000 marks. The
greater part of the revenue under the new
bDl would be raised by import duties on
foreign tobacco.
The fate of the bill Is supposed to rest
with the clericals. who on principle op-
pose measures likely to render the inn
perial government less dependent upon the
individual states.
To-day Deputy Mueller. clerical deputy
from Fulda, spoke for that party. He
carefully Sustained from defining the
clerical attitude to the bin and advocated
its reference to a special committee.
The social democrats, radicals and anti
Sen-ites attacked the bill on the ground
that IL threatened thousands of German
tobacco workers with idleness and wdnt
In his speech for the tobacco tax bill
Count Won Posadowski said that the
Reichstag, having accepted the army bills
must provide means TO carry them into
effect. The tax on tobacco was the only
practicable tax. The assertion that the
bill, if enacted, would involve the dis
missal of thousands of workingmen was
groundless, and was made only for denla-
gogical purposes. The government In
sisted upon the general lines of the bill,
but was willing to discuss the details
Numerous petitions against the bin have
been sent to the Reichstag. The number
of signatures is estimated at a. million.
