How the Tariff Laws are Violated at

HOW the Tariff Laws are Violated at
Buffalo and Vicinity.
B~1atO, " y, Special Dec. o. to st. Louis
Repu6Iicdn.
An interesting statement was furnished
the press this evening by a prominent de-
tectiVe regarding enormous smuggling
operations here. The officer has given the
SUBJECT considerable attention, and finds
that clothing, silks, jewelry, whisky, to-
baccO, butter, ETC., are smuggled across
the Niagara river from Canada on a more
extensive scale than ever before Buffalo.
In fact, has become known as the head
centre OF complete and profitable system
OF sWlndling. The facilities afforded
for smuggling are unequaled at anv
other nQIt. For the last few
years the government has been unaccOunt-
ably negligent in the matter, Formerly
there were twenty-five Detectives guard
ing the frontiers from Niagara Fails to
Dunklrk; now there are only six or seven.
and none are employed at night, when the
principal part of the business is done.
thousands Of dollars worth of goods are
brought across the river in skiffs every
month during the summer months, and in
winter the same parties drive teams
across the ice for twelve miles. There are
saloon keepers in the city who buy in Can
ada every gallon of spirituOus liulor
which they sell. They know where to
find men at all times to smuggle CASH

tariff To- could be if there were no
-..Ws. Hundreds of well-dressed
men and women in this city get all of
their dry goods and clothing from Canada
without paying duty. The industry has
never been so vigorously pushed as at
present, but it is believed information has
been secured which will break it up. 1t
is said to be a common practice for small
lake crafts to stop at Canadian ports and
receive goods illegally consigned to par
ties here. The whole traffic is conducted
so openly that the officials may be accused
of gross negligence or of corruptly wink
ing at it. The present agitation of the
tariff question has a tenfOld interest to
business men of this community.

A Kansas County Treasurer the Alleged

Topeka, KAN, Dec. 12.-The bank at
Kinsley, Kan, was robbed on Saturday
night of $4,000. County Treasurer G. W.
Crawford had his Office in the same build
ing and had access to the banking rooms.
One report says the robbery has been
traced to Crawford by means of "a bunch
of keys and a glove, which were dropped
at the door of the vault, and that CraW-
ford has acknowledged his guilt and
agreed to surrender the stolen money,
which he had hidden somewhere outside
of Kinsley. This story is supplemented
by many others, but it is generally believed
that Crawford is someway implicated in
the robbery. He is Kept under guard at

The rapid decrease of the number of
national bank notes of the denominations
of 81 and 81 will soon enable the govern
ment to discover just what percentage of
the total issue has been lost or DESTROYED.
None of these notes have been issued
since January l, 1879, when the value of
those outstanding was nearly $4,000, 900.
The value of bank notes of these denomi-
nations now outstanding is less than
$1,000,000, but while the number of these
notes has decreased, the number of legal
tenders of the same denominations has in
creased more than $4,000, 900, the total
being nearly 500, 900, OOO These facts may
be interesting in connection with the for
tunes of the silver dollar. The loss nv
wear and tear in the circulation of banks
whose charters have been discontinued
has been found to be about three-fourths
of per cent.

Who Is Mrs. WinslOw?

As this question is frequently asked, We
will simply say that she is u lady who, fol-
upward of forty years, has untiringly de
voted her time and talent as female
physician and nurse, principally among
children. She has especially studied the
constitution and wants of this numerous
class, and, as II result of this effort, and
practical knowledge, obtained in a lifetime
spent as a nurse and physician, she, has
compounded Soothing. Syrup for children
teething. 1t operates like magic-giving
rest and health, and is moreover sure to
regulate the bowels. In consequence OF
this article, Mrs. Winsow is becoming
world-renowned as benefactor of her race;
children certainly do rise up and bless her;
especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Wins
low has immortalized her name by this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved from
an early grave by its timely use, and the mil
lions yet unborn will share its benefits and
unite in calling her blessed. No mother has
discharged her duty to her suffering little
one, in our opinion, until she has given it
the benefit of Mrs Winslow's Soothing
Syrup. Try it, mothers-try it now
