An old man -who wished to die had his wish granted in the heart of New York. The rumble of a swurming city beat upon his healing to the last. There is no horrible example con tained in the life and death of James Trainor. He first operated an eating place at Thirty-third and Broadway, and the saying of a police captain who Bamp'ed his steak gave rise to the designation "tenderloin," which has been permanently admitted to Amer ican speech. He died at an advanced age, sur forgiveness inspires no more apprec- - , -hich ceHai, iat.ve utterance than.

He saw that an organized effort is being made iu .,iin pnnlnr of America de- '. to influence both the republican and velop.

HEREDITY AS AN ALIBI. 1 Mi 1 I rr-i5K-aMii l!r i 'H Kio De Janeiro, Feb. 1. (By Mail) Because they believe American flour and other American products imported by Brazil are crippling home in dustries here, Brazilian business in terests have asked the Brazilian fed eral senate to build up the tariff wall and keep United States manufacturers from running away with the Brazilian domestic market. Certain American goods now pay 20 per cent less import duty into Barzil tlvin is paid on the suine cless of ty.oC.s imported into Brazil from Ucril countries. This fnvor is shown to these American good3 because the United States abandoned tl.e idea of hnrrine a 3 cent duty on coffee im ported into the United States from B:rzil. Tim B-azilian i'lour millois and the Cor.vvo'fial Association of Brazil now say this agreement id working great beMcfitl to the United' JStates and great l.arm to Brazil. They say cox fe? r rices are so hiffli that Brazil can chocse its market; ti.nd thr,t there-1 fore Braz'l will bo cblo to dispose of j its coffee in the U. S. whether it is taxed or not; and that there fore it is useless to continue tro agreement ana i let the U. S. manufacturers gobble up . all the domestic trade of Brazil in! other linos. In proof of their conten- j tion the millers cite figures to show ! that since the argctmcnt was made ; importations of American Hour nave jumped from 54,000000 pounds in 1916 to 152,000,000 in 1914. T!:o appeal before the federal sen ate is only for a higher flour tariff, but should tl.e millers get tlie tariff raised ok flour, efforts will be made to revive the tariff upward on con densed milk, imbber articles, clocks and w:.tches, paints, typewriters, re frigerators, pianos, scales, electric fans, cement, Duuuing material ana furniture and other articles. American interests in Brazil anil Brazilian busineK men aro watching the miller's f'ght closely. Practically all tho Brazilian flour mills are word ing on British capital, but they are in fluential in the commercial organiza tions of tha country. American flour has enjoyed a 30 per a nt lower tariff in Rrnzii than anv other imported flov.r and is even said to bo under the price of tho doi.-.estic product. Yes! They're Here, Too!
