How a Protective Tariff Drives Foreign
Countries to Seek Other Markets TO Pur-
chase Grain.
A late number of Bradstreet's Sives a
report on the wheat market in which
the conclusion is reached that Europe
is anticipating future requirements
through purchases of wheat in ather
markets than the United States"
This report shows that the tendency
in Europe toward finding other markets
in which to buy wheat still grows The
London correspondent of the NewsYork
Times wrote recently to that paper
about the excitement caused by the Nc
kinley bill in Europe as follows:
For one thing. IL has already made it GER
tain that Europe W i'll take no interest In the
Chicago Exhibition and will practically be
unrepresented there Even more important
is the impulse it has given here to CONSOLE
date capital IN an energetic eff 0rt to fmme
diately push railways throughout the Indian
and Russian wheat belt and TINS render the
European market Independents OF American
grain supplies
The law of trade under which this
is done is very simple. The farmer whe
sells his wheat or livestock in Browns
vile viii buy his family supplies there
If he can get them at reasonable price
At least If he goes of to Smithtown to
cause the merchants OF that place offer
their goods at lower prices
Just so with foreign trade We refuse
to buy English goods; then the English
must find other coun tries in which to
sell them They carry them of to
Russia. India the Argentine Republic
etc; and while their ships are in the
harbors of these countries they look
around to find a return cargo. They
find tit Is wheat; they buy 1t and
take it back to England to replace an
equal quantity Of wheat grown by our
producers When English ships have
been driven off to other markets with
their goods by the Mckinley law. the
only way for our farmers 10 make il
worth their time to sail empty 70 us for
our wheat is by Offering the extra in
ducement of lower prices
Are they willing to underbid what
the protectionists call 1.-THE pauper Ia

CLARKE'S LEAGUE.
Disastrous End of a Wonderful Scheme
for SaInop Mon.

Disa strous End of a Wonderful Scheme
for Saloon Men.
Alfred Clarke, the attorney and coun-
selor, appeared downcast yesterday.
The great and singular concern known as
the Anti-Arbitrary Power League" a
creation of the counselor, had lost all power
by the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in Washington, d. c.
The league was established by Clarke In
mystery, but with untold pretensions. Its
prospectus and "bonds" showed capital
of ten millions" Its purposes were to do
everything, but particularly protect saloon
men from eXorbitant taxes and licenses. be-
cause their families went to church regular
ly, and saloon men are good church members
Clarke maintained that the present license
was illegal, unconstitutional, ETC.. and was
sustained in this opinion in the test case of
Henry Christensen, Saloon-keeper corner
of jackson and Kearny streets, by Judge
Sawyer in the United States Circuit Court.
Then he established the Anti-Arbitary
Power League, with offices at CSC Clay street.
All saloon men could join the association
upon payment of $40, for which bond"
bearing a red seal and the signature of S.
w. Gibson was given, guaranteeing the
holder immunity from loss in prosecutions
by the Police Department for not paying the
regular Ii enSe. A few unwary ones were
installed members and pasted their bonds
over old license receipts.
But ex-Judge Louderback carried the test
case to Washington and secured a decision
against Clarke.
