SOUTH OMAHA. May IS. To the Editor
ot The Uec : I hope that no patriotic Amer
ican , no well wisher of the Infant republic
of Hawaii , will bo misled by the press dis
patch from San Francisco giving the views
of a correspondent of the New York Evening
Post on Hawaiian affalri. Were there no
other reasons to doubt the accuracy of his
opinions , the fact that ho represents the
New Yoik Evening Post , notoriously un-
umerlcan , the most rabid of mugwump
dallies , a blind follower of Sir. Cleveland , Is
of Itself sufficient to cause one to accept all
news emanating from such a source com
grano stills.
True , the Post may have periods of politi
cal sanity on New York City affairs , bul
memory doesn't recall when It has not been
wrong on national affairs , and especially out
relations with foreign nations. The republic
of Hawaii Is passing through a crisis. U 1 :
not uncommon with young nations , who , In
fant-like , waddle nbout In their swaddllnp
clothes , yet healthy adults In time conu
from puny babes , nnd great nations sprlnp
from small beginnings. The history of tin
United States shows this , and the historian !
of the next century may truthfully relati
how ooe of the greatest of all great natlom
passed through such n crisis , from 1892 t <
ISflfi , because her people In a moment ol
political frenzy , made It possible by electlnt
a party representing nothing but a desire t (
disorganize anel break down that which time
brains , labor and money had built up , during
a long period covering many years past Thai
the Hauallans , I , c , the blood and sinew , the
Americans , want the monarchy restored. Is
absurd , notwithstanding Sir. Paramount
Hlount and his prototype , the Post's corrC'
spondent. both ot whom might as well hav <
remained In Washington or New York , as
what they would report was a foregone con
elusion , The natural elestlny of Hawaii ii
to be an American state. Unfortunately , II
Is not possible now ; true. It may be delayei
and equally true , It may never happen , bul
If It does never come about , It will not b (
because of the lack of patriotism of oui
countrymen In Hawaii , but from the cow
ardice of an unamerlcan administration. Sucl
misfortunes are possible with nations as
with Individual1 , and especially so when the
brain capacity Is measured at the waist band
As to Colonel Ashford , If memory does nol
fall me , he Is not the present attorney gen >
eral of Hawaii , but of the deposed queen , nni
of course he can find no virtue In his pres
ent conditions. The Hawaiian republic un
der the able guidance of President Dole ant
his equally able cabinet , has made raplt
progress. His government has been that o :
peace , and , although he quickly suppressee
the late rebellion , he did not cut off the head !
of his enemies as our president's "deal
friend" would have done. President Dole li
easily master of the situation. He will bav (
difficulties. That may bo expected. But If hi
can only hold out until we elect nn Amerlcar
administration his difficulties will sooi
disappear , In the sheltering arms o ;
the United States , who will take her off
spring and embryo state , and hold It agalnsi
any opponent , be It Britain or Japan. Is 1
surprising fiat Admiral Sleade In rlghteoui
Indignation , although In violation of thi
naval regulations , said. "I am an America !
and a union man , two things that this ad
ministration cannot stand " It Is a lonf
tlmo to wait until March , 1898 , and we maj
well sigh and say Oh , Lord ! How long !
How long ? Yet It Is not believed that pa
trlotlc Americans will allow Hawaii clthei
to be again dominated by a half savage race
or become the prey of any grasping nation

the Post correspondent , notwithstanding.

NO EVIDENCE OF A COMBINE
Position of the Hide Market Does Not
Evinoi Signs of a Trust.
TRUE INWARDNESS OF THSTUTON \
Itlno Dun to Natural Cnusen Cemelltlom
Uutoriied by bupply nnd Ucinaml
1'orclgn Illeles touting tu tlio
American .Market.
The following editorial appeared In the Na
tional 1'rovlaloncr , the organ ot the meat
and provision trades , on Saturday , May IS.
That the course of the hide market for
the past few months has been a puzzle to
ir.iny , and we might say to till , Is not
strange. There have been so many In
quiries for Information thnt In the Interest
of our readers we will give some of the
causes that hive led up to the present con
ditions. To go back tor a few years we
know that the country seemed to be over
stocked with hides , and the extreme dull-
nts and uncertn'nty ' of business of the past
two jtnrs so completely dlscouinged tnn-
Hbts as well an most other people that the
irlcoH of hides went down to a point never
before reached , nnd this led to exporting
Immense quantities of hides nnd calfskins ,
so that when the tnnne > rs of this country
woke up they found that there had come
nbout an entire change of situation It will
bo remembered thnt In 1893 a number of the
liatkers were obliged to make arrangements
to have their hides tanned for their own ne-
count because they could not dispose of
them to the tanners. In addition to the
extraordinary exports there has been a
very large shortage in the kill ot cattle for
the past jenr , brought nbout by the very
low price of cattle , so that It did not pay to
raise and fatten them , anil It.must be con
ceded that the business of the pist two
years has not been such as to cncourapc
extravagance nnd the general conditions
have been for ecoi.omy. It seems that we
have suddenly realized that hides have n
value , nnd every tanner is anxious to gel
all he can pay for so that he will not be
left short In the future.
CAUSCS or Tim SCARCITY.
It Is a fact be > end question that when
any raw matetlal drops to an extremely low
llgure thnt theie Is less caie used In pre
serving that material for Its natural user
This was the case with hleles , and tons ol
trimmings went into glue stock becausi
It did not pay to tan It. In remote sections
of the country they at once time could nol
get more than 1 cent a pound for hides , nnc :
this did not pn > for taking caie of them , sc
that many thousands went to waste , nil ol
which would tend In time to accentuate the
scarcity. Again the very low prices of hide-
led to their being used for manv purposes
which were new to the trade. Then ugalr
leather could be produced so cheap thnt li
did not pay the manufnctuier of commot
shoes to use substitutes for leather , as I
wan Just as cheap , If not cheaper , to usi
real leather , nnd the consequence was thai
never In the history of shoe inanufacturiiu
were common shoes made of such good ma
tcrlal Again , It seemeel that every tannci
was trying to produce some specialty fron
hides , fo that he would have an outlet foi
his productions , and thesa new outlets have
absorbed Immense quantltes of hides I
has become the custom In this countrj
when mi } thing happens that cannot be
readily explained to charge some trus
with It , or that some combination has beet
formed to oppress some class of the com
munlty to enrich the said combination.
WHEN Til 13 RISH CAME
We aie no defender of trusts or comblna
tlons , and rather consider them an evil , bu
we believe that no one nceiualnted wltl
the ptesent situation will for one momen
chatgo the packets with having formed anj
combln itlon for putting up the price o
hides It Is a well known fact In the trade
that the packers nnd hide dealers were tin
most sui prised people ot any for a consldei
able time after hides began to advance , one
many times they remarked. "We are gains
to ask another ejuarter of a cent , but do no
believe we will get It. "
Out they did get It , and now many o
them say they will get 14 cents for natlvi
Bteeis before the season Is over and othe
grades In proportion. This may prove to bi
true , but If It Is , It will be because tanner :
nre alwa > s more anxious for hides vvhei
they nre high than when they nre low.
It was claimed by many of the hid
dealers when the United States Ix > atht
company was started that they would con
tiol the hide market nnd could put thi
prices down Just as low ns they saw fit , an
could keep them there.
It Is needless to say that this claim hni
been shattered , and thev do not and can
not control the hide market Independent o
natural conditions. Again It was said tha
this same company would put leather up ti
a fabulous price , but In this there vvui evl
dcntly a mistake , for we see that leather o
many kinds In no way controlled by the trim
has shown considerable more advance thai
thnt made by the trust , all of which gee
to prove that supply and demand are tin
great factors that finally control thesi
things , so that while there la a Fcnrclty o
hides and the actual scarcity mngnlflei
b > the tanners them ° clves , rushing In ti
buy stock even ahead of their vv.mts , Jus
BO long prices nre likely to remain high
PRICES \VUAj STAY UP
The question Is asked. "When will then
be an Increase In the hide supply ? " So fa
as the kill in this country Is concerned
there will be no material Increase befor
the fall killing , and that means that It wll
be near the beginning ot another year be
fore hides are more plentiful from honv
killing. On the other hand hides are belni
attracted to this country by the high prices
and at the present time there nre buyers li
every part of the world where hides are ti
be collected far tanners In this country
This cannot fall to largely Increase th
suppl > here , but It can at the same tlrn <
be readily seen that this will tend to nd
vnnce prices In other countries In fact , ha
already done BO so that while our supplle
may Increase there Is nothing In sight ti
warrant nny one In belelvlng thnt we nr
likely to have any lower prices for severa
months to come nnd may see them read
several points higher than they are at pres
cut.
cut.If
If the general conditions of business con
tlnue to Improve , and the country again becomes
comes pi onerous. It need not surprise an1
one If they do not see hides much belov
the pte'ent prices for several years to come
These facts are obtained and these opinion
formed from the closest connections wltl
and study of thq market as to both hide
and leather and the many new uses ti
which leather Is being put. We do no
claim Infallibility , but considering the man'
uses to which leathei made from hides f
put , we believe prices nre likely to nil
higher than In previous years , and th >
same may be said of calfskins , and In fnc
of all kinds of skins that are manufacture !
Into leather.

The market has s = omo remarkable feu tine
which do not seem to be generally under

have hael nny very decided Idea why price
should have risen as much as they have
and to most It has been u matter of surprls
thnt quotations should so promptly take i
higher bound after each turn of realizing
Judging from mere ordinary reasonlnge
some nre now disposed to think that i
resting point has been reached , at wl.lcl
the market should be tested and observa
tlons prudently taken of the coming llnan
clal weather. Ami yet It Is more thai
likely that. In spite of themselves , thesi
same cautious observers will soon find them
selves again buying.
There nre unseen forces behind the mar
ket , which few understand , and the fore
of which still fewer appreciate. Thosi
forces started the movement when It wai
little expected ; they have carried U forvvun
with unexpected momentum ; they havi
scarcely been suspected by the most san
gulne ' 'bulls ; " and I venture to predict I
will be found that thev have not yet ex
huusted their energy. These Influences be
gan to show their effects three tnontliH ago
and were ushered In by the operations o
the loan syndicate. They nre not , however
to be attributed wholly , nor eve.n prlncl
pally , to that negotiation. The nyndlcoti
really did little more than prepare thi
way for the working out of tendencies pre
\lously existing , but which hael been hele
In restraint by the deranged condition of thi
treasury finances and the consequent mis
gUlngs about the currency.
DUE TO OVERPRODUCTION.
Nor has this remarkable revival beei
fo largely attributable , as many have sup
posed , to the abatement ot doubts aliou
our ability to ward off the silver dangers
That has had an Important Influence un
doubtedly , nnd yet Its effect has b en but
secondary The real cTuiifn ll elecper To
find thos" causes , we frtisf go back to the
conditions thnt produeW the great com
mercial depression , which hni cxloted since

That depression was dig result mainly of

that the earnings of the ro.ids have fallen

fallen proportionately , and also that their

nuropo hnvltiK made these nnv Investments ,
Is attributable , In the llrst place , to the cur
rent piefcrence foi rnllroad s curltles pre
vailing there ns well as here , and also to
the fact that the amount ot railroad capital
In this country Is so Immense as to affonl

ations show thnt we are In the beglnnlnp
of n movement In railroad Investments of

of which It Is not easy to forecnst , but
which Feems to have by no moins reached
Its culmination. Inlew of the e facts nnd
Indications , we conclude thnt the upward

Its climax , and that U9G is likely to prove
an extraordinary year In railroad Invest

WASHINGTON , May 10. John Berken-
blne , the Iron ore expert of Philadelphia ,
has prepared for the division of mineral
resources of the United States K'o'oslcal
survey tin exhaustive report of the lion
ore resources of the worjd , in which the
production of Iron , orCj In 1893 Is estimated
at nbout 52,500,0 0 lonj- ton . The portion of
this report relating to the United States
shows the total production of iron ore "in
this country In 1891 was 11,879,679 long tons
of U.2IS pounds , as compared with ll,5S7C2y
long tons In ISIKi :
This Is an Inciensc of about 2'/4 P r cent
This production Is only 71 per cent of the
maximum pioductlon pf the United States ,
namely , IG.lMG.CC'i long tons , which was the
output In 1E92 , but -slightly greater than
that of 1833 , the proportion" In that > ear be
ing 71 per cent of 1&9. ! , strewing a remark
able falling off. The falling off Is furth-.r
shown by the statement .that the average
production for the > curs from 1SS9 to 1S92 ,
Inclusive , was 15.2C0.4SJ lone tons , while for
the last two years It'hiis'becn but 11,733,651
long tons , n difference ? pf S,52bt28 tons.
Of the classes of Iran oie mined , the red
hematite continues to \ > i the Uading variety ,
being 79 per cent oCjhK total production ,
brown hematite , magnetic and coJbonltc
following In the order named , the latst being
only about three-fourths of 1 per cent of
the total product. The number of blast
furnaces In operation also shows an in
crease over 1&U1. The number in blast at
the close of ISM was 127 , nt the close or
1891 , 185. Twenty-four stnteh produced Iron
ore In 1S94 . ranging In amount from 4,419-
074 tons In Michigan to 7,915 tons from Mary
land.
Most of the Increase noted above in pro
duction was In the I ake Superior region ,
Minnesota showing the greatest Increase ,
from 1,499,297 tons In 1SS3 to 2GO,4G3 ! ) tons In
1891 , ranking second among the Iron pro
ducing states , while In 180.1 she was third
Michigan continues to be the largest pro
ducer , holding this rank for six years. Ala
bama has fallen from second place In 1891
to thlid In 1891 Virginia has also Improved
her standing , rising from tlfth In 1893 to
fourth in 1891 , while Pennsylvania has fallen
from fourth In 1893 to llfth in 1S94 In spite
of the Increase in production noted , the
total value of the product was but $13,577-
323 , or $1 14 n ton , as compared with $19-
2o5,973 , or $1 66 a ton. In 189J. Mlch'gan nlro

ores ; In 1891 thej w < re worth Jj,84l,9. . wh | lc

cold vvnvo scare cnu ed ths nilvnncc. July
wheat gained l'4c , September cats l c nd
provisions closeel ut advances.
Almost every commission mnn nnd spec
ulator of experience advised their custom
ers nnd told their friends before the maiKi't
opened thnt the Inevitable break in the
wheat innrket would bo realized tod.iy. How
much they were mistaken they begun to real
ize when , after u decline ot Vac pci bu , ns
the tesult of nil the efforts of the entire
local talent hunched together on the sellIng -
Ing side , the price was gamboling around
72'4c ' per bu. for July about half an hour
from the clo c. That was quite a contrast
with 03'4c ' , although some few sales were
made near the opening. July started with
sellers at "Oc , but no buyers until It had
been offeree ! down to C3\c , nnd In some
Instances as low as C3'4c. ' It recovered gi.id-
ually to 70V. l ut for an hour and a half
thire was enough wheat on sale at any
thing. When , however , heavy frosts were
predicted for South Dakota , Nebraska , Kan-
sis and Mt < rourl , threat'ti'ng the dca ructlm
of the corn , which Is now so piomlslng ,
the price of torn bejvan to hoot skyward ,
wheat could no longer be controlled nnd
Jumped about for half an hour like n pea on
a hot stove. It rose to "liV , dropped In
about ten minutes to 70\e , rose again to

The week's clearar ees of wheat nnd Hour
from bith co.ists were 2,107 050 bu. , cotnp ired
with 2,805000 bu on the week b fore.
Corn started weak , but It did not stay In
thnt condition very long The prediction of
frost siilllel ntlv = evere to make the re
planting of coin neee Hniy In the principal
states of It" production was the cause of nn
excitement men ns Is seen onlv ut nue In

at Miec nnel sold from that down
to 51'ic near the beginning of the
session , and for n time floundered
In a lazy way at nround 51'4c Soon that
was changed entirely , nnel It went shooting
about like the shuttle of a sewing machine
I'p with a bound It Jumped to K\c. back
again to 53'4c nnd up once more to ri5c , all
In about t n minutes. The heavy local re-
cMpts , numbering 700 cais , caused the open

While there hns been ti very substantial
Inciease In hog receipts the past week ns
compared with the week previous , and some
gain In sheep supplies , the run of cattle
has been unprecedentedtj light , in fact , the

This unimml falling oit In supplies here
has lind no favorable Inlluence on the market -
ket , since nt other lending centers iccelpts
hi.ve shown a slight gain , with no Improvement -
ment whatever In the demand from
any miuUr. Trad. ' has been on
the dull and dragging older thtoiigh-
out. Dressed beef men lepjit Hie
demand foi beef as Mmply no fia-l at
all , while shlppcis have been cautious to
the verge of practical Inactivity , owing to
the unfavorable condition of the trnele In
the cast as well as on the other side of thp
water. 1'ilces have steadily declined , and
beef values in general have gone oft fully
2oc , as compared with a week ago. The
most discouraging feature of the trade ,
however.-has been the apathj exhibited bv
all classes of bujers , even nt the reduced
prices.
The week closed , however , with n light
run and a comp.iuitlvely good market. To
tal receipts were C2I head but , as thtre

local packers nt Kan as cu > jesterdny and
consigned to them ellreot there were less

find there were n few loads offem ! better
than nny that have been offered lately All
classes of bujers exhibited more of n dis
position to ti.ide than they have recently
and the result was a good , lively mar
ket , with prices > -trong to a shade firmer
all mound Shippers pnld $ (130 ( for chotca
l,3U-pounel cattle , and bid J3 10 for n choice
bunch uver.iglng ncarlv 1,100 ixninds. Local
dressed beef houses bought fair to good
800 to l.SOO pound beeves at for fiom Jl 2J
to $193 There was a tolerably healthy
tone to the trade throughout , and a fairly
satisfactory clearance was made.
IJutchers' and canners' stork was In very
limited supply and sold readily at fully
steady anel perhaps a shadb stronger prices.
The average was from Jl DO to $ ! 3"i for poor
to prime cows. Common calves ruled about

choice veals strong at from Jl 50 to J3 73.
The market foi bul's , stags and lough stock
generally was not far fiom steady , with
sales at from fl 23 to J3 75
In stoekers and feeders there was very
little doing As has been the case all vvesk ,
the supply was very light. There was a
good demand , however , and a strong mar
ket foi everything offeree ] . Stockers have
been in partlculnily urgent demand this
week , and prices have advanced 15c to 25c.
