TopACco.-It is remarkable how
universal is the demand for this
product. The official returns show
list of ono hundred aud twenty
five different articles Of export
aud out Of that number, with the
exception of grain, there is not one
that is shipped to so many diff.
fCrcnt countries ~ tobacco. The
Government report enumerates Sow
enty-one different foreign markets
to which 0ur products are exported.
Ont Of that number, there are only
six that do not buy our tobacco.
viz Madeira. the air Of whirh is
possibly too pure To- bc polluted 10y
the fumes Of the weed Egypt,
san Domingo, Greece, Bolivia and
EquedOr--m0st OF which places
produce their own.
The value of the tobacco cx-
ported from the United States last
year, was nearly five times that of
our sea products, fifty per cent
more than the products of the for
est--not quito three millions Of
dollars less than the whole export
of vegetable food, and rather over
an eighth of the valuc of the cot.
ton crop.
IL is clear that the general taste
for tobacco smoking is steadily in
crcasing, whether to the public in
jury or otherwise we leave for
those better skilled in the doctrines
of narcotics than ourselves to de.
eide. The fact is, that despite Of
King James counterblast, and Ur.
bans accommodation, and the
everlasting anti.narcotic fulmiDa.
