NEBRASKA INDUSTRY AND THE TARIFF
J. 0. Ilnmllton Tull * of the I'Mcct of tlio
Ullnoil Hill oil the Iti-L-t M'K'ir lu-

CoinpHli'il to Clout UOHII.
J. G. Hamilton , secretary ot the Norfolk
Beet Sugar company , arrived In Omulia yes
terday on hla way tioine from the vast.
Ho lias spent several months In Washington
and New York In company with Henry T.
Oxnard , president of the Grand Island und
Norfolk companies , nnd was In Washington
during the whole of the tariff tight , Messrs.
Hamilton and Otnard labored Incessantly to
save the Ntbraska factories from the gen
eral wreck , but tlio Sugar trust was too
powerful n factor In the contest.
Mr. Hamilton talked freely to a representa
tive of The Dec at the MllUrd. Ho tnkis
1 i a gloomy outlook on the beet sugar Industry
In Nebraska and believes that unless the
policy of the government Is very materially
changed the Nebraska factories will be
coirpelled to go out of existence In another
year.
"Under the new tariff bill passed at the
tllctitlon U the Sugar trust , " snld Mr. Hamil
ton , "wo are practically ruined In Nebraska
Wo started oul flvo y ars ape with the In
tention of building ten sugar factories In
Nebraska and California. We have built
three , und Instead of building nioro may he
compelled to abandon these already In opera
tion at Chlno , Grand Islam ! and Norfolk.
"Under the operations of the AIcKlnlcy
tariff law our factories were slowly but
surely gaining the confidence of the farmers
of Nebraska. Wo were paying ? 5 per ton
for beets and at this figure the farmers were
raising beets nt a. liberal prollt. They were
beginning to become enthusiastic over beet
culture. As a proof of this assertion I
have only to cite you to the fact that the
first year wo commenced operations nt Nor
folk the farmers raised but 300 acres of
beets. Last year they raised 000 acres.
while this year they have a crop ot 4,200
acres , and we were compelled to close our
contract books last April bec.iusa more beets
were likely to be raised than v > e could \\ell
take care of.
"Under the new tariff bill we cannot pay
more than $4 per ton for beets delivered at the
factory. Wo make contracts during the
months of Octcber and November. We
shall send out circular letters at once mak
ing a frank statement of our situation , giv
ing accurate figures representing : the loss nt
will sustain and ask the beet raisers to sus
tain just one-half of that loss. In otlu-i
words , In order to run the fnctcry on the
new basis we should have to piircha&e beet :
at $4 per ton. AVe are willing , however , tc
divide the loss.
HAWAIIAN SUGAIl FRED.
"No one not Intimately acquainted \\Hli
the beet sugir Industry is In a position tt
realize the full extent of the bargain be
tween the United States senate and the
Sugar trust. Here Is one phase of the deal :
Under the new law raw sugar Is taxed al
the rate of l'i cents per pound nnd the
bounty taken off. That means that HIE
sugar producers of the United States are
deprived of the bounty and these of Ger
many and France are compelled to pay c
tax. The sugar producers of the Hawallar
Islands , however , have the privilege o ;
bringing their sugar to the United State ;
free under the reciprocity treaty. Tin
Hawaiian factories are entirely owned b >
the trust , and If required to pay the ta >
would have to pay the government bctweer
$5,000,000 and $ < 5.0QO,000 on this year's
product alone. The reciprocity provision
therefore , makes the Sugar trust a gift o
this amount of money.
"Another friendly factor for the Sugai
trust Is the ad valorem duty. The Unltei
States says to the importer that ho inus
pay a tax of 40 per cent on the value c
the sugar he Imports , assessed upon tin
value of the product at the place of pur
chase. This means that the lmprteili.n :
the opportunity of defrauding the govern
ment by buying sugar In Germany nnd bay
Ing It billed at a low and fictitious price
and then by a deft manipulation of the ens
terns house Inspectors secure the admlsslai
of the sugar so billed Into the United States
The Sugar trust has already overstockei
the country with raw sugar. The ware
houses nt every eastern seaboard are literal ) ;
overflowing with sugar , and these accumula
tlons were brought here before the new lav
went Into effect. As a result the Sugai
trust his reaped millions and the pecpli
will be required to stand the loss.
WHAT NEBRASKA LOSES.
"Nebraska Is just beginning' to realize tin
Importance of tlio sugar Industry In thi
state. The people around Norfolk already re
allze It. Last year we paid out JS.OOO fo
wages In our factory during the seventy day
wo were operating. We paid out $126,00
for beets to the fanners , The workers Ii
the beet fields were paid about $1,400 per da ;
for the season. .All of this money was spen
In Norfolk. In addition we paid the Unloi
Pacific and Elkhorn railroads $100,000 Ii
freights , and purchased and" used In th
manufacture of sugar 300 car loads ot Urn
stone , nil of which was quarried In Cas
county. So the people of I'lattsmouth a
weir as of Norfolk felt the beneficent result
ot a home factory. These figures upply t
the Norfolk factory nloriv. They would b
nearly duplicated by the Grand Island fac
tory.
"The great Flatte valley could easily sup
port fifty sugar factories like the ones nov
In operation at Grand Island and Norfolk
The beets would be raised at home , nnd th
limestone would be quarried at home. Th
sugar would bo largely used outside of th
state. The sugar crop with fifty factories h
operation would bring $150,000,000 annual ! .
Into Nebraska to be spent amongNebrask ;
merchants and laborers. The fifty factorle
would support a population of 400.030 people
even If there was not another ocro of an ;
kind ot product raised In the state.
"It we can Induce the farmers to r.ils
the beets In sufllclent quantities at $4 pe
ton to run our factories , we shall contlnu
_ In business until the republican party re
turns to power , which I firmly believe I
will do in 1S9G. It we- cannot , we shall qul
entirely ut the close of the run In the tall c
1805. " _

The Oinahu smelting works have not galnei
anything by the new tariff bill. This muc
was stated by Mr. Nash cf the Omaha am
Grant Smelting- works yesterday. A dia
patch la the Associated press report ycster
< Uy stated that there were more thai
300 cars of silver-lead ore at Juarez , Mcxlcc
waiting for the new tariff bill to go Into et
feet before being- transferred to the Unite
Stitcs. Many Mexican mines running
high percentage of lead and which clcse
down on account ot the Wlndom rullni
will now bo opened up again , and It 1
tlnught another tineltcr will be opened at ai
early dale.
"I do not believe. " raid Jlr. Nash , "tha
there U a. word of truth In the dlspatcli
There may be , of course , 300 carloads o
unsmelted ore al Juarez , but It there ar
that many they are not waiting fcr the no\
tariff bill before being- shipped to smelter
In tha United States. In the first place
there U still a tariff ol one-fourth of 1 pc
cent on lead ores , and under the new tarll
bill lead has already gone cff one-half cenl
Tlicrs U no better market for lead now In th
county than there- was before the new bll
went Into effect , from the mine owners
standpoint In the eecuiid place , the Mexl
can smellers are able to treat all the or
offered.
"Our business In Omaha t111 not be affrcte
tn the least by the new tariff law. It we d
Miy Increased business at all wo will do :
it Durango , where we already have lare
works and where wo are smelting more cr
thin wo are In Omaha. Our Ilurane
works are handling ; twice the quantity core
ere that the Omulia works are. Even
lead ore had been placed on the free Hi
the advantage would not have accrued t
Jh ? ni'nf owD r , The effort o ( the ny
lirift IrglelatlAD on the lead mining Indian
cannot be calculated as yet , but If It In
any effect at all It will be against the In
ttresto o' the American mine owner , "

The funeral of Charles Lyman Morsman ,
ths 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs , E , M.
Morsman , occurred at the family residence ,
210 North Thirty-second avenue , at 4 o'clock ,
a large number of the friends o the family
being present.
Charlie Morsman was a bright young lad
whose death has caused sore bereavement In
his family and among nil who knew him.
The Immediate cause of his death was ap
pendicitis , Ho was taken 111 last week with
what appeared at first to be"an attack of
Indigestion , which afterwards develop3d Into
a case of Inflammation of the bowels. The
attending physician was Dr. Bridges , and not
until Sunday night did he feel any alarm
as to the condition cf his young- patient ,
Monday morning at 2 o'clock Dr Summers
was called In for a consultation nnd the two
pronounced It a case of appendicitis , but did
not decldo upon an operation until the fore
noon of tliat day. Tie operation took place
In the afternoon In the presence of mem
bers of the family. It was conducted by Dr.
Summers , uha was assisted by Drs. Bridges
and Allison , ns well as by the head nurse
from the Child's hospital.
The operation disclosed the fact that It was
a genuine case of appendicitis , and that it
had progressed too far. Suppuration had
already set In , and the Interior of the
vermiform appendage vfas already gangrenous
and full of Ichorous pus , which had been es
caping Into the abdominal cavity , result
ing In blood poisoning. The family are fully
convinced that the lad's death was In no
sense the result of the operation , but that It
was unavoidable.

The funeral of Mrs , John Mathiesen , wife
of Superlntindcnt Mathiesen ot the city hall ,
was hold at the family residence at 1740
South Eleventh street at 2 o'cloqk yester
day. The services were attended by a large
noon. The services were attended by a large
concourse of friends and relatives of the
decsascd. who have scarcely recovered from
the shock .caused by her sudden end. The
Interment was at Prospect Hill cemetery.

SMOTHERED A FEW RUMORS

SOME OF THE BURLINGTON'S PLANS

Tntlus IliUlrottd Notes.
Council Hluffs had a real genuine sensa
tion Wednesday over the rumor that the
Burlington Intended to abandon Us I'latts-
mouth Bhops and would remove them to the
Iowa neighbor on the other side of the Mis
souri , nut the rumor did not end here
for It was positively asserted that the
Burlington , which Is a. largo stockholder In
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company ,
would assume control of that property
September 1 and use It as a means of getting
Into South Omaha , by reason of the con
tract made with the Missouri Pacific , and
connecting up with the main line of the
Burlington would considerably shorten the
line to Sheridan , Hillings nnd Montana
points.
Uut the rumor Is knocked Into n. cocked
hat by General Manager Holdrcge , who re
turned from the west that evening. Mr.
Hohlregc emphatically denied the truth of
the rumors , remarking In his quiet way
that he wculd probably know something
about the matter If It had been even con
templated.
"Tho Plattsmouth shops' , " said the general
manager , "afford ample facilities for the
puiposes intended. It would be suicidal to
reirove them at this time , and ev < .n If other
conditions seemed to v.arrant a change It
Is doubtful If the Plattsmouth nhopa would
be molested. These rumors , like countless
others , are made up out of the whole cloth
and are not even skillful In manipula
tion. "
Dut the newspaper man was not satisfied
and ho asked specifically foe n refutation In
regard to the East Omaha bridge property.
He didn't have long to wait far the general
manag'r of the Burlington was quite as em
phatic In his denial of any Intention on the
part of the Burlington to operat ; the Omaha
Bridge and Terml.ial property as lie was In
de.njlng that the company had any intention
to make Council Hluffs a division point In
stead of Plattsmouth.
Passing to a general discussion of the
northwest situation , he stated that about
thirty mllrs of track remained to grade on
the Sheridan extension of the Burlington
until a connection with the Northern Pacific
wns effected at Hillings. "We are laying a
mlle and a half of track a day nnd the road
will undoubtedly be completed about Septem
ber 20 or October 1. The graders are con
siderably In advance of the laying forces and
everything Is going on splendidly.
"Not In many years have the Ilack ! Hills
b-en so generally benefited with rains as
during the present year. They have good
crops In that section and consequently every
body Is pleased over the outlook. "
"Have you made a traffic agrsemcnt with
the Northern Pacific ? " asked the reporter.
Mr. Holdrege TieMtatcd a moment , then
sal'l : "The Burlington has been In n'gotla-
tlon with the Northern Pacific people for
some time , but no tratllo agreement has
been made as yet. However , there Is yet
time to form an alliance and I have no
doubt the roads will reach an understanding
by the time trains are running Into Hil
lings. "

In tins City.
Thu condition ot ttic laboring men of
South Omaha who went out at the packing
house ? during the recent strike Is growing
more ssrlous every day. There nro about
150 of them who nro married men utul nemo
of them have partially paid f. r their little
homes. They have no money to leave town
with and would not know where to go It
th ° y did. Every morning there Is a string
of tlirm In front of Mayor Johnston's office
to urge him to assist them In getting th.lr
old places back.
Yesterday Mayor Johnfcton waited on the
nmnngers of the different packing houses and
explained to them the situation. Ho said
( hero -were nlnut 400 families that would
he In absolute poverty and distress before
many more days If they were not given em
ployment. These men stood about the cor
ners and watched from GOO to TOO Omaha men
come and go on the cars every day and the
merchants and citizens had appealed to him
as the chief executive of the city to sec It
something could not be done to get the
packers to employ South Omaha men Instead
ot people who only came dpwn here to work
and spend their money elsewhere.
The managers ot the packing houses srld
as they have been saying all the time that
they would take back the old men as fust
as they could use them , but that th-y would
not discharge any of the men who went to
work during the strike to make a place for
an old employe who had left them with no
apparent grievance.
Out of all the beef bntchsrslio went out
not a half dozen have been taken
back. Some of the beef butchers have
given up all hope of getting back at alt ami
have left town. Others are waiting until
business picks up , when they believe that the
packers will need their services and will give
them employment again.
Mayor Johnston has begun a system to
lislp the old men get back. Every man who
comes to his offlco Is registered. The name
Is taken and the man tells where he was last
employed. The mayor then gives the man
a note to the managT of the house where
he worked. It IK hoped In this way many
will get their old places back. There will
be nochance , for deceiving either party In
this xvay. The packers deny that they have
any such a thing as a black list , so In tltm
the most of the old men may get back If busi
ness Improves , an the packers anticipate it
will.
will."I
"I have also taken other steps to assls the
unemployed of South Omaha. " said Mayor
Johnston to a Bee reporter. "This morning
I ordered twenty men put to work repairing
sidewalks In different parts of the city. The
city Is In a had financial condition , and -no
cannot afford to provldo for 400 or BOO
families this winter. Something will h.ivo
to be done for the = c men before cold weather
sets In , or South Omaha will be In awful
shape before next spring. "
