learned about while talking with
the men in the places I have men-
and they throw some light
on the present it these
things are true, they show that the
American Tobacco Company is whet-,
ting its against others besides
the tobacco growers,
there is the talk about the
American Tobacco Company having
enough tobacco stored away to last
one, two or even three years. While
that may he true the statement is in
the nature of a bluff. The American
Tobacco has enough
tobacco ahead for one or two years.
It has to do this in order to get the
tobacco in the right condition to use.
In my opinion they have got just
the usual stock on hand.

had with the Continental last year
forced the price up far higher than
the average price that had been paid
before, way above it. Having ab-

Tobacco Company is now driving
the price of tobacco down no that it I
may recoup for money it paid
out last year. The company is buy-

and here is a matter
shows a deep laid plan of campaign
against a boycott of its goods by
American Tobacco Company. It is
whispered it contemplates open-
up retail stores in all the
pal places, and these stores it will
not only handle tobacco supplies,
but it will deal in other goods. It
will be a retaliatory measure put in
operation against merchants who
dare to oppose the giant trust. These j
stores, it is said, will not be run as
American Tobacco Company stores,
be worked and
in individual names.
The American Tobacco
Company is considering the raising
of tobacco direct. It may do this
either by leasing tobacco lands or
by buying them outright. This
would do away with every of
middle-man and from the seed to
the cigar, cigarette, smoking tobacco,
snuff and plug there would be the
ramifications of a trust that is ready
and willing to crush all who are now
in tobacco. It is also said
that men in the employ of the
American Tobacco Company are
cultivating and watching tobacco
farms so as to see exactly how cheap
tobacco can be raised, and thus
entirely freeze out the
We hardly know just what to
think of to take it
seriously or regard it as a bluff.
However, there is one of the
the third, that we want to mention
now. If the trusts thinks it could
retaliate a boycott by opening
pendent stores in the principal places
and work them in in-
names, without the people
knowing it, it is badly fooled. Under
such circumstances what would be
easier than to tell it was a trust
store by the fact that it handled
trust goods. To retaliate against
the merchants not amount to
a row of pins if the and con- ,
sinners were n the merchants
