Maryland, and the Carolinas also exported large quantities of tobacco, and the whole annual export from the colonies has been estimated as high as 100, 000 hogsheads. Dr. Seybert in his Statistics of the United States, p. 112, states the exports of tobacco in 1803, at 86, 291 hogsheads, and in 1804, at 83, 343 hogsheads. t These facts show that there was very little increase in the quantity of tobacco annually exported from the United States, during a period of more than fifty years, from 1775 to 1830; but that the increase has been much greater during the last fifteen years. Though considerable quantities are cultivated in France, and other countries of southern Europe, yet the tobacco of America is preferred; and such is the universal custom and fashion of using it, that the demand seems to be increasing of late, in proportion to the ability of the people to pay for it. The duties levied on tobacco in Great Britain have been for some years, three shillings sterling per pound, or from 600 to 1200 per cent. , and all the countries of Europe have also imposed enormously heavy duties on it, and yet the people will have it; and the amount we export, as heretofore shown, and particularly the quantity in 1844, shows that it is not materially diminished by either European or American tariffs, so long as it is not so high as to be beyond the ability of the great mass of the labouring classes to pay . . .
