Tax on Tobacco.
REM AUKS OF MR. J. YOST.
In the House on Monday last the inter
nal revenue part of the Mills bill was under
consideration. We quote from the pro
ceediugs. as reported in the Congressional
Itecord of that date:
Mr. Chairman. The Chair has recognized
the gentleman from Virginia [.Mr. Yost].
Mr. Yost. I move the following amend
ment.
The clerk read as follows:
In the lines 2 and 3, page 59. strike out the
work “chewing” and the words “smoking
tobacco,” and in line 5 insert alter the
word “leaf” the words “or manufactured:
so that it shall read:
“All taxes on manufactured tobacco and
snuff, all special taxes upon manufacturers
or dealers in said articles, and ail taxes
upon wholesale and retail dealers in leaf or
m inufact ured tobacco be, and are hereby
repealed.”
The Chairman. The Chair thinks that
the amendment is not an amendment to
the pending amendment.
Mr. Yost. It covers the same points and
also provides for a repeal of the tax on all
dealers in tobacco as well as the manufac
turers theieof.
The Chairman. The amendmet only re
Jates to cigarettes and cheroots.
Mr. Yost. This is intended to embrace
cigarettes and cheroots, and it does em-.
brace them, as it relates to all manufac
turers of and dealers in tobacco.
Mr. Wise. I have not had the oppor
tunity to examine the gentleman’s amend
ment,but I presumehi30bject is the same
as mine; that is, a repeal of the tobacco
tax.
Mr. Yost. Yes, that*is the object of my
amendment.
Mr. Wise. My object is to repeal the en
tire tobacco tax.
Mr. Yost. You do not state it then in
your amendment.
Mr. Wise. But that is the object of the
amendment.
The Chairman. The Chair will enter
tain the amendment of the gentleman
from Virginia [Mr. Yost] as an amend
ment to the amendment upon the principle
that the greater includes the less.
Mr. Yost. My colleague [Mr. Wise], in
offering his amendment, of course had in
view the same object which my amend
ment is designed to accomplish, and the
truth is the gentleman has made about the
same speech which I intended to make.
If, Mr. Chairman, the representatives
of Virgipia stood as solidly on every single
solitary item of the Mills bill as they stand
on the tobacco feature it would be a great
deal better for the State and for the people
who are directly interested in the produc
tion of very many of the articles which
that measure so disastrously affects. [Ap
plause.]
Tobacco is just as much a product of
the soil as corn or wheat or any other kind
of grain, and why it should be insisted
that you shall place such restrictions upon
an agricultural product I can not under
stand. It is a restriction not imposed
upon any other product of the soil. In
time of war it is true w'e needed the
money derived from this taxation. It
then became a matter of public necessity.
But that time has happily passed away,
and the greatest difficulty we now have to
contend with is how to get rid of our sur
plus revenues.
Here, as I said, is a strictly agricultural
product which, it seems to me, every con
sideration of right demands should he
placed upon a footing with other agricul
tural products, The burden imposed upon
it should be removed. It has an unjust,
inequitable discrimination which has al*
ready been too long tolerated and for the
continued imposition of which no reason
able excuse can be given.
So far as the bill affects manufactured
tobacco, and I refer now to the regular
bill pending, it retains the tax on the man
ufacture of cheroots, cigars, and cigarettes.
The rest of the tax is repealed. may
be all right so far as the interests of the
large manufacturing establishments are
involved. They doubtless want this re
striction. But, Mr. Chairman, it is not all
right so far as the small manufacturers in
our tobacco districts throughout the South
ern States are concerned.
Here are cigar makers carrying on little
establishments at many of the cross roads
-poor men, men who are dependent on
their own labor—who are forced to sell
their manufactured product on sixty and
ninety days' time, and yet the revenue tax
must be paid at once. It is not only un
fair to them to be required to pay for the
privilege of manufacturing, but it is a
grievous wrong to compel them to pay the
tax upon the product as soon as it is man
ufactured and yet have to wait two or
three months for their money. They are
not able to do it. Their capital is their
skill and labor. This they must employ to
the best advantage in order to gain a live
lihood at all. They must sell their product
and get a quick return for it or they must
retire from the business. To remove
practically all of the other restrictions
upon the manufacture of tobacco and re
tain the tax on cigars means the crushing
out of the individual cigar maker and a
concentration of the business in the hands
of large establishments.
I know, Mr. Chairman, that cigar makers
of file North—those who live in the large
cities—have petitioned Congress to retain
the tax on cigars. It may be to their best
interest that this should be done, hut it is
not to the interest of the cigar maker oi
the South, who owns his own little estab
lishment and wants to turn his time and
skill to the best account. His desire anc
the desire of the people I represent is that
the whole system of internal revenue, sc
far as it relates to tobacco, shall he wiped
out.
They want this odious supervision ol
the General Government abolished. Thej
want the privilege of raising tobacco anc
disposing of it as they may think best, anc
without having a Federal otlicer ncsin;
around their doors or the fear of technica
violation of law and consequent cost anc
trouble continually overshadowing them
This is a matter of simple justice to them
and I hope there will be no objection,
[Applause.]

Against Cleveland.
DEMOCRATIC BUSINESS MEN REFUSE TC
SUSTAIN IIIS FREE-TRADE CRUSADE.
[From tlie Troy, N. Y. Times, (Rep.)
In all parts of the loyal North solid bus
iness men who have heretofore marched
in the Democratic column are wheeling
into line for Harrison and Protection
under the tjta- s and Stripes, the glorious
flag of national and personal liberty.
The following are among the Demo
cratic business men of Troy who have de
clared against Cleveland and Free Trade :
Ex-Congressman J. M. Warren.
Ex-Mayor George B. Warren.
Ex-Mayor W. L. Van Alstyne.
Ex-Comptroller John D- Spicer.
James O’Neil.
Pierce Kane.
Stephen W. Barker.
O. F. Burtis.
Henry Eobdell.
John Flynn.
Gloversville is the centre of the glove
industry in America. The following
Democrats have declared for Haffipon and
Morton:
W. A. Lansing.
O. H. Bame.
W. A. Sears.
Morgan L. SLell.
Of the thirty five knitting-mill pro
prietors and firms at Cohoes all but two,
John Scott and W. J. Scott, have placed
their names on the roll of the Cohoes City
Central Protection Club, which is doing
excellent work for Harrison and Morton.
Among those whose names appear on the
roll of the club are the following life-long
Democrats :
Jonathan Hiller, proprietor ot the Anper
ipan Hosiery Mill.
Charles F- North, of the Anchor Ho
siery Mill.
Charles F. Doyle, of the Anchor Ho
siery Mill.
David Akin, of W. II. & D. Akin.
W. H. Akin, of W. H. & D. Akin.
David Fuld, of Fuld & Bocblowitz.
Herman Bochlowilp, of Fuld 4, Bock-:
lowitz.
Stephen W. Barker, a life long Demo
crat of this city, is at Wheeling W. Va.
A despatch from that city to the New
York Press says Mr. Barker has announced
his intention of voting for Harrison finc|
Mortqn, though heretofore he has been an
active Democrat. Tbe passage of the
Mills bill, he declares, would necessitate
the closing of his mill and make wool
growing a losing industry. Even at pres
ent manufacturers dare not pay a price
for wool which will induce the farmers to
sell. The only thing, in his opinion,
which wifi restore confidence is the defeat
of Cleveland.
Mr. Barker is well known in this city as
a solid business man. Mr. Barker’s con
nection with the Troy Press Company, of
which Hon. Edward Murphy, Jr., chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
is chairman, is not generally known. filhe
articles of incorporation of “The Troy
Press Company,” dated May 14,1884, and
filed in the Rensselaer County Clerk’s
Office, show that Stephen W. Barker is
one of the incorporators and a trustee of
that company.

All For Harrison.
A dispatch from Indianapolis, dated the
13th, states that a delegation of 1,200 rail
road workers visited Gen. Harrison in a
body, and assured him of their active and
earnest support. It reads :
“Over 1,200 railroad men marched out
to the residence of General Harrison to
night, after parading the principle streets
of the city behind a wagon bearing loco
motive headlights, and gave him hearty
assnrauce of their support. Among the
number were many men who participated
in the strike of 1877, which demoralised
newspapers have made ilia basis of various
falsehoods about the General’s attitude
toward workingmen, These old strikers
were conspicuously the most boisterously
enthusiastic persons in the throng, and
mingled with their hearty hurrahs for
Harrison were facetious allusions to the
Democratic falsehoods about the General’s
connection with the strike. The demon
stration was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic that has occurred since the
day of the nomination. The club was or
ganized only two nights ago, when 500
names were placed on the membership
rolls, and to-night before starting out to
the General’s residence the number was
increased to 1,200, causing a delay of over
an hour in the club’s arrival at the house.
The membership already represents over
one half the railroad men living in the
city, and the oll'icerssay that several hun
dred more names will be added to the rolls
before the end of the month. The organi
zation is, in itself, a refutation of the re
port circulated by Democratic newspapers
that Gen. Harrison is not popular with
the railroad men at his home.
It was 9 o’clock when the club arrived
at General Harrison’s residence. Several
hundred people had already gathered about
the place, and it was with much difficulty
that room could be made for the lantern
bearers within hearing distance of the
General’s door. When he appeared before
: the throng he was greeted by loud and pro
longed cheers. In behalf of the railroad
men A. II. Shaw, Indianapolis yardmastei
of the Bee Line, stepped forward and
addressed the General, expressing the
fidelity of the railroad men to the Republi
can leader and the cause of Protection.
After General Harrison’s response, ir
compliance with his invitation the
members of the club entered his house
1 shook hands with him, refreshed them
| selves with lemonade, lingered for a mo
meut in the parlors and then pressed oul
to make room for others. It was not un
til a very late hour that the end of this
! procession passed. inside the doors anc
i closed the demonstration of the night.

The purpose of a protective tariff is nc
to level down, but to level up; not to re
duce the wages of the American workmai
to the European level, but to elevate th
European level to the American.
Business drags this Presidential yea
because every manufacturer in the lan
feels that the stock of the rifle, the muzzi
of which was pointed at him in 1S61—’05
is now over his head, and a free trader i
at the other end of it.
The time will come when to say to i
man, “Sir, in 1888 you voted for a frei
trade policy,” will be considered an in
suit.
The free traders say; “Gh, dear gentle
men protectionists, we do not want frei
trade; we only want duties reduced. Yoi
do us injustice to call us free traders.
All we want is such a reduction as wil
prevent monopolies and trusts and railroac
corporations from gulping down the wealtl
produced hy the hard labor of the elevei
million producers in the land.”
The railroad dividends last year aver
aged 41 percent. The trusts have done nc
harm yet, and the people are already aftei
them, horse, foot and dragoons, with leg
islation to see that they do no .harm, and
as for the monopolies, the tariff has about
as much to do with their creation as it has
with last year’s rainfall.
“Look at brick and the busy brickma
kero. Brick are not protected,” said a
free trade workman, “and why can’t
other industries get along just as well
without tariff as the brick industry?” If
we had had free trade, there would have
been very little work for the now busy
brickmakers.
Philadelphia takes the cake for boss free
trade idiots among the workmen. It
Would pay some showman to hire a dozen,
cage them and show then out through the
West. They want to have our markets
filled with foreign products, so they can
buy things cheaper, forgettiug that when
workmen become tramps through want of
employment they cannot buy much of any
thing.
Over seven hundred million dollars’
worth of cheap pauper labor goods are an
nually imported into the United States.
“Make it fourteen hundred million dollars’
worth,” shout the free traders in Congress,
who do not kWW, half of them, whether
pig iron comes out of a oast iron pot or an
oven. “Down with protection,” is their
cry.

on me. About the 1st of April last i noticed
some red pimples like coming out ail over mv
body, but thought nothing of it until .some time
later on, when it began to look like spots of
mortar spotted on, and which came oil in
layers, accompanied with itching. I would
scratch every night uutil I was raw, then the
next night the scales, being formed meanwhile
were scratched off again. in vain did I consult
all the doctors In the country, but without aid
After giving up all hopes of recovery, i hap
pened to Bee an advertisement in the news
paper about your Cuticura Remedies and
purchased t hem from my druggist, aud obtained
almost immediate relief. I began to notice
that the scaly eruptions gradually dropped off'
and disappeared one by one, and have been
fully cured. I had the disease thirteen months
before 1 began taking the Cuticuka Remedies
and in four or live weeks was eutirelv cured
My disease was eczema and psoriasis, 'i recom

taken them, and thank me for the knowledge
