How to Make Qufnfne Cheaper.
To the Editor Of The CHICAGO Tribune.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Congress has lately re-
duced the tax on quinine, and still the price
is high. If we consider the immense guam
titles of other alka1oids produced in the
manufacture of quinine and Of equal medi-
cina1 value with quinine, we must come to
the conclusion that the high price of quinine
is an artificial one. There is no qui,1ine
made without also gaining three other aka
loids,-the quinidia, the cinchonldia, and the
cinchonia- The first Of these three by-prod-
cents per ounce, while the qulnine ranges
from S3.75 to $3.50 per ounce. Let US now
see what these cheaper alkaDids amount to.

Chicago has increased in population and iinpor-
tance with wonderful rnpidity since 1830; but
changes have been Nude IN the policy OF the
United States within the last seven years which
must check its growth. What matters It that 1t
lies just in the highway Of commerce with Can

native industry, MIR. Morrill, is authorized to pre-

Dangerous Holes In Streets.


CHICAGO, Jan. IFS it not criminal care
lesness if the officers of the Board Of Public
Works are informed, as can be proved by the
complaint-book, that dangerous holes exist
in the middle of lie roadbed of a street, in
consequence of the settling of the ground,
where the city had catch-basins built, and
nothing IS done for weeks to remove the
danger?
Such is the case on C1ybourn avenue, at the
intersection of Willow street. To pay every
year thousands and thousands Of dollars for
broken limbs, and other damages. when a
few dollars spent in time would have pre-
vented most of the accidents, is now the
practice Of our Democratic Public-Works
officer.
Two weeks ago Aid. Adam Meyer asked
Mr.. Fogarty, Superintendent Of Streets, in
my presence, to fill the then existing holes on
Clybourn avenue, as a fire-engine could not
pass over the street. "Let the houses be
burnt them: was the reply Of the Democratic
Superintendent Of Streets. G. Il.

4. CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Now that the time has
come for making the appropriations for the
year, I wish you to use your influence to
have them made as large as possible, for this
reason: You would suppose that by reduc-
ing them, as has been done for the past three
years, that taxes would be less, but nothing
of the kind. Ihave lived in the same house
for the past three years. Ny tax in 1877 was
S13; in 1878, Sl4, and this year have received
and pay SIT. Perhaps my furniture has inl-
proved by use, but wife for some reason does
not think so. Now think we had better try
large appropriations and see if that will not
reduce taxes. A CONSTANT READER.

West Jackson Street Improvement.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Many of the property
owners on West Jackson street are anxious
| to know whether they have been tricked into
worthless improvements; for twelve inches
of macadam stone, with q top dressing Of
three inches of gravel, is little less than
worthless Indeed, it has been demonstrated
stone will not stand heavy trucking.
West Polk street, from Ogden to Western
avenue, is to-day fair sample of that kind Of
pavement, and is covered with six inches of
tion. whether we have had a fair deal in the
matter of this Improvement To day, wishing
toaknow who the petitioners for it are, I
stepped INTO the office where the petition
should be on file, but only q small portion Of
who has it in charge, that after it had been
presented to the Council, 1t was taken away
to get further signatures; which would seem
a Strange firing 70 do after the improvement
was ordered. Now, the question is, What
has become of it, and why is it spirited
away?
There was q petition also circulated in
favor of Capt Connect as Superintendent, in
case the improvement should be made, which
MAJ many, signed.:myself !. among the number
can it be that these names have in some mys-
terious manner been added to the list Of
those desiring it
NOW, Will you please inquire into this mat
ter in behalf of those who are opposed to
shoddy improvement, as we'll as to being
tricked into an improvement of any kind?
Give us bona, ,f1de List Of those who signed
for it. G. B.. CARTER.
Coal Expenses In the Interest Of the
Poor.
Io the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-The many people in this
city who buy their coal by the basket are pay
ing at the rate of $40 to S11 per ton, while
good Lackawanna coal is plenty in the city
at Sc per ton and under. The statutes of
Illinois give no legal standard for the size Of
baskets. When one buys coal by the basket
he takes his chances on its being big basket
or little one. One prominent coal-dea1er
asserts that the baskets in common use,
when well filled, will contain from sixty-fiye
to seventy pounds. But, if a person buys
coal by the bushel, the dealer is bound, un-
der State penalty, to give eighty pounds to
the bushel. .
Sec. Z Of Chap. lat Revised Statutes Of ILL
nois reads as follows:
"Whenever any Of the following articles
shall be contracted, or sold, or delivered, and
no special contract or agreement shall be
made to the contrary, the weight per bushel
shall be as follows, to-Wit:
