Tariff on Quinine.
A short time ago I was asked by
('apt. T. At. .Tones, of Newnan, if 1 had
seen Hoke Smith’s address, delivered at
Athens, (La., Novoraber 9th, 1888, to
which I replied that I had. He then
asked me how could I explain or ac
count for the difference in tlint article
under free trade from what it was when
taxed.
I would set out by saying that both
the. press and stump orators have made
a great to do about the quinine ques
tion and tried to mystify it as much as
possible in order to make the whole
revenue laws odious in the sight of the
people, and the farmers especially. I
saw, during the month of October I be
lieve, in some newspaper, that the tax
on quinine had only been go per cent.,
and consequent ly I came to the conclu
sion that there were some other cause
for the high price :if which it sold. On
page 8 Mr. Smith says that quinine had
been subject to an import duty for many

tariff had anything to do with the high
price of quinine? The only way to ac
count fer it is that a trust had gotten
hold of it, just like the bagging trust,
the sugar, salt, oil and cotton seed oil
t rusts.
Mr. Smith says that under the high
price of quinine only 2,000,000 ounces
was consumed, while under the low
price 4,000,000 was consumed. How nat
ural it is for men to consume more
when art article is cheap than when
dear.

OBITUARY.
Benjamin Thomas Simms was hern ie.
Hancock county. Ga.. August Sth. lhy
and died at his home near Grantviile.
October, 20, 1SSS, in the 72d year of his
age.
When a mere lad of S years, his fath
er. John Simms, brought him and his
half brother. Brit, to Coweta iind placed
them on a farm in the southwestern
portion of the county, near St. Cloud.
> The father returned to Henry county,
where he had bought land, and a g me
boys in charge of two trusty old ser
vants. At this time Coweta was one
unbroken forest, filled with savage
beasts and still more savage men. The
scream of the eagle, the cry of the pan
ther, and the war whoop of the Indian
4 were the only sounds that ’ no up
the deep solitude, filling the heart with
consternation by day, and rendering
night hideous. i
