ials city. i was stated That such q bill. Il
passed. would not only diminish VIVA. trade
aow come. to us, but might slt.ma.e!y
drive II away altogether.
10 New York, Philadelphia. or wherever
tobacco is now sent, it Is subject to. no re.
.rrictious whatever, and were these en-.
forced here, the trade would naturally seek
cheaper channels and leave New Orleans,
which now. through the exertions of several
nj our prominent men, is a large receiving
point for the staple.
so deeply impressed is Mr.. King with
:ais fact that he has even low written let
ters TO several of the prominent legislators
of Kentucky and Tennessee, urging that
they petition our Legislature on tine sub
ask that the bill be rejected, as it
would only result in the driving away OF |
some million dollars worth of our trade,
ard be of no benefit to any one.'
