1t IS by no means these object
OF the utterances to discourage
the growth of tobacco. Such
a course would entail econ
omic readjustments little less dis
astrous in their operation and
consequences than the loss of
our export leaf trade.
The world is accustomed to
our leaf, and likes it. Our leaf
has the prestige of use through
centuries in the worlds markets.
Moreover, tobacco is, so to speak,
our historic prop. America gave
1t to mankind and mankind as
sooiates the ''soothing weed''
with American institutions in
history, in statecraft, in song and
in sentiment. The very senti-
ment Of this association firmly
fixed in the minds OF the worlds
tobacco asars'is : priceless asset.
Therefore, Instead of producing
less, We should raise more; in
stead of alternating our foreign
customers we should and can en-
large their numbers and increase
their patronage. This can easily
be done by substituting rauionul
for hysterical business methods.
The world is willing and anxious
to paw us fair price for our
leaf, but will not pay an exor-
bitant price, nor will it submit
to indignities ana barbaric civic
conditions in order to obtain it.
Our home manufacturers can
consume only enough to supply
the enormous consumptive re.
quirements that their brains aud
enterprise have built up, and no
amount of attempted coercion Can
compel them to buy more. Home
manufacturers are powerless to
the consuming public to
buy their product. made of leaf
at prohibitive prices, or to con-
sumo more than suits the incli-
nation of the public.

ed in Italy, and the government
has pressed more energetically
the measures which they had al
ready prepared in earlier years.
"To make Italy more or less
Independent of the American
supply may be said to be the
main object of the Italian policy
at present. The measures which
can be taken to this end are of
three kinds: First-As a pro-
duction, the government can en-

cos of the American type. Sec
ond-As purchaser it can import
tobaccos capable of substitu-
tion fer the American. Third
AS manufacturer it can alter
the proportion of home and for.

ally wean the public taste from
all American brands.
"The government is doing its
best to educate the farmer and
to remove part of the risk and
expense from his shoulders"
Under the heading, "Contin-
uance of Purchase of American

rior to the Italian, is obtainable
at prices low enough to discour-
age the Italian planter, so long
as it is sure to hold its own IN
spite of all the efforts of the
government and of private en-
terprise.
"But sudden and violent
rise in American prices, coming
after the excitement and appre-
hension caused in Italy ~ the
recent troubles in Kentucky
Feelings fOstered by the efforts
of the press), might act like a
chemical spark and produce a
reaction which little caution
would avoid. 1t is obvious that

growing sections, have entered
vigorously into the occupation of
tobacco growing in their respec-
tive countries and their several
colonies and dependencies.
Turning from the foreign to
the domestic field, not only is the
old Burley territory producing
a large crop, but because of high
prices and the migration of Bur-
ley territory in Kentucky, this
type of tobacco is now being sue
cessfuly raised in material guam
titles in Missouri, and in an:ex-
detrimental way in Illinois, as
well as in some other states
hitherto not engaged in Burley
production. The reports of the
success of Burley growers in
Missouri are especially cheerful,
indicating gratifying success and
a disposition to expand the in
dustry. With this increased
production and minimized con-
sumption, both foreign and dom
este, what is to be the result?
Our home manufactures can
consume only SO much, and if in
consequence of the aformention-
ed causes large surplus accum-
ulates for which there is no de-
mand, will the grower recognize
the legitimate causes for his en-
barrassment, or will he blame
imaginary prosecutors and seek
artificial means for remedying
real evils brought about largely
by his own indiscretions and
blindness to the operation of the
laws of causes and effect and
supply and demand?
In this connection it may be
properly remarked that the
breaks are better market on
which to sell tobacco than poll
tical meetings. The marts of
trade are better places to find
customers than legislative halls.
Cash buyers at fair prices are as
a rule, better customers than
pooling combinations, which
themselves in the last analysis
are subject to the law of supply
and demand, and the outcome of
which is, therefore, problemati-
cal, while at the same time in
yolying expense, inconvenience
and delay, and the Withholding
from circulation the money that
the cash buyer would provide for
the facilitation of trade in all of
its arteries.
These facts aud observations
suggest future contingencies I'M
pleasant to contemplate.
1t is both weak and fatal for
tobacco growers to close their
eyes to impending danger. The
sensible thing to do is to antici-
pate possible disaster by fore

originally induced it should not

Since the above consular re-
port was written trade reports
have been published to the eff
feet that Italy is purchasing
largely of tobacco raised in Bra :
I'll and elsewhere, and has laid
about three years. supply of such
tobacco.
In connection with these Ital :
ian trade reports, 1T is of inter
est to note that it is officially re-
parted that Brazil expected dur
ing the first four months of the
current year about 100000
worth more of leaf than she ex-
ported during the corresponding
four months of the year 1908.
This is highly significant, to say
the least.
In Bulletin 3400 Consul GEN
eral Robert j. Wynn, of London,
in discussing the British leaf to-
bacco trade, states as follows:
"The American leaf tobacco
trade in the United Kingdom
could not hold the modest posi-
ton it held in 1907. Its decline
is due chiefly TO the disturbed
conditions of affairs in Kentucky
and Tennessee"
On top Of these consular warn
ings comes the recent govern
ment showing, already widely
published, to the effect tina t
during the fiscal year ending
June 80, last, the United States
exported nearly forty-three mil
lion pounds less of leaf tobacco
than during the previous fiscal
year. When it is remembered
that there was also a falling off
shown for the fiscal year ending
june 30, 1908, the significance
OF these progressive, heavy de-
clines in export Of. leaf is dis
tqrbing. AD
I Ia this connection it is oppOr-
tune 20 state that our exports of
Burley to France have practical
ly ceased, because of prohibitive
prices, other grades having been
substituted, and it is doubtful if
this trade can ever be recovered
under any circumstances of
price conditions. The same Is
in a measure true of some other
countries to which we have here
tofore exported Burley tobacco
in more or less liberal quantities.
1t is also a well-known fact
that our shipments of leaf to
Japan are less than one-third of
what they formerly we're.
From the foregoing it is readi-
ly apparent that a great impetus
has been given to the growing
of tobacco in countries, hitherto
producing but little. 1t Is also
very evident that these foreign
grown tobaccoS are being largely
substituted for leaf formerly
rasied in the United States.
The reasons for the state of af.
fairs are frankly stated, in the
consular reports previously
quoted, as prohibltive prices and
unsettled conditions.
In this connection 1t is also
to state that the world
produces annually about 3,0O0,-
100000 pounds of leaf tobacco,
of which the United States pro-
duces less than one-third.
Therefore, the assumption on
the part of our leaf producers
that they have the only land in
the world that can grow the kind
of tobacco that the world wants
is fallacious. Foreign buyers
clearly indicate determination
to bring American grow ers to a
realizing sense of this fallacy by
obtaining their leaf supplies
elsewhere.

ON. Bulletin 3311 Deputy Con-
TIT General john w. Dye, Of
daylin, under the caption,
whsmeIican Tobacco in the Ger
Nm Market" uses the following
language:
n "For the past five years Amer
an leaf tobacco has largely
Julsh replaced bY1 tobacco from
Nova and Sumatra and to less
intent by tobacco from Santo
nSsOmingo. The cigar manufac-
,,fEers claim that they are not
dependent on American leaf to-
bacco, as Dutch East Indian to-
bacco now fills all requirements.
Rhe falling off in imports of
American tobacco into Germany
in the past few years is attrib-
uted to the relatively high price
of the American product COM
pared with tobacco from other
countries.
"The prediction is made by all
Those consulted that In case the
pxIees of American tobacco were
raieed the imports would de-
crease accordingly"
Mr.. Dye also stated that I'M.
pcgts of leaf from the United
States have fallen off 1,400 tons
since 1908. In this connection
il may also be stated that re-
sently Germany has heavily in
creased her import duty on leaf
toba2cos which will doubtless
fdfther decrease her imports
from the United States.
In Bulletin 1887 Vice Consul
