Tiiey elaltn that the tobacco trade, tike mom ether brunches of business, has for sonie mouths past been greatly de pressed; and that in addition, it has been further disturbed by the proposed .Spanish treaty negotiated ky Mr. Tester ami new awaiting cotilirntatleu or rejection by the irnitcd Status Senate. It is generally eon ceded that the confirmation of tlie tienty would net seriously nlfect llte manufacturers of low grade cigars, as Iho A met Iran lear is ke iimch i'hcHicr than Cuba leaf, that the latter could net cotue In competition with it, even If It were Imported frcoef duty j but It Is claimed that tlie adoption of the treaty wouldbeade.ith-blow te the manufacturers of line cigars the se-called "Havana cigar?," It Is an open secret that thce domestie "I lav una" cigars are largely eouijiescd of llie bct.1 American leaf, with Just enough Cula toli-vee In them te swear by: mid yet they "ell at 10 cent each, orthrtefur a quarter. If tlie duty en the Imported cigar should be reduced, as It w ill be if tlie treaty is adopted, a cigar made of clear Havana could be sold as low as the domestic article Is new sold. The dlteriininatlng Miiekcr would of course ehoeso llie clear Havana, and the manufac turer of the dnincstiu Havana would find no sale, and he would have te shut up shop, and threw out of employment thousands of w ork erk men, In New Yet k and ether large cities. Tlie treaty if adopted would operate, it is claimed, against the grower of heed-leaf and Havana heed tobacco, by reducing the de mand for It, mi account of the superiority of tlie Ciitjii tobaere. The price of the domestic article would go down and the profits here tofore made by growers would no longer be realired. and they would hav e te rndtire tlieir acre-.tge and turn tlieir attention te the pro duction of a crop of Kemething mere profit able if such a one e.tu I hi found. It ts fair te suppose therefore that the to te to liacce grew ets of I.a!tcaMcr county will al most unanimously oppeso tlie ratification of the Sninish treaty. Many of them are al ready growling at the dealers, and ntthe newspaers tee, for urging them te plant Havana seed Instead of seed-leaf; and new that they have taken their ad vice and grew it a gruat crop of Havana, there is no market for it. Instead of being offered "30 cents through," us was last year ntil ami this year premised, they make no eilers t all. but shake their lieads and s.iy "while vein" and "no go-id." Our en ii opinion is, tlial the 'Hi crop is a geed ene tlieitgli it may wcigli lighter Hum tlie former had IiejhsI ; that thu present de pression in trade will pass off before long, and the tnlucte grower will sell ul! that he has raised ; and that tlie prices, if net se high as lie expected them te be, will Ik) high enough loaOent him a Isiter prellt titan he would have had by planting Ids fields in wheat or corn at the prices nt present prevail ing.
