Since the advent of Sumatran wrappers, the indus- try has been considerably depressed, because the use of Sumatran wrappers displaced great quantities of domes- tic leaf. This Sumatran leaf is no better in appearance than the best American wrappers, and is destitute of 379 380 TOBACCO LEAF. quality or aroma, but is used because it is so light and thin that but two pounds of it are required to wrap 1000 cigars, whereas four to ten pounds of American leaf are needed to cover that number of cigars..., owing to the heavier weight of domestic wrappers, which, however, are superior in other respects. This Sumatran leaf got its foothold in the American market by the grossest cus- toms frauds. The tariff of 1883 imposed a duty of 75 cents per pound on leaf suitable for cigar wrappers, but this was avoided by importing Sumatran leaf as fillers at only 35 cents per pound. Government was thus swin- dled out of millions of revenue, while at the same time domestic leaf was driven out of the home market.
