mb. i.iHvir.r.a's essay.
Mr. Llnvllle read the following eaaay en
the subject: " The Meral and Intellae.ual
Aapecta el Tobaeoo growing."
It U aald tie tobaeoo crop brings an an
nual Income of three million dollars te the
farmera of Lancaster oeunty. Frem a pe
cuniary standpoint this Is enoenraglag
When we consider tbe moral and degrada
tion oeoeatoned by tbe oelture et this Tile
drug, we are lad te pause and ask whether
It la worth tbe prlee.
A generation or two age farmera' beya
were kept home from school in winter te
assist at threshing-. Tee advent et the
steam thrasher premised relief from this
winter's Jeb and an unbroken term of
schooling for tbe beya. Then came to te to
beooo atrlpplnir and the boys, and In aema
eases tbe girls, are kept one, two or three
months In the stripping room. Thousands
of tbem who would be papUa of tbe puplle
scboe'a et Lancaster oeunty will thus be
deprived of part or all their wlnter'a school school
leg tbat they may help eare for the im
mense tobacco crop new en the poles. Ner
deea It step here. The pupils never get
far enough advanced te attend the higher
Institutions of learning, and probably but
few or tbem even will be aware et their
own Illiteracy.
The moral Influence of this business Is
equally pornleloua. The rmneal labor of
toeacoo stripping la light, and tbe workers'
garrulous teDgutta sre free te rehearse and
rehash all the gossip and every scandal of
the neighborhood.
If any fine peatry, any grand Ideas, any
great moral projeets, or any valuable In
ventions eame from s stripping room,I have
never beard of them, it Wiilttler or Jehn
Bright or Thes. A. Edisen hadapent tbelr
youthful daya and evenings In a tobacco
cellar, they would go down te tbelr graves
unknown, unwept and unsuup,
BXTBNDKD DISCUSSION OF THK ESSAY,
Mr. Cooper Indorsed the senttment set
forth In tbe essay. He thought It was a
great error te keep children In the strip-
. ping room when tbey should be at school.
Mr. Diffenderffer aald tbe aame argument
applied te tbe cotton faoterles In thla elty.
Mr. Breslua made a lengthy apeeeh In
opposition te tbe vlewa of tbe essayist. He
aald tbeuaanda of acres et wblch were bar.
ran' twenty-five years age, were new cov
ered with tobaeoo, and hundreds of people
In thla oeunty new own their own homes,
which would net have been the case but
for tobacco growing. Aa te vulgarity and
profanity oemplalned el as a frequent oo eo oe
ourrenoe In the tobece) atrlpplng rooms,
where beya and girls work, he asserted
that there was aa much In the gathering of
scholars of tbe public school a,
Mr. Wltmer referred te the geed accona accena
pllabed In hla township, several parties
having been able te buy tbemselvtahemea
with money obtained in tobaceo farming.
Mr. HlUer believed tbat tbe morality la
thla oeunty waa aa gced new aa 40 years
age, when tobieco waa net raised,
Mr. Hoever took the position tbat tobaeoo
farming Inculcated habits of Induatry. He did
net think that the beya and girls engsged
In tobaeoo stripping would attend school If
net engaged In tbat Industry. In conclu
sion be aatd that In bla judgment tbe cul
ture of tobaeoo waa a great benefit, and It
properly pursued tbe greatest Induatry In
tbe oeunty.
Mr. Kendlg did net think tbat tbe eaaay
let wanted te atop tbe growing of tobacco,
but dealred speclally te eall tbe attention
el tbe members te the moral Infiueneaa that
might be exerted. In hla township he did
net think any children were kept out of
school te work at tobaeoo stripping.
Mr. Miller aald tobacco raising was an
Immense amount et geed in this oeunty.
Take It away and the oeunty will be dead.
In his judgment the manufacturing or
tobacco has mere bad Influence en morals
than the stripping. In elgsr factories girls
are employed from 10 years old up. They
remain there for years and when tbey quit
that work te get married they knew noth
ing of household duties.
Dr. Wlekershsm referred te tbe lawa of
tbe state which prevented tbe employment
of children under 11 yeara of age, but the
law Is beleg violated dally. There are In
thla elty many under that age employed In
manufactories, but the manufacturers
employ them because the penalty Is never
enforced. Tbe law does net provide who
ahall leek after tbe enforce nent of Its pro pre
vision. When superintendent be aent
agents through tbe state, and from reports
aaade there were ever 75,000 children em.
pleyed, who were under 12 j eat ft of age,
who never went te acbrel.
THK OTIIKB 8IOX OP THK QUESTION,
Mr. Eegledld net dispute that tobacco
farming was of financial benefit te Lancaster
eunty, but en tbe ether hand where one
family hsa beau benefitted by Its calture,
tea have been degraded by tbe use et
tobaeoo. While mtlllene et dellara have
been received in thla county, as canon has
been squandered. The tobaeoo habit, la
held, waa tte first itep towards degradation.
"Shew me a degraded person," ha aald,
"and I will ahew you a tobaeoo user." He
compared tbe tobacco business with tbe
liquor trafne and argued that the one waa
aa dlsieputaDte as the ether.
Mr. DlUenderffer, la answer te this
apeak r, referred te some of the brightest
intellects of the country aa tobaeoo us are

While tbe closing week of tbe year offered
an occasion for a retrospective view et tbe
market, tbe firat week of the new year
almost challenges us te give a prospective
view. Besides, we have been approached
from every aide te forestall a diagnosis of
the trade for the coming year. But we are
net prophets, nor de we claim te have tbe
gift of prophecy. However, we will venture
te predict that the heeltby condition In
which the market found Itself in tbe latter
part of the paat year ta certain te oentloue
for tte firat few months of tba new year.
The stock, both In the banda of menufao menufae
turere and In our market, la very abort.
principally aa tar aa wrappere and old fillera
are concerned. The stock purchased In tbe
fall season has by thla time entered mostly
la the proeese et manufacture and will be
completely exhausted before spring sets in.
Then there will be a regular raee In the
market for anything aultable and a propor
tionate advanoe In prleea acaerdlngly. The
new crops cannot be available at the earl lest
before next July, and then the question
arises, hew will they turn out T Te Judge
from tbe reperte whleh we reoelvefrem our
cigar leaf growing districts, the new aeed
crops, with but one solitary exception, will
net reach the atandard of tne '87 crop. A
year age about thla time aeme or our
peekera had gene Inte ecataclea already
about tbe Pennsylvania Havana and
bought U op at any etlravagant figure the
termers might have naked. Te-day tbe
new Pennsylvania Havana seems te be
under a cloud ; It Is dragging ; buyer are
few and prleea are dropping. The aama
apathy prevalla In ether tobaceo districts.
The only exospllen eppeara te be the New
England crop, whleh haa found early
bujera at high prleea. But what will the
few thensand eaaea or tbe New England
tobaeoo amount te In the enormeua demand
for wrappers by our cigar Induatry 7
Evidently the bulk will have te be aupplied
again by Sumatra, but tbe quality et the
new crop of Sumatra Is yet an unknown
factor. Since lie deterioration two yeara
age It Is net suppessd tbat the new crop
will Improve In quality. Therefore, we
knew what we have get in tbe market for
tbe next few months ; but we don't knew
what we will get ; consequently It la aafe te
rely en a oeminuauoe of an active demand
for all tbe geed and available stock atlll en
hand.
Hardly any new business waa transacted
'during the past week. Tbe trade was busy
with taking Inventory and tilling old erdera.
Frem the Tobacco X.eaf.
Aa la generally tbe esse this time of tbe
year, business in leaf tobaeoo la very quiet,
and ssles have been made only In a small
way. All houses are taking stock. Buying
of tbe new crop In the country has stepped
entirely In some sections, and In ethers
there la only a little being done. On the
whole, judging from Information we have
received, business In the tobaeoo trade haa
been geed.
Sumatra The year Just dosed hsa net
been, aa a whole, a satisfactory or profitable
one for handlers of Sumatra tobaeoo. The
combination of high prices, lnforler goeda
and unsatisfactory custom beuse appraise
ments have made tbe bualnese el the lm
Krter a very unpleasant one, te aay the
tst, Reports from Sumatra regarding
the new crop are very meagre, but they
Indicate that It will bean Improvement en
Its predecessor. The sales last week were
460 bales, at VL20 te IL0S.
The reported aalea for tbe laat week In
the year amount te 630 bales of Havana,
meat of whleh aeld within the usual range
of quotations ; but a few fancy leta brought
aahigh aa 11,30. The bualneaa for 1888,
considering tbat It waa a presidential year,
baa been a satlsfwstery one with most or
tbe impertera of Havana, and tbe quality
of the new crop glvea premise that atlll a
better business will be done In 1880. Prices
el oeurae, must rule hlgb, bat the quality
of the goods will justify them.

A BAD GANG OF BOYS.

Thj Are Bnapsetsd Fer a Leng Tims et the
Crimes The Attest or Bassral UUelests
the Ratsaatve OpsraUsas of las Well
Knewu Uaht-Flagsrsa Teaagsierr.
Seme Interesting facta have Just come te
light In regard te the delnge of a gaag et
boys aad young men, of tha elty, who have
been carrying en thieving operations for
aeme time paat. Over fifty suits have btea
brought before Aldermaa Deea, eharglag
about twenty young men with lareeny and
reeelvlng stolen goeda It haa been known
ter a long time that sneak thlevea have
been getting In tbelr work at several
stores In this city, and It tba facta
era proved, aa the commonwealth expect,
It la likely tbat aeme beya will be put where
tbey can keep their flegera te themselves.
In Junelaatanumberet beya were arrtated
for robbing tbe cigar store et Jehn Baker,
ea North Queen street Tha cases were
made out egalnst tbem very plainly and
alt were convicted. Judge Patteraen, la
the hope tbat the beya would de better la
tbe future, allowed them te go, after a
reprimand, but told them It they again
came before him, as eflendera egalnst tha
law.he would eenienee them en tbeehargea
tbat they bad been convicted. Late develop
menta ahew tbat aeveral et the boys had
scarcely been liberated when tbey began
stealing again. Offlesrs of the law have
been keeping tbelr eyea en them for mera
than a year paat and It was learned that
tbey were In tbe habit et Bailing knives,
revolvers and ether new articles. It waa
found that they were taking the property
from the hardware atere et Iaaac
Dlller it Sens, en Eaat King street
Seme time ego the effleers gained
possession of a number of knives that had
been aeld by the gang todlfferent people,
The fcnlvea were Uken te Dlller'a atere,
Where tbey were Identified ae the fltm'a
property. The folks In the atere were told
that tbey were being rebbed.and the names
aad deaorlptlena et tbe auapeeted boys were
given them. The clerka then ocneluded te
be en tbelr guard. About two weeks sge
Miff Wellcal snd Cbarlee Bltner, two of tha
beye who were convicted et the Bakar rob
bery, entered tbe etore together. While
Bltner engaged one of tbe clerks In oonver eonver oenver
eatlon, by pretending te make a purebase,
Weltssl placed a pair et skatea under hla
oeat and tried te get away. Hewaaeaughf,
however, and handed ever te tbe polies.
The arreat of Bltner, Leu Wiley, Albert
Auxer and William Chandler quickly fol
lowed, and all were returned te court by
Alderman Doen.
Since tfca last arrest two of tbe beya
have oenoludod tbat they are In a pretty
bad fix. They reselved te make a elean
breast el everything, end have glvea mueh
Information oerfoernlng the workings el the
gang te tha tflleera. If tbe stories of these
beye can be believed, and there la mueh
te corroborate them, It la high time tbat the
orewd la broken up. The beya who bave
been doing this stealing range In age from 16
te 20 years, and it appears that there were
twenty five or thirty In the party. Fer
mere tban a year and a-half tbey have been
engaged In atealltig and la that time have
taken hundredaet dellara' worth of goeda
The firm tbat aullered meatly from their
operations were Dller A Sens, snd tbey are
unable te tell bow mueh tbelr leas la The
plan of the boys wss for two orthresef
tbem te enter a atore, under a preteaee of
making a purehaie. One would buy some
small article and thus engage tbe attention
of tbe aslesman, while hla companion or
companions would steal eemetlilng
mere valuable. They operated In
tbla way, until Welutl and Bltner
were detected, two and three times each
week. According te tbe stories of tbe
Vquealera," large quantities of goeda were
carried ell right under tbe noses of aalea
men. Theae goods consisted et knives,
revelverr, skates, whlpr, rules, leeks, Aa.
Tbey were dlvlded among boss who sold
tbem, traded tbem off for ether thlnge or
disposed et them In aeme ether manner.
On one occasion tbree of tbe gang went te
tbe atere and carried oft a double deuble
barreled gun. At another time
one of them atele a half dozen
rovelvora In one day, and aeld or
gave tbem away. Attlmeebeia who had
money, but did net bave the nerve te ateal,
would give It te their mere hardened com
panions, who would go In and mske a
amall purchase and steal something valu
able. Upen coming out the two would
either divide tbe property or eell It and
abare tbe money. Net only did tbe thieves
werkatDlllei'a etore, but another favorite
place waa the cigar atere et M. B. Weldler,
en West King atreet Between August
lat and last et November tbey atele
cigarettes, cigars, smoking and chewlng
tobacje and pipes In the same manner that
tbey operated at Dlller'a, On two different
oeoaalona they carried oil whole boxes of
plug tobseco which they sold, one by tbe
pieces and tbe ether by the box.
Among the beya who have been arrested
are seme et geed fauilllt s, wbe have gotten
tbomrelves Inte thti trouble through their
bad associates. Mauy or the beya accused
hsve been In the habit of traveling together
en tbe atreeta by night and day. Tbey bore
tbe roputatleu of being very bad and
aomehave frequently been In trouble be
fore. Oa tbe ether baud there are aeme
who have alwuya been regarded as geed
square beya aud theae ehargea have aur
prised their friends. The chargea against
rtome of tbe beya are a year and a halt old(
and alnoe tbat tlme tbe beja have given up
their bad companions. Meat et tbem pro pre
test tbat tbey are innocent, aud aeme, wte
are charged with receiving stelen goedr,
aay that they had no knowledge that tte
articles were stolen wheu tbey received
tbem.
The beya have net all been arrested yet.
Several are aald tobave skipped from tbe
city, while there are etbera whose parents
will bave them ou hand whenever wanted,
These held by the alderman are Ben
