In December. 1882, White and Spencer,
who had Just returned from China with
his health shattered. became friends.
White waA then Uniangled with a
woman of loose character who lived in
New York. He had also contracted the
brandy habit T., such an extent that
both mind and body appeared 10 be
ready 10 give way. In this dilemma his
uncle. Austin Bishop. invoked Spencer's
aid, and the two friends started on !;
tom which eventually took them all
over the world. They spent money like
water, Spencer receiving, after a time,
hall of the ainouut sent 10 his friend.
They had a yacht, II country seat III

United Kingdom, and altogether they
were high rollers in the siriutest sense
Of the word. All their drafts on New
York were promptly hOnored, and they
spent from S2l, 600 t. Sj3, 900 u year. On
the day before Whites death he made :.

The duty on Canadian barley WAS len
cents a bushel. The trainers Of the Nc
Kinley law sought to raise it to thirty
cents. The border towns, without re
gard to party lines. protested against
any increase, but offered to compromise
at fifteen cents. Senator HiscocR was
Indifferent or hostile, and the objections
of Buffalo, Oswego, ETC., Were I'M
needed.
The increase was gratuitous. 1t WAS
not needed for purposes of protection.
The farmers of New York cannot DE M
duced t. raise barley to any extent. 1t
is an expensive crop. Western barley
will no answer the uses Of brewers,
who are the principal consumers of bar
ley. 1t was not an instance of u foreign
underselling u domestic prodact. Malt
sters cheertully paid a higher price for
Canadian barley than they could buy
the New York product for, because they
believed that Canadian barley alone
would make the best quality of beer.
The malting and brewing interests OF
Buffalo are very large. This trade now
claims that ''the experience Of the past
year has demonstrated that the prtdlc-
tons of those fIvoring the Increased
duty on barley were erroneous. Is Is evi-
dent by the fact that the value Of barley
is lower now than it was when the duty
was only ten cents per bushel.' a meet
ing was held on change recently TO ASK
congress to restore the old rate OF duty

This is an increase of over SO per cent.
Under the tariff of 1888 worsted cloths
were not separated from all other wool
manufactures, and the item Of .'cloths"
in the above table represents wooden
cloths only for 1890. Under the McK;u-
ley tariff wooden aud worsted cloths bear
the same rates. Similarly, pushes were
not separately enumerated in 1890.
On bunting, us shown above, the ad
valoreIn ate is less now than in 1890.
The duties are, however, higher now
than before, but since they are practi-
cally ~prohibitiye, this fact is of little i'm
portancc.
A. tariff averaging 1924 per cent just
suits the large number of 50 called
wooden manufacturers, who are large
users Of shuddy extracts and cotton.
Only a short time ago of the leading
manufacturers declared that all wool
goods arc now the exception and not the
rule. No truer or briefer statement OF
the effect of high and prohibitive duties
has ever been made. The high duties on
wool and woolens have made all wool
goods 50 high that they are beyond the
means of IA large number of people. AZ
Il consequence they must wear shoddy
instead.
1t has becn asserted that wooden goods
have not risen in price in consequence Of
the Mckinley tariff. How this can be
rcconciled with IN Increase III the duties
of fully 33 per cent, and but a slight de-
crease III the impurtaIions is beyond
comprehension.
But the Mckinley tariff has been a
bonar2- to the manufacturers, for 1t en-
abled such mills as the Arlington, of
which Mr.. Whitman is president, to
earn IA profit Of 80 per cent. in 1891. No
wonder, III view Of this, that Mr.. Whit
llan is so strenuous in his opposition To
any change in the duties on his products.
The present wool tariff is nothing but
a lcgalized form Of robbery. There was
an old English law which provided
that every person after death should
be buried in Il WOODEN STROUD, III order
that the manufacture of woolens might
DO encouraged. More barbarOus and
unreasonable than that ancient law, the
Mckinley tariff, by its merciless taxes
on woolens, discorragcs the wearing OF
them by the living.

The story Of u Rich Young Mans Brief
Life.

III
In a room of a hotel in Paris on March
22, 1888, several surgeons awaited the
coming of a young man upon whom
they expected to perform an operation
for the purpose of removing an abscess
from one of his lungs. The patient, who
had braced up for the ordeal on cham
pagne, entered, greeted them pleasantly
and continued along in the direction of
the operating table. He had gone but "A
couple of steps when he was seized with
II violent fit of coughing. The doctors
fastened to his relief, but he was past
human aid. for the abscess had broken,
and he choked to death in q few min.
utes.
This ended the life of Joseph Moss
White. The affair created q slight stir
at the time on account of Whites repu-
tation rs a spendthrift, but it was soon
forgotten. 1t was recalled, however.
the other day because of u law suit for
