TOBACCO MONOPOLY IN FRANCE AND ToDicco DU-
TIES IN ESGLASD.-From document issued by
the Ministry of Finance, exhibiting comparative
statements Of the indirect revenue of France the
first six months of 1851, compared with tn, cor
responding period of 1896, it appears that the pro-
duct of the sale Of tobacco (the tobacco monopoly
in the hands of the Regie) during the former pc
riod amounted to S4,l6S000 francs, or nearly
S7 0000O0, against 1901 900 francs, Sl5 $780,
600, the first six months of 1856. During the
same period there were imported into Great Bri-
tain for consumption 16,12l,T46 pounds of tobac-
co, exclusive of manufactured and snuff, on
which the British government realized revenue
from custom-house duties alone Of Sl2,lsS,040.
Supposing the importation of tobacco into both
these countries the last six months of 1857 should
equal land it will doubtless exeeed) the importa-
tion of the first six months. the aggregate amount
of revenue derived from tobacco, almost wholly of
American growth, by the governments of Great
Britain and France would reach for 1857, the sum
of SIS, s,376.0Sa; for France s3l000,e0o, aud for
Great Britain $2i,S76,0S0. Almost every dol
lar of this enormous sum comes out of the labor
and toll Of American tobacco growers, and the ig-
ures represent no more than minimum, average
of the result, year with another, of the Amer
lean tobacco trade in France AMI Great Britain
