Tobacco Is a product of great lm?
portance to the Amorlcati farmer "tid
Is tho most Important crop in large
lions of many States of tho Union.
Much of the tdbacco raised In Yir
ginla, Tennessee, Kentucky and oth
. r State is bought by the govern?
ments of Italy. Austria. Fiance, Spain
and Japan. There IS nowhere any
conipetlLlon between tttesc i*ovenn

b Whether this Is accidental or
by arrangement is a matter that la
disputed,
At any rate, all growers of tobacco
Who raise the class of tobacco tint

producer hns steadily declined ainl
unless Some relief Is afforded, these
men will bo forced to giv* up ral?!:..
a crop, which for generations has bei n
the moneyed crop of thole commuhl'.lia.
On the other hand, tiie governments
that buy, manufacture, and Seil this
tobacco derive enormous revenues
from It. which revenues are Increas?
ing from year t.. year. Italy received
as revenue oh tobacco last year oyet

?
and Japan and Spain v. ry l^jj-? reve?
nues, wh.II? the American farmers who
grow this tobacco did not get tho cost
of product ion.
This resolution provides for the bP
