CIGARMAKERS' PROTEST.
They Object TO the Tobacco Sched-
ule in the Tariff Bill.

the Cigarmakers' International Union ac-
companied by I. f. Tracy, presented n
protest to the Ways and Means Committee
yesterday ON behalf OF their organization
1t is against the tobacco schedule of the
bill.
They say the proposed schedule in the
bill, instead OF protecting the industry in
the United States, will have one of two
effects-it will either destroy the industry
in the United States in the interest of
foreign manufacturers, or will reduce the
wages OF those engaged in making cigars TO
meet the increased cost of raw material
This Government cannot afford" con
tinues the protest, with due regard for the.
future safety of our republican institu-
tons, in view of the above facts, TO need
lessly aud ruthlessly pursue n policy that
Will add one single man to the alarmingly
increasing army OF unemployed citizens
Permit us TO say III conclusion that we
have yet to learn of single instance
i'll which anyone connected with the gar
industry, except the grower of the leaf, and
who was not benefited by previous similar
legislation, that is not dissatisfied and
greatly alarmed by the proposition to in
crease the duty on raw material of filler
and wrapper for cigar-ma king purposes"
