THE OMAHA DAILY 13EE : TUESDAY , MAROII 1 , M2-TWELTiT PAGER. How nnd Where Business Ebbed nnd Flowed Twenty-Five Years Ago.

Twonty-flvo years is n long tlmo to look nhoad when contemplating the changes that n quarter of n century will bring , with Us marvelous inventions and the revolutions In methods of living nnd doing business which today's rapidly advancing civilization promises for the future. So Is a glance of retrospection at the scones and Incidents of n score nnd five years ago bound to startle nnd mystify the reminiscent mind , though to one in middle life the days of ' 07 do not seem to bo so very deeply burled in the past. To the old settler there is something strangely fascinating In the recital of stories of plnnoor days , nnd to many of the younger ( ronoratlon there will bo much of interest In n mental glance at Omaha as she appeared In the stirring times of 1807. In these days as now Farnam was the business street of the city , but Instead of the costly nnd Imposing structures of the present time , wooden rows , with now and then n two-story brick , constituted the popular hab itation of the business man. The few blocks between Ninth and Sixteenth streets on the east am ) west and Douglas and Harnoy on the north and south represented the ontlro commercial district of the city. The bottoms were practically unoccupied , though the trucks of the Union Pacific were oven then tticro , nid | n few warehouses broke the atOny of the space between Ninth street Hhptr. On tbo river bauic were lo- MMMFr burnotlzlng works , " where cot ton wood lies were treated to n process of hnlllnir , steaming and tarring that was in tended to prolong tbo period of their useful- 11043.

What Is now the Union Paclllo headquar ter * nt Nli.thnml Farnaiu , or rather a. portion tion of It , wat then a hotel , n stately structure - turo known far and near as the Horndou house. The landlord was James Allen , father of the present city librarian , and ho was succeeded by Mrs. Brouson. Just across the f-ticot on the southeast corner was the Wyo ming hotel , where Senator Paddock waged un unending warfare against clincx loctulnris mid rebellious bell boys. On the southwest corner , whore a not- atorium has of late years hold full sway , was the original Episcopal church of the city , and n part of it is still thcro with a swimming lutik where the altar used to bo , and a sys tem of hot and cold water pipes that the devout worshippers who were wont to gather there in these Citrly days never oven dreamed of. Trees surrounded the sacred edifice , and the untrnnca was on Ninth street. Hector Talbot - bet , now n bishop in Indiana , had charge of thu little flock , and ho was succeeded by Jr. Van Antwerp. B l'tio northwest corner was vacant , but Just RSrth of It across the alloy stood the orlg- Pwttl cjiphol. builfliuir , .whoro tbo territorial ' legislature used to meet. It was n plain two story In-icK bulldinir , with oflleo rooms on the lower llcor , while the space above was divided Into two chambers in which tno members of the two legislative bodies were accustomed to unleash their thoughts. Two i\port GltiiruiiK. On ( ho northwest corner of Eleventh and Pnrnnin was the Pioneer block , the first throe-story brick builulncin the city nnd for a timo'tho"- " center of this little world. . . .nil * uulldlng was Sheaf Bros. ' saloon and iillliar.l hall , where the click of the Ivories on twenty tables made merry music on the midnight air. Johnny Shoa't was in these days the Champion ? billiard player of the west , s aa his brother Randall was the first spectacular mixologist who reached the west l/nnk of the Missouri. Ho was as much of nn adept in tnnkiinr long range nlcoholio con nections as was his brother with the ouo , nnd visitors called there many a time and olt to gaze with undisguised awe and ad miration on his scientific manipulations of sugar , Julco and lemon peel. John died some llrn&ago in Salt Lnko , and Handall was last hoird of In San 1'Tancisco. An opposition hall with twcnty-ono tables wus shortly afterwards opouod in the base- incut of the Hcllman block at Thirteenth and Fnrnam uiid two ball punching exports were liiiDortcd'from'tho cast tn offset the abilities of .lohnny Sheaf in tbo fancy shot line , n.oro was never such Interest in billiards in Umaha before or since , and ton tables are all thnt the largest hall In the cltv now contains. On tno southwest corner of Eleventh nnd F.u-imm was a little ono story frame that had been tbo ofllco of the Western Stiigo company and In which Elias Scars , now of Council Bluffs , was agent. Scene of n Terrible Murder. From there to Twelfth street there was not a roof that covered 'moro than ono storv. On the southeast corner of Twelfth nnd Fnrnani stood the two-story brick building now occupied by Toft , the tobacconist , uut then by Will R. King & Co. ai a wholesale grocery house. There was committed nn early day murder that resulted in the second legal execution in tbo city. "W. D. Hlgglns was a bookkeeper in King's ' employ , while O. G. Baker occu- piud the position of porter. On the nlpht of November 21 , 1SOI ) , King was murdered , the More robbed and then sot on fire. Tbo ovl- donee pointed to Baker's guilt. Ho was ar- ruftiou , tried and the Jury disagreed , Jeff Mcgeath being unwilling to sny that the ktinan should hanu. Before the next trial * L' Boner told whore the .stolon- money could bo found , hidden under u sidewalk , and tbo . ourt finally lived the time for his execution on February 14 , 1S08. The authorities , not wanting to make a public spectacle of the af- lair , wont out Into the country as far as Twenty-fourth nnd Capitol avenue , where n rude gallows was erected. Baker was tuuen from the county Jail to this spot , the volunteer firemen doing special duty. In the produce of sovorrl hundred spectators the trnp was sprung by Deputy Sheriff Aaron Hoe ) . Kountzo Bros.1 bank occupied a small frame building on the northwest corner of Twelfth and Farnam , while the Nebraska bank did business In a two-story and buse- luunl tullding on tha southwest corner , the wives of which dripped water on Farnam snoot. Are Not There Now. The corner of Thirteenth nnd Farcam , whom the Merchants National now stands , was occupied by a small two-storv brick building , where Henry Puudt dialled out groceries ut retail , nnd 111 a low building further uu the street Vincent Berkley posed us a merchant tailor. Adjoining his place of business , in a low frame , W. H. Majors dealt in shues , hats and cap * at wholesale and re tnll. tnll.The The present site of the First National bank * was occupied by n two-story frame hotel , kept by Landlord Yorgus , nnd was the piaco where the Gorman farmers stopped when they came to town. It was known as tha Farmers Homo. " and sported a largo and commodious stable in the rear , next to the iilluy. At the dinner hour the landlord would go upon the roof nnd vigorously boat n liifgo trlun lo , inch could bo heard all ovi r iho city nnd surrounding country , Hi. John Goodrich occupied a building whore the Union Pacific uptown ticket ofllco now i and kept n "variety store , " in which he sold fancy goods and toys. Next door , to the west , the fattier ot Architect Charles Buludorff kept the Champion bakery , where bo retailed , bread , butter , biscuits and huns , The postofilco at that time was in tbe LbullrtlnK now occupied by Albert Cabn. The rebuilding occupied by the Model cigar store I \ > aa then rented by John McCormlck , who I wholesaled groceries there , nud In the next I room W. O. Maul and Milton Tootle of St , I .Joseph sold dry goods in Job lots. I Mayor Hollnmo then , as now , sold clothing I cm iliu southwest corner of Thirteenth and I I'Mnmtn , and in the same building , although I Jtas then only throe stories high , yet it I iv : : tcgardcd as the finest business clock In I the territory. I Milton Uogors was also doing business at I tto present stand at that tlmo , while a few I dorrs uway Ketchum ft Burns dealt Iu I crockery and cblnawaro , and James K. Isa I kept pure wines and liquors for medlclna ! I pui poses only , I Ou thu site of A. D. Mono'a shoo etoro was a one-story frnnio wherein wa * a saloon , and later n news depot. Back of tbo corner on which the Paxton hotel now stands was a blacksmith shot ) , while directly on the cor ner was the Empfro baltory In a two-story frame bulldlntr , controlled by Wlllnrd New- oil , now n resident of Blair , and Peter Dem- orest , of whom nothing ha boon lately as certained , The Farnaui Street theater slto was then ndornoj with ft two-story brick liv ery stable , an Immanso affair extending back to the alley nnd run by Wilbur St Ooffnmn. H afterward hccamo the Llnlngor-Motcalf warehouse , Scene ot a .Singular Accident. On the Ware block corner was then a one- story frame , buck of which was n foundry nnd machine shop. The one-story building afterward gave pluco to a two-story Brick in which Paxton & Gallagher handled their wholesale grocery traclo , nnd later wltne od the Joint efforts of Will Mlllnrd nnd Ed Peck to start In Ufa in the commission business. When the bulldinir was torn down n remark- nblo accident occurred thoro. A workman was taking out a largo light of heavy glass from the front , and wai standing on a board across the area wny , The board broke and ho fell , the glass falling upon him and sever ing the largo blood vessels of the nock. Ho ran across the street to find a doctor , but fell on the sidewalk. Medical aid was se cured and the doctor sat bc.Mdo him holding the ends of the severed arteries for several hours. Tbo injuries were finally dressed and the patient was removed to his room , from which ho emerged a few weeks later with onlv n scar and a stiff nock to show for his experience. On the stto of the Barker block was a two- story frame known as the Vallov house nnd run b.v Joseph Barlior. In the corner was the ofllco of the gas company. On the "Wn- bash corner" was Eb Dallow's saloon , in a frame building that looked ovou worse than the structure that Is now thcro. The old court house , Jail nnd sheriff's resi dence stood nt Sixteenth and Farnam , on the present slto of the Paxtou block. The court liouso was a two-story brick affair , With a shlnglo roof and rock foundation , and on it Governor James E. Boyd worked as n car penter. It is said that ho performed his work well , and that all joints were carefully fitted , but the building is now gone nnd the voracity ot the older citizens Is all there Is to fall back on regarding it. On tbo corner now occupied by Schroter's drug store was the two-story frame residence of ox-City ComptrolUr Goodrich , with a lone " row of trees nlonpr the SIxl.oontH street side" . The building is now on Howard street , be tween Eighth and Ninth. Thoio was nothing on the Board of Trade corner , but on the rear end of the lot stood No. 8 engine house , on which was the same bell that today Informs the startled public of the outbreak of every Hro In the city. This boll weighs only 800 pounds and has a re markably clear tone for so small a plcco of metal. A larger ono was purchased to re place It , but the metal was too soft nnd It was sent back , and no further attempt has been made to place the old bell on the re tired list. Church In Otioer Coinpnny. On the roar cn'd of the lot on which now stands the Commercial National bank was the Congregational church that later became a part ot the old Kedlcic opera bouso , In which Edwin Adams ladled out traacdy In week engagements and AliceOates drew her share of the crowds that finally caused an ominous cracking of the walls and timbers , and led to the condemnation of the building. The pro perty was afterwards offered as the capital prize in a rank swindle known as Patoo's lottery. It was drawn ostensibly by a Leav- onworth man , who came hero nnd blow In several dollars celebrating his good luck , but tha property turned up soon nftcrwarda in Pnteo's ' possession nnd wus sold by him. ' Sixteenth street marked the western bound ary of business , but a few bravo spirits ven tured to go a little further toward the setting sun , and the cottages of Hurry Deuol and E. Kosowatcr offered n slight rcsistonco to the breezes that swept over the top of Farnnin street hill. There wus little business on the cross streets , with the exception of Thirteenth , which showed UD well in the retail line and was the thoroughfare on which many of the lawyers' offices were located. filory ol u Itlvul Thoroughrara. - Douglas streot"was a rivalof , Farnatn for the distinction of being tbo best street , and the erection of the Hollman block was largely duo to the bulk'tng of the Academy of Music on Douglas street , which for a time scorned to give that avenue of trade a little undue prestige. The Academy of Music was managed in these days by old John Corrl , who subsequently died in the actors' homo in Philadelphia. There Edwin Forrest played to packed houses at $2 and $3 a ticket , the gallery seats bringing the former figure. Milton Nobles was a stock actor there , and Ucorgo A. Stevens , the author of ' 'The Un known , " presented his play , with Miss Debar , ulster of Iho well known St. Louis manager , in the role of the old woman. Miss Debar was leading lady there for some tlmo. The Metropolitan hotel at Twelfth and Douglas was a moro important structure then than now. Willis & Androscn were running a "high tonod" saloon on tbo very spot xwhero Andy Moynihau Is now setting out damp mixtures for the relief of suffering humanity , and Bunn & Martin conducted the drug store at Fourteenth and Douglas whore Fuller now dispenses all sorts of doses. The Omaha National hank then occupied the present quarters of the Omaha Savings hank , and on the present site of the Omaha National was the 'Methodist church , whore Ktv. Mr. Lemon , recently deceased , labored for tbo salvation of sinful souls. On tbo corner of Fifteenth and Douglas Kleffner & Markol sold Groceries and pro visions to the occupants of tbo dwellings and small shops around them. The poslolllco corner was occupied by Charley Lord's ' livery stable , nnd on the alto ot thoCreightou block the village blacksmith hammered out metallic music during twelve hours of every twenty-four. It was not until tbo following year that the Morrison house , later the Planter's , was built on block SO , soon to bo the slto of the now postoffice , and was run for years by Joslah Morrison. , During these years it was the hotel of the west. Waa Dumourutlc Tliut Yrar , Charles H. Brown was Omaha's mayor In 1607 , nnd bis ofllco was In J. J. Brown' * building at Fourteenth and Douglas , where , among other things , ha acted as police Judge , which In these days wus ouo of the duties of the mayor. W. P. Suowden was city marshal ; Frank Murphy , treasurer and collector ; Edward Whlleborn , assessor ; Wllllura L. May , city clerk ; Jeremiah Mahoney , street commls- slonor ; B. E. B , Kennedy , city solicitor ; Dr. J. K. Conklmg , city physician ; K. C. Barn ard , city engineer , John H. Green and Charlo * Magulro were the councilman from the First ward , John It. Porter nnd J. Hu- dowsky from the Second and Joseph Crcigh- ton and William Jones from the Third. It was In 18(17 ( that a portion of Jefferson square was leased to the Omaha seminary for five years ut an annual rental of ? 50. The seminary took 13 ! ! feet on tbe northeast cor ner and erected a school building on tbo grounds , but It seems tout the lessees were poor pay. and within a few months the council ordered thoschool house removed and pujsed a resolution forever dedicating tbo square to tbo people for park purposes , The question of using the block for other purposes has been frequently brought up slnco that time , among the schemes being ono to establish a market house there nnd nnotlier to make it tlio site of the now city hnll , but thanks to Intelligent opposition the park remains a park as of yoro. The council received n communication In May , 1607 , fro'm ono A , D. Huywnrd , who wrote that ho was building a vessel to plow the waters of tue lakes uad bait decided to name her "Omaha. " He wanted the council to recognize the honor by donating a sot of colors for his craft. Mayor Brown was in structed to convey to Mr. Hay word the city's thanks , and Inform him that when the vessel was completed the colors would bo forth coming , They were never purchased , how ever , for no official notification was after wards , received from the ship builder. Improvement * and Hospitality , III 1607 taxes In Omaha took an upward tendency , nnd the levy was Increased to 10 mills. Three now tire cisterns were dug at Tenth and Harnoy , Tenth uad Douglas and Sixteenth and Davenport , The license to open the Academy of Music and run it as a place of amusement was granted on May 1 of that year , and was issued to Messrs. Caldwell - well & Clapper. What was. known us the "Uocky Mountain Press excursion" passed through Omaha that year. It was made up of representa tive * of ail the loading papers of the east , and they wcro royally entertained by the citizens at the Cozzens hotel , at Ninth and Horpey , tbo building erected on tha spur of tbo mo ment by George Francl.s Trnia because of a fancied slight put UDOU him at tbo Horudou house , The council was asked to appropri ate money to pay for the entertainment , but that body concluded that It had no legal right to do so , and the necessary amount was raised by subscription among the business men. The result was n llboial and beneficial advertising of Umaha throughout the cast. At the end of that municipal year the city had a bonded Indebtedness of $39SM.nl , mostly for railway nnd flro purposes , but there was onouch money in the treasury to pay all outstanding claims except the bonded debt and leave a handsome balance. The following spring the Union Pactiio was voted $103,000 and tbo Northsostcrn was alvon an additional slice of $7,500. All In all 1S07 was a great year In Omaha's history , and had as much to do with materi ally advancing the prosperity ot the youthful city as 1892 bids fair to have with the Omaha of today. i : IX 1IKKMX.

This was es- peclallv the case with the Untor don Linden nnd approaches to the Thlorgorton , which were thronged with pcoplo nnd for the most part would-bo slghUeors nnd promonadcrs , The groups of rowdies and roughs which have constituted such a painfully conspicuous feature in the streets during the past few days for peace-loving Borllncrs were absent. No disorderly crowd followed the soldiers us they were relieving tha guard. The pollco state that the few mobs which gathered last night , but which were so quickly dispersed and after which compara tive qulot settled down over the city by ) o'clock , were ledbv " several' men carrying naked swords. While the pollco were engaged in suppressing these dis turbances a mounted policeman had his skull fractured , owing to his being struck on the head by a petroleum bottle thrown from a house. Of the persons arrested yesterday In connection with the Hots only twenty- throe hnvo been detained In custody. At80 : ! ! p. m. the situation appears to have greatly Improved. The pollco have com pletely regained the upper hand , Although largo crowds continue to collect before tbo imperial palace , the pollco have little diffi culty In keeping them in motion. Strong do- tuchrncnts of mounted pollco patrol tbo dis turbed quarters. In view of the moro ox- tonslvo measures taken to repress disorder , the alarm of the general public has abated. About 100 arrests were made hero today. It is reported that ono man wounded in the streets has died. Wllllum Toolc a Drive. Tbo emperor , accompanied by members of his family , tooK his usual drlvo in the Thiergarten today. Ho was heartily cheered by the populace all along tha routo. It was a matter - tor of common remark that during the recent disturbances the emperor and all the members of the Imperial family have always mot with a loyal reception whenever they have appeared In public. The troops , too , have always been warmly applauded by the populace while marching through the streets of the city. This , it is claimed , proves conclusively that the late troubles have not had tholr origin in personal hatred of the emperor and thnt uvcn the disorderly portion of the popu lation has no animus against the array upon whoso services the emperor would , of course , have to rely in case of n serious outbreak. The socialist members of the municipal council of Berlin have made a proposition that the city government begin various public works for the purpose of giving employment to the thousands now out of work. The president of the Police department todnv expressed tbo opinion tbat the dis orders wcro now at an ond. A FiSKNCH SKXATUU Ol. ERKK SILVER.

The conservative and radical Journais ogreq in , saying that the new cabinet is composed of the same elements as the preceding cabinet ; that It must , therefore , bavo a policy that has already been disapproved by the chamber and that the cabinet cannot last long. The constitutional rights party , now com prising forty deputies , has formally decided to accept the republican form of govern ment. Mr. Reid , the United States minister , will probably bo able to complete bis official busi ness within a fortnight , as tbo now cabinet contains ministers'vorscd in the negotiations with the United States representative. The proposed farewell banquet to Mr. Held will take place either March 10 or March 23. Senator Clammafjoran , formerly minister of finance , said today to an Associated Press representative : "Tho United States is on tbo downward track In political economy , which is evidenced by the triumph of pro tection , and tbo growing craze for free coin- ago. Franco had free coinage , but was forced to abandon itaud it will not prove moro successful in America , where the question Is agitated in the interest of silver mines. America is the richest country in the world and can afford the experiment of free coinage , whether It is good or not good , but the people must not delude themselves with the idea that Europe will take their silver money in any shape , especially since the McKinley law shuts out European products. They may obtain Intcrnationat silver congresses - grosses as often as they want them , but such conferences would bo without tangible re sult. Europe has eunuch silver already.

When Mr. Deacon was confronted by Mrs. Deacon yesterday the storloi told by the husband and wife wore ] ; contradictory that the judeo declined to re lease Mr. Deacon on parole. Friends of Mr. Deacon complained of this ac tion and also of the newspaper attacks on Mr. Deacon , who , they sny , because be shot a Frenchman , is du tabod a cowardly assassin , Some papers demand the repeal of tbo statute justifying the husband's crime in such cases , Mr. Deacon appealed to the Judge against those attempts to prejudice bis caso. Ho still displays forbearance toward his wlfo and refuses to bring any criminal charges against her. Mrs , Deacon flatly denied that sbo was guilty of any Impropriety , Nearly the whole day was occupied by tbo judge in reading thu husband's ' history of the past three years of his domestic life. Mrs. Deacon replied to the charges as the story was road and all her replies were recorded by tbe court offi cials.

The ochooi of the St. Louia convention 1m vo not died nwny ere the rank and fllo of the nlliod in- dustrml organization ! ) have begun to discuss the possible presidential candidates ol the national people's party. The convention for the nomination of candidates for president and vice president will not bo hold until July 4 at Omaha , and as both at the other loading parties will have niado their nomina tions by that time the people's party will bo In a position to mauo the strongest possible nominations for the purpoao of carrying the doubtful states In which their organizations have In tbo past manifested the greatest strength. General .lainos B. Weaver of Iowa , ouco the candidate of the greenback party for president of the United States ; lion. L. L.

"In my opinion , " said Representative Jerry Simpson of Kansas today , "General Weaver of Iowa is moat likely to bo the pee ple's party candidate for the presidency. At any rate ho has up to this tune boon the man desired In this connection. But I would not bo surnriuod If tbo sentiment m favor of Ignatius Donnelly assumed formidable pro portions. He has developed strength out of St. Louis , nnd the preamble to the platform which was written by him and which Is In my opinion ana of the most vigorous nnd classic nroductlons of modern literature- has won .Donnelly many friends , and ho will bo a prominent candidate If ho desires the nomination. As a matter of fact , 1 do not tnlnk that Weaver really euros for the nomi nation , although ho seems to bo a favorite and Is the man that is talked of among the formers alliance people. I think there Is no question out that President Polk of the farmers alliance will bo the candidate for vlco president , " Uunresentativo Watson of Georgia was compelled to'romain jn ( Washington to look after the legislative demands of his party , ana did not attend tlo ) St. Louis convention. Ho is earnest in Uis'appro ul of all that was done at St. Louis , howovcr , and thinks that the various industrial 'organizations are now fairly united on a commercial platform nnd into one political party < < Watson T'vols CSreiitly Eiicoiirngml. "Tho result of tub'St. ' "Louis convention , " said be , "has been a revelation to the bld- time politicians of tud' ' uo\intry. They have been predicting for weeks how wo were to moot at St. Louis Hlaillghtlng Kilkenny cats and then go to pieces nnd retire demoralized , but not a single onopf , their predictions has been realized. With loss friction than is encountered - countered In the usuaLnatianal convention of cither of the old par-has' , ' our people , ropro- Jsoiiting almost a sooro o ( different industrial arid 'reform organ lihtfons. have mat > 'at St. Louis and agreed upon a platform 'and ' dec'aration olcvprinclplos which nro agreeable to all and upon which thollebt will bo conducted all along the line and in every state in the union in the coming campaign. I .feel greatl.v epcouraged by the , .fact that all tbeso Industrial organizations coming 'there from different parts of the country , ' ' each ' 'with its favorite' plan and principles , were yet abla to bo harmonious , to pool their issues and to make ono declaration com mon to all , which will appeal vvaivnly to the reform sentiment of their country. I regard the platform as a very strong pro- soqtatiou of substantially the same principles as have called the various organizations into existence and upon which wa have been edu cating the people for the last four or five years and it will now command the full sup port of tbo industrial organizations of all classes. I bad myself no dou bt , this result would Do reached. Oinului Convention to Follow St. Louis' . "Neither have I any doubt that the Omaha convention will keep right In the middle of the road and select capable candidates , and that from the ofllclul boclunlng of this move ment at St. Louis wo will have a brilliant campaign which will bring the people into a more thorough understanding of the prin ciples of their government , and the changes that ought to bo made , than the country has known since tbo foundation of the govern ment. The Omaha convention will put into ofllcial party shape that Which was agreed upon at St. Louis by a convention of nonpartisan - tisan organizations. But It follows , as a log ical conclusion , that the campaign put en foot at Omaha will have to bo based substan tially upon the platform , enunciated at St. Louis. I iako it that the Omaha convention will merely reiterate the declarations of the St. Louis convention , and that our platform may bo sold to bu oven now practically before - fore tbo people. "As to who the candidates of the peoples party will bo , " continued Representative Watson , "I really cannot say , but I think tbo candidate for tbo presidency will bo some man who has boon well identified with this great revolt against the existing state of af fairs , who has made sacrifices for it , who is known for the fidelity with which ho has nerved In this cause ; and I . think It is quito unnecessary that such a man should bavo a barrel. I think the only question should be. 'is he identified with us'is bo a man of good standing , and is . ho a man of broad ability , fitted to load a campaign as a presidential candidate ) I' do not think that our success depends upon the amount of boodle that we can put in the campaign. Wo nro not a party of boodle and corruption.

Whnt the Wny nutl Mrnn * Majority ISo- port Will .Say of the Wool Iutlr < . WASMUiOTOX , D. C. , Fob. 28. The report * of the majority and minority of the house committee on ways and moans to accompany the Springer wool bill have boon prepared and will ho presented to thohouso tomorrow. The majority report was prepared by Mr. Springer and the minority report by Mr , Burrows of Michigan. The majority report says the Moltiutoy bill was passed with enormous rates of du ties , many of them prohibitory , and all of them unreasonably high. "Thoro can bo no good reason , " says the report , "for maintain ing such high taxes on articles which arose so necessary to the health and comfort of the pooplo. " A peculiar feature of the rates Is that owing to the high rates per pound and per square yard added to the ad valorem , the duties were highest noon the cheaper grades of goods worn by tha masses of tno pcoplo nnd lowest upon high-priced goods worn by these In better circumstances. "Twonty-llvo cent " comments the per , re port , "was all the protection that wool manufacturers In 1807 asked in order to onnblo them to compote successfully with their forolcn rivals , but it "soeins in the cnso of woolen goods , as In all others , the amount of protection required Incroasot from year to year. As the industries got older nnd bettor established inoro protoctlon is demanded. " No llcnellt to the Mumilnclurem. "Tho rates proposed in the bill submitted , " the report says , "aro llxod with duo regard to the labor , cost of production and to the necessities of the pooplo. The manufacturers of woolen goods have not been bonoflttod by the Imposition of high duties on wool and woolen goods. With the high protective tariff on the raw material , and compen satory and high ad valorem duties on the flnlshod product , nnd products limited to the homo market , woolen manufacturers cannot oven hope to Increase their productions beyond the annual Increase of population , If the law imposing an average tax of ! U per cent on goods composed wholly or In part of wool when imported does not increase the nrlco of domestic goods of like character , which do not pay any tax whatever - over , then the manufacturer receives no benefit from protective tariffs and should not object to their repeal. If domes tic goods nro increased in price by reason of duties Imposed upon forolcn goods of Ilka character , the extent or amount of this in crease is the measure of protection which domestic manufacturers receive. I'orciMl to Use a Chonpcr Mntcrlnl. "The shoddy produced in the United States In 1800 will amount to 100,000,01)0 pounds. The scoured product In that year amounted to only 9.2,000 pounds. It thus appears that the high protective tariff on wool , which was enacted with the avowed purpose of aiding wool growers , has forced manufacturers to use a cheaper material than wool ; and the competition which now threatens mostly the wool producers of the country comes from the ninety-four establishments manufacturing shoddy , rather than from wool growers in Australia and South Amor- lea. As the American producer of wool can not sell abroad at a profit ho must await the pleasure of the wool manufacturers , who are tils sole patrons. A high protective tariff on wool has the direct effect of limiting tbo demand for American wools , for the rea son that under such tariffs neither domestic wools nor domestic manufactures of wool can bo exported and sold at a pro In , and that amount only of domestic wool will bo purchased and consumed which will bo required tn mix with the foreign wool , which must bo used to produce the required Duality and quantity of goods to supply the homo market" As free sneer has increased the consump tion of sugar in 1S91 over 1890 24 per cent , the report looks for at least un equal increase in the consumption of wool goods If the bill passes. The report concludes : "It is not unreason able to assume that lower duties upon those articles , as well as a reduction of moro than half upon all woolen goods , would cause some increase of importance , for tbo reduction of duties would cheapen the price to oonj sumors. " The Minority Itcnort. The minority report combats at length and with much warmth the arguments of the majority. After declaring that the operation of the wool duties under tbo McKinley law made for increased consumption , which would call for increased homo manu facture as well as , temporarily at least , enlarged importations , it admits that it is impossible to esti mate accurately the effect upon revenues of changes on tariff duties. "By substituting , In Mr. Jefferson's well known phrase , 'econ omy for taxation , ' wo shall run no risk of causing a deficit in the revenues of the gov ernment , while lifting a grievous load of tax ation from the plain necessaries of life. Not only are wool growers and wool manufactur ers encouraged and benefited by the law , but the great body of the people , the consumers , have shared In those benefits. The people of the United States ilnd themselves able to secure all the woolens they require at a smaller cost than over before In their ox- norience. If cheapness Is the one thing to bo desired , it has certainly boon achieved under a tariff which enables a dollar to pur chase a larger and better quality of woolen goods than was possible under any previous tariff. "Tho committee's bill , " the report says , "deprive the wool growing industry in the United States at one blow of the entire tariff protection it has enjoyed under every tariff act since 18G7. It can but once effect a com plete and final abandonment of the effort to reduce the supply needed for the clothes of our pcoplo. Illow at the Agriculturists. "It does not moan cheaper wool for the masses , but it does moan the wiping out of great properties , the curtailment of our In dustrial resources and is a savage blow aimed at our agriculturists , without the prospect of compensating benefits iu auy quarter. "Tho majority seek to reconcile both Inter ests to their measure and in so doing may destroy their own elaborate reasoning in both directions. If they romovo'tho duty to cheapen wool to the manufacturer * , then they Injure the farmer. If they remove the duty to Increase the price to the farmer , then they injure the manufacturer. Political oxi- genoy scorns to require that both tbo farmer and the manufacturer should bo protected , The bill mav be characterized as ono not only to destroy our domestic wool industry at a blow , but also to build up , on British soil , anew now and Important industry to supply tbo United States with scoured wool at the ex pense of the largo class now engaged in the occupations of wool sorting1 and wool scour- Ing. " The minority report does not defend the use of shoddy ; and it especially denies the statement that it Is stimulated by the duty on wool as to the amount which falls in the face of free trade England , which has been ap propriately called tbo birthplace f shoddy , and usually consumes a greater quantity of this adulterant than the United States. InUufoinllilo Discrimination. Under the law as it is proposed to ma no it the United States will become the dumping ground for all tbo worthless refuse of the world. The assault on the woolen goods schedule Is denounced as a violent discrim ination against a particular manufacture , in defensible on , any grounds and condemned by Its injustice ulono. Of the effect on rovo- iiuos the report says the amount of the woolen duties during the past year was Ml,425- 031. On tbo same amount of imports under the proposed bill $10,575,203 would bo col lected , a reduction of $21,831,437. The report In conclusion assails "tho chimera of foreign markets. " Itaays : "Tho protective policy of the United States is now followed to a greater or less degree by ovcry important nation , Great Britain alone axcepled. The proposed abandonment of thU policy in the United States In the faoo of Its con tinuance and extension ovurywboro would afford to Grqnt Britain the outlet for her surplus woolen products , which she cannot' ' otberwlsp obtain. Those who would deliber ately Bliapo our fiscal legislation to this cna have a purblind vision of the present Industrial situation of thu world. England. Franco and Germany nud also tbe United. States nro engaged in a tre mendous struftjlo for Industrial supremacy. "No Industry ip 'well demonstrate ? our progress as the wool manufactures , which has crown In tblrty yaars 87.0 not writ In tuo United States , aaa only 07 per cent In Great Britain.1 READY TO TRY IT ALL OVER President Oarnot Has a Oablnot nuil French Politics Hare Calmed Down , IT MAY BE OVERTHROWN TOMORROW I.ouhct Witt Ante n Votn of Conthlcneo at the Otitsot , Which Ho imy Not ( lot Mine.

The visible1 attack was directed against him. 1 do not wish to defend the former minister of the interior. I bollofo his ability has been over estimated. Ho has boon moro lucky than great , but certain of bis colleagues have not acted well toward htm. Yesterday M. Rouvlor visited him and said : "I will never remain without you. " But there ho Is , in the uow cabinet , just tbo samo. The first day of the crisis M. Carnet sent for M. Constant , and said to him : "Don't worry , You will bo In the now combination. " Yet no ono worked harder against M. Con- stans than M. Carnet , except , possibly , Mme. Carnot. I.llcoH to 1'lay the Queen. I have many times before pointed out the part played by Mmo. Carnet , a port that grew greater during this crisis. Mmo. Carnet not dcitostcd Mmo. Constans. At the last recaption at the Elysocs the president's wife did not address a word to Mine. Constans , but deliberately turned tier bacic on her. Mme. Carnet also caused the the resignation of another minister , M. Yves Ouyot , bocaURO Mmo. Ouyot the other day asked the prlco of butter and milk of the Spanish ambassador's wife , the duchess of Mnndas , who thereupon gossiped with her In the true housowlfo fashion. Mmo. Carnet regards horsolt as tbo queen of France , and plays her part accordingly. She wishes herself - self and the wives of cabinet ministers to bo great ladies , and all anecdotes ana gossip orTond. Not u Very Solid AfTalr. The president's chances of re-election In 1895 bavo been lessoned by the crisis , and it has been whispered slnco the first day of the crisis that all was aimed at M. Constans. Ho should have acted moro openly , and should not have made complaints to all the public men for whom ho sent to form a cabi net. When M. Loubot yesterday was on tbo point of breaking out , M. C-irnot tearfully said : "Tho external situation U such that I am willing to sacrifice every thing In order to retain the foreign minister and the minister of war. Tbo rest I do not care about. I cannot too strongly urge you to form a cab inet. " M. Loubot thereupon undertook the task. It Is his intention to propose a vote of con fidence next Thursday. It is possible that his overthrow will follow without delay , and that would put us absolutely in a hole. JACQUES ST. OEIIE. UNDER llAKRtrfAS * BAN.
