THE TOBACCO SUPPLY OF FRANCE AND ENGLAND
EFFECT OF THE BLOCKADE OF THE SMOKERS ON
EUROPE.
from Cores Liverpool Commercial Advertiser Sept 81
The blockade will deprive OF this tobacco so far as
we are dependent on America for supply. In fiscal
point OF view this is most important consideration to
our government as the revenue from it for the last year
amounted to the enormous sum Of nearly f6 900 600
But if we Will not sully our national honor for cotton
neither will we do for tobacco, and it is noteworthy
that the price of tobacco may BIO doubled without greatly
enhancing its cost to the consumer the duty is the
chief element in it's manufactured value
The government OF France s, however, deeply
terescd In this tobacco question than ours because
France tobacco is a government monopoly, which con-
tributes at least I25 900 900 francs pes 10 the impe
rial treasury The greater portion Of the vast supply
CURED to raise this extraordinary is shipped
