We have been all through with that discussion. and I supposed that matter was entirely understood by the Senate. This duty leaves about an even competition between the growers of seedleaf tobacco in this country and Asiatic tobacco. Thirtyfive cents is a fair duty upon Havana tobacco unquestionably. Large numbers of firms have engaged in this country in the manufacture of cigars. importing their tobacco from Cuba. some part of which I have no doubt is wrapper tobacco. Therefore it would not be fair to interfere with that industry in this country. We have not desired to interfere with it.
