Interview with Ex.Goy. seymonr.

New YORK, August 10. Elk Gov. Seymour, in
an interview at Utica. yesterday, ssio the new
parties sprnRng up would be short lived, but will
be oil benefit TO old parties by exposing fallacies.
lie claims that the communists are only highly
developed tariff men, who believe government
makes the prosperity of a county and should in-
terftre with the business of its citizens. They
both believe the property of one shou Id be given
10 another to make his business prosper. The
, one says this should be done by a division; the
other reaches the same end by taxation. They
agree in the vital principles of their theories, that
government must protect labor; that political
power and not pursuits adapted to the condition
of our county, are the sources of wealth and
prosperity.
Maine shipbuilders will not allow our merchants
4 to buy vessels outside of our country, as they
cannot get them here for prices which can make
! them pay. American commerce Is driven from
| the oceans of the world and we cannot send what
We make or ra ise to any market that wants to
| buy what we want to sell. But for this fact all
classes of farmers, mechanics and laborers would
| at this time be prospecting
II is a Curious fact that wealthy manufacturers
| OF New England aud Penn. have been preaching
doctrines OF communism In urging that articles OF
American labor must be protected and supported
| by American citizens through the tariff.
lie Is opposed TO any ntlation of the currency !;
| says the west is richer than ever before and is
growing richer, and If 1t will hold to u sound cur
rency VIII soon control the wealth Of the country
| as 1t now does It's political power.
| lie IS satisfied, alter looking over the field of
politics, that what at first sight seems to threaten
confusion and disorder, in the end will give us
more sound views about labor, government and
| finance.

Russian Naturaliats.

A small community Of Russian Nihilists at
Cedar Vale, Kan, failed and dispersed lately.
They numbered twenty-five, six being chill
dren, one a single woman, and another the
divorced wife of one OF the members, who had
married again. In 1875 they bought farm,
but there was no order or system In their
manner Of working it. They were opposed to
rules, or to being ordered to any special work.
They believed In working by impulse for the
general good. Consequently several persons
would often begin the same description OF
work, such, for instance, as going for the cows
in the evening, but when the latter were
brought in 1t was often some time before they
were MIXED, as 1t was no ones especial duty
to milk them Being opposed to ornamental
ton in dress, they attired themselves in very
rough materials, though belonging to the ed
ucated classes of society. Their sole reliance
was farming, and they found each year that
their sales were not at all commensurate with
their purchases. Sundry American Socialists
had offered to join them, but were repulsed
They desired only Russian accessions. An
Americanized Russian finally joined them, and
instituted daily business meetings, at which
it was decided what work should be done, and
who should do it. This divided the commu-
nifty into two parties. the "systematists" and
the "naturalists," the latter OF whom believed
that business would move naturally when let
alone. These finally left, one by one, and the
rest concluded to disband.

began with the earliest settlers, since its use
had become general among them In 1885,
when pipes were bought from the Indians
| and used by many.
| The earliest data on the subject is a letter
from the Governor and Council Of Virginia,
dated James City, January 20, 1922, which in
forms the British government that there were
about 10000 pounds OF tobacco produced an
| In 1889, however, seventeen years after
| wards, the colonys export production
amounted to 10000 pounds, In 1909 it had
| reached 2S,s5S,G66 pounds, Of which II, 2GO, $50
| pounds were consumed annually in Great
Britain, and 17,5980O7 In other European
countries.
From 1744 to 1745 the American colonies ex-
ported annually 4O,0OO,000 pounds Of tobacco
| 100000 Of which were consumed In Great
Britain and 33,OO0,000 In other European coun-
| tries.
The annual average OF our expectations from
1868 to 1873, both inclusive, was 66, $50 hogs
heads, Of about 1000 pounds each, or the whole
equal to 100000 pounds.
In 1860 we exported AS, 729 hogsheads OF leaf
tobacco at an average price OF eight cents per
pound, equal In toto to q value of S0,2l9,2 51.
Our exports Of manufactured tobacco were
1886, 1853 pounds and Of snuff 37422 pounds
equal In toto to O. value OF 81 las, 5T.
WORLDS CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO.
In England and in America large quantity
OF tobacco Is used for mastication, but In the
United States, OF late. the smokers Of pipes,
cigars and cigarettes have consumed over half
of the whole amount used. q
The pipe Is favorite In Holland and Ger
many, and to some extent in Turkey. The
cigarette is favorite In Louisiana Cuba,
France, Turkey and Russia, where, also,
larger quantities of cigars are smoked than
elsewhere. The Mcmillan prefers his cheroot,
and the Chinese flip from the cigarette to q
quaff Of opium.
The consumption OF tobacco In Great
Britain, France and the United States is aver
aged thus, per capita taking for basis CEN
sus OF 1880:
The United States consumed 81, 93a, 572
pounds OF tobacco for population Tin 1850 Of
"a, $50, g72 equal to three pounds eight ounces
per Individual.
France consumed 40, 943, 088 for population
OF IS, 400, 486, equal to one pound two and half
ounces per individual.
Great Britain consumed %. 062, 978 pounds for
a population Of ~ ABS, 1916, equal to one pound
One-sixth OF an ounce per individual.
NEW ORLEANS AS A TOBACCO MARKET.
New Orleans was once the great American
mart for tobacco, but the war and the closing
up Of the Mississippi passes, as well as the want
OF cheap and rapid channels Of access to the
interior, soon placed our mart and port at the
lower end OF the list. But the present avail
able channel to large vessels and increase of
other facilities inland bid fair to return this
important branch OF commerce to us. 1t be-
hOoveS our merchants to secure this trade
again, and all that Is required is q little enter
prise and representation OF facts.

AS If nature had foreseen its important
abundant resources to multiply and to pro-
pagate.
There is no plant whose seeds are SO album
dant as those of the tobacco plant, on single
as 40, 800 seeds. The seeds will moreover pre-
serve their terminating capacities for three
and four years, and the plant Is susceptible OF
cultivation In the most varied OF soils and
climates, thriving as well almost In Canada
and Sweden as it does in our sunny South or
In the torrid zones.
The plant belongs to the order of SOldndceT,
and Is remarkable for its wide green leaves
and their manner of spreading, from soil to
top, In an almost perfect conical progression.
VARIETIES.
The principal varieties Of tobacco, from
which hundreds OF sub-varieties have been
formed or claimed, are the Virginia, Mary
land Connecticut, Orinoco, Virginia-Pr
White-stem Havana Tor Nuelta Abajo), Mexi-
co, Pernambuco, Macouba and Perique.
All other designations are purely local and
due to more or less variations in the form,
taste and curing OF the plant.
THE PERIQUE
Is a variety special to Louisiana, and takes
its name from an old Acadian farmer of the
Smokey Point Settlement in st. James parish
(POinte u la BOucdne)
This tobacco owes its pecnliaritles Of strong
aromatic flavor and odor as much TO the soil
In which it Is grown as to the mode of curing
It invented by M. Perique. 1t is produced
from any seed, and some is produced outside
of the locality above mentioned In St. James,
but it cannot be compared with the former
1t Is usually sold in carrots, as they are
termed, or pressed rolls, from. which the
smoker may cut his daily provision
Large establishments for the manufacture
OF perique cigarettes are also established at
the Point" and are doing very large export
business to the West and North, and, in fact
to Europe, where perique has repeatedly been
