By this corrupt tencuient-house system the tovernment was defrauded of wore thun $250,000 of revenue annually, and tne manufac. turers themdolves lost control of the busiucess, In thia mnatlor Lhe interests of manufaclurers and clgar-makers were Identieal; hoth were suffering 1o the same oxtent from tho frandnlent competi- tion. The eysiem existed nowhere except in New York, omd, strange to say, (e "Governmont omicials would to.crate itatno other powt.

The education of tho childron was nezlected fu order tn nsy them In this nefarious tradic. From enrllest childhood they had to inhate the denaly vapors from tobacco, which brings theta to an unthely wrave, or, II they do not die, they will produce ~ & sickly, lnath. same raco, The teadly miasman usually prevalent in this room find n lodgiug in the cigars, and the wartles wmoking runuing the riak of getting the consumption or uthier discascs, Such infamous wholcsale inurler onght not to be nermitted for one imoment in a civilized country. and the Gove crament w.« iminediatoly respousivle for the dam- age that is being done. .
