We may ssse,y estimate the present annual yield Of
these six STATES about 600 10 900 lbs As
increase IN Connections was most remarkable,
which augmented from All o5T lbs n ls4o 70 l2S7 ga
lbs b 1850 me crop more than doubled i. Ohic aad
increased nearly threefold in Pennsylvanis, aud also
largely increased in New York. The increase in Illinois
was about nifty per cent; while there falling OF in
Indiana New Jersey md most Of the other free States
The North.
The character Of the seasons for tie crops in
1910 and 1850 must have exercised some influence
them yet the statistics interesting and sug
gestivs The crops Of late years taken in the aggregate
all the Unien, have largely increased yet the fact
seems to have had no influence on prices.
Were foreign governments induced 70 adopt liberal
policy regard the admission Of American tobacco
foreign markets, production would be greatly
creased and s beneficial results fe In every State Of the
Union.

al parts Of Western and Central Europe Is well as in
Pennsylvania Ohio but in nearly al parts Of IT it's cu-
tivaton strictly prohibited by law for fear that m pro
ducon would interfere with the of government
and even ind McCulIosh advocating prohbi.ory re-
srctions against it's cultivation In Great Britain on this
ground In France its cultivation strictly prohibited
all the departments except six.

l84S estimated 1t 33 900 lbs about one third Of
which was consumed in Europe The yield Of the world
a present s6s is not less than 400 900 bs about
two thirds Of which Is produced in the United States
The Star Chamber in England in 1914, imposed duty
on Of g. lod. per h. Its cultivation was nrst pro-
hibited in England by Charles II. In ITO NJ cultivation
allowed in Ireland. In 1859 the tax was increased
and put under the excise. In 1881 act was passed
reviving the prohibition against It's cultivation in Ireland
In 1882 IN act directing that grown in
Ireland be purchased in order 10 its being destroyed.
The quantity consumed b England in 1891 was 1000, 900
