Threatened with Extinction

According Ia the report of the I
). Department of Commerce, April
20. the United States j. the greatest
producer of tobacco in the world, and
the greatest exporter, the the great
est importer, and the greatest con
,umcr. Our production of leaf If all
sorts averages somewhat more than
,0oO.OOO,OOO pounds n year. having
n value IL the producers of about
800 100000. An enormous quaint
~ is cyported-considerably more
than third of the production IN
normal years-for the sales of to.
bacco abroad are cxcellcd by only
seven of the many products America
sends to other countries. II is not
generally known. however. that this
immense industry is threatened with
extinction. The same forces which
are operating against liquor intend to
take up tobacco next" The Won
ems Christian Temperance Union i
leading the fight. The objects of he
union are the total suppression of the
sale and use of both il
luor and tobacco. Liquor was taken
mp first, hut the organization is al
ready at work to suppress the to-
bncco industry. At the last conven-
lion of the Kentucky W. c. T. L. II
resolution was passed condemning
tobacco on the grounds of morality
and for the benefit of the public. The
Ohio convention also attacked to-
bacco aud the same forces succeeded
in having a bill introduced into the
last session of the Louisiana legisla-
ture seeking to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of the weed in that
state.
