THE TRUTH ABOUT ou1N1NE.
Mr.. Atkinson Exposes FavoTite 6oph-
istry OF the Free Traders.

In the cause of the tariff debate in the
House. Mr.. Atkinson, Of Pennsylvania. scored
what Major Mckinley in congratulating him
said was one of the best points that has been
made. The remarkable drop in the price of
quinine after it was put upon the free list in
1879, has frequently been cited by Demo
cratic orators az an illustration of the benei-
cient results of Free Tree. Prior TO 1878
the duty on quinine was Is per cent; then il
was reduced to 20 per cent. and in 1879 was
pat on the free list When it was dutiabie
az 20 per cent il sold in the London market at
81 81 per ounce. In 1887 it sold in the same
market at fifty cents an ounce. eff this de-
cline of 80 per cent" said Mr.. Atkinson, ''in
the price Of quinine in London 10 due to the
removal of 20 per ceat of duty in the United
States our legislation must have wonderful
effect outside this country"
He then in d few sentences explained the
real reason for the wonderful decline, show
ing that previous To 1877 the cinchona trees
from the bark of which quinine is extracted,
grew only in the wild mountain regions of
South America. Access to them was so un-
certain that in 1877 outline sold for "a an
ounce in London because Of the civil war in
New Grenada and low water in the Magda-
lena River. Then the Dutch a1d English
began growing the tree in Java and the East
Indies. and have succeeded so well that their
plantations last year yielded 100000 lbs.
The bark Of the cultivated tree yields TO IL
per cent instead of 2, and the improved ma
chinery has shortened the process of extrac-
ton from about twelve days to ten hours
This" he said, lis the true explanation Of
the decline in the price of quinine. The
only effect of putting it upon the free list had
been to increase our importations from H.
$40 ounces in 1873 to 2,ls0.l57 ounces in
1887 and to break up American manufactur-
ers until there were now only three firms in
America making quinine.
When the American supply was made in
our own country, it came from manufactur-
ers who had reputation to maintain and who
put pure article upon the market. Now no
man can tell whether what he buys is adul-
terated or not. Experiments must be made
upon sick man to determine how much for
eign quinine will produce a given result.
The amount of the duty has not any appre-
ciable effect on the price to the consumer
At 20 per cent on its present price of fifty
cents an ounce it would amount to two and a
half cents on 100 grains and he submitted
finally that when people were sick it wa,
good rather than cheap medicine they wanted

PRINcEBIsMARCKs SCRAP BOOK.
Tho German Chancellors Intimate Ac-
quaintance with Newspapers OF All
Countries.



Prince Bismark refers to the words of the
press as nothing but printers ink spread on
paper" But no man reads the papers more
diligently than he. Besides personally read
ing every day dozen or more of the leading
journals from various European capitals he
keeps a staff of from four to six clerks con-
stantly at work, like the exchange editors in
"A newspaper office, scanning the columns of
hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of papers
from all parts of the world. and clipping out
every item that can possible be of interest to
him. These clippings, with the names and
dates of the papers from which they are
taken, are carefully classified, and indexed,
and pasted in enormous scrap books. These
volumes form conspicuous feature in the
Chancellor's private library. There is one
lettered on the back Socialism" another
France Military" another France
Civil" another Russia" another "Cul-
turkampt. and so on. Each volume is sub
divided into chapters and all SO carefully
indexed that the statesman can in IA moment
turn to what has been said BY any particular
paper on any particular subject.
This vast encyclopedia is made use of in
many ways. A gentleman from Chicago a
few years ago called on Prince Bismarck,
armed with note of introduction from the
German Minister at Washington. The Prince
received him cordially, and after few gen.
eral remarks said II see that your Chicago
papers arr pitching into me on the pork ques-
ton" And then he went on to quote the
exact language the various papers had used,
and replied to their arguments. ''He told
me" said the gentleman, more about the
Chicago papers and the pork packing in
dustrics than | knew myself, though | have
lived there all my life. And before left in
came Congressman -, from California,
and the Prince at once turned on him with
lot of talk about the silver question, and
what the Pacific coast newspapers were say
ing about it"

What Can They Do About It?

From the New York Evening Post (Mug.) ]
The painful truth is that we doubt if a
single independent voter in this State, of the
ten thousand who supported President Cleve-
land in 1884, any longer attaches any i'm
portance to the utterances of the members of
the administration on the subject of civil SER
vice reform, or any longer refuses TO believe
that the Presidents promises and professions
have been violated or disregarded on great
scale. with the utmost boldness, in sundry
places and divers manners, and that men like
Judge Maynard and Surveyor Beattie have
actually been detailed or told off to practice
as much civil service abuse as can be readily
concealed or disguised when they are found
out and exposed.

Tell 1t AL

Col. Irish of the Alta in q speech
at Oakland told his audience THAT
the rebellion was brough: on by
unjust taxation.
Why did not the eloquent Colon
ell tell his hearers the whole story?
The South forced protective tariff
on the North.
The North quickly adopted itself
to the situation by going into manu-
featuring industries and the South
was too lazy to get out OF its old
ruts.
Then the South kicked up q row
and wanted free trade.
The South said naturally enough t,
"You have forced US into protec-
ton, we have tried 1t and like it,
YOU have failed to take the adyan-
tage of the situation and now want
us to change back to your old fash
ION way. We decline"
Then the South began to sulk
and preach notification and then
it went to war and got licked be-
cause it was wrong.
That is the whole history of the
case

To Prevent rraud.

Several parties. who fear some
lob will be sprung next Saturday
by reason of surroptitious split tick
cts, are asking how 1t will be pos
sible to prevent some outside Dem
ocrats getting those tickets printed,
ETC., etc
The APPEAL would suggest that
the proprietors OF the APPRAL and
Tribune each sign an agreement
not 10 print any tickets OF any de-
scription on Saturday, and also, to
ensure against split tickets being
printed in Reno or Virginia, to
have the candidates at the meeting
on Thursday night select some dis
tinguishing mark, and have some
person whom they may select
stamp this with indellible ink on
the back of the ticket, so that when
it is folded the mark may be seen.
The Judges could see as each vote
went in that it was the regular
ticket. authorized by the candi-
dates, and if tickets were handed
in without such stamp, the candl-
dates could be informed of it, and
the origin OF these tickets soon fer
reted out.
After the stamping OF these
tickets was done, the stamp could
be destroyed in the presence OF the
candidates on Friday night and on
Saturday morning theycould all join
in saying, 'sThe game is made
let her 60 Gallagher"
