Monday evening's session oC the Omaha
Chautauqua college was held nt the First
Methodist church , The auditorium was :
crowded wIth ladle all gentlemen. TIle '
speaker oC time evening was Mr E. noso-
\nter , tIle editor oC The Dee , who addressed
lie cole go upon the subject , The Free
Ports of Eu.opo. " Mr. . HosowatOr spoke as
follows :
"During the middle ages there were anum-
her oC seaport cIties that occupied commandIng -
lag posItons and controlled time commerce
oC Europe by reason oC their ettraordlnary
facilities for free and untrammelel Inter-
course . . Among these were the cities of
Venice , Genoa , Hamburg and 1ntwerp. Tile
Npolconlc wars at the beginning oC the
present century changed the map of Europe
completely and very materlly hampered the
development oC the seaport cItes that had
prevlo\uly \ enjoct commercial freedom
"The prominent place which Homburg occupied -
cupied In the lanseatc Confederation , her
constant polcy of noninterference In Cre-
quent internal strnggles between the Ocr-
man states , her , sufcrlng3 ( luring the Na-
Iloleonic occupation , arc wel known The
congress of reconstruction In VIenna , 181i ,
recognized Hamburg as a free cIty DC the
German empire with I republican consttu ,
ton and trading IJrlvleges , and thus laid
the [ onndaton for the revival oC her great-
ness Progress was however stIll hnlleled
by jealous nelghbol3. The conquerIng Danes
held the ( north shore of the Ebe , the tern-
tories oC the German IJel ) ' princes , the duke
of Mcchlenburg and the king of Hanover ,
shut the city off from the interior oC German -
man ) ' ; How the envy of these reactionary
neighbors retarded the development of Ham-
burg Is best illustrated by the act that net
unt 1865 , when the Dane hal been expelled
Crem holstein , was a railroad constructed 10
tile old sister city of I.ubecl , and to the
Baltic sea Neither was the great trunk
line connecting Hamburg with Bremen , and
now forming a link In the great route be-
Iwcen the north and the western Ilalt of
nnt
Europe , opened until 18i2 , when Prussian I
arms hd Put nn end to the mIsgovernment' '
oC the Hanoverian king , and of so many cther
petty princes. Nothing but the posItion of
Homburg as a free store and warehouse and
manuCacturlng center carrie her forward , In
sPite oC the pressure from all sides brought
to bear on her
"Out DC tIme eighteen sovereIgn powers of
Europe , there are only six which have a
foreign commerce larger than that of tile
free cites or Hamburg. SpaIn with her 15.-
000,000 oC people , Holland wIth her colonIes
ant glorIous past Belgium with her large
mIneral wealth , ' splendid railroads and
thrifty populatIon , are all . In foreign commerce -
merce , falling behind tIle busy marion the
Elbe , franc whence hal more than (0 per
cent oC all thc ships flying the German fag ,
anti which :0 long has been the bonded ware-
house of central Europe
"Up to the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-
sian war In 18iO , Germany had five free port
cites , cC which Hamburg was by Car the
10st hnportant. The annexation oC all these
free cites into time German empire brought
about a marked change of policy. Under the
regime oC nsmarck , Germany abandoned free
( rate and lratJrnted system of protection ,
which , fstablrshed , customsIotts at every
great seap"rt This was such a serIous blow
to the prosprlty.of , the fr e'1ei - Wat' Bs-
narck was soon forced toaevlse , a plan for
giving them releC ! 'In order to , meet that
emergency the great Gprmar' chancelor recommended -
ommended that the cIty cf2 Hamburg should
set apart n large tract oC Iand adjacent to
the river Elbe. ; . ,
SMUGGLING IS pn VENTED.
"The city of Hamburg expended 80,000,000
marks and the German government donated
O.OOOOOO marks for deepening the channel
of lie Elba and the construction oC the
cannls that created stveralartlflcIal Island ,
upon which several Is con-
ducted without customs 'nterCerence. Wihin
the ( area surrounded by the river and canal
clo.sal warehouses and , eqvalors ! have been
erected by a syndicate 'or-Hamburg capital-
IsIs upon the condition of their reversion to
the city of Hamburg at th , end of twenty-
five years from their completion In 188S.

the petroleum harbor , where the Standard
Oil comllany oC this country has extensive
warehouEes and oil tanls. There are also
shil yards In which sailing vessels and
stoamshlps are constructed and fitted out.
"To make myself more learly un'derstood
Hamburg has two harbors the free harbor
and the customs harbor. 'fee ( tee krb'jr l
aecctslble to alt the world , which may lOad
and unload any l1erchandlse or product
without customs Interference and free oC all
duties , but all articles transported Into 11am-
burg proper , which h n customs harbor , are
required to pay Import dutIes. A number oC
bridges connect the free harbor to the cus-
loms harbor and at each of these bridges
customs olcers are stationed so that no
goods can be smuggled into hamburg proper
"In 187 Hamburg had 338,000 InhabItants.
In 1890 there were over 800,000. Figures
which will compare even with the proud , .
record of ChIcago.
"The free harbor territory comprised thlrtr- I.
three [ /Ulre mies , or as much ground as the
area covered by Omaha and South Omaha
logether.
"In 18SS the peslton oC the city and her
trade was so firmly eSl blshcd that It was
concluded to Incorporate even time greater

neutral markets , by allowing the erection ot
works and the carrying on ot manufactures
within the limits oC the free ports , thereby
savIng all unnecessary trouble and los oC
time and expense In frt clearing the raw
material liable to duty , advantages likely
to surpas those offered by the Danish draw-
back system , which , even If admInistered
with the utmost Cairns ! , never entirely com-
penstes for the Impott duty on raw ma-
terials since waste , breakage , etc. , during
manufacture are not taken Into account
"The advantages oC the European free port
system over our warehouse and drawback
methods may be summed up as follows :
"First-The exemption oC importing vessels -
sets from nil fees , tonnage dues and port
charges
"Second-The absolute freedom oC exchange
of commodities wlhln tile limits oC the free
port by the exemption of all merchnmlso hn-
ported therein from duties or tax oC any
kind anti the saving oC brckers' charges , ns
well as time trouble anti annoyance of making
entry at the customs house.
"Tillrd-iteduction of expenses for wharC-
age , stor.1go and labor b ) means oC Improved
Cacltes for loading and Inloatlng vessels

lag reduced to a minimum .

cry , the product of such factories made of
material thus exempt from duty to be ex-
porte , or IC entered for consumption to pa )

CactureI nrlcles ,
"As a complhnent to tile policy of recl-
proc\y , free harbors would provo of inca-
tmablo advantage to revive international
commer at American seaports. I Is yet
too early for the masses to realize the whole
h nef tlerlvtl tram reciprocity , but the re-
viva ! uC our merchant marine and the cimeap-
enlng oC various raw materials and foreign
produce may be confidently antclp1ted , To
derive the whole benefit of reciprocity we
shoul(1 ( Mtoblsh free ports nt the prIncipal
s trade centers s as to turn Interna-
lonal commerce Into American channel .
"We must also , and this Is equally Important -
portant , give to our manuCacturer producing
or fnishing merchandlso Intended for ror-
clgn trade , and using foreign raw materials
the same ad\'ontages and prIvIleges which are
now , through the bonded warehouse system ,
given to our merchants \\0 must establish
bonded manufacturing sites In connection
with tile bonded warehouses , Or , which
amounts to the same thing , we must ret
apart certain smaller territories adjacent to
our Principal exporting centers as free ports.
"Beginning with New York City , we could
In due tIme establish free harbors nt Boston ,
Ihlatelphla ant Baltimore. TurnIng ! our
eye to the gulf coast , we are reminded thl :
ho who controls the rtsslsslppl rules the
continent. Near the sea on this mighty
highway ts , therefore , the 'Iatural position
for a southern ireo port.
"San Francisco . principal harbor and cen-
ter ( oC trade on the Pacifc , can also rightly
claim a free port . anti a place for the
bout t factories leetct for our Pacific
states could easily be found on the broad bay
Inside the Golden Oate
"Witim free harbors and factories on our
east south and west coasts , international
reciprocity oC trade will give us all the advantages -
vantages possessed by our maritme and
commercial rivals oC Europe In the great
marts of the worlt , "
SENATORS LIE THE FREE PORT IDEA.
"About [ our years ago a leading New York
Importer directed nly attention to the advantage -
alen lon at-
vantage that would be derived hy this coun-
try In following tile example set by Oer-
many In establishing free ports at Hamburg
and other cities. Upon further Inquiry I
was told thai Hamburg had two lr"ors. the
free harbor and the customs harbor.
"Three rears ago last summer while on
my way back from a tour of Europ . 1 had
sufficient time to spare In the city of Hqm-
burg to make a personal inspection oC the
free harbor and lid so In' company with the
American consul In a revenue boat. 1 was
amazed at tile magnitude of the commerce
that was carried , 01 In , tie great warehouses -
houses and elevators oC the hamburg free
harbor , and on may rettirh 10 t ls' _ county
"
I brought with mo tiio ' plnns of the h-arbor
and detailed descriptions . which I submitted
to the secretary oC the treasury at Washing-
.ton. Mr Foster was 50 favorably struck
wIth the free port Idea that he proceeded
to the white house at once and communl-
cat d with the ptesldent. In a personal
conference with the president he seemed
reluctant to take any steps at that time , ' for
tim reason that he' thought It might be re-
gmId ; as n step backward from the Mcltln-
hey policy , or at any rate that objection
might be raIsed from the interior cites , be-
cause thQ establishment of Iree port would
gIve extraordlnal advantage to the eths
on tile seaboard. On the other hand a
number of prominent New York ) business
men seemed to look upon the free port Ido
with great favor and so did several members
of the United States senale.
"Senator Chandler oC New Hampshire , who
had been secretary oC the navy under President -
dent Arthur and who Is keen and quick to
comprehend any project was enthusiastic.
le urged me first to write a magazine anti-
ee on-this subject but I never found. time
to do so. Last spring Senator Chandler Introduced -
reduced a bill In time senate to establish a
free port on the north side oC Long Island ,
which would place the city of New YOllt
from twelve to eighteen hours nearer Liver-
pool than It Is now by the fastest st01mer.
Mr. Austin Corbin one of the leading
bankers and capitalists of New York has
agreed , I this bill passes , to establish il
American steamship line between New York
anti England I and to connect the city of New
York hy rail wlh lie free port. While this
bill will probably not pass during the prescnt
session , 1 have no doubt that wo shal lce
free ports established In several or our At-
lantc and Pacific seaboard cites within the
next ten years , and that will bring about a
complete , " revoluton In international commerce -

"I wi not Bal In November The commi-
teo's decision Is absurd. In my opinion It
Is Intemled to be absurd , Valyrlo will not
bo built. " The cable from the New York
Yncht club was a rejection of his propositon
for the cup race and mete a counter propo-
sllon fixing the race ten months from receipt
celpt of their answer The Associated press
Is In 0 position to state . however , that Lord
Dunraven Is anxious to arrange a race for
a new trophy , the contest to occur In Now
Vent waters during the month of September
and over the same courses and under tile
same conditions as the race for ( time Amer-
Ica's cup Uegardlnl the failure oC negota-
tons for a race for the America's cup the st.

to blame for the resnlt of the negotatons ,
Indeed ! , by reopening the question or hold.lng
the cup they have gIven an Idea to many
acbtsmen that they never wanted to race "
