Occasionally the name of Thomas
Jefferson is heard as that of a fairly
good Democrat for his time. But he
had no anti-expansionist notions,
and nowhere is it charged against
him that he was tainted with Bry-
anism. Jefferson was not the kind
of a Democrat that would have
suited the party in these times.

Removing Mould From Tobacco

Mr. Knox of New England claims an
invention that thoroughly removes mould
from tobacco, in the following statement:
after forty years of laboratory work
the inventor has brought to light new
method of permanently removing must
and mould from leaf tobacco by the nat
ural laws of capillary attraction; also in
vented certain compound which being
applied to the butts of the tobacco leaf,
as packed in the cases will pass up
through the stems and the veins Of the
leaf removing all mould and must, and at
the same time improving the burning
qualities, without changing it's normal
color, but giving to the leaf brilliance,
liveliness, and sickness tound in the
highest grade only.
ut is we'll known fact that crops OF
tobacco, wherever raised, vary in quality,
much being so poor that it is unstable,
and on this account accumulate in the
various markets. To improve defective
stocks of the ordinary tobacco leaf OF
commerce, by the simple law OF nature
capillary attraction distributing through
out the leaves by only applying certain
harmless ingredients which fills the want
to make perfect leaf tobacco. The in
fuence of this preparation is carried
throughout the entire leaf, removing all
mold and must and giving desirable
capacity for holding fire.
mo odor or taste due to the process
can be present, this infusion viii remove
mold and must in all conditions short of
rotting, as it cannot exist in its presence,
permanently restoring the tobacco leaf
to healthy condition.
''The plans hitherto adopted to rem
edy this moldy and musty condition OF
leaf tobacco have proved to be only tenn
porary, the agents used are inducive to
mold and must and not restore the to-
bacco to healthy condition"

NEW YORK, Dec. II, 1904.


The condition prevailing in the leaf
market at present is most extraordi-
nary one. There are but two weeks to
the close of the year, which are gener
ally characterized by extreme dullness,
but this year these have been preceded
by a boom which has rarely struck the
market, even in the height of the season.
Transactions in seed leaf have been sim
ply phenomenal. Thousands upon thous
ands Of filler and binder stock have
passed into the hands of manufacturers
without much ado, evidently confirming
our repeated predictions of a recognition
of a shortage of supply. Those manu-
facturers who thus try to get under Gov
er are reaping the harvest of their fore
sight by getting not only desirable
supply, but getting it at figure which
it will be impossible to duplicate on the
leaf from this years crops. All types of
filler stock are sharing in this boom and
Wisconsin leads it in binder leaf. The
price of the latter is going up to IL cents
and will rise higher for sound leaf. But
the Sumatra is not neglected neither in
this seed boom. 1t is a..steady seller and
proves from day to day more indispensi-
BILE as the most available wrapper leaf

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week of cold, windy weather,
hardly day when it has thawed on the
south side of the buildings. That does
not look very favorable for the farmers
to get their tobacco down and into the
bundles ready to be delivered to the
buying packers, or to show them if they
should happen around, although | have
heard of some sales recently. But the
most of it is to be delivered in cases,
probably in the neighborhood of 100
acres in all. The cold, dry weather is
not confined to New England but ex-
tends to all parts of the country Wis
consin growers are troubled the same as
the farmers are here, if the weather is as
cold there as in this locality.
Nochance can be found to steam to-
bacco down. There is nothing more un-
safe than to let steam into building
where there is hanging tobacco in such
cold weather.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Bradstreet, Mass: Edgar ii. Field has
sold and delivered his crop of 1904 in
bundle at private terms. Ennotus Nor
ton & Son have sold their crop of 1904,
partly in cases and the-rest in bundle, to
Meyer & Mendleshon at private terms,
about 20 acres; both the above lots to
the same parties F. p. Jones & Co. sold
about 25 acres 1904 crop to be cased to
Meyer & Mendleshon at private terms.
e. w. Field & Son delivered their crop
of 1904 in bundle to John Decker of
South Deerfield, Mass, today. This
crop was reported sold some weeks ago,
about Is or 20 acres, at about 19c in the
bundle" Northfield, Mass: Not much
is doing in tobacco. All of the crop of
1904 lies in the bundle. No buyers have
been around The few lots raised in
town are of good quality, There is one
crop of 1903 unsold in Uown." Conway,
Mass: "The warm weather OF Wednes-
day last enabled us to get down more to-
bacco, so that some of the growers need
but one more damp to finish their crop.
It was rather of a risky time to take
down tobacco, it dripped so much In the
early part of the day. I hear of one
buyer being in town, but he offered so
low price that he didn't buy any. 1t
begins to look as though it would be the
same as last year, the later they come.
the less they pay" SuffieGd, CT: "The
warm rain of Tuesday softened the to-
bacco so that some was taken down. In
some barns the stalks which had frozen
thawed out and began to drip, and the
farmers did not dare to risk the taking
down too much, owing to the liability of
the tobacco to rot in that condition. We
are hoping for another damp spell soon."

The new crop still remains in the cur
ing sheds, the continued dry weather
having prevented taking the tobacco
down. NJ. Tobin is still in the market
for old goods and has secured few more
crops during the past week. j. W. Up
son was in Ohio last week and purchas-
ed two carloads of Zimmers, which will
be brought here and handled in his ware
house.
One of the most successful tobacco
growers in New York state is Jay Ware
of CRANKY. He has about nine acres and
it will go nearly ton to the acre. He
has recently sold the crop to Jones 4
Co. of Brooklyn at Is cents, assorted.
His crop will therefore bring about
$2O00.-Gazette.

1905. While there is still good deal of
1908 tobacco held here, most of the lead
ing packers have got rid of their hold
ings and can devote their attention to
the crop of the present year, or to those
of other states, in case they cannot see
their way clear to invest in the goods
raised at their own doors.
The sales last year for the week cor
responding with the present one were
100 cases.
Snow, accompanied by very cold
weather, has come along and, Temporal
rily at least, still further complicated the
situation. There will not, in fact, can
not, be much business done in the new
crop until a thaw, with damp weather,
comes along.

BRooKvILLE. O., Dec. Is, 1904.

We have had no casing weather in
Ohio since September. The 1904 crop
was harvested in good condition and
looked to be a good crop. Since last
casing weather in September the crop
has been bone dry. Curing can not be
told. Estimated yield for this year is
10000 cases Spanish, 10000 Gebhart and
Hybridize Seed, 1900 Little Dutch. OF
Spanish there has been none bought;
Gebharts and Hybridize Seed about
three fourths bought at to &c; Little
Dutch, So per cent bought at to SC.

Tobacco conditions remain unchanged
as relates to the new crop. All move
ment from the farmers to the warehouse
is held up awaiting the coming of soft
weather and is likely to remain so until
warmer temperature arrives The old
leaf in growers hands still receives con-
siderable attention in nearly all sections.
The bulk of the transactions are in the
cheaper grades, but anything available
in cured stock finds purchaser at a
price. The country districts are becom-
ing pretty we'll hunted over but in the
aggregate good many hundred cases
are lifted weekly.
Some very fair sized transactions have
been closed among packers of late, the
United Cigar Manufacturers figuring in
the purchase of about 3500cs of '01 and
'O3 goods through VIM. Brill, their leaf
buyer. Of this, 15O0cs are of '01 leaf in

That Secretary Taft is going to have
uphill work in getting his scheme for a
reduction of the present Dingley tariff
to the extent of Is per cent. on all tobac-
co and cigars brought into this country
from the Philippines adopted is very evi-
dent. Tobacco growers and cigar man
ufacturers are alike opposed to the pro-
posed measure, and will carry the fight
against it into Congress with all the
vigor of which they are capable. The
Cigar Manufacturers Association OF
America. composed of independent man.
ufacturers in opposition to the tobacco
trust, has already begun a vigorous cam,
paign against the proposed measure, and
it will be fought with determination to
defeat it, if that be possible. The secre-
tary of the Cigar Manufacturers Asso
citation asserts that if the proposed meas
ure is enacted into law it will mean
the ruin of thousands of cigar manufac-
turers of the country, as we'll as the
cigarmakers and the growers of cigar to-
baccos. The claim is made that in put
ting forward this reduction of tariff
rates an effort is being made to build up
an industry in the islands that does not
exist, while it threatens the livelihood of
hundreds of thousands of men who earn
living wages at their trades OF cigar
making at the present time. They say
also that, although the cigarmaking in
dustry has been carried on in the Phil
ippines for over two hundred years, the
production of all kinds of cigars, includ-
ing cheroots, last year was but loO,O0O,-
600, whereas in this country 1000 600 600
cigars were made last year. ln the is
lands the cigarmakers are said to earn
forty cents day working day and night,
while the average wage of American cl
gar rollers for an eight-hour day is SlI3.

Gently expressed the opinion that the

from former years; that the reduction IN

great influence. The attempt which was
made by one concern when the reciproc
ity treaty went into effect to manufac-
ture many millions of low priced cigars
for the American market, TO be sold at

to be impossible without loss, and IS SO

HAS A BAD LOOK.
Report That School Lands Were Sol
to Lowest Bidders.

a complaint has reached the attorney

school land in Ha .kelI county have
boen sold by the county authorities 20
bidder. and Attorney General Coleman
viii investigate the matter. Pending
his investigation Mr.. Coleman has in
structed the auditors office to hold up
the receipt of the payments on the
land

the market some time ago they were
appraised at S1.25 an acre The land
ties in that county for the appraised
value G. L Miller, an attorney Of

tire six sections Of land, Is cents an
acre more than the other parties BID
Still the land was sold to the other
parties. Thompsons money was refits-
ed. Thompson then filed mandaTuES
proceedings in the district court to
his bid and give him a receipt for the
money, and the case was set for trial
at the May term of court. Notwith-
standing this, Miller says that he is
advised that the county treasurer has
accepted the money from the lowest
bidders and has issued certificates OF
purchase to them. Miller has asked the
attorney general for permission to use
the states name in a suit to cancel the
certificates. He says his clinent's bid.
if accepted, would mean $500 more to
the state school fund than the lower
bid, which was accepted. He also says
that the purchasers propose to pay up
in full and get patent at once.
The attorney general has notified the
auditors Office not to receipt officially
for the money for the land. and to hold
up the patents. He promises 70 make
thorough investigation and find out
why the officers of Haskell county ac-
