Senator Quay, after he had heard Of
tho Presidents message last evening,
had kind of "I-told-you so" air that
was almost amusing. 1t is an open Sc
cret at the Republican headquarters
and among his friends at the Everett
House that Senator Quay's great anx-
iety to have Congress adjourn without
constructing a new tariff bill has been
not altogether on account of his distrust
of the ability of his Republican follow
Senators to tinker successfully with the
tariff, but on account of the liability of
the President 10 take advantage of
events and do something akin to his
great message Of last December. Sena-
tor Quay has great respect for the
Presidents astuteness, and has been
fearing all along that something would
happen disadvantageous to his party if
the Republican Senators would not per
nit Congress to adjourn and go home

Bagging and lies.
TNickSSllrr pOst.7

[Vicksburg Post.1
A New Orleans States reporter has
interviewed Mr.. Barj. Gra'z, one Of The
chiefs of the Begging Trust, which he
claims is only a scorner" and inspired
by the dread that the passage Of tho
Mills bill will ruin the bagging mills
and the desire to mako all they can be-
fore that time. Mr.. Gratz and his part
ners know full we'll that nothing but a
miracle could pass the Mills bill through
the Senate, but any excuse will serve
their turn. lie says the price of bag.
cling will be advanced Ia of cent a
week until Is cent yard is reached
He does not believe the price will go
above Is cents.
In answer to query as to the truth
of a report that the price Of ties would
be advanced, Mr.. Gratz said:
"Well sir, there is u good deal in it.
Byran and Myles, Warren, Jones and
Gratz, and Mcmillan Sons have pur-
chased all the spot ties and now own
about 10000 bundles available for this
market within the next thirty days, and
which vessels are now bringing here.
This constitutes nearly all tho stock in
sight 80 far as l know. You can say
that we will take great pleasure In SELL
ing these to our friends at 81 so II bum
die. The ties cost about 95 cents a
bundle. That is all I've got to say
about this matter"
1t is evident that the planters must
fall back on ropes or wire for ties, and
osnaburgs for bagging, in order TO es-
cape the Vaccinations of these specu-
tators. Osnaburgs will answer every
purpose as a wrapping for cotton, and
would be cheaper than bagging at Is
cents yard, but the supply is limited
and it would take at least 70,OOO,OO0
yards to wrap the entire crop. Credu-
ious persons and those unacquainted
with tho realities of commerce may
think it an easy matter to obtain such a
quantity of material suitable as sub
stitute for jute bagging, but practical
business men will recognize its difficult
ty and improbability at a glance.
| Senator Reagan of Texas has intro
duced in the Senate Il bill that Will fit
the case Of Mr.. GratZ and his accom-
pliccs exactly. 1tprovidcs for the pun
| ishment of the members of "trustS,"
"corners" and "coubines" by fines of
