NEW TARIFFS EVIL EFFECTS.
Food Products Advanced In Price on Ac-
count of It.

NEW YORK. December lS.-lt IS be-
ginning TO be apparent that more must
be paid for articles OF food as well as fbr
articles OF clothing as a consequence Of
the Mckinley Tariff bill than ever be-
fore. The cost OF vegetables, provisions.
groceries and poultry is higher TO the
consumer this winter than last and
higher as 10 many articles than ever be-
fore This increase. it is only fair to
say. is partly accounted for by the poor
results OF the domestic harvest.
There is not much direct importation
10 New York of garden, farm and dairy
produce from Canada or the other Brit
lSh dominonS. at least In comparison
with the receipts at frontier ports and
at Boston. Bangor, Montpelier, and
other similar ports. But localities
which have heretofore sent almost their
entire surplus 10 this city have been
drawn upon by cities and towns along
the frontiers which. previous to this
year had their deficiencies supplied from
Canada. and with a larger market and
increased demand ;he prices have in
creased.
Inquiry among the dealers in pro-
visions and garden produce yesterday
elected the information that but little
except poor crops OF vegetables and no
poultry, but small quantities OF eggs,
and no other provisions except fish were
coming 10 the New York market from
Canada. One large dealer in CoTtlandt
street said: We are getting some po-
tatoes from Canada-nOt many As yet,
because they haven't yet begun to move
in this direction as they will a month
from now. But the new tariff law has
had its effect upon prices in keeping
Canadian potatoes out OF the market
notwithstanding the short supply
Prices are fully dollar barrel more
this month than they were year ago
This month. The tariff is - cents per
bushel OF sixty pounds, which makes
the tariff tax on barrel OF potatoes
from % to 20 cents. 4
"On cabbages the duty has been put
m from 10 per cent. al yalorem to }
cents 4 head. We never have enough !
cabbageS TO supply the demand, and the
homegrown crop is usually exhausted |
bv the middle of January. Then we
begin TO get them from Holland, prin-
cipally. and from Germany. The in |
crease in the duty is from about - cents /
a hundred to s.. Both of these kinds OF
are the food OF our common |
and poor people-the staple foods. Now,
who gets the benefit OF the increased /
duty? 1t is the speculator, who buys /
and root crops in large guam
Titles during the harvest season and /
lids ,bo,n for tho inevitable rise The /
tariff helps him to blufT the people out
Of - cents bushel on potatoes and over |
= cents a head on cabbages."

ONLY TWO HUNG
In the Ohio Penitentiary-smith Reprieved
by Governor Campbell.

COLUMBUS. ONO, December Is
There was to have been triple execu-
tion at the Ohio penitentiary tonight,
and Governor Campbell last evening
gave his final decision As To why he
would not interfere in either case, as
signing his reasons at length. Isaac
Smith was convicted of the murder Of
Stephen Skidmore in Pike county.
and has been given four respites,
pending an investigation Of his guilt.
Notwithstanding his decision OF last
night, Gov. Campbell this evening gave
audience to Bishop Watterson, Of the
Columbus Diocese, and II. j. Booth. a
prominent attorney. and consented TO
grant another reprieve to March 20 on
the representation that they would give
personal attention TO an investigation OF
the case.
The other two men were executed.
Elmer Sharkcy killed his mother. 4
widow. near Eaton, Prcble county, jan
uary L.. 1889, crushing her skull with a
maui while she was sleeping.
Henry Popp, the other man executed
was German. born in the old country.
He killed Orris Grcther, saloon keeper
at Canton. by Stabbing him with a pen
knife after he had been several times
thrown out of the saloon.
TIE three vvnd-muri spent gui-t
day in the annex and visitors TO the
prison were not allowed TO see them.
They were at supper at + p. m, when
the reprievc tor Smith was delivered,
and he accepted the news in an uncon-
cerned manner, apparently feeling Il
disappointment that he was to undergo
another siege of Investigation.

His body lay in position unlike a

the hands so tightly clinched that the

which the man had passed, and the
checks showed that in his frenzy the
man. entom5ed alive, had used his nails

states that any one can see the returns.

OCALA CONVENTION
TEE SECRETARY OF TIE FARMERS ALLIANCE
OF TENNESSEE
Makes Some Cheerful Remarks on tha Alleged Mis-
statements the Press in Connection With the
Third Party MOvsnsnt-Hs Denies the
Truth Of the Reports.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, December Is
Hon. L. Il. Wade, Secretary Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, and
holding 4 similar position in the State
Farmers Alliance, who was Il delegate
to the Ocala convention, said here to-
day in an interview with an american
reporter that he had been grossly and
unjusty misrepresented in the dis
patches from Ocala in regard 10 an al
legged resolution binding every member
of the Alliance 10 subscribe 10 the plat
form of the order, and support no man
for office who does not subscribe 10 those
principles. He says no such resolution
was offered by himself or any other del
egate 10 that convention. This report
has created great interest among the
Democrats and Alliance men Of this and
adjoining States.
Mr.. Wade said" "As far as my individual
affairs are concerned. they amount TO
but little, but as have been placed
before the country in a false attitude
and the press generally have selected
me as target, deem it due myself to
say that my views have undergone no
change relative 10 the demands of the
Alliance. am not in favor Of the sub
treasury bill or the government owner
ship of railroads and telegraph lines,
nor any other demand that places the
organization in the attitude of subscrib-
ing to q policy OF Capitalization and
government paternalism."
Speaking for the order want 10 say
that ii is noH-partiSan. Our first decla-
ration is TO labor for the education Of
the agricultural classes in the science
of economical government IN Il strictly
non-partsan,. pirit and 10 bring about
more perfect union Of said classes.
We ask no member to vote for men or
mea ,ures. but leave each individual to
act as his conscience dictates on all
political questions and policies.
The Tennessee delegation at the
Ocala meeting. which was composed OF
Governor-elect Buchanan, Joseph Nc
Dowell. w. c. Lightfoot and myself,
were unalterably opposed to any third
party movement. and agreed among
ourselves that If this issue was forced
we would retire from the body. How
ever. no attempt was made looking TO
this end. Whatever action was taken
by the sO-called reform press after the
adjournment of the National Alliance
cuts no figure so far as the great mass
Of the order is concerned, and | appre-
hend that no member will consider for
a moment that the action of the mem
bers Of the press will be binding in the
remotest degree of other individual ac-
tions on public questions.
