He argued that the proposed re duction would not benent the consumer of tobacco, it being retailed in very small parcels, the cost oi one ot which to the manufacturer would be reduced thereby only to the extent of a certain fraction of one cent, and the consumer would be, charged the same price as now. so far as the rate of tax fixes it.

He objects par ticularly to the' proposed interchangeable relation between line and staff.
