WASHINGTON . Nov. 4. )
Todny a domocratlo member of the ways
and means commlttco stated to TUB Una
man that It bad been finally determined to
Increase the tax on beer and other malt
liquors to2 a barrel ; that It was the orig
Inal purpose of the committee to make no
change in the internal taxes , but the dcm
ocratlo members of the ways and means
committed had como to the conclusion that a
bill which would raise suflltlent customs
revenues to meet the expenses of the govern
mcnt with the present internal taxes could
not pet through the senate , ns there are a
number of democrats In that body who op
pose the lowering of duties on certain nrtl-
cles. mid who will not permit such changes
In the customs duties as will sufficiently in
crease the customs revenues.
It has ; il.so been Drnctlcally decided ttmt a
duly will bo lidded to sugarof cither I ecntor
> f cent a pound , The democrats on the ways
and means committee say that by increasing
the tax on malt liquors to fcJ a barrel the
retail piico will bo only slightly. Inctoascd ,
anil the burden must fall upon the Growers ,
who are declared to ho rich and well able to
take this tax from their profits.
Contriict finally Awurilml.
The papers finally closing the. award of
contract to tlio Drcxols for the stone work
of the new federal building nt Omaha have
all been signed and delivered , and there remains -
mains nothing now to further the beginning
of the work. Mr. Droxcl has loft Washing
ton for his homo with expectation of the be
ginning of operations as soon as the granite
can bo received from Colorado. The terms
of the contract uro as anticipated in TUB
Bn : special.
To ( Innrantco StHblllty.
There Is talk in congress about the adop
tion of a Joint resolution In advance of tariff
tctlon which will provide that no tariff law
which may In future bo enacted shall bo re
pealed or modified under llvo years.
The object Of &uch a measure Is plain on
Its face. It would plvo manufacturers , labor
undiilealers in manufactures a guar.mtco that
there would bo no dlsturunnco under a new
tariff law within a given time. Now those
who operate under a tariff law never know
how soon they will encounter an important
change , and have their plans tuid capital
disturbed. Of course , a law of this charac
ter would not bo binding upon any subse
quent congress ; it could only bo effective by
general consent and proper respect to the
spirit which made it. It Is behoved that
there would bo so much respect for it , out
of a general dc&irc to establish a precedent ,
that it would bo regarded sacredly.
A measure of this character could bo
pushed through In advance of action on the
tariff bill , by party action if necessary ; but
republicans have Intimated that unless they
were confident that the new tariff law waste
to "bo revolutionary and unreasonable
which is hardly possible , considering the
closeness of the senate , where there will al
ways be mono or less liberty in debate and
notion they wjould Join in supporting the
proposition , so as to have it go into law as a
nonpartisan sentiment.
Mint Compote with Germany.
Official information comes from Germany
to the effect that the Germans are seeking
n foreign trade for their machinery for the
first time. Heretofore the demand for agri
cultural implements , engines , machinery of
all kinds for manufactories and contrivances
widen enter into the industries has oecn
sufficient in Germany to absorb the supply ,
with the exception of course of a few rare
articles Hko those produced by Krupp and
great ship builders. The Germans , how
ever , have been imitating the * Ampricans in
the production of machines until the mills
of that country are supplied with all of the
Improvements that are to bo found in the
United States , and furthermore they find an
overproduction.
Strange , but the Gnrmnns , in their efforts
to secure an export trade for their ma
chinery , nre not turning their faces toward
our country. They are manufacturing so
many Imitations of American products that
they do not care to place them In competi
tion with the genuine article ; but the Ger
mans arc coming more directly into competi
tion with American manufacturers than if
tlioy were to como on our own soil. They
nro going into South mid Central America
and numerous out of the way portions of
the world , like Africa and Japan with tholr
products. It. is reported that the Gorman
exhibits nt the World's fair were the first of
the kind ovur maao away from homo , and
that ttioy mean an aggressive future in the
contest for an export trade. American
manufacturers of everything In the line of
it on , steel , glass and woodwork will find
Germany n sharp competitor wherever they
may go in the futuro.

WASHINGTON' , Nov. 4 - In reply to Inqui

hat the actual resumption of the co'nngo ' of
silver dollars hns not < n yet bcon ordered ,
but the mints Imvc been directed to manu-
'ftoturc the Ingots ami blamn so as to bo
prepared to resume the coinage at short no

s.ild an official of the Treasury department
today , when questioned concerning the
amount of slhcr that nan bo coined by the
government when the work of coining the
million purchased under the Sherman law Is
put Into practical operation , I
' There will not bo any coinage of silver .

present the dcpartmetit.lt istmdorstuod.wlll
content Itself with the coinage of dollars
only at the two places named , The seignior-
nee on this will amount to approximately
$7f > 0XX ( ) per month , the department having
paid for the silver purchased under the
Sherman nut nt the average rate of IK,1 ! cents
per ounco. Thn mints at San Francisco and
at Now Orleans nre now mnnufnctnrlng tlio
ingots mid blanks for the dollars upon which
the Impressions are to be made. "
In view of the expected coinage of the sil
ver dollars the question hns already been
asked whether the treasury can issue irons-
ui'i notes against the seigniorage , which , If
the whole ninount of bullion were coined ,
would amount to . about 150.000,000. An
onirlat of thu Treasury department , to whom
the question UU9 put , said ouch notes could
not ho Issued against the selgntonmo and in
support ( if this asscitlon ho quoted the fol
lowing clausu from the Sherman law : "But
no creator or lessor amount of such ( treas
ury ) notes shall bo outstanding at any time
tlmn the cost of the silver bullion and the
standard silver dollars coined therefrom
held in the treasury purchased by such
notes. " *
Ho said , however , th.it the seigniorage
could bo deposited In the treasury and sil
ver certificates Issued against it , which
would bring about the same result as the
Issuance of treasury notes would so fur as
increasing the circulating m dium Is con
cerned. But they would bo redeemable
only In silver and not In coin , that is gold
and silver as the treasury notes are. It Is
said the treasury notes Issued under the
Sherman act , which wore redeemed In gold
from time to time , amounted to 52,000.000.
Some question has also arisen as to
whether any of the bullion might bo coined
into subsidiary silver , but the law on this
subject is also explicit , as it requires that
the secretary shall each month coin 2,000-
000 ounces of sliver bullion purchased under
the provisions of the net into standard silver
dollars.

WASHIXOTO , Nov. 4. The populist mem
bers of congress , Including senator ; * and
members of the house , today Issued an pd-
dress appealing to the people to take up the
sliver cause , The name of Senator Jones of
Nevada appears among the signers. The ad
dress begins with n statement of the aggre
gate debts of the world and of the gold and
silver in existence , culls attention to the
fact that the arts require almost the total
gold production , and says the decrease of the
volume of this metal caused by hoarding has
caused It to appreciate 40 or 50 per cent. The
address continues :
Synopsis or the Addrrin.
"The repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman bill destroys silver ns money of
lUlmato redemption and reduces that metal
o credit money , to ( low only by redemption
ngold. The $1.100.000,1)00 ) In paper and sil
ver now In circulation must rest upon less
ban $100,000,000 of gold In the treasury as
available for redemption. The only reason
'or demountable silver was to enhance the
vnluo of gold and obligations payable in such
nonoy. It is further prouosed to sell bonds
of the United States and buy fold to
strengthen the icscrves In the treasury.
National banks will use the bonds for banlt-
ngundissuo thulr notes , upon which the
icopto must pay Interest , as well us on the
jonds. "
After reviewing the silver legislation since
IS7II it Is asserted that the secretary sur
rendered the option to piy in silver to the
exporters of gold without consideration and
then proclaimed that the Sherman act was
driving irold out of the country. The address
criticises the democratic party aim nsserts
the Sherman act Interfered with the estab
lishment of a gold standard , and that the
New York and London hankers , and the
present admlulstiatton In the United States
and the Gladstone government in England ,
conspired to force its repeal.
"Tho president Issued a call for an extra
session of congress , in which ho attributed
thn panic which he himself had aided to
create to the Shormun act. "
Contest O\cr tlio llencnl lllll.
lleforrlng to the contest over the repeal
bill in the sonata the address says it con
tinued until the gold power and federal
patronage could induce a majority of that
body to submit to executive dictation. The
goltl press in every commercial center
teemed with misrepresentation , insult and
nbuso of the unpurchaseable defenders of
the people. Banks , boards of trade and the
commercial press demanded a vote without
debate. The power of money was felt on
every hand. Intimidation ami threats of
personal violence loaded the malls of sen
ator ; , . Unusual and cruel hours wcro resorted -
sorted to to exhaust the advocates of silver
and deprive them of an opportunity of
putting upon the record their reasons why
the people should noc bo robbed for the
benefit of the money changers.
The document ends with an npn < * al to the
people to study the question and with this :
"Trust no man who oiieo betrayed you ; put
no faith in any president who assumed dic
tatorial power ; do not bo overawed or in
timidated by Wall street and the power of the
national banks. When the people rise in
their might , intrigue , cunning , usurpation ,
bribery and corruption will vanish before
them. "

must bo sought at the ballot box. Catechize

pledge every candidate for congress to work
and vote for the restoration of the con
stitutional standard of money , uith the coin-
ace of both metals without discrimination

Tun BEE. j Unusually prosperous times will
be experienced in this section this winter by
reason of the construction of the now Lower
Brulo Indian agency. Contracts aggregat
ing but little less then $40,000 have been lot
for the now buildings at the agency , and the
work of construction has now been com
menced. All the lumber , stone and other
materials necessary for the buildings must
bo hauled by team from hero to the site for
the now agency , about thirty-five miles up
the Missouri river , on the west side of that
stream. As there will ho in the neighbor
hood of 1,000 wagon loads of building
material to bo hauled this dis
tance , itwill roidlly bo seen
that every farmer or other person owning a
team can engage In the work If they desire ,
thus being enabled to earn snug sums of
money ut a time when their borviccs are not
needed on the farm. Two days will bo
necessary for making a trip , so that every
night ttiero will bo hundreds of wagons and
teamsters in the city until the following
morning. In addition to the vast amount of
material that will bo transported to the
locution of the now agency , there will bo
the regular Indian.supplics to bo hauled to
botli Crow Creek and Lower Brulo agencies.
Tlio supplies of coal alone will consist of
nearly 500 tons. Scores of carpenters and
other workmen will also bo engaged. Thcro
