vided in Committee Of the Whole and as

forms Of tobacco. This led to a long
discussion.
Senator Martin of Virginia was the
first to speak in opposition. He said the
effect Of il would be to increase the tax
on manufactured tobacco SO 1-3 per cent
and to increase the tax on cigars greatly.
He said Ii would produce an added reVe-
nue. of about $4,000, 600. but he objected
TO It on behalf Of the producers and
consumers Of his own State, as he said
they, not the manufacturers, would have
to stand the increased tax
Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
