Further REASONS for Inlarging the TRADE to Russia , Humbly offer'd by the Merchants and Planters Trading to , and Interested in the Plantations of Virginia and Maryland .

I. HIS Czarish Majesty Himself , and the Great Men of his Court do already take Tobacco , and 't is certain if the Trade were open , that they might have it upon as easy Terms as our People in England , the Czar would grant a Liberty to Import it into his Dominions , where the People would be very forward for the Consumption of it , when besides their own strong Natural Inclinations to it , they should be Influenced by the Example of the Court.

II. If the Trade be restrained to so few hands as at present it is , 't is not reasonable to expect that a Liberty will be granted by the Czar to Import Tobacco into his Dominions ; because He will see that His People cannot be supplyed but at such Rates as those Merchants please to set upon it , the Monopoly being in so few hands , and He will be the more induc'd to inlarge or restrain the Trade as He shall see the President set by the Parliament of England , who are better acquainted with Trade .

III. If such a Liberty of Importation should be granted without the Enlargement of the Trade , it would be of no advantage to any body , but those few Merchants of the Company , who would not regard so much the Quantity exported from England , as the Profit they could get by it to themselves , and might always have Tobacco lying by them there , and yet not over-trade ( as they say ) nor would the Consumption increase ; As for Instance , If Spice were cheaper , more would be spent , but the Dutch East-India Company would not get more Profit .

IV. In a Free Trade to the Czar's Dominions by a moderate Computation , there might be consum'd yearly 20000 Hogsheads of Tobacco , the advantage of which to England would be as follows , viz. The first cost of the Negroes , to make it in the Plantations , will bring in One hundred and sixty thousand Pounds Sterling ; those Negroes will consume yearly above Twenty thousand pounds sterling in Goods carry'd from England ; It will imploy yearly 40 Sail of Ships ( of Two hundred Tuns each ) to the Plantations , and ten or twelve more to Russia , which Ships will imploy 1500 Seamen ; the Manufacturing this Tobacco in England before it is Exported will Imploy about Ten thousand poor People , besides all the Charge of Importing and Exporting , which will Imploy many more ; All which will be so much in Price to those that Buy it after the Exportation , and will add so much to the Ballance of the Trade of England .
