THE QUININE BRIGANDS.
How the Mckenzie Bill Brought Them
to Terms---A Million of Dollars
Saved TO the Public
in One Yaer.


Washington Postl
A reporter of the Post called yes
terday on the Hon. j. A.. Mckenzie.
Of Kentucky, to ascertain what had
been the practical operations of his
measure to takethe duty off of quinine.
which wa passed by the extra session.
In answer to an inquiry of that char
acter, Mr.. Mckenzie said:
1T has worked like a charm. 1t
has already resulted in saving hundreds
of thousands of dollars to che oonsum-
ers, and VII! cTentuate in a clear
saving of 1verG million per annum. "
There was a sharp advance in the
price soon after the passage of the
bill. How do you account for that ?'
ut was to be expected from the
fact that Messrs, Powers & Weight
man and RQsengartep g. Sons con.
trolled nearly the whole stock in the
country, and could practically dictate
what it would sell for until FOREIGN
quinine could be brought into oompe-
tition with the American products.
These gentlemen were probably play
ing football with the price for amuse-
ment, but they will doubtless get tired
Of it before the American congress
consents to restore the duty. They
announced, as | understand, that thew
would be pompellod 10 suspend mann
facture of the drug, but have since
thought better of their determination
and are at work again.
What has been the amount of de.
cline ?"
II find from the Druggists Circular
and the Chemical Gazette that in
July, 1879, date of tho passage of the
bill, the price of sulphate Of ouinine
vas 50 40 to 50 50, and the sulphate of
cinchonida 81 80 to 81 35 per ounce.
Now from SAME circular, of date of
December, 1879, the price of sulphate
Of quinine was 81 so to g 90, and [
am informed by a reliable firm of
druggists in this city that they have a
circular from Powers & Weightmhn
received within the past few days'
Offering to sell the sulphate at 81 Is
per ounce, This December circular
also quotes sulphate of cinchonida at
81 10 to 81 10 per ounce. Thus we see
that there has been a clear reduction
OF ninety cents per ounce on quinine
and twenty-five cents per ounce on
cinchonida, and this. too. during tho
sickliest season Of the year. The
amount Of the higher priced sulphate
consumed annually in this country Is
estimated at from 1000, 900 to l,5OO.-
600 ounces. So that, taking the
smaller amount, the clear gain to the
consumer is over 81, 000, 900 per an
num-"

Letter from Kate Field.I

ApftSl AlVW hdhp AlelNsl
Gladstone looks Ike a Webster in
small; his brown eye is as bright as
his intellect, his smile is very winning.
and, as a speaker, he is delightful. be-
cause he is colloquial. Got, the oldest
actor of the Theatre Francois, de-
clared last summer, when visiting
London, that the finest English actor
was in the House of Commons; his
name was Gladstone. 1t makes no
difference what subject is introduced,
this great speaker is always equal to
the occasion. If he were dragged out
of bed at 5 O'Clock in the morning and
told to square the circle, | believe he'd
deliver an Grafton on the possibility of
an impossibility, the ingenuity of
which would convince many and charm
all. He's a great man whether you
agree or disagree with him.
