Tobacco Men Mad,

The Dingley lay has caused panic
among importers Of tobacco, who de-
clare that one short paragraph in the
new l&w means q loss to them OF
thousands of dollars every year. The
paragraph is 9 part of section 80 OF the
set, which conpals importers to pay
duty on tobacco at the weight 1t goes
into the bonded warehouse. This
takes from the tobacco men q priviI-
ege that has for many years been &C.
corded to them by the tariff laws.
Under the Wilson act and previous
laws, importers have had their tobac-
co reweighed at the time Of its with
draWel from bond warehouses and
one weights duties were collected.
The weights Of tobacco is greatly re.
duced during the bonded period by
evaporation. When tobacco arrived
from long voyage it is frequently
insuficiently cured and has absorbed
s large percentage of moisture. This
moisture evaporates in the warehouse.
Experts estimate that the importers
save SIS to $40 bale on Sumatra, and
sometimes as high as SO a bale on
Havana leaf by paying on the dried
out tobacco. Importers will now gain
nothing by delay, but must pay du-
ties at $1.S5 per pound OF the weight
or tobacco at the time of its arrival.
They estimate that the loss - import
4rs in New York alone will be $780,
600 q wear
