ToBAcco SELLIRs AND Burma
Some recent suspensions in the CONNER.
cial world have turned the attention of
the farmers TO the tobacco trade. The
condition Of that trade seems to Us rath-
er anomalous. By some combination,
made among the tobacco buyers, plan
ter cannot sell his own crop; he mnst,
whether he wishes or not, employ an
agent to do il for him. The BUYERS
will not deal directly With the planter.
They. for their own convenience, insist
upon dealing with an agent. We have
not examined the matter ourselves, but
. gentleman who claims TO have knowl.
edge on the subject says that this is the
case nowhere but in Maryland. If Il
were the case elsewhere il would not be
the less Objectionable in Maryland. Tie
tobacco agents are, as a class, as good
as any other class Of people, and are a
great convenience and advantage in
many, If not most cases. But it is the
compulsory part of it that is objection.
able. Under the present system the
whole product of the crop is obliged to
pass through the hands Of a third par
~ before it comes into the pocket of
the owner. The safety of tie money, in
its transit through the hands Of m
agent, is an object of a good deal OF
concern to many, and various plans hive
been suggested II this end One of the
plans suggested is to make it penal
oifense for commission merchant not
to pay over the proceeds of the sale of
crops. But it would be most manifest
ly unfair to single out commission mer-
chants "a the only class to be persecu-
ted criminally for breach of trust
Any such law should operate equally on
all who have the handling Of other peo-
pies money. Bankers nd lawyers should
come under it. By these latter classes,
We are sorry to say. we believe the peo-
pie have lost more money than by the
agents, AMI under less excusable cir
cumstanccs. The chlnces are rather
against the early passage of any law
Furnishing crininally all breaches of
trust, even if such law could be made
to operate practically. 49,,
Another plan sug ,cst..d is to incor-
porate a company, and for the Company
to appoint Il s.l,ried agent for the sale
81 tobacco. and take from him Il bond
with ample security. The agent to be
under the control Of board of direc-
tors.
We do not see why this plan would
not work we'll if it were put in opera
ton. 1t might be little cumbersome
but it would certainly insure safety. if
the corporators were men of character
and tie bond of the agent good one
1t would be, in fact, the banking svs-
TEN, with its checks applied to tobacco
agencies. Ii any general interes: was
taken in it, such corporation W ould not
only afford safety to the planter. bu;
would pay fair interest OIL the shares
While we have only mentioned tobacco,
these remarks apply to all the products
Of the farm.
At any rate the relation between the
farmer and the buyer seem at present
i'll an unsatisfactory state, and it is well
worthy of the consideration of the peo-
pie whether these relations canuot be
improvcd.-Muryland Independent:
