THE PRICE OF TOBACCO.
" Tt
Reports frpw different tobacco bjmi -
£ets agr.ee that the pnoe of leaf tobacco y,
has very appreciably improved within th
tfia last few weeks. I'o not deceive so
yourselves, however, into thinking that
this fitful rise io the price 0} the leaf 1.- Q
to be attributed toun increasod demand, (°
and that you will v be able to sell the
sauie quantity of the crop of 1888 at
the same price as in tin past, and that w
it would, therefore, be 10 vonr interest te
to plant the same acreage in the weed ai
next year as in former years. There is
as much manufactured tobaooo in Win- ®
ston today as would supply its trade tot
• •
the next twelve mouths, and it is saiu |
that there is enough leaf in this section or
to meet the actual demands of the nun- st
ufaotories for four years to come. In is
regard to the rise in the pri.'o of the ut
leaf an exchange says :
it
"The present boom in the prtco of
tobacco is the most solid that has been
known to the trade for years. Unlike
Uie recent squall it the coffee business
the boom in tho price of tobacco this
yeai is not controlled by speculation.
Very few speculators, comparatively
have bad any idea that tobacco would
make such a jump and their purchases
have had little to do with tho rise
Tba truth of the matter is that tobacco
has been bought up by the manufactur
ers. They know that it was low and I
that tho time was an opportune one to e
got a good supply ufl baud Hence they I
have been buying largely at the Spring I
and have taken up the bnlk of the of- s
faring*. Upon the top of this came the 1
intelligence of an 1887 crop shortago 1
and an 1887 short acreage— all com- 1
bfniog to make tho boom solid. Prices 1
are up— high up--and up solidly, and 1
likely to remain to for months to oouie." 1 
We are doubtful that the excitement |
pjDOOg tiaSc dealers and mantlfiiclurers
at thu present time in New York by
•biob prises (or leaf tobaoco have in- ]
creased from fifty k> * hundred per cent
daring lust month will have a perman
ent effect on the prise of thu loaf. We
regard this boom as a speculative move.
Tbe N. Y. Evening Post says
•'Manufacturers have b>ea sending up
their price* in response to the detuauds
wade upon them by controllers of the
leaf supply. On plug tobacco alone
the Lorillards have advanced their
wholesale price 9 cents per pound dur
ing tbe past three weeks. Upperman,
manufacturer:', have kept pace with them
and Western manufactures who incited
the rivalry of low price? a few years
back, have not been able to keep out ot
tbe present movement. The causes of
tbe increase are complex, but the chief
immediate cause is speculative enter
prise. Mr. Lyall, of tbe firm of Kucb
anan & Lyall, said this afternoon ; To
baoco which sold for 9 and 10 cents a
pound three mvnths ago is now worth
fr»m 20 to 25 cents per pound. The
rise is due to tbe increased demand, and
this is traceable to the fact tbe crop plan
ted this year is not more than fifty to
»ixty per oent. o! last year's. Then the
drought we huve had wiil reduce the
yield to a much lower point than the
diminished tillage would represent. Tbe
crop this year will certainly be small,
but what its amount will be nil! not be
knowc with certainty until some three
weeks bcnoc."
All oyr farmers continue to give good
reports 0/ (be condition of the crops.
There aire some croakers, however, who
do not sec that our times will be im
proved by tbe unusually good grain
harvest, and the prospeot of a heavy
eoru crop, and full yield of vegetables,
on account of the acreage of tobacco
being reduced one-third. These nar
row minded men consider tobocco to be
our only money ciop and that prosperous
times are dependent on tbe gjeater the
quantity of leaf grown without regard
(O ita quality.
There is • Tory decided change be
tween tbe mpoth of Jul/ of this ypar
and the samo month of Inst veai. There
had been so little suntaer heat during
Jane aud July last year that we cnuM

Sotno think that it requires a rail
road and that a railroad alone is noed
ed to make us all rich aud prosperous.
This is » delusion. Corporation* do
not build railroads simply u- benefit a
country, but they build thorn to enrich
themselves It will cost a mint of mon
ey to construot a railroad across tho
ridges and mountains, of Ashe, Allegha
ny aud Watauga counties. There is a
railioad across tbe mountains at Ashe
ville, aod another »t Marion. These
connect the great cities east of us with
those west of us, aod leave little hope
that another lino will attempt for the
present to break through these moun
tains We arc aware that this is a
gloomy view of tbe matter and you no
doubt feel inclined to nige the argu
ineut that oar mineral deposits are auio
to bring railroads info our section. This
Uiay be sometime, bnt we fear, not now.
Many other immense mineral deposits
are yot more acsessable, aod will be
worked first. Our's will cmuo in time,
bnt that whicb will come a generation
frnqi this is not of such vital importance
to tho people of to-day aj to cause much
enthusiasm. Again we urge tho tact

di§ AiifOtit N: J*.. AVTMI.
For many years my wife had been
the victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing and apparently in
curable type from which so many of her
sex suffci, languish and die. It was all
the worse because the tendency to it
was inherited. She had been under the
systematic treatment of many of the
best physicians in New York andllrook
lyn ami cl> where for twenty y .irs with
only tem|>orary relief. Ii fact, there
were few, if any, kinds of food that did
not distres- her, so diseased, sensitive
and torpid were all the organs of :'.ii;cs
tion. The usual symptoms of d> spep
sla, with its concomitant ailments, were j(
ail present —bad taste in the mouth,
tfuil . yes, .old t'eft and hands, the s"i\se
of a load upon tile stomach, tend*. i uc.-.s
on pressure, indigestion, giddiness,
great weakness ;ilid prostration. and fu
gitive pains in the .-.ides, ch -st and back.
I have otte:-. risan in tho night and ad
ftiiuistertd -t:.railants merely for thc
sake of the -i«ht and transient relief I
th-y gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the ease and making
every symptom more pronounced and •
intense. liy thi> time ihe pneutno
gastric nerves had become very seri
ouslv involved, am' she had chr.'iiiv.
l»a»iiuiv and also what 1 may be al
lowed to call chronic intermittent ma
laiial fcvei ill at once. For the latter
thephysie t.in-prcserihed the good, old
fashioned. shoet-ani.h.'r remedy, Quin
ine gradim!!) in> rc -i-inj.- the doses, until
—incrediiiie is it may >e"m —she actu

About 'his tune 1 met soually my
friend Mr. Norton, a ineinl»er of the
rinn of Cptiicc'.-y Titus \ Company,
brokers, of Al!ia;»y, who, on hearing i
from me there facts, said: * Why, 1
have been tluonyh almost the same
thing, ami have got over it." * What
cured you?" i asked eagerly. " Kas
kine," he said, " try it for your wife."
1 had seen Kaskiue advertised, but had
no more faith in it than I had in saw
tin*! foi sucli a at hers. Mrs.
llai. tvm no highei opinion, yet on the
stiengtV-t T HI) H; .I d\re emenda
tion I grit a bottle Hid began its use
as directed.
Now recall what I have already said
8> to her then condition, and read
what follows: Under the Kaskme
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
ih&wni instant improvement, and the
daily fever giew less and soon ceased
altogether Side by side these diseases
vanished, as side by side they had tort
ured thcii victim for ten years—the
dyspepsia alone having, a* I have said,
existed for twenty years. Herappetite
improved from week to week until she
0 ;.ld eat a. I .st !iie average food
that any w. II person takes, without any
s'.itt'er.ng oi im oiivenienee. With re
neived a .siuiilation of food came, ot
1 mrse, a steady increase in flesh, until
she now k*>ks like hei original self.
She still fake K askim: occasionally,
but with ii" real need of it, for she is
well. I eoijjidei this result a scientific
miracle, and the " New Quinine " isen
titled to the credit of it, for from the
time she began with Kaskine she used
no other medicine whatever.
If you think a recital of these facts
calculated to do good you art welcome
to make them public
