The Coming Crash.

New York, 2O.-The Times: We shall
open the winter with almost every kind
Of household accessories dearer, and
every producer suffering under short
crops. The drouth has cost this country
hundreds of millions Of dollars, and re
duced the producing capacity OF large
classes. 1t is not improbable that this
severe blow will givs the first check to
the wild speculation which is going on in
stocks, products and railroad securities;
The shock was sure to come, and 1t Will
be first felt by the most uncertain values
such as the enormous extension of raj
roads 10 the south west. High prices end
hard times will enforce the call for a re-
adjustment OF the tariff. The farmer
who has lost this year SO per cant. OF his
products, and has not as yet been able tr
recoup himself by higher prices, will be
gin seriously to object to paying from 81
to so per cent. tax on his clothing, OF
machinery, or furniture for the sake o
filing a treasury which already has mor'
than it knows what to do with.

for money to defray whose expenses you
made application Scoville replied: "I
came into this case only few days ago,
without knowledge of single person
in the east whom might call as an ex-
pert on insanity. Firmly believing my
self in the insanity of the prisoner, de-
termined If necessary to act upon the
presumption that any competent expert
in such cases, upon full investigation,

TO that letter, nor have received dollar
from any source. If had means to pay
you or any expert. I would ask your
attendance in Washington before the
trial, and a careful investigation of the
case. Due preparation for trial on my
part, can only be made in that manner,
but as I have not money to pay for such
services. the only course open to me is
to summon the bes. experts I can hear of
at a venture, and under the law require
their attendance on the trial until all the
facts are developed and then depend
upon their conscientious regard for truth
and justice, to state their conviction.
