The doors ot tbo remodeled Coliseum were
opctlcd Insi night and the public admitted lethe
the annual exhibition of tno Manufacturers
and Consumer * association. The visitor *
ontciod via the Inclined plnno ns usual , but
upon pnssli.g the doorkeepers they wcro
greeted by such a scene as had never before
bocn witnessed In iho Coliseum building.
The whole Interior wnj nblazo with
electric lights , and them was such
( Uttering medley of colors , such n
whirring of wheels and humming of dynamos ,
such n flashing nnd sparkling ot brass nnd
tilcltle , such n roar of voices ana crushing of
mu.Ma tnat ho paused to catch his breath and
collect his families before plunging into the
h u in un stream which flowed through the
olsles and corridors.
'llio exposition Is moro than a succcs , It Is
o triumph , and to particularize any of the
exhibits U to blight others equally as
Meritorious. The Immense nmpultboator
is illlod with booths arranged In
circles about u magnificent eontor-
plcco In thn form of n Moorish lomplo nnd
each booth has hnd bestowed upon It hard
w > rk and nrtlstio ability. A great noauty of
the display In Its variety , there being very
low duplications of any ono line of manufac
ture or trado. To sco It all and see It
thoroughly Is the work of hours , and oven
when ono has rmido tbo circuit of the build

surprises.

Vrotuctlxo Association.
The exposition which was opened last
evening , nnfl which occasioned so much pop
ular interest , Is by no means Iho first over
hold in Otuuha , but It is decidedly different
from any that have preceded It. The expo
sitions of the past hnvo uaen purely local af
fairs , usually conducted by private individ
uals us a raouoy mailing scheme , and have
been thrown open to every ono wno had
goods of any kind which they might bo de
sirous of bringing to the attention of the pen-
plo. The managers of these expositions have
usually followed the policy of charging the
oxhibltftrs a good round price for their space ,
allowing them as much space as they were
wilting to pay for , and at the same tlmo
charging spectators for admission.
The present exposition differs from that of
tbo past in several essential respects. In the
first place , it is n state enterprise in which
Ouiabu is only ono of the interested cities.
Acalu It Is not a money making scheme , but
is conducted by tbo Manufacturers and Con
sumers Association of Nebraska for the pur
pose „ of awakening in the people
lonewcd Interest in the manufac
turing Industrie ! ! of tbo ctato ant ) ,
at the same tlmo , of convincing Ihom of the
varioly and general excellence of the pro
ducts of their homo factories. For Ihbt rea
son only Nobrusicu manufacturers have boon
allowed to malco exhibits and , to ull such us
were willing lo Join the association , space
was allowed free of ch'.nfjn
In view of Iho fuct that the exposition has
boon undertaken by n commercial or anima
tion of comparatively recent origin a brief
review of its history may uot bo out of place
in this connection ,
Tht ) Crop I'alliire.
The failure of Iho crop of IbOO and Iho con
sequent commercial depression succeed
ing it turned the attention of Iho
people of Nebraska in iho direction of the
manufacturing Indusltlcs. It seemed lo
dawn upon Ihu people of a sudden that so
long as the prosperity of this state was de
pendent solely upon agricultural interests so
long business stagnation would follow upon
the heels ot crop failure. All over the stale
men wcro saying , "Our cities have become
lee largo to * live entirely from Iho irada fur
nished bv Iho farm , and wo IIIUDI have largo
ur.d ulvc a manufacturing Industries , winch
will support our growing population , In
crease tno amount of money in general circu
lation und create sulllciunt wealth to place
the stalu on u moro solid basis. " But how
to secure this much desired icsult was the
problem seeking a solution. Sonui said wo
must raise bonuses und Induce manufacturers
to raovo hero from other stales , poor men
having no money and the wealthy being un
willing to part with it for that purpose.
Others said wo mtul advertise the resources
of our state and bv that means attract capi
tal. After ull the various opinions were dis
cussed and weighed the problem of ' How
shall wo secure manufacturing industries
and mauo our smto uioro than un agricultural
community ! " was no nearer a solution.
At this point ' 1'lifi BKIS commenced an In-
ventilation among the manufacturers at
Omaha and teen discovered that there were
already u | ar a numoer of factories turning
out u groa' . variety of goods , but that the
majority ot thoao Institutions were running
vorv much below the full capacity ot plants ,
owliitf to the small demand for their products.
Again , Inquiry into the uauso of this condi
tion , led tq tbo Ulicovury of another
fuel thn people bad become accustomed ,
bolero thd location of thcs' ) factories , to the.
use of goods of eastern muko and wnro loth'
to change over to goods of local manufacture ,
concerning the quality of which they wora
entirely iunoiunt. ,
H was still further noted that local inanu-
faclurors , dUregardltiB thd example of their
eastern competitor * , who annually HpcnU
vast sums ol money In advertising tholr pro
ducts to tlio consumer , thus creating a uo-
umnu ( or thorn und compelling Jobbers and
retailers alike to carry thorn In stocn. had
wasted all their efforts in trying to coux
dealers to handle coeds ( or which there was
no Inquiry. It was found that oven wTdo-
awake and public spirited cltltens ilia uot
know of the existence or some of the most
Important manufacturing plauti la tha city ,
uud consequently bad gene on asking tholr
dealers for the old familiar brands , and mer
chants to supply the demands of tholr cus-
toniors had Continued handling those brands
to tl\o \ oxcluslpn of homo made goods. Local
manufacturers , who were ndvlsoil lo try iind
create n demand for tholr poods by advertis
ing them to the consumer , nrguoa that they
had lo sell lo iho dealer , and that ho was
the man they must roach , although It was
pointed out to them that eastern manufac
turers had pursued u contrary policy
nnd that ono Chicago manufac
turer alone spent moro money
in advertising his goods In the uotvspnpers
of Omaha than all iho mauulauturcrs ol
Omaha combined.
Origin n f Home 1'ntroimga.
Kcnllzlng the truth of the assertion In the
mouths of citizens tbat something must ho
done to build "up iho manufacturing Indus
trie * of the state , Tin : BBK decided to do this
something And to do It In the only practica
ble way , namely , by commencing nt the very
foundation of all trade , that is by appealing
directly to tbo consumer , the man who oats ,
drinks nnJ wears the products of the factory.
To do this It was necessary first lhat the
people should bo Informed as lo what kind
of goods were made In tholr vicinity and , at
the same tlmo , to hold up to tholr view the
nooosmty of purchasing these goods In preference -
foronco to others if they wished to build up
the manufacturing Industries of thslr city ,
This was the origin of the so-called "homo
patrotiago movement" In Nebraska which
has allmctcrt so much attention and from
which such favorable- results have already
been secured.
The first of a long scries of articles , aggro-
gatlne several hundred columns , was pub
lished on Aucust 10,1891. "If you wish your
factories to grow ami now ones to bo started
you must buy their products , " said Tin : Bun.
"Wo believe it , " answered the consumer ,
"but whcro are the factories and what do
they manufacture ! " To answer llns Inquiry
Tin ! BKI : published from week lo week ji do-
scnpllon of the different factories , taking
them up In order , showing the kind ot Roods
made by thum , comparing quality and price
with similar goods from other stiles and
showing now iho transfer ot the people's
palronugo from distant fnctorlos'to thoao lo
cated Rt homo would give- employment to
hundiM.lsof additional men , would place
hundiciu of thousands of dollars In circula
tion nnt'i add untold wealth to tliu
community. With each succeeding-
article thn Interest of the consumers
Increased and they commenced demanding of
tholr dealers homo made Roods. The rapid
increase In the demand for their products
convinced tlio manufacturers tbat tlio right
chord bad boon struck , and when Till ! UKII ,
in an article published \ugust ItO , IS',11 , called
upon them to organize for the purpose Of
stimulating Iho "homo patronage movement , ' . '
they were ready to act on the suggestion.
"Let a few enterprising manufacturers issue
a cull for a mooting of all faclory owners , ' *
saidTur. , fti-.n , nnd the call was issued , being
signed by W. A. Pnco Soap company , far-
rcll & Co. , Omaha Tin Can Manufacturing
company , Koos Priming company , Quealey
Soap company and Robinson Notion com
pany.
Manufacturers Meet.
In response to this call 150 manufacturers
met on beptcmbor " 0 In Omaha and teen the
Initial stops for the organization of what is
now known hs "The Manufacturer * and
Consumers Association of Nebraska. " Oo
that occasion thooftorts of Tun BIIK were
recognized in the following resolution , which
was carried without a dissonling vole :
\\horeas. Tin : OMAHA liin by advocating
the cause of the manufacturers cf this clly
lias oariloil tlie thanks of not only the inaiiti-
facliuors. but of everyone Interested In the
fin nre prosperity of Uniuha. thorofore. bo it
Kt-Milvcd. That the
secretary of thlstnerl-
Itr1)0 Instt acted to express to Tin : Her. Its
huaity appreciation of Iho course puisucd by
Hint paper.
A.Stuto Institution.
At this meeting of the manufacturers It
was shown that iho interests of tbo manu
facturers of the whole .statovcro identical
nnd that by all combining they could worx to
much batter advantage. It was urguod that
Omaha was sending hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to distant points , when
the money might bo kept within the state by
patronizing factories locntod in the different
JS'obrasKn cities. Accordingly the manutnc-
lurors organized Ihomsolves fnto a'state as-
scclntion. The object of the association1 was
stated in article ii of the constitution as fol
lows : ' '
Tno object of this association shall bo to
promote uoino Industry by encouraging the
purchase of Nebraska products and manu
factures.
The membership of the association was di
vided Into iwo classes , active members , to
consist of Nebraska manulacturcrs , and gen
eral members , 10 bo made un of such citizens
of Iho stuto as should sign an agreement to
give a preference to goods manufactured in
the stato. The activa members bear ull the
expenses of Ihe orgnnlznllou. It. might bo of
interest to remark bora that over 8,000 heads
of families have signed the roll of general
membership.
The constitution provides for Ibo manage
ment of the association ihrough u board of
directors , every five members in any
clly or lown being entitled to 0110
director. This form of organization
practically gives the manufacturer * lu every
city n local organIzallou , the directors being
able to cill together the local members at any
lima for consultation.
The association was most fortunate in
olccling men lo fill iho directory who hnvfl
shown themselves ready and willing to glyo
their time lo iho work in bund , and iho suc
cess of iho association has been duo largely
lo this fact.
It was soon fauna that tbo board of direct
ors was too cumbersome in point of numbers ,
and the members nccotdingly appointed nn
executive committee to woru under their
direction und lo look after tbo details con
nected with the management of the associa
tion. Iu the appointment of this commltleo
Iho associulion was again exceedingly forlu-
nuio , for u moro enthusiastic and onorcallc
body of men could not bo found In tha whole
stale. They huvo hold meetings every week ,
sometimes oflenor , and have given up an
immense amount of tlmo in working for the
public pood.
In most organizations n largo proportion of
the work falls upon Iho president , and iho
Manufacturers association was again exceed
ingly lorlunulo in electing lo tua' , position a
man who was willing to attend to tha
association's business first and to his prlvulo
affairs when bo had time.

The Increase In the Omnha business of the
Missouri Paclllr , said lo amount to i > 0 per
cent , is largely the outcome of the light of
the jobbers of this cltv to have the Iowa lines
ubborb tlio Union PnciUu bridge toll on
lornl shipments Into lowu. Four months
ago the Commercial association turu.it-
encd to divert the wcst-Dound builnu of
Us members to a line made up of the SnnUi
Fe and the . .Ilssoun Puoillc. The munacers
of the Iowa Hues persuaded the association
lo delay action until after iho adjournment
of the Iowa legislature on the plea that that
body might enact retaliatory luglslatlon if
the concessun were in ado. The railroads did
not take iho dbslrud notion after such ad
journment , and the movement to organka a
freight bureau that should absorb the Com
mercial association prevented iho latter from
pulling its pronoscd boycott into eftoct.
Many Individual members of the association ,
however , have quietly diverted some of their
liusinrss to the Sauta Ifo-Mlssourl Paclllu
line. Tills Is u round about route , making
comparatively slow lime , und tne traftlc so
diverted has been only such us had plenty of
time to roach Us destination ; but the fuct
lhat this unorganized movement has had the
nifcct of makinir Iho Iowa lines dsmand re
lief is Idling evidence of what a pressure the
Omaha jobbers can bring to boar by a
united action.
