TOBACCO WAS CASH
IN Colonial DAYS
Ministers Drew Down 5000
Pounds a Year Of Fragrant
Virginia Leaf

In the good old days the colony Of
Virginia, was not allowed the privilege
Of coming money, and as there wat
usually q balance Of trade against tn,
eOlonists, the exports 20 the mother
country did not bring back British gold
The little specie in circulation wal
Spanish coin. Consequently the plant
ers had recourse to tobacco az the
medium of exchange, and made theiI
contracts payable in leaf.
This custom wEs-FeguIated sin.. 1854
by an Act providing for FIVE ware
houses in which all tobacco intended 10
be used as medium of exchange should
he stored and properly inspected. After
some subsequent Tevisions Of the law, il
game to pass that the inspectors certi
fcates, issued from the legal ware
houses, became the most used currency
Of the colony. In il the expenses Of
government were estimated, and in II
both public and private dues were pay
able.
But Not Now
AS early as 1896 the salary of rector
Of the Church of England in Virginia
was fixed by statute at 10000 pounds of
tobacco, TO be levied by the vestry on
the parish. In las the law was re
enacted, and the new Act was approved
by the king. At this time, and for
some years afterwards, the value of the
inspected tobacco was rated at lbs. Sd.
per 100 pounds. This represented 30
per cent. advance on the value of TO-
hacco in 1895, when the salaries Of the
clergy had been fixed.
In October, 1855. the House of Bur.
gesses, finding that prolonged drought
had cut short the crop of tObaccO so
that il would be impossible for people
to pay their tobacco debts IN kind
Tassed an Act, to continue in force for
ten months, making il lawful for debt
ors to pay their tobacco dues and take.
in money at the rate of les. Sd for
every 100 pounds of tobacco.
Old Church Quarrels
Tobacco having risen in valuc in con
sequence of short crop, some of the
clergy were unwilling to foregO the ad.
vantage Of collecting their salaries in
kind, and addressed communication
to the diocesan, the Bishop of London
praying that he would exert his inhu-
encr TO have the Act annullrd by tn"
king.
On the meeting of the House Of Bur
gesses. in l7jS. it was again apparent
that the tobacco crop would b" short
so an Act, similar to that Of 1853. was
passed, to continue in force for one
year. Neither of these acts had the
usual clause suspending it's oneration
until the royal sanction was Obtained.
On this ground a representative Of
the Virginia clergy sent TO ENGLAND
pctitiOnPd for the veto Of the Act and
obtained an order in council There
upon he returned to Virginia, and
brought suit in the General Court TO
test the validity of the law, determined,
if defeated, to appeal to the King. Tn"
clergy lost the case, however, the will
of the people being stronger than the
fear of the King.
