WINE AND PROTECTION.
What the Policy of This Government Has
Done for American Wine Producers.
TO Me Editor


NEW York, Oct. 21.A-From report lately
issued from the chamber of commerce of Bor.
deGux it is clearly shown that the influence oi
heavy duties upon the .wina. trale ,hy ffrlYlpe6t
| expectation of wines from France TO the United
Kingdom exceed 600OO,O00 francs annually
To the United States, on the contrary, where
the duties were increased almost cent per cent
on cheap wines the total expectation was less
than l200O0,0OO francs in each Of tho years of
lSo2 and 1855 or about onc.ffth of the exporta.
ton TO England although the population of
the United States is half us large again as that
of Great Britain.
During the last forty years the exppxation
oi french wines to the United STATED has
diminished more than onc-half notwitfistand.
ing the population of this great and prOsper.
ons nation has In thattime more than doubled,
while lts wealth has increased more than six
iold. Ihis proves cOnclusively that the
american tariff for French wines to q yery
large extent is in reality a prohibitiye one
as y restricts their consumption In the United
states TO about one-eighth of what ID would
be provided the duties were the same as in
England. In case they were, the consulnp.
| ton of French wines in the United states
would exceed lO0,OOO,OOO francs, instead of
l2OJOOOJ, MS at present. And had II not been
for the heavy duties imposed by them, which
so much encouraged the culture of wine
grapes in their extensive districts both on the
Pacihc and Atlantic and the manufacture and
production of competing wines for home con.
sumption and export then the above estimate
OF French wines made made by the chamber
of commerce of Bordeaux would be realized
The consumption of wine In Paris alone
during the year 1883 was lO3, ,70l, 1884 gallons.
while that of the United Kingdom for the
same year was only IA, 49,, 2S3 gallons of wine
of all countries, but of much higher quality
than the bulk of the wine consumed in
France
Certainly looking at the above figures and
estimates from our point of view we can see
clearly the results of the wise and iudlcious
policy OF our government in encouraging and
protecting this important branch of our indus.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA, April 25.-The
jury in the Frank James case to-day
rendered verdict of not guilty. They
were out three hours. The first ballot
stood nine to three for acquittal. Cheer
after cheer greeted the verdict from
the crowded audience, and many ac-
quaintances pressed forward and
shook Mr.. James by the hand.
Immediately upon the announce
ment of the verdict, Sheriff Rogers of
Cooper county, No., who sat
Just behind the prisoner, leaned
forward and arrested him on
an indictment pending against
him in BOonville, Mo-, for robbing n
train. One of James counsel states
that the arrest was made to protect
James from the authorities OF Min
nesota, where he Is indicted for the
| saltwater bank robbery and murder
of the cashier. 50 long as Il case is
| pending against him in Missouri it is
held he cannot be taken elsewhere. Ii
Is understood the Minnesota authori
ties were waiting TO arrest James upon
his acquittal, but were anticipated by
Rogers. The verdict gives universal
satisfaction. Mr. James leaves will
his wife for Missouri tonight.
