a re THE CIGAR TRADE. Indiguation Meeting of Cigar Mfan- ufacturers. Proceedings, at the Astor House Yosterday—Pro- tests Against a Reduction of Import Duty on Cigars—The Resolutions— Singular Developments. ‘The cigar manufacturers of this city and vicinity held meating yesterday afternoon at the Astor House, in parsuance of the call issued by the prest- dent, Mr. D, Hirsen, and the secretary, Mr. John Stratton, of the Cigar Manufacturers’ Association. ‘Tho meeting was called to order about two o'clock by Mr, Hirsch, who nominated Mr. George W. Helme, of the firm of Appleby & Helme, for chairman, which was adopted. Mr. Alvan Woodman was ap- Pointed secretary. On motion of Mr. F. A, Schroder @ committee on resolutions was named by the chair, consisting of Messrs. F. A. Schroder, D. Hirsch and A. Spingard, who, alter a short absence, re- ported the following preagnble and resolutions:— wi the Ve lon of tt snmmrirerel send nen of noe ing ‘the change made in the tariif on olgara by the oed into the Internal Revenue biil, section iz, :—“Provided that from and after the passage Cigars imported from foreign ports shall pay ® of 42 50 per ib. aud twenty-five per cent ad valorem,” and in gold, rendering the taritt rates of three dol- lara per Ib. and tity per cent ad vulorem a lower impart duty a to tect interests the pauerine ier te, eaae nea cigars ; therefore be it rhat we do, under the present condition of our ved, 11 pose Sipsmatadoes io aguinn ioe ateran of tear industry ; that wi remon- Hone is more fied aud relladle, Resolved, That we do unitediy appeal to all parties in into- End partial legislation au in sotended inthe proposition 1 re- duce the tariff on cigara, This report having been read Mr. Jams Gat- LAGHER, of New Haven, Conn., rose and said that the resolutions were very piain and satisfactory as far as they went; but they did not clearly state the relations of the present tariff on imported cigars ‘With the internal revenue laws. Before the passage of the present Internal Revenue law the import duty on cigars was three dollars per pound and fifty per cent ad valorem, and they believed this to be still the law to-day. When the last Ioter- nal Revenue law was up in the House of Representa- tivea some member in the interest of the importers slipped in an amendment of the tariff, vo the eighty- seventh section, @ circumstance and custom never known in the previous Long at! Congress, That the tariff should be changed by an amendment to the Internal Revenue act, astonished a goodly por- tion of the members of Congress themselves. i ‘while all the other sections of the bill were ‘adopted by & two-thirds majority, and some even aimost unanimously, this eignty-seventh section, amenain, thetarif, reducing the import duty on cigars to $2 Es per pound and twenty-tive per cent ad valorem, re- ‘ceived a tie vote—6s to 66—and was only passed by ‘the casting vote of we Speaker. He, the speaker, stated this to suow that this clause was smuggled into the law clandestiuely, and, as he believed, dis- honestly. ‘The National ‘tobacco Association was: slready.moving in the matter of having this clause repealed. But all at once they were again treated to ‘a nice, cold shower.bavh in the proposition of having the auty reduced to two doilars per pound. ‘They, tae manufacturers, knew nothing of the pro- tion, while the House Committee of Ways and leans Were sharpening their knives to whittle down the di still more, until the press published the fact. He wished the committee to amend their reso- lutions to this effect: He wanted the war to be carried into Congress, and they should ask not only ‘that the duty be not reduced, bus that the clause re- ferred to be repealed aud the duty fixed at the former rate; for ie believed that the amendment of the Internal Revenue law, 10 60 far as 1t aifects the tariff, was nolaw atall. Mr. pert dog then at length referred to the increase in the price of all tne neces- saries of life, compelling the workingmen to charge more for their labor; tuat the action of the Ways Qnd Means Committee was not only a deathblow to the manufacturers of cigars, but aigo to the vobdceo growers in Connecticut, Ulio, Keutucky and other States; that ali other trades were not harassed one- tenth part as’ much as the tobacco trade; thas the shiiting course 0! Congress had been such that they kKuew not one day what tue law would be the next, ana for this reason trey could make no engage- ments 10 advance. They had started to educate Congress in tuis matter. Yet, while some memoers Eres good scholars, @ majority were too stupid to . On the 23d of Feoruary next the National Tobacco Association wouid have & great demonstra- tion in this city to prove to Congress that they were hot willing to submit to such au oppressive course. Many manufacturers were harassed out of exist- ence, since Congress played with them as the cat With the mouse, and now it was proposed to devour them altogether. Mr. LORIN PALMER moved to amend the report as suggested by Mr. Gallagher, and the resolutions Shed carried unanimously in the shape as given above, Mr. D. Hirscu stated that the Committee of Ways ‘and Means of the House seem to believe that by re- ducing the duty on imported cigara they could pre- Vent smuggling. while the facts proved tnat there Was no more smuggling now than when the duty Was only thirty per cent ad valurem. The average Price now paid the workmen for making cigars was eighteen dollars per thousand; the packing. assort- ‘ing, Deh eae bundiing and paperiug of the boxes, costs seven dollars, bri the average cost of the lavor alowe of making cigars up to twenty-five dol- lars, which 1s the average price of Havana on board ship, ready ior export, at vans. Imported vobacco pays thirty'five cents gold duty per pound more than the price of the tobacco at Havana; this was 125 per cent duty vi the cost of manufacturing it here. Hundreds of manufacturers, when tiguriug up last New Year, Tound themselves losers, and went out of business; for the more cigars they sold the more money they lost, and all that on account of the action of Con- He moved that on Thursday evening next a mass meeting be held, mviting all employers and employés to join in the demonstration, which was adopted, and the Committee on Resolutions were directed vo make the necesyary preparations, On motion of Mr. F. A. Schroaer a committee on statistics was appointed, on wuich the chair named the mover and Messrs. Joseph Hali aud Louis Asch. The chair stated that although he was not identitied with the high protective policy of the government, yet 80 long a4 that remained the policy of the country, affecting the price of all the necessaries of life to the peopie, he wished that the cigar trade should not be ie an exception to the prevailing rule, otherwise the manulacturers could not pay living prices to the workmen and compete with the imported article. The meeting then aujournea. On ea and Friday last a committee, consist- ivg of Mr. William E. Lawrence, President of the National Tobacco Association; Mr. Lorin Paimer, of the firm of Palmer & Scovilie, and Mr. John Straiton, of the firm of Straiton, Schmitt & Storm, all of this city, had interviews at Washington with the Com- mittee of Ways and Means of the House, protesting against the proposed reduction of duty on cigars. They were weil received, but the future action of the committee Is still m doubt, THE LATE ERIE, STRIKE. Letters trom Jay Gould—The Strikers Will Not be Reinstated—A Lesson to the Other Employes—A New Scheme for Promoting Meritorious Employes. As was stated 1 the HeraLp on Thursday, a reso- Jation was adopted by the Common Council or Jer- Bey City urging the president and directors of the Erie Railway to reinstate the men out on strike, and the City Clerk, Mr. Scott, was directed to forward a copy of the resolution to Jay Gould. The following reply disposes of the question and verifies all that has been stated with regard to the position of Messrs. Gould, Fisk and Rucker on the question:— PRESIDENT'S OFFIOR, ERIE RAlL.Way Company, New York, Jan. 29, 1870, Joun E. Scort, Esq., City Clerk, Jeraey City, N.

ZWEI GLASS LAGER! The Trouble Among the Newark ‘Brewers and Dealers—“Swindling” Uxtraordinary— The Veroin Deutscher Wirthe. Some four weeks ago the beer brewers of Newark, N. J., neld @ meeting, at which the action of one of the most extensive firms in that city, in reducing the price of beer from ten dollars to eight dollars per barrel, was tne subject of severe denunciation, and @ resolution was passed requiring all the other brewers to Keep the price at nine dollars, the stand- ard price among all, with one or two excep- tions, Very soon after the saloon keepers, to the number of about 200, held a meeting, and, strange to relate, almost to a man supported the action of those brewers who resolved to keep the price at nine dollars, and, per contra, bitterly de- nounced those brewers in favor of selling at eight dollars. The elucidation of this seeming inconsist- ency is accounted for in this wise:—It would be nat- uraliy expected by tne beer-drinking public that if the saloon keepers obtained a reduction of one dol- lar im the price per barrel, they, the consumers, ought to be sold a giass for four cents. Now, in a barrel of beer, there is from wo , or 660 glasses—say, On an average, 50). At five cents @ glass @ barrel of beer costing nine dollars would realize tyenty-fve dollars. Change the figures to elgnt dollars a barrel and four cents a giass and the resuit would be only twenty dollars— a clear loss to the dealer of four dollars. Hence their desire for high tariff. A few days since a brewer entered a saloon in Harrison street, Newark, for the purpose of coliect- ing a bill. There were present half a dozen saloon keepers, and the brewer, in an offhand manyer, sang out, “Come along, ali take adrink.’’ Instead of accepting, however, the invived persons incerpo- lated almost in one breath, “No, we won't drink witn you or any Other swindler who sells beer for eight dollars.’ They were nine dollar men. ie small brewers declare it costs them $8 40 per barrel to turn out the beer, while the extensive brewers, who purchase on cash, say it costs them 37 80. The brewers pay ® government tax of one dollar on every barrel, which is supposed to contain thirty-one gallons, but the saloon keepers aver thut the average number of gallons they receive in a barrel ig only twenty-seven, At arecent meeting of. the newly organized asso- clation of lager beer saloon keepeis of Newark, known as tne “Verein Deutcher Wirthe,” a code of bylaws, rules and regulations gov- erning the action of the “Verlen” was adopted. The chief features of the code are a6 follows:—The objects of the association are mutual protection and advancement of business terests; that no imeuiber shall sell beer under the rice agreed upon by the association, the price to ve Tegulated from time to time by a committee ap- Ppolated for that, purpose, according to tae whol ie price; that no member shail purchase beer irom a brewer charging more than the price agreed upon by. the conlerence committee of brewers and dealers; that it shall be the duty of members to re- port those violating the rules; thatthe Legislature shall be petitioned to pass a law regulating tue stan- dard of measurement, so that there wil! be a uniform scaie; that every ber pledges himself not to purchase beer from a brewer dealing with a saioon keeper who sells at less than the regulation price. in the meantime the consumers are beginning to “think that a decrease in the price per giass would not be at all out of place, or at ail events the saioon- ists it with @ considerable deal of propriety, rescind the order to their barmen to ‘hold ‘im hand down; make more bubbies.” In other words, they might give more beer and loss froth, ; FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wain fa Sarurpay, Jan. 20—6P, M. The extreme inolemency of the weather to-day cheoked the usual large attendance at the Stock Ex- change, and the absence of the buyers made STOQOKS DULL AND HEAVY. Prices did not show the latter quality until atter the boards, however, and {¢ was only in the final transactions in the Long Room, which was kept open on account of the storm, thatthe market showed More than a trivial decline. The firmest on the list Were the Vanderbilt securities which maintained themselves until near the close, when they yielded a fraction, and Reading, which was steady all day, Lake Shore was stubborn in its resistance to the decline, but fell about a half per cent. Northwest was barely steady and St. Paul weak, particularly for the preferred stock, the ap- prehension existing at the close of business that the treasurer would encounter some difficulty in ob- taining the means to pay the lately declared divi- aends, Although it waa the day for closing the transfer books the stock was not quoted ex dividend after ten o'clock, as usual in such cases, Erie was active on the announcement by cable that the Lon- don stockholders hat compictea the “stamping” process, equivalent to registration in our Stock Ex- change, by which they intend to prevent the sale of additional issues in the English market. The price ran upto 25 butroacted eventually to 24%. New Jersey Central was weak and declined to 96%, but rallied to 963, later in the day, Hannibal and St. Joseph and Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Centrat were active, the former on the report of the com- pany, which the street does not know how to in- terpret, and hence bought the stock as it Went up and sold it again as it went down. There was considerable activity lUkewise in tue miscel- Janeous shares, except Pacific Mall, which was steady. Western Union declined to 35 on the re- Ported action of Congress in favor of a postal tele graph system. Mariposa preferred advanced to 1934 and Boston Water Power to 17%. ROCK ISLAND AGAIN. The Stock Exchange met in executive session this forenoon and was addressed py the Governing Com- mittee in support of their recent action in ordering the telegraph company to cease quoting Rock Island street quotations. After @ brief debate the Stock Exchange withdrew*their request of yesterday, and, by a very large majority, endorsed tne action of the committee. Rock Island was dealt in at the National Board and in the doorway thereof, tue crowa stil being numerous. The price rose to 113%.

GOLD STRONG. The gold market was extremely dull, the price fluctuating between 1213s and 12134, the former price prevailing upon the report that the Secretary of the Treasury would be under the necessity of increasing his gold sales next month. Late in the aflernoon gold became active and closet strong at 121% upon the receipt of a telegram from Washing- ton announcing it aa the opinion of competent per- sons that there would be no alteration m the pro- gramme, which would be the same for February as 1t has been for January. As Monday is the last day of the month it 1s thought Secretary Boutwell will make known his intentions on Sunday.evening to the newspaper correspondents in Washington.

To THE Eprtok OF THR HERALD: — No great work of the future can be regarded as more certain of ultimate accomplishment than the construction of @ ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific across the “narrow lands’ of the Ameri- can Continent. The commerce of the present greatly needs such @ canal, while that of the immediate future will absolutely demand it. The action which the Presideut has taken, with Jongresstonal con- currence, wisely pledges the United States to at least the same position of practical aid and protection for this great enterprise that was assumed by the Erh- peror of the French towards that which pierces the Isthmus of Suez and shortens the Huropean con- nection with the Ortent, but the considerations, com- mercial, economical or political, which could affect any one Power in Europe with reference to the Egyp- Wan transit, are hardly to be compared with those which demand that the United States, as the great protecting power of the New World, should assume and retain @ controlling and directing agency in the construction and management of that which is des- tined to be the most important o! all the great com- mercial channels of the world. It may safely be taken for granted that the Presi- dent and Congress do not start out with narrow pre- judices in favor of amy pacticuiar route, but that their efforts will be directed and the pubic money judiciously expended in ascertaining the best, and, considering all things, the most available of tne several routes which may be proposed or which ex+ Plorations may develop, and that they will not lose sight of the especial merests of the United States. itis, indeed, confidently expected that the President, In requesting Congress to provide more liberally for the surveying expedition whicn ts now about to start, WHI present the a1 tin its broadest uspect. The queation ts not “will this or that line answer ?” but “which is the best for our interests?’ Only on pe i egateags Wili the people be willing to expena a doliar, An attempt to prove the value of @ ship canal across the Atnerican isthmus would be an insuls to the intelligence of any one who has ever seen @ map of the world or heard of the «passage round tue Horn,” though It ia qnite possible that such @ canal might be of more or jess advantage to the Uuited ‘States at one point than another. ‘The project Of such # canal has é! scientific attention and investigation from the time of the dis- covery of America. Hernando Cortez urged such an enterprise upon the attention of Cnarles V. from 1620 vo the time of his death, aud in our own day Baron Humboldt tollowed in his footstep, both favoring the same line over the Istimus of Lehuantepec, Under & Spanish viceroy in 1774 sarveys were made mer with reference to a hallow canal in with the Coatzacoaico river. Im ail no less than twenty-six routes have been or surveyed, but with such results that at presemt We may possl- ba Ne able to restricts our examination to the oe wi seem most feasible—to wit, Darien, Nicaragua, Honduras and Tehuantepec, ‘The map itselt nasuri twat the canal | can best be made at the narrowest pomt of the iti mus; but repeated surveys have diapelied this idea, at the same time that tNey have filled the public maind with unnecessarily exaggerated notions Of (be diillculty of tue work, whilea careful consideration hag all but convinced the minds of thinking men that vhe best point tor the inserests of the United States is not shat which lies furthest from our own ports aud the necessities of our own commerce. ‘The shortest tine at Darien ts utterly tmpractioa- ble, om account of the height of the mountains, and toe other lines, as that of the Atrato, are of various lengths, That of Panama 18 but forty-one miles, but presents greater engineering digculcies; that of Nicaragua is, 10 a straigut line, ninety-three miles, and, though in reality longer, has the advantage of @ large navigable ake in tue invericr;thatof ‘Tehuan- tepec 1s 136 miles, with the advantage o! the navigable waters of the Coatzacoaico river. This latter, Most northerly of all, would appear at first sight che moat diMouit, yet for 300 years it has received we approvation of the most eminent explorers aud scientific men, from Cortez to Humboidt. In 1814 the Spanish government, after exploring other routes determined on the construction of # canal at Tehuantepec, but political events rendered the exe- cution oT tae O lmpossibie. Spain having lost control of the isthmus the republic of Mexico in ite turn took up the enterprise, and tn 1842 Don José Garay received a liberal concession for the proposed work. The eres made by Sefor Gaetano Moro, 41n pursuance of the Garay grant, published in 184, munutely and satisfactorily demonstrated the tact nat a canal could be cut at Teheantepec at & smaller cost than at any other point, and the subsequent aurvexe for railway purposes have more than con- irmed the correctness of Senor Moro’s calculations. if now we examine she map we shall Qnd that the northern entrance of a canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec would be in the Gulf of Mexico, a sea which inust forever continue under the political and commercial coptro! of the United States. In ume of War it would be a mare clausum, subject to exclu- sive American dictation. In time of peace the ports of the Atlantic and Guif would be from 1,600 to 4,000 ilies, according to this position, nearer to all Pacific ports north of Tehuantepec than by way of Darien, while even European ports, like Liverpooi and Brest, Would be more than 1,200 miles nearer vo either San Francisco or the Orient. The importance of these considerations can hardly be over estimated, viewed Trom ab Aluerican standpoint. Tne feasitiity of the route having been demon- strated by careiul surveys and deciared by the most respectavie authority, it is only to be added that the Tequisite lockage 1s confined to a small ‘tion of the route, we append a comparative tag» show- ing the relative diMcuities in this reape# of the Tenuantepec and sunary great works alread; existen ce: by ee ‘Number of Locks, Anon & Deacont. in Feats London to Liverpool. 1,439 185, Liverpool and Leeds. ‘01 [Not given Caledonian ot P) ORNTRA!

Now, the doubt whether one cent or two leaves greater or leas profit in the hands of the lessees of ‘the Union Ferry Company | ai quite sure distarps very few except those who cross theriver. What does need reduction in this city 1 the outrageously high fares of the stage companies, Ought not the stages and cara to reduce their fares uniformly to the five cent rate’ Many people ouly ride aiew blocks—very few indeed ride the whole iength of the route—and instead of directing public opinion to the small matier of terriage, would it not benefit the community more to bring about a reduction of the stage Iares? We commend this reform to Mayor Hail, RICHARD RIDE! MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married. HamBunc—Franx.—On Thuraday, January 27, oy the Kev. S. Adier, Joseri J. HAMBURG to CARRIR FRANK.
