Sir: / believe IL can be said that the smokers OF
cigars in this country expected that when Cuba
freed from the yoke of Spain the tariff
tobacco would be lowered or taken of altogether
the result Of which would he to enable the smokers
get cigars of better quality at a much lower
ccst The idea of the greatest good for tho great
est number" is right The proportion of the num-
Der OF growers OF tobacco for cigars I'm this
country to the number of smokers is innniteslmnl
Every one would like 10 smoke a better cigar than
he now does If he could afford II. Wnen / was a
boy my father would send me to the 10
him Spanish cigars which cost one cent each. They
quite good and contained HIyana tobacco
am curious 10 know what cigars Containing the
same tobacco cost now in the days of our high
tariff IL seems TO me that American smokers
have been paying out large sums OF money too
long that few growers OF inferior tobacco In this
country may be benefited. " ~
