Mr. Dye also states that

since 1903. In this connection
it may be stated that re-
Germany has heavily
increased her import duty on
leaf tobacco, which will doubtless
further decrease her import from
the United States.

This is highly significant, to say
the least.
In Bulletin Consul Gen-
Robert J. Wynne of London,
in discussing the British leaf to-
trade, states as
American leaf tobacco
trade in the United Kingdom
could not hold the

is due chiefly to the disturbed
condition of affairs in Kentucky
and
On top of these consular warn-
comes the recent govern
showing, already widely
put to the effect that
the fiscal year ending June
last, the United States ex
ported nearly forty-three million
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 1903, the significance
of these progressive, heavy de-
in exports of leaf is dis-
It this connection it is
tune to state that our exports of

prices, other grades having

raw material, and is if be

is in a measure true of some
other countries to which we have
heretofore exported Burley to-
in more or less liberal
liberal quantities.
It is also a well-known fact

Until 1904-6 the prices of Ken-
remained low, and even
fell year to year. But
since that time they have been
ruing by giant strides. A wide-
spread alarm has been awakened
in Italy, and the government
which the United States produces
less than one third. Therefore,
the assumption on the part
our leaf producers that they ham
the only land in the world that
can grow the kind of tobacco
that the world wants is fallacious
Foreign buyers clearly indicate
a determination to bring
can growers to a realizing
of this fallacy by obtaining their
leaf elsewhere.
In short, foreign s. it

consequence of the
causes a large surplus
accumulates for which there is

his embarrassment, or will he
blame imaginary persecutors and
seek artificial means for remedy-
real evils brought about
largely by his own indiscretions
and blindness to the operation of
the laws of cause and effect and
supply and demand
In this connection it may be
properly remarked that the
breaks are a better market on
which to sell tobacco than
meetings. The marts of
trade are better places to find
customers than legislative halls.
Cash at fair prices are,
as a rule, better customers than
polling combinations, which
themselves in last analysis are

demand, and the outcome of
