TOBACCO TRADE.

Few people realize the commercial lul-
portance of the American tobacco trade.
This no doubt arises from the fact that the
culture of the article Is confined to COM
paratively lew States. In 1869 there were
494. 800 acres devoted to this business,
yielding 313, 724 900 pounds, valued at the
place Of production at SAL, 2S3,C00, In the
past decade there has been upward oil
100000 acres devoted to this purpose, with
yield of over 500.000,0G0 pounds The
value of the product has not risen I'D pro-
portion tn the increased yield, owing TO
the competition from foreign sources.
The highest aggregate value OF the domes-
tic crop has been about $45. 100000. Ken
lucky leads all other States in the cultlva-
lion OF tobacco. This has been partlcu-
larly the case of late years. In 1883 that
State contributed just 0ne-half OF the total,
and yet the business was prosecuted In
about twenty States. Virginia has been
a good second right along. Its largest
yield was in 1885, when the total was
los, I'll. 600 pounds. Other Southern States
devote considerable attention to The same
industry, especially Maryland. Tennessee,
North Carolina and Missouri. Among the
more prominent Northern States are Ohio.
PENNSYLVANIA and Wisconsin.
There has always been a good export
trade in American tobacco. 1t has been
classed in some years as one of the four or
FIVE leading staples of export. In the last
fiscal year the gross value of this trade in
the foreign commerce of the country was
over $41, GOO, 600. In that year there was
imported into the country a value of
$13. 1856 900 in leaf and manufactured
tobacco. while there was exported value
OF $27, 934, 700. showing a combined value
of S41, $50, 600 in this trade 18th foreign
countries. The exports of tobacco leaf,
stems and trimmings from The United
States in the last fiscal year amounted to
900. $685. 900 pounds, of the value of S24, 0S5,-
234. i be United ugdOm is the principal
customer, that country taking IS, 273, 200
pounds. Other European countries are
also heavy buyers. Germany took 81. 1882. 500
pounds in the same year, while France
took 3626S.CC0 pounds. The results Of
this trade for the last year were particu-
larry gratifying in view of tie distress in
other branches of business. 1t is true the
imports fell eff over 81, 200, 600 as compared
with the previous year. Bnt this was
gain to the country rather than loss. On
the other hand, there was an increase Of
$1,000, 600 in the exports. This is quite en-
courag ing to those engaged In The cultiva-
ton of the weed. ard they naturally feel
ell 4ted over the iFturns.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

The New York Sam says in reference TO
the revival of the Panama canal scheme:
1t is calculated that the net annual returns
from the canal. after it is in full operation will
reach about Sl0,0000 900 a year. But all OF
this will not be available 10 pay Interest on the
bonds and stock OF the new company. Tublic
opinion IN France will not permit the bond
holders and shareholders in the OLD CORPORA
Iion 10 be entirely froZ out II is, accord
Ingiy, fundamental condition OF the scheme
devised or sanctioned by The official nuuda-
tor hat one-haf of the net profits OF The water
way shall be reserved for the creditors OF the
former company.
The absolute justice of this reported
public opinion in France will not be ques-
toned. The original investors have a
right to be considered. But il the amount
sunk in the enterprise is to be added
to the cost of construction as it
d ow stands, the canal holds out hope of
but small profit to future investors.
Almost enough money has been invested
already to have built the canal on the
lock plan. To this must now be added the
$10o, coo. 900 or more needed to complete the
canal on the most economical plan of oper-
ations that can be devised. The Honda.
tor is said to have formed basis for the
new company by compelling some of The
old contractors to disgorge a portion OF
their dishonest gains. Eight mil ions were
obtained from M. Eiffel. DR.. Herr and the
estate of the late Baron Reinasch. To this
is added the sum of five millions obtained
from a new issue of capital stock. 1t
seems almost like irony to provide that the
shareholders and bondhoiders Of the old
corporation shall have the preferences

OUTCOME OF THE WAR IN KOREA.

According to the latest reports Japan
has gained about all that had been antici-
pated wneu the struggle began win tie
Chinese. What Japan has apparently
sought is the absolute Independence of
Korea. That is only the beginning of the
end. Japan not only wants Independence
for her nearest neigh Dor. but wants her also
10 move on some of the lines of progress
that have done so much for Japan. 1t is
not impossible that Korea may yet become
not only absolutely iudependent of China,
but may also have an era of advancement
similar 10 that of her nearest neighbur
During the recent struggle Korea has made
treaty with Japan which involves abso-
lutte separation from China. There has
also been a modification OF arbitrary
government, to this extent. that a council
or board of counselors has been appointed
to consider al matters of material i'm
poTtance.
That is the entering wedge. 1t required
many years for Japan to get rid of feud-
alism and to establish constitutional
government. What has been done in that
country is not an impossibility in Korea.
Accepting the Japanese view of the
issue as approximately correct. the sympa-
thies of the civilized world will be on the
prevailing side. The other side has not
formulated any issue that has been clearly
understood. China resented the interior
ence of Japan in Korean affairs. That in
reference meant the Introduction of the
spirit OF modern civilization. That was
the alarming fact. The moment Korea
should leave her hermit shell there would
be no more sympathy for her on the part
Of the Chinese than they now have for
Japan. The country would either assume
essentially Chinese character, or it would
move far away from any close relation
with her ancient ally.
The fact is al'o set in a new light that
Japan had long held that Korea under the
suzerainty of the Chinese was a danger
Gus neighbor. 1t was from Korea that the
founder Of the present MongOl dynasty in
1881 made a descent upon Japan and IN
deriook to conquer that country. Nearly
twenty years ago in treaty which Japan
made with X, Tea this clause was inserted:
Korea being in independent state en-
joys the same sovereign rights rs japan"
When the United States aud other West
err powers at a Later date made treaties
with Korea that country was treated as
having autonomy China made no Objec-
ton.
At later day this claim on the part OF
Japan, persistently asserted, brought on
the present war. The latter country is liz
a fair way to make good tbs defense. An
independent state would hold close rela-
tions with Japan. There could be no
descent Of an enemy on the latter Ike
that once made by the founders of the
Morgol dynasty. That Of course is The
japanese side of the question. Ii it turns
out to be the correct view the course of
the latter, while nominally aggressive,
has been a defensive one. Helping her
self she has also helped friendly nation
to secure absolute independence.

LONDON WOOL SALES.

A London dispatch says hat the United
States is expected to be a large buyer of
wool in The London market. II is quite
likely that this expectation will be real
lied. Wool from all parts of the world
viii be thrown into the London market,
and it is probabls that American manufac-
turers will be able to buy more chenply in
London than at home. OF course all such
changes are in the interest IF England.
AS for the United States, is it not enough
that this country should be recog-
nized as holding a dominant position AS
buyer in the London market? The free
trade programme leads 10 this result. So
distinguished a free-trader as Chairman
Wilson has in England denounced the Nc
Kinley tariff because it was selfish.

NOT IN THIS WAY.

Referring to the report that the Schwen-
furth who claims TO be Messiah is gaining
rich recruits contemporary says it is a
pity that no law has been enacted which
will reach and check his frauds. While
there are many who will respond to this
sentiment there are others who vii prefer
that the work of determining the true
from the false shall be left TO individuals.
In our day the law cannot shape groove
in which public opinion shall run. To the
persons who hand over their cash 10
Schweinfurth he is not fraud. If the
law should declare him one it would not
make him one in their estimation. Mean
time miili0naires who are irritated TO see
poor fraud win an occasional prize
should console themselves with the reflec-
ton that millions are not accumulated in
this way.
