TOBACCO AT HOME AND ABROAD

The world Is still devoted to to-
bacco, that consoling weed which in
different forms Is used by many ma
lions Whatever may BE said against
its effect upon health 1t Is certainly
less injurious than opiates and other
narcotics and stimulants. "Ods me"
wrote Ben Jonson In Every Man
In His Humor," ~ marval what
pleasure or felicity they have in TAX
ing their rogulsh tobacco, 1t is good
for nothing but to choke a man, and
fiji him full Of smoke and embers."
King James wrote counter
blast" against It's use nearly 800
years ago, but the latest figures OF
the worlds tobacco product put 1t at
approximately 1000, 100000 pounds.
More than one-thlrd OF this was
grown in the United States. The
first tobacco state Is Kentucky, next
comes North Carolina and third Vir-
ginla. The tobacco culture of Texas,
as yet in It's infancy, promises the
very richest development.
In 1905 there were in the United
States 796,O99 acres in tobacco,
which yielded 6S2,42S,5SO pounds.
valued in the raw at $6S,232.647.
In 1904 the Russian crop was
2S2,767,00O pounds; the German
crop 72,911,0O0 pounds; the French
5461O,O0O; the Hungarian 134,567,-
600 pounds; the Cuban 45,74S,000
pounds; the brazilian 100000
pounds; the Japanese 1O5,S53,000
pounds. Java, Sumatra, Turkey and
the Philippines raised respectively
100000, 46,5OO,OOO, 9O,O0O,O0O
and 100000 pounds.
In 1905 the United States govern
ment collected revenue tax of $4S,-
422,997 on tobacco. The tax OF
Great britain is higher, amounting
last year to $66,SO4,S9O. France

II is said that the exports of man
ufactured tobacco this year will ex-
coed 100000 900. and the exports
Of raw tobacco will be nearly $780,

will bring many millions in gold to

centers Without compensation there
for. The reason for this order was
a desire to prevent tie-up or con-
gestion Of mail during and Just pre-
cedlng the holidays, To this end,
It was thought that 1t would be well
to have the equipment transferred
more speedily than can be done by
freight, which is the method pro-
vided. While there is some doubt as
to the right Of the department to en-
force its order. the law permits the
use OF tho express companies for the
purpose IN question, which would
meet the emergency, though pro"'r
rather expensive.
