n prominent tobacco dealer OF Buiia-
10. New York. has given to the Courier
of that city the following letter he re-
ceiyed from the Allen * Ginter branch
ofthe American Tobacco Company.
Owing 20 the greatly increased duty on
the tin-u.atc from which our TOBACCO ooNes
lre made. which adds largely 20 their cost,
we are forced 10 advance me price oil Ooe

urice-l'st. which takes effect on anu alCer
May Is 1891.
The price list discloseS an advance OF
i've cents pound, and it is quite gen
era throughout the country. so far as
smoking tobacco packed In tin boxes Is
concerned. because the advance has
been decreed by the American Tobacco
Company. powerful Trust comoina-
ton. 1t thus appears that Mckinley
Ism has not only imposed a heavy tax on
the users OF imported tobaccoS, but has
out an additional burden on the con-
siimption OF American smoking tobaccoS
such as those used by the poor man IN
his pipe.
McKinleyism has not only increased
the tax on the consumers Of tobacco,
but has brought embarraSSmentS to to-
bacco dealers, a very numerous aud i'm
Oortant class Of business men. 1t has
affected them i'm many ways, and has
seriously interfered with many estab-
iished lines of trade.
Thc increase of the price of many
brands of smoking tobacco by reason Of
the doubling of the duty on tin-plate is
only one Of very numerous Illustrations
Of the Increase of the cost Of articles,
arising from the Mckinley tin-piate

DISTINGUISHED CONVERTS.

There is corporation bearing the
name Of the Three Americas Company
whose headquarters are Boston. Its
purposes are thus stated:
To promote trade between the different
countries, nations and colonies OF the
American continents; 10 navigate the
seas: 20 own and hold stock in other cor
porations: to buy and sell goods and other
property; to obtain information relating 10
all kinds of trade; TO publish newspapers
and trade journals, and in general TO do all
the acts which will in any way be for the
benefit of the people trading between the
different countries of the Western Hemls-
phere.
The President of this company is eX-
Governor JOHN Q. A. BRACKET, OF
Massachusetts, and on its Board OF
Directors are Ex-Governor OLIvER AMEs,
Ex-Governor WILLIAM CLAFLIN, MI
RUSSELL b. HARRISON, son of the PreSi-
dent. and other prominent Republicans.
In the company's Weekly Bulletin we
find the following:
prominent carpet manufacturer at
Lowell. Mass writes US that III would DC
absurd for him 10 send samples OF carpet
TO South America, because his carpets are
made of South American wool, very large
IN. which comes here 0urdened with d outy
of 10 To - cents per yard on the carpet
OF course he cannot export carpets, there
fore. in competition with England, France
and Germany. all with free wool. tie
lro,td hare better chance oren under en-
tire free trade 10 is % be regretted thdt
| the carpet interest is so hdmper6d LII IS
useless under such conditions to waste
money on a trade we would like very much
10 get share OF.
If Democratic newspaper had made
this statement it would have been set
down by Republican organs as free
trade lie. 'un-American, IL" diSloyal
and false. And this does not tell half
the story. The only customer the
/ American wool grower has is the Amer
lean wooden manufacturer, and, if his
business is hampered or killed by the
tariff. that of the wool grower must SUI
fer in proportion.
Now that these leading Republicans
have entered into practical business they
have Topped over to the free trade idea
pure and simple They will doubtless
deny that they are not juStaS good and as
/ high protectioniStS as ever, but do they
realize the force of the statement they
make so poSitivelY-thato our manufac-
turers cannot compete with those in
countries where wool is free: that the
Republican tariff hampers the carpet
industry: that it is a waste of money to
look for profitable trade under the con-
ditionS created by the new tariff act;
and that, in short, we "wo'dd have a
better chance even under entire free
trade?" Are they high tariff in politics
and free trade in business?
President HARRISON, himself, in his
Nebraska speech, said:
This government of ours cannotdo every
thing for every body. The theory OF our
government is large, individual liberty. II
is that lre SHAH tqlc out OF the roy all lcgtSld
FIRE distractions 10 the free, honest pursuit Of
nU bumuu Industries: that each individual
shall, i'm his own place, have the best
chance possible 10 develop the highest
prosperity for himself and his family.
This is sound doctrine and it is not
that of McKinleyism.

RELAPSE OF "HYsOPHOBIA."
A Remarkable Malady Which is Not
RabiesAOnly "A Partial Cure

KENYErT SQUARE, PA, May 10
Warren Dixon, the 25-year-old patient
who was supposed to have been cured OF
''hysophobia" at the Jefferson Medical
College, in Philadelphia, has had a re-
markable relapse. Yesterday, while he
was out driving, his horse became un-
manageable In striving to control the
animal he had return of one OF the
terrible spasms-very similar to those
accompanying rabies-and now he is in
irons again to prevent him from harm
ing others.
About nine months ago Mr.. D,von.
while riding his bicycle, was overtaken
by bog that bit him on the ankle. II
healed up, but in a short time became
sore again. He was then attacked with
spaSmS, which was pronounced hydro
phobia by several physicians. Then
it required ten men to hold him. About
five weeks ago he was discharged from
jefferson College as being completely
cured OF "hysophobia, a disease differ
ing only slightly from rabies.

Locked in Her Showcase.

There was a very funny incident con
nected with fire in a milliner'S shop
in Brooklyn recently, which someho"
or other did not get into print. The
proprietress is fair, fat and fifty and
highly excitable. On the discovery Of
the fire she made a rush for the show
case to save some bOnnetS. She got M
side, and before she was aware OF it the
door had swung to and had locked her
securely in. And then the fun began.
The case was in full view OF the crowd
who began to guy and chaf her. No
key could be found to fit the snap ioc"'
so the firemen carried the case and rs
contents across the street, where tAe
crowd began war dance around the
unfortunate lady. Finally, ia sheer
desperation, the old lady broke thl53
glass and made good her escape anna
the cheers Of the assembled crowd.

THE RISING TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

The rush Of Immigrants towards the
United states this year is well nigh IN
urecedented. The season has now
reached It's height, and from this time
until fall there will probably be de-
crease. The figures for April show a
remarkable increase.
As al instance, at the port Of Balti-
more the arrivals during the first quar-
ter OF the current year, ending March
81. were only 4,sOO During the single
month OF April following 1900 immi-
grants landed AT that port. Last week
the number was ., 100.
When .t is considered that great
army Of aliens has been marching into
this country by land across the Canada
line since the new law went into force'
10 is seen that the actual increase OF our
population by additions from abroad is
eve, greater than these figures Indicate.

WE are unlucky this year. All the
crops a short while ago were promising
abundant harvests, far above the ever
age in yield and quality. Then came
the protracted dry weather, at time
when the growing plants most needed
rain. That, however, would have
caused comparatively lutte damage,
but the blightng and killing frost sue
ceeded it and cut of these promising
children of the earth in their infancy.
What we will have in the way OF har-
vest will be due largely to the efforts OF
the farmers in replanting and to the
fact that the crops were of such extra
ordinary size and promise that the
drouth and succeeding frost could not
kill them all.
