fraudulent collision or not, the Boston
firm was bound to pay for the goods.
Several years ago suit was brought on
this claim in the United States court at
New York, where the plaintiffs were
beaten and appealed to the Supreme Court,
which in the late decision sustained the
lower court, the opinion being unanimous.
"a party cannot" says that tribunal, "oe
compelled to buy property which he does
not wish to buy; and no trick OF the ven-
der, conspiring with an agent OF
such party, by which possession is
placed on him, creates on his
part q contract of purchase. Nor
IL any contract Of purchase created
even if it also appear that, unknown to
the party, his agent, who has entered into
this wrongful combination, has sold the
property and put the proceeds into his
principals possession"
Thus was defeated cunning scheme BY
which certain cloak houses OF New YORK
attempted to compel unwilling concerns
throughout the country to sell their goods.
The entire scheme covered transactions
aggregating about quarter OF million
dollars. Under the Supreme Court decision
that sort of cunning is made rather an un-
profitable investment. Such tricks must
be played at the players peril and loss.

SEATTLE, June Is, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: Recently there appeared in
the editorial columns of the observation-disclosures
a biography of Deborah Powers, of lansing
burgh, n. Y. Her business career of more than
half century, the accumulation of a large for
tune by her own talents and efforts, her charac-
ter and deeds Were all commented upon as an
evidence Of what women might accomplish.
The report ended with the statement that this
woman mot only never exercised the suffrage,
but she never worried herself about it." Allow
me to offer q correction. personal friend OF
Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Devereaux Blake. of New
York city, has given to the public the informa-
ton that after the school suffrage was granted
to the women of New York, she never failed at q
single school election to cast her vote, and never
let pass an opportunity to advocate full suffrage
or women. MARY OsGoop.

ingalls, on Republication.

HUTCHINSON, KAN, May 26.-The
meeting of Republican editors of the
Seventh congressional district to-day
was largely attended and strong but
conservative platform adopted. The
following letter from ex-senator In.
gals was read and warmly applaud
ed:
Iregret that,a previous engagement
in another state prevents my accept
ance of your invitation to attend the
meeting Of Republican editors at
Hutchinson on the 26th. I should be
glad to confer with them and to as
sure them personally of my grateful
appreciation of the confidence and
good will with which they have 80
long honored me. 1t will never be
forgotten.
The Republican party is confronted
with great problems which threaten
its supremacy. The American people
are more concerned now about the
present and the future than the past.
They are considering the finances,
commerce, wages, prices, lmmigra-
ton, suffrage, the unjust distribution
of wealth, the unequal diffusion of the
burdens and benefits of society, and
are Indifferent to dogmas. If we are
to succeed we must deal with the is
sues of to-day as we dealt with slave
ny, secession and state sovereignty
thirty years ago. The Republicanism
of the future must readjust itself to
the changed conditions Of American
life or it will perish.
wish to save it from this fate by
recalling the spirit, the energy, the
aggressive and patriotic force of its
founders to the campaign Of 1892.
This will be waged upon economic
and practical questions and not upon
memories or emotions. Those who
have wandered can be reclaimed by
appeals to reason and interest, but not
BY denuncirtiOn and ridicule.
Harrisfon will be renominated and
Cleveland will be his antagonist. If
we have courage and conscience it
will be an Austerlitz. If we dicker
with popular error, compromise with
unprincipled leaders and sneer at
honest differences Of judgment and
opinion, it Will be Waterloo. Your

How the imports have grown
while the American market was
being "filled by American tin PLATED"
From SO, 100000 pounds in January
to sc, 900, 900 in February and l0I,-
100000 in March The quantity
imported in March was more than
twice as great as the imports of the
corresponding month last year, and
greater by 60 per cent. than the av-
erage quantity per month in the
calendar years 1889 and 1890. The
quantity brought into the country
in the first three months Of this
year exceeded by 80 per cent. the
imports of the corresponding quar-
ter of 1890. Why did this country
buy so much. foreign tin plate in
March, if American tin plate was
driving foreign tin plate out of our
markets
1t is unfortunate that we have no
official statistics for the month of
April, for it is probable that the
quantity imported in that month
even exceeded the enormous imports
of March. Commenting upon the
official statement of imports at Phil
adelphia in March, which showed an
