Pen usylvania, Illinois, Mississippi and

THE Northern branch Of the Presby-
terian Church is not yet ready to
accept the condition of the union laid
down by the Southern branch, which
is, namely, that the colored Presby-
serians shall not be a park OF
the Organic union" This is the
old difference, as great and difficult of
removal as ever, and Notwithstanding
the honeyed words which passed be-
tween the delegates OF the two
branches on Wednesday the breach is
as wide as ever. There is a feeling
in the gathering at PhiIadel-
phia that the matter ought to be
allowed to rest another year without
disturbing it in the least, not even tc
the extent Of adopting a resolution
declaring that "our church is not il

bers into a separate, independent or

caution. for none of us will live TO se'

THE COUNTY MEETING.

The New Castle Star of this date, APP
pearing this morning, says of the
Democratic county meeting at New
Castle this afternoon: "Never since
the year 1880, when the Republican
party carried this county, has there
been so great a necessity for harmony
in the Democratic party than
there is at present; and yet there
is no Disgusting the fact that
the party is on the very brink
of disruption" The Star seems to
think that the feeling which has fol-
lowed the mayoralty canvass OF this
city is the most conspicuous sign OF this
impending disruption. We are not pre-
pared 10 dispute this, but'the feeling
developed here by the county meet
ing is not found along the line between
MIR. Dougherty and his enemies in the
Democratic party. but is rather to be
looked for among the men who are
trying to keep possession or to
get possession OF the Levy Court. IL
is avarioe rather than politics that
has led to the struggle Of to-
day. The issue lies between the men
who are enjoying the patronage Of
she Levy Court as dispensed by
Commissioner Hickman and those
men who expect TO enjoy
that patronage under the dispensation
of John Pyle. IL is the "boodlers"
versus the "boodlers-to-be." IL is
merely cold-blooded and deliberate
game to get hold Of the county treas
ury. The first step towards attaining
this end is TO capture the New Castle
meeting this afternoon, appoint the
Democratic county committee and
this in turn is expected e
appoint such inspectors as will in
sure the nomination of the candidate
of the successful crowd, either Kick
man or Pyle. This is the principal
contention.
The numerous candidates for sheriff
on the Democratic ticket is also con-
tributing TO the feeling. This quarre
is Of the same quality and looks to tbs
same methods for the attainment oi
its ends as that of the partisans o.
Meesrs. Hickman andPyle. But there arr

by Manufacturer.
Free traders have been using quinine
as an illustration of the benefit Of free
trade to the consumer. It was put on
the free list in 1879 Since then the
price has been very much reduced. IL
is now claimed that free trade caused
this reduction. How true this Is will
be seen by reading the following ex-
tracts from letter of Messrs. Powers
& Wightman of Philadelphia, manu-
featuring chemists. They say;
s'The drug trade Of the United States
cannot be ignorant of the real cause
of the decline in sprice of quinine in-
this country and in Europe, but for
the information of others not 80 well
advised we will state that the cause OF
the decline was the reduced cost OF
cinchona bark. O., the crude
material employed.
"The reduction in the price of bark
was caused solely by the largely in
creased supplies.
"This, in turn, was brought about by
the action OF the British and Dutch
governments in cultivating the Gin
chona trees in India and Java.
"The United States is conspicuous
by its absence in the whole business Of
bringing down the price OF bark and
quinine the world over. The American
people and the American Government
were as innocent OF influence as were
the Chinese or the Japanese, the Turks
or the Egyptians.
Formerly all cinchona bark came
from South America, and the trees
were not under any system Of cultiva-
tion. Fearing an eventual failure OF
eupplies of bark the European govern
ments named commenced the cultiva-
tion of the cinchona trees in India,
Java, etc.
"After a lapse of years, necessary
to the growth of the plants, exports
commer ced, from India first and ther
from Java.
"In February, 1861, the first install
ment of seeds arrived in Ceylon from
South America.
In 1869 the export was but 2s ounce
of bark.
Season of 1882 SO. Ceylon, ETC., ex
ported 6,925, ,505 pounds OF bark.
Season of 1888 S4, Ceylon, ETC., ex
ported II, ,500,0 pounds of bark.
Season of 1Ss5-s6, Ceylon, etc
exported 1926 900 pounds of bark.
Season of 1886 81, Ceylon, etc
exported 15,007, 500 pounds of bark.
"The above statistics apply to one {
the sources of supply only. viz EaI
Indies CCeylon, etc.)
ITO this is to be added the Jaw
expectation, cay:
July to June 80, 1883 81, 1,104, 81
pounds Of bark.
July to June so, 1884 S5, 1,1S5, O

N July to June 80, 1886 81. 2,23O,e
