The Cost Of wildcat Banks.

There is no longer, under the national
banking system. the constant risk of loss
through holding bills of broken banks.
There is no longer the constant tax i'm
posed upon every dealer by reason of the
high rate of exchange charged on bills Of
banks i'm other states The cost of these
features of the state banking system to
the people Of this country cannot be esti-
mated. though it was the judgment Of
most experienced and competent observers
many years ago that the people lost every
year a sum greater than 3 per cent of the
entire state bank circulation. If in place
of thousand millions Of national cur
rency. without dollar of loss, there were
now similar losses on a like amount of
state bank circulation, the tax upon the
people of the United States would exceed
s5OOOO,OOO yearly, to say nothing of the
incalculable inconvenience and constan
risk in all commercial transactions,

MR.. WHITE GAME HIGH
His Consent to Marry Cos'
Widow Maggie 100000.
SHE NOW CHARGES HIM WITH FRAUD

white, Who is the Correspondent of the
London illustrated News" is Under
Arrest in New York--To be Taken &c
Cheyenne, wyo., for Trial
NEW YoRE, Oct 17-Charles A, White,
representative of the London ILLUSTRATED
News who was arrested in this city
Saturday charged with the embezzlement
of $50, 900 by his wife, formerly Mrs
Nagle, who resides in Cheyenne, Wyo.,
will be eXtradited to-day. He was re-
manded at his hearing yesterday.
White, in the first instance was also
charged by his wife with having kidnap-
ped her 16-year- old son, George H. Nagle,
with ulterior designs upon his fortune.
Telegraphic dispatches were sent Superin-
tendent Byrnes by her attorneys that the
lad was being secreted at the St. James
Hotel in this city, and upon their subse-
quent corroboration by the Cheyenne
Chief of Police, two detectives were de-
tailed upon the case.
When they called at the ST. James for
the lad, however, they learned that White
had left for Rock Island. ILL.,, and that
the boy had been sent to his mother.
This was about month ago, and
nothing was heard in the matter until
Saturday, when the sheriff of Cheyenne
arrived with requisition papers and a
warrant under which White was arrested
on the embezzlement charge,
White, it appears, met Mrs. Nagle, a
wealthy widow, about year ago, while
both were visiting Hot Springs. The
acquaintance soon eliminated in mar
riage, and White, as Mrs Nagle al
leges, obtained from her by threats and
duress S15, 600 in cash and promisory
note for $75, 000 In addition he embez-
zled from her $4O,0 900 worth of stocks
and bonds, and, Immediately upon dis
posing of these, fled.
White, on the other hand, alleges that
his matrimonial consent was purchased
for 100000, of which but S15, 00C
was paid in cash; the balance
was to be paid as soon as the widow
could convert her securities
1t was for the purpose of securing this
balance, White says, that Mrs. NagI
gave him her note for $780, and ampl,
collateral security.

He Points out How the Sheep own
ers ofthe Keystone State Are Benc-
hted by the Tariff.
WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct 12
Nothing that has been said in this cam
paign has attracted so much attention
from farmers in this section Of the state
as Major NIcKinley's reference i'm his re
cent speech here to the tariff on wool This
is a big wool growing district, and the
great protection champion made a ten
strike when he touched on this issue
''They tell us, 3" said he, ''that wool has
gone down in price under the tariff of 1890
Our Democratic friends attribute every
fluctuation in the values of commodities to
the tariff. If the price of an article goes
up it is the tariff, and if it goes down it is
the tariff. Wool is lower in the markets
of the world The kind Of wool you farm
ers of Washington county produce can be
bought in London for fifteen cents
pound An American manufacturer can
20 to London, buy his cargo of wool at
10 cents, bring it to New York at a cost
of about 1 cent for transportation,
which makes rs cents, pay the duty of II
cents, and have his wool in New York at
total cost of 21 cents. So you must sell
your wool, if mt all, at % cents per pound.
Suppose the price of wool in the markets
OF the world falls to 10 cents per pound, then
1t can he laid down i'm New York at 10
cents, plus / cent cost of transportation.
plus III cents duty or % cents, and You
farmers must take if you sell your wool %
cents per pound Let wool in the markets
OF the world drop to . cents per pound,
then your importer will get his wool in
New York at London price cents, plus
transportation 1 cent, plus IL cents, or a
total of II cents per pound.
Give American Wool Show.
'"Then you farmers must sell your wool,
If at all, at II cents per pound. But sup
pose the duty on wool is removed and the
Democrat party is committed to free wool,
then an American manufacturer can go to
London, buy his cargo of wool for the
present price of Is cents pay his cent per
pound for transportation and deliver his
wool in New York at rs cents per pound.
Then if you sold your wool at all you must
sell it at lG cents Would you rather sell
it for q cents under Republican protec-
zion Or for 16 cents under Democratic free
trade; loud applause) The Democratic
party is committed to free wool by the bill
passed in the last congress 1t ought to
receive no farmers vote If you want free
wool vote the Democratic ticket and for
revenue tariff; if you want our American
wool producers to have a preference over
foreign producers, vote the Republican
ticket and for a protective tariff.

The Tariff md Tobncco.

The Mckinley act has been of the great
est benefit to the tobacco growers of the
United States. 1t has released American
planters from ruinous competition with
the cheap labor Of Sumatra and has en-
abled them to obtain higher prices for
their crop and TO enlarge materially the
volume of production. Tobacco farming
has become an important industry in
Pennsylvania, New England New York
and other states which have suffered from
competition with western states in the
production of breadstutIs. While the oroI
is small one in comparison with the
main agricultural staples, it creates one OF

Ter, ward constable and ex-sheriff OF
Schuylkill county, who shot William
Kepley early yesterday morning, and was
committed to Jail, has applied for a writ
Of habeas corpus on which hearing will

in the neighborhood of Zeigers house,
met party of intoxicated young men
who insulted them whereupon quarrel
ensued Zeigler, hearing the disturb

utes.
Zeigler is known hereabouts for his
hasty temper and brutality, having a
most unsavory record as an officer of
