thing like twenty millions Of pounds. It's
customs duty Is about 50 cents per pound
Tor filler and $50 fir wrapper. This seems
dear. but the customs duty on tobacco is
much more than the first price per pound.
Ii has been slyly limited that II the feel
ing for domestic tobacco continues as
It IS, this will not be taken out Of the
custom-house. for the native tobacco will
do as well. and be much cheaper
The cry that cigars may 80 up in price
may not be fulhned. If the States re-
double their Efforts to raise tobacco, and
II the makers gets promptly at work
upon it. cigars may 20 down instead Of
up II you can get good filler from Penn
sylvana. Ohio. Wisconsin. and Massachu-
sets. and good wrapper from Cinnecucut
and Illinois. why 1t looks as though
cigars would be lower than ever and bet
ter.
About the Illinois tobacco there Is one
peculiar thing. 1t has a wide range OF
excellence. only a little of it IS grown.
as II has never paid the farmers o. that
rich producing State to deal in anything
that went begging. But here both wrap
per and filler can be obtained in a most
excellent state.
New York State raises n very nice to-
bacco. II is principally done in the town
Of Corning, and there IS a quick native
demand for It. 1t has never been offered
on public market Vermont tobacco IS
the same way. Very good in quality. but
used up 40 quickly nearby that the deal
ers have had no chance 10 test IT.
Up GOBS TOBACCO.
Tobacco-leaf handlers say that there
are 10000 farmers actively engaged In
raising the tobacco-plant. and that $780,
200 ARE invested in the native leaf. Big
capitalists are buying 80 farm-lands and
starting farmers az the tobacco-croo. 1t
Is an easy and an interesting crop and
farmers declare the soil TO be ripe for II.
The direct result is that tobacco prices
have taken jump. ~ far as the tiller Of
the soil is concerned. Mortgages that have
stood for years are being raised. and the
price OF tobacco leaf has jumped 81 and 100
per cent. Extra Connecticut wrapper leaf
that brought Is cents per pound is now
over A. cents.
Tho lump I'm the native raising Of to-
hacco IS a surprise even TO men who have
been interested in tobacco for life, and
their fathers before them. They declare
IL ia the most important unforeseen
event that has happened TO native agri-
culture for a hundred years They are
tobaccO-kings all Of sudden. And this is
thing that will mark new era Of
prosperity for this country. as well as
make this century notable for one more
OF its many surprising things
No reference is made TO the great to-
disappointing States OF Virginia and
North Carolina since their product Is well

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual DIS
ease. but simply TO constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt

remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly 10y all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which It acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine artt

guese, was ready to report and would

Of the committee, the report of the
committee was deferred.
Rep. Bond gave notice of his inten-
ton to introduce an Act entitled, AN
Act to repeal an Act entitled, An Act

ing from prostitution approved Au
gust "a, 1860; also, AN Act to restrict

tations, together with other agricult-
ural industries in the Republic, for the
purpose of ascertaining the number of
laborers of different nationalities en-
ployed by them up to the present time,
both as contract laborers and other
wise; also, that the number of laborers

engaged in other mechanical pursuits,

people. There was no need of abrogat-
ing treaty or labor convention. The
Japanese never came here unless sent
for. The only way to cure the evil was
to cease sending for them.
Who would back up Hawaii if she
slapped Japan in the face?
Other speakers expressed their views.
some in poetry, some in prose. and still
others in silence.
w. L. Howard proposed that the sub
ject for the next meeting, to be held
in fortnight, be consideration of the
of the laborer remaining in
the same class under which he was
brought into the country. This, to-
gether with the suggestion that the dis
cussion be continuation of the matter
in hand, was left with the committee
and the House adjourned.

has put me in such false position re-
garding both this Government and the
Portuguese that, in justice to myself, /
cannot allow it to pass without cor
rection.
Your report represents me as saying
with regard to the Portuguese, that
they have been foisted upon this coun-
try by the Government, to its burning
shame. We want no such people here,
etc.
What / did say was that 1t was
burning shame that people should be
allowed to grow up in such ignorance,
and a disgrace to the countries where
such a state of things existed, and we
wanted no such condition of things In
this country, but wished to provide for
the suitable education of their children.
Hoping you will see fit to give space
for this correction. Yours truly,
E. c. BOND.
