MISS WINNIE DAVIS. Tlif I :i tighter of the CoritiMlpraev' iiri'l I!t Hmki-n Eii-iirim-iit . New York, Oft. 15. The engage ment of MinH Winnie Davis, "the daughter of the confederacy," and Mr. Alfred Wilkinson of Syracuse is definitely liuk.-ii. The prince; ul-i themselves authorize this announce ment. To u n-jioi ter, who met her in Mrri. George Cust-r'ri npartineiits sit the Fifth Avenue hot 1, Miss Ihi vis said: "I do not cure. t talk about the hieakiiiy of my engagement. Sufiice it to hay that no mercenary Motive iromiited me in the coursa I tlfci.l'-I l Wm: Mr. WilkiiiNon arid I fevered our i it: illUlll al w'i ( eiii' i.t. ' Tn re'unl to tii" rei :'.. i ;d-ut her ; - - - - r delicate health Mis Uivis declared that, while not robust, -h'- i by no mean mi invalid. "My trip al.ro'id did me a world of g oed, said blie. 'My travels are not over yet, either. This winter my mother and I pro pose to make an extended tour through South America. I was there with my father when a child, and my recollection of the country are very pleasant. My mother and I have rooms at the New York hotel, but I have been spending most of my time with relatives ami friends. In a few hours I leave for Mississip pi and I have been away bo long that I really yearn to get home.1' Keturniug to the subject of htr secret engagement, Miss Davis man ifested some signs of pique. "All this chatter about Mr. Wilkinson and myself is exceedingly annoying." she exclaimed. "Mr. Wilkinson is an estimable young man. I think a great deal of him and his family. That's all there is to it. As for my friends influencing me, that is ab surd. The decision was left entire ly to myself. Many of my relatives in the south were particularly fond of Mr. Wilkinson. But," said Miss Davis, checking herself and biting her lip, just perceptibly, "I don't think such matters are for the pub lie. I prefer to keep personal af fairs to myself. My reasons for adopting the course I have chosen concern mv immediate family alone. They are perfectly satisfied with my conduct." After Miss Day is and her mother had taken their departure, Mrs. Cus ter gave it as her opinion that the rupture of the much talked about engagement was due to personal reasons solely. "Miss DaYis," she explained, "is very self-willed, and likes to have her own way. She has been the idol of every aristocratic southern family since her birth and has formulated some very decided notions concerning the late war, which she never hesitates to express. I believe, although I have no right to asser), that Miss Davis and Mr. "Wilkinson agreed to disagree. "There is great disappointment among Mr. Wilkinson's friends over the result of his noted engagement," contiuued Mrs. Custer. "Many of them refuse to accept such reasons as I have detailed and persist in be lieving that Mr. Wilkinson's finan cial misfortunes are at the bottom of Miss Davis' refusal to marry him. Mr. Wilkinson himself is too high minded to cherish such ideas for an instant." Trnt Price to Foreigner, st. Lonlt Rc-ntilic. When a merchant has slow sales and a large stock he booms bis business by putting down his prices and invit ing his customers to come around to stock up with what they need and he does not. That is business le gitimate business. Wheu a protected manufacturer's trust is in the same condition; when it has a large stock and trade is dull because prices are high, it never give its regular customers the ben tit. Instead of doing so it ships to foreigners just enough of what it has on hand to keep from being obliged to lower prices at home. And in every case where the tariff enables it to charge higher prices to its regular customers, it sells cheap- j er to foreigners. Thus foreigners ' get the benefit of all the "drives" ! and "special bargains'" given by our ! protected trusts. " This is nccesari:illy true because wheu they offer goods to foreigners they meet competition in open mar ket and sell at reasonable figures or not at all. When they get beyond ! our custom house lines it takes two I to make a bargain. Th'-y cannot s iy to the consumer "Pay our price or r'o without." They haw to trade with him instead of dictating to him In our lists of trusts in over 50 lines of manufacturing, published last week, we gave a brief his tory of the axe and edged tool trust. It was formed last March. Fourteen of the axe and edge tool factories in the county formed a siu gle corporate Conspiracy under the j i!ias of -the American axe and tool company." They at once made an advance in this market of from Si. 75 to S'i.'ij a doz'-n. Fully protected j by the McKinley bill, they are j-in- j ing the other trust:; in extorting I hi'di'-r prices from th ir American cu'-tomf-rc:, whil" at the same time j they wete selling cheaper to foreign-! ers. We have their own adv rtUement i in the South American edition of the j Engineering a:i I Mining Journal in evidence. They publibhed thee advertisements of prices for circula tion in Buenos Avre-s they advertise ! tuc;r first quality of bronzed axe.-, al ??ti.75 a dozen to these foreigneis when their price at home is s7.7b". Their bevelled axe is advertised at 7. I ill tut? VUibCU IJkailOj Uh. ' I X in Buenos Ayres. Their No. 1 shingling hatchet is a Ivertised at $4 5i a dozen to American custom ers; at 3.8(J a dozen to foreign cus tomers. And so with the other trusts. Mr. John Wancamaker is advertising that his bargain counter will sell tin ware and kitchen goods below the present prices as he laid in a large stock before the passage of the Mc Kinley bill. The trusts sell a flat bottomed kettle for 85 cents in Buenos Ayres for which the regular trust price in the "heme market" is $1.40. A Buenos Ayres housewife is offered an American griddle for 34 cents, which the American house wife must 64 cents for. Table-knives for this market are sold to dealers at $ 4.3G a dozen, while dealers for the Buenos Ayres market can get same knife for $3.73. The goods thus exported are not a surplus left over after supplying the home demand. They are gotten rid of to prevent the home demand from being so fully suppled that home prices will fall. The trusts do not export at all except to keep from being obliged to sell cheap at home They give their good bar gains to foreigners in order that they may collect at home the tariff tax difference between home and foreign prices. By selling cheaper to 1,000 foreigners they can thus go on sell ing dear to 100,000 Americans. They are afraid if they sold cheap once to their regular customers here at home they would have to keep ou doing it. So they give foreigners the ben efit of their bargains, and more than make up for it out of the home mar ket. The President's 3Iinl. Washington, Oct. 15. The presi dent has at length had his mind definitely made up. it is stated, Dot to call an extra session of congress to pass the force bill. It was feared that the nature of the business to be done was such as to effect the com ing elections unfavorably hence the decision. It rests on a narrow basis of party expediency, but it is thought to be a verv good one. Is the force bill now to be despaired of is a question frequently asked. Ihe next session will be verv short. Three months, less the Christmas holiday, afford little time for anything except the regular ap propriation bills. Senator Hoar af firmed the report that the force bill could not be passed the coming session for want of time. A great effort will be made. Possibly some thing may occur between now aud December to suggest to the leaders of the senate that force bills are bad politics. Gen.

I It sounds a little droll, just after j the passage of the McKinley tariff! act, which was to send the country forward like a catapult, on a new ca reer of proi-perity, to hear that the j tomato canning factories in Salem J county, N.
