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-

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

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

he sold fancy goods and toys. Next door , to
the west , the fattier ot Architect Charles
Buludorff kept the Champion bakery , where

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.

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.

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.

BKIIUX , Fob. 28. At 2:80 : o'clock this af

peclallv the case with the Untor don Linden

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

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.

Tbo emperor , accompanied by members

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.

that It must , therefore , bavo a policy that

Senator Clammafjoran , formerly minister

representative : "Tho United States is on

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

CANNES , Fob , 28. When Mr. Deacon was

storloi told by the husband and wife wore ] ;

Mr. Deacon complained of this ac

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

against her.
Mrs , Deacon flatly denied that sbo was
guilty of any Impropriety , Nearly the whole

of his domestic life. Mrs. Deacon replied to

K , D. O. , Fob. 28. The ochooi
of the St. Louia convention 1m vo not died
nwny ere the rank and fllo of the nlliod in-

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

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

party for president of the United States ;

of the National Farmers alliance ; lion.
Ignatius Donnelly of Minneapolis ; United

candidates of the pooplo's ' party.
lictwcrn AVruvur mill Donnelly.
"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 , "

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

> '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. I
believe that our strongest plan of campaign
will bo to appeal straight and frankly , to the
sense and conscience of the people and to
avoid as far as possible tbo machine methods
of the boodle politicians against whom wo
have raised this revolt. " " .

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

M. Constnns wrecked his party. Opposed
by M. do Froyclnot nnd M. Carnet ho had to
Bounder. 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.
