WHAT THE DRUGGISTS WANT.
A Stable Tariff and Oar Home Markets
Not Thrown Open to Unlimitsd Foreign
Composition.


Not Thrown Open to Unlimitsd Foreign
Competition.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 22.--The mem
bers of the drug exchange held their annual
meeting here this afternoon. The annual
report alludes with pleasure to the repeal of
the law taxing the sales of patent medicines,
aud says that it is pertinent to inquire IT, it
be desirable to have perfect freedom Of trade
between the various states Of tho country; if
internal taxes were not imposed as war
measure; if internal taxes have not always
been distastefnl to the people Of the United
States, and If tho tax on distilled spirits
and malt liquors has diminished their con-
sumption. The importance of stable tariff is
referred to and the hope is expressed that
the subject will be we'll considered before our
great homo markets shall be thrown open to
unlimited foreign competition. The report
further urges our Legislators to mako a
critical examination Of the causes Of the de-
cline in our shipping and the best methods of
recovering our lost position.
Committees on tariff revision and tho de-
cline in shipping were appointed and reso-
luton adopted in favor Of national bankrupt
law. Officers for the year were also elected.

The Commlttse ON Banlslng and Curreney

The proposition of Representative Potter,
of New York. to substitute 2 per cent.
twenty five year bonds for bonds now in ex-
istence, WAS discussed by the house committee
on banking and currency yesterday. No vote,
however, was taken. The committee is
awaiting tho action of the senate finance
committee before deciding upon bill to re-
port to tho house. Representative Hunt, of
Louisiana, offered resolution declaring
that the public welfare demands that the
benefits of the national banking system be
substantially preserved and continued for the
time being" The resolution was informally
discussed, but no action was taken.
Considerable opposition has been mani
tested to the bill recently introduced by Rep
resentative Buckner, providing for the issue
of treasury notes without legal tender quail
ity TO take the place of bank notes going out
of existence. The bill has not been consid-
cred in committee. A member said yesterday
that expressions Of opinion regarding 1t on
the part of members Of the committee had
been sufficiently general to warrant positive
prediction that the bill would not receive the
approval of majority of tho committee.

tier" as craftsman would say, i'd est,
of cheating the railroad company. His
idea, TO say the least of it. was ingenious,
but he had reckoned without his most.
He procured two stout pieces of rope,
which he fastened TO the axles of the
carriage, leaving a moose at the end of
each. Into one moose he put his legs,
while inserted his shoulders into the
ether In tins position he hung when
the train started. The train was an ex-
press, and did not stop until Crewe was
reached, which is about. 20 miles from
Liverpool. He was rather uncomforta-
when the train began to move, but when
it got into full swing he had real torture,
taffd when he reached Crewe he was
hearly dead With fright. Here Ire was
taken into custody. To the magistrate
who adiudicatedo on the case he explained
that his sensations when swaying to and
fro were something awful and the effect
of the sleepers as they rushed past HIM
nearly robbed him ofreason and he was
afraid that every moment the rope would
slip from his shoulders and hang him.
Tha magistrate decided very. .cutely
that, he had, had enough punishment
and remar king very sagely that he wal
not likely to repeat the experiment sen
him about his business. An excursion
on the stick ola Congrove rocket en- thu
tail OF a comet might, be more exciting
than this, but not much. .-.,.. ........
