The tax on tobacco.
Louisville, Ky., December 23.
--This morning's newspapers publish an elaborate article on the subject of taxing leaf tobacco, written by a gentleman fully conversant with the subject.
He takes strong ground against the position assumed by the Tobacco Convention recently held at the Cooper Institute, New York, He contends that the proposed taxing of leaf tobacco would be injurious alike to Government, the planter and the maufacturer.
This is a matter of deep interest to the people of Virginia.
Those of them who manufacture tobacco will be likely to favor the New York proposition, while those of them who raise that plant will be apt to concur with the views of the Louisville writer.
