The crowd of spectators that witnessed
Thursday afternoon's racing card at the
state fair was unquestionably the grandest
assemblage of people that ever looked upon
a similar event In the state of Nebraska , If
not In the whole great west. The mam
moth grand stand , which li said to have
been built to accommodate G.500 people , was
crammed to the Inch , every particle of space
was utilized , and as early as 2:30 : the doors
were ordered closed and an extra force of
policemen called to keep the thousands
back who wcro clamoring to get within the
already overcrowded building. If the
grand stand was constructed with a seating
capacity o'f C.GOO , there were fully 7,000
people In Iho big building Thursday. Every
solitary seat was occupied and the aisles and
promenades were blockaded and packed with
those standing. At both the cast and west
ends of the building were twice as many
more , standing 100 deep , and as thick as
nardlncs In a box. Thousands lined tile
stretches and halt way round , the track , the
ouarter-strctch was a Jam nnd the field a sea
of gay traps. Indeed , It was the banner
day , so far as a big crowd went , for the Ne
braska State fair , and It will bo many a
long day before Its duplicate will be seen.
Tomorrow will bo a memorable day In
American athletics. It will be carnival day
with the New Jersey Athletic club and some
startling achievements may be sanguinely
expected. H. J. Wefers , the fastest man whoever
over wore a shoo , and holder of the world's
record for running 100 , 200 and 300 yards ,
has consented to run In a special scratch
race , distance 300 yards , and try to break
the record by himself of 31 1-5 seconds , made
nt Travers Island. Wcfcrs made this record
In a handicap race , and may claim that he
was bothered and annoyed by competitors
In front of htm. Things will be different
on tomorrow , for It will be a scratch race
and there will be no one to bother him.
Charles J , Kllpatrlck , the peerless half-
mlle runner , will endeavor to eclipse his
half-mile record of 1 minute 53 2-5 seconds ,
made at the International games last fall.
The two-mile race , however , will bo the hot
rico of the day. The rntry of A. L. Wright
of Boston adds Interest to It. Uo Is with
out doubt the fastest runner New Englaiid
has today , and John Bowler , his trainer ,
predicts that ho will easily eclipse the two-
mile record of 9 minutes , 32 1-5 seconds ,
made by W D. Day at Berkley Oval , May 17 ,
1890. The New Jersey A C. runners , E
HJertberg , the one and three-mile champion ,
and Charles II. Ucan , the three-mile cham
pion , are not a bit worried at the boy's
running ability , and predict that when the
race Is over the honors will belong to the
' New Jersey organization.
A quarter of a century ago croquet was
quite oa popular all over the country as
tennis and golf are at the present time ,
and whllo It is commonly supposed to be
lit at least a comatose state at present , such
Is not the case. It may Interest a lot of
those formerly Interested in the game to
Know that there Is a National Croquet asso
ciation and that Its membership Is com
posed of clubs representing thirty-three
cities. This association holds Its annual
championship meeting at Norwich , Conn. .
In August , and this year It was largely
attended. Years ago the garao was quite
popular In the west , but as yet no western
club has been represented lu these cham
pionship games. The National association
was formed lu 1S92 on the grounds of the
Now Yoik Croquet club. It has been grow
ing steadily ever since and promises ere
many years to be ono of the most promi
nent athletic bodies In the east. TJio olll-

As was universally expected , and as fore
told In these columns , Joseph llartlctt
Choynskl experienced no annoyance what
soever In disposing of that big Callfoinlan
ham-fatter , Josophus McAulIffe on Friday
evening n week ago. "Ilie whilom champion
of tbo coast proved a sausage for the de-
bonnalr Israelite , and he knocked him out
nfter the most approved fashion in four
rounds. McAulIffo weighed .1 ton , morn or
less , and was as cuinbersonq and clumsy
' '
ns a cow , and all that Choyn'sfjl had' to do
was to chop away until he went down and
out. Now J. Bartlutt will hlc himself to
Now York and offer any one of the numerous
;
clubs there a chance to see him knock
out tlmt bis counteifelt , Jim Corbett , In
ten rounds. /

Mr , Ilrady deemed It a ple.ibiire to talk
srvcinl hours at a stretch In brhnlf of
"Gentleman Jim , " and his theatrical duties
\vero never permitted to Interfere with his
ninnagemcnt of Corbett. When Corbctt
started for Hut Springs , Iliady announced
that he would not leave"Jim's side till the

nctly Ingenious In his explanation It Is
because he Is averse to niaiiaglng a downgrade -
grade bovor that ho cuts loosu from Corbett
at this time. It Is quite unnecessary to
usea mcgapnono to Infoim Hntdy that a

HflCfn minutes after a bout of four rounds

would bo put aside to Accommodate' the

that ho had learned some such trickery

as being at variance with the ethics of
square sport. Then he declared himself.
He would undertake to stop Sharkcy In
four rounds that li , ho would undertake
to. do what Corhett failed to do and If
Sharkcy did not dawn , ho ( FItzslmnions )
would agree to meet Corbctt In finish combat
two months from the date of the Fltzslm-
mons-Sharkcy bout. Lynch , Sharkey's
manager , and The sailor himself were on
hand to settle final nffalis for the coming
fight with Corbctt at the Police Gazette
ofllce Thursday , but no Cornell put In an
appearance. The New York Journal says
that Corbett Is cither n knaveor a fool.
Australasia has always been regarded as
a sport-fostering scrtlon ot the universe ,
but It Is beginning to look as If tba goody-
goody people down across the equator nre
about to Inaugurate a crusade against the
most fascinating of all pastimes horse-
racing , A Mr. W. Hutchison , a member of
the New Zealand House of Representatives ,
is Introducing a bill , thc"objects of which
are to prevent undue space being given by
newspapers to racing news , to prevent their
publishing betting odds , to forbid the Inser
tion of racing advertIseracntB , etc. , etc.
An antipodean sporting paper remarks In
sarcastic manner that the bill does not go
far enough. It should limit the amount of
money to bo Invested In bets , should forbid
better prices than "even money , " and should
see to It that no sport wins moro than a
given sum on any ono race. The paper con
cludes by saying that as a counter-irritant
some level headed member should bo In
duced to bring In another bill having for Its
object the prevention of undue space being
given to Mr. Hutchison.
It seems to be a generally accepted view
that the 3-year-olds of this year are a very
bad lot much yurse than for several
seasons. Possibly tnla Is true , but for all
that some very fair colts have been seen
Some writers and turfmen are disposed to
doubt the high class of Ogrfcn and call his
win of the Futurity , a fluke. There li the
fact , however , that no horse ever ran that
race as fast. In jxrsl seasons there have al
ways been two or 'three youngsters that
could beat everything else In training. This
jcar there are more than a dozen youngsters
who can beat each other on different days.
It Is probably on account of this general
excellence that the opinion prevails as to
their bad quality.
Over $30.000 In stakes alone will be offered
by the California Jockey club at the coming
winter meeting , which will begin October
19 , next. At the. present time twenty-seven
stakes , amounting to $12.750 , have been ar-
rangHd and are now made public. The club
will open six more 2-ycar-old stakes later
and the. money offered will make a total of
over $50,000. The Burns handicap still re
mains the richest stake of the season. It Is
for $10,000 , all ages , one and a quarter
mllns. The Thornton stake Is the same as
last year , $3,000 for u four-mile race. The
first sixteen stakes .ire so arranged for 2-
yc.ir-olds , three-year-olds and all aged horses
that the best horses in America will be
taken to the coast. Ten stakes have been
offered for beaten horses or those who could
not run much up to January 1 , 1897. on ac
count of sickness or other cause. This will
give a poor man a chance , and even those
who do not own hlgh-clas horses will be
able to lace In a good stake. The entrance
to these races Is free. It Is expected that
this will bo the means of taking to the coast
200 or moro horses than would ordinarily
have zone. The pn/flcs to all stakes must
bo made by November 1 , except the In
augural stake , which is a novelty and will
be run on the opening day at the California
Jockey club on the now Oakland track on
October 19. Entries for this event close
on October 1. It .18 an all-aged stake of
51,000.
The eastern racing critics have made more
comments on the racing this year than ever
before. There IA not a paper In the east
but wha-t lias condemned the In-and-out
running. Hero Is the latest "roast : " "One
of Ike Thomppon'fi customers , who had to
lo.ivo the course before the racing ended ,
desired to place a wager of $100 on Deer-
slayer In the fifth race. Ho gave the money
to Thompson and risked him what odds he
would receive. "Well , " said Thompson , "If
the right people bet on Deerslayer I'll give
you I to 2 , If the right people do not bet
on Deerslpyur I'llglvo / you 20 to 1. "
John L. Sullivan , the old king of the magic
olrrfo , met Sailor Sharkey at Madison Square
garden last Monday night. The ciowd
roared , ax the old champion appeared. Whllo
It was only an exhibition bout , from start
to finish John I/ , made the best showing.
Ho could not nidvo-hls ponderous body ,
but he had almost the old quickness of the
arms ; ho could duck a. little , which wax
morn than Sharkey could do , and twice ho
dodged , hut this effort , was almost too much.
Shnrhoy wax sn slow that a watch might
Imvo been put on his blows , and ho Judged
distance badly. At first It was thought that
possibly ho did not want to display the
old champion's weakness , but that Idea
waif quickly dispelled. He was a great dis
appointment. Hulllvan hit him In the face
almost at will , but even the onp-mlnute
rounds tired the old man. In the third
and last round ho tripped and almost fell.
When the exhibition was ended Fltzslm-
mons said : " 1'vo changed my mind now.
llo's evnn easier than I thought. " That's
what everybody else said , and yet there are
a whole lot ot people who think he can whip

The surprise In the big league circles
today Is the unexpected and astonishing
slump of the Cincinnati team , which started
east on Its present trip at the top of the
list , with flvo points the best of naltlmore
and sixty-nine the best of Cleveland , Not
withstanding Haltlmoro was at homo for
forty games , It looked very much as If the
Red Legs had her on the hip and were
about to. for the first time In their career ,
carry off the league pennant and bo the
chief disputant ! ) In the struggle for the
honor nnct shekels In the Temple cup battle.
But alas ! for human calculations and the
uncertainty of the great national game.
The Reds opened up In fioan Town with a
nice clean victory over Sclce's men , and
then came the announcement of the slump.
Eleven straight defeats is the size of It ,
two by Boston , three by Washington , three
by Daltlmore , three by Philadelphia !
Thcro was not a base ball fan In the coun
try who dreamed of such an avalanche of
disaster. Everybody was pulling for the
Red ? , and everybody put them down for
either first or second place , beyond any
possible doubt , and when the slump came
It was llko a thunderbolt from a clear sky
The present disastrous slump Is by no means
the first disagreeable experience ot this de
scrlptlon that the Cincinnati team has ever
undergone. In 18S7 , I remember , the Rcdi
left for their eastern trip with a lead In
the championship race that had all the
ear-marks of a winning one. Indeed , some
of the writers In different cities were re
gretting the fact that the championship race
at that early stage gave Indications of degenerating
generating Into a procession , with the Rods
so far In the lead that none of the other
teams would ever get to them. What was
the consequence ? Heforo the eastern trip
was completed there was no longer occasion
for alarm about the race ending In a string-
out finish. The Cincinnati team lost cloven
straight games on the trip. Day after day
the rooters lounged around the tickers , hop
ing against hope for the brace-up that never
came , or at least did not come until the
Cincinnati ' chances for the championship
had gone glimmering. The Reds finished
second that year , and but for the awful
slump on the first eastern trip would have
won the pennant.
But the race , how docs It stand today ?
Well , Baltimore has next to a downright
"lead pipe" on the flag and the unlucky
Cincinnati are still second , but by such a
slight margin over Cleveland , that the two
remaining eastern games with Brooklyn
may see her In third place. Chicago and
Boston are both playing uniform ( jcod ball
and ; have a slight show of "cutting In" for
a plcco of the Temple cup money , although
Cleveland must take quite1 a fall and Cin
cinnati continue to slump for either one of
them to do so. Old Anao Is still fourth
by four points over the Bean Eaters , 1'ltts-
burg sixth and can scarcely Improve her
condition , and an much may be said of
Washington , St. Louis and Louisville.
SInce Joyce took charge of the Giants they
have won fifteen out of the nineteen games
played. No better record can be expected
of any team and "Scrappy Bill' should be
given the greatest credit for his excellent
work. Joyce has the entire control of the
loam , the first time that n New York mana
ger or captain has had his way In two years.
The result Is shown In the standfng of the
clubs. It Is. not likely he would stand for
any adviceon how to run a team. Let
Mr. Freedman look after the business end
of the New York club and let Scrappy Bill
Imvo full control of the team. Then a large
dividend will bo declared on the stock when
the season Is over.
It Is contrary to the Baltimore club's cus
tom to play up close In the earlier Innings
when a runner Is on third and two hands
are not out. The chances of stopping the
ball , throwing the runner out and yet holdIng -
Ing the man on third are considered more
than overbalanced by the possibilities of a
sharp hit lined past the tnguard , and at an
early stage of the game It Is not conlsdcred
wise to take the desperate chances a close
score may render necesbary later on. There
Is lots of sound sense in the Baltimore Idea ,
for many moro hits are made through a
congested Infield than there are runs killed
at the plate.
Every city has its rooters , and all possess
some queer characteristics. There Is one
crank In Philadelphia whoso name Is Smith.
Ho Is never happier than when associated
with ball players , and It Is his proud boast
that ho Is acquainted with nearly every
man who ever played in the league or as
sociation. The Reds did not arrive In Phil
adelphia until midnight , and when they got
to the Hotel Hanover they found Smith
watting to greet them , and he was about
the last man to bid them goodbye when
they left for New York. He Is a regular

"Mlko Kelly was the peer of all tricksters
on the diamond and his tricks came so thick
and fast that ho often kept the players on
the team with him guessing and In hot
water , " says Tom Brown. "When he found
an opening for a trick ho would make
some witty remark as a signal to us that
fcomothlng was coming off. But wo couldn't
figure out for the life of us exactly what
that something was. If Kelly needed our
assistance In a trick and wo didn't come
to his rescue ho would gcj : sere and call
ua a lot of Rubes. But we were not mind-
readers , and told him so. "
Extra Inning games nro scarce In the
National league , but they have been fre
quent In the Western. "Nearly forty ex
tra Inning contests have been ployed In that
organization this reason. fTho Ccilnmnus
team alone has played four fourteen Inning
games , a couple of thirteen Inning contests ,
ono or two which required twelve Innings
to decide , and some ten and eleven. They
have played four extra Inning games with
Indianapolis , five with the St. Pauls , and
othera with every other club In the league.
Joe Qulnn says Inflelders are horn , not
made. Ho says unless It comes natural to
u man no amount of practice will make him
a first-class Inficlder. He says the BUC-
cessful short-stops may bo counted on the
fingers and the great second basemen maybe
bo counted within the figure. There are
exceptions , however , to every rule. Billy
Glcason of the Giants was born a pitcher ,
but ho makes a pretty good Imitation ot a
great second baseman. Gleason Is quicken

Hero Is a soot for Cincinnati from the
Cleveland Preaa ; "Cleveland will be second

Reds will have to rearrange that Temple

Cincinnati to arrange a series of games for
the championship of Ohio ( barring Cleve

Owing to the reign of the State fair dur

stir In shooting circles. The open season
for prairie chicken began on Tuesday mornIng -
Ing last and there have been several parties
out during the week. Ono or two good bags
have been made , but the general report Is
"few birds and no shooting. "
Practice makes perfect , so they
say , but It Is not the man
who shoots the mosti that always has
the best records. WorJtndw of s.cyeral men

These men feel that , thcy ought to break
better than 90 per cent qf their targets and
nearly every time whfell they miss a target
they wonder why It "was not broken into
very small pieces. . They simply
shoot to the extent of their
capacity , for In shooUrig , llko all other
pastimes requiring J nerve , good eyesight -
sight and judgment1 ! there Is a
limit to one's sh'ootlng capacity.
It Isn't every man who r.an become a crack
shot , no matter how hard lie tries , and there
Is little In the old saying that "practice
makes perfect" In eyc/ytljlng , after all.
The Nlpegon river Ib probably the best
known trout stream In the world , Its big
fish are regular "whales. " A double of fish
that combined weighed ll'/i pounds Is re
ported to have been taken on files with a
six-ounce rod recently. The largest of the
two weighed six and one-halt pounds and
both were brook trout. Larger brook trout
In plenty have been taken frcm the Nlpegon
and In Maine waters. The largest trout on
record weighed seventeen pounds , If n letter
to the Forest and Stream some years ago Is
to bo believed. An authentic brook trout of
twelve pounds Is recorded to have been
taken In the Rangeley lakes of Maine. The
record for Adirondack trout Is now seven
and one-half pounds , taken from an arti
ficially stocked pond In Essex county last
summer. Previously a dying fish found In
Loon lake was the largest. It weighed six
and one-half pounds. Canadian Sportsman.
From reports gathered from almost every
direction , the approaching fall Is going to
prove on exceptionally fine one for quail
shooting. Despite the numerous rains
throughout the state during the summer
months the birds have thriven wondrously
well , and all the favored localities abound
with them. The broods , now well advanced ,
are said to bo unusually largo and two ,
three and four are now to bo found where
In past seasons onn was the limit. The
vegetation Is exceedingly heavy this year ,
and of course the sport will bo of a most
laborious character , anyway until after
Jack Frost has thoroughly demonstrated
himself and the weeds and vines have been
stripped of their leaves and leveled with
the earth.
And the wild fowl shooting , too , surely
the coming season Is going to provo a
glorious ono for this , the most royal sport
of all , especially on the numerous well
known grounds In this vicinity. Nebraska ,
which cannot bo surpassed ns a resort for
the birds from the royal canvasback to the
delicate teal by any state or territory In the
country , unless It Is California , promises
everything grand this year. All of our
lakes are filled to the brim , and the rivers
and streams are singing a merry song with
full banks as they travel on toward the sea ,
The big marshes are full of feed and In
prime condition for the coming of the fcath-
ered hordes , whllo laigo areas of splendid
country , utterly devoid ot the least Intima
tion ot moisture last year , are this season
fairly bedizened with sparkling pools and
reedy sloughs. Mr. il. A. Hall returned
recently from a trip "through the upper
Canadas , and being uti ardent and observant
sportsman , kept a jqokout for "signs"
of the birds , and madp numerous Inquiries
wherever ho lingered alqng the route , He
soys that the northern waters , the natural
breeding grounds of many of our wild fowl ,
seemed literally alive with young birds and
that everywhere reports * endorsed what his
eyes beheld.

M1I/VVAUKHR , Sept. 4. The memory of
man runneth back sl ty years. Tlicn Mll
waukeo had but 250 people. Today she tins
250.000. Tlmt Is a peed growth. The city
Itsolt as wo find It today Is one ot the moat
attractive In the country. Therela a good
deal or taste In Its buildings. Tim city hall
ot Milwaukee I regard as ono of the most
Impressive , If not the most Impressive , of
these buildings In the country. It was hon
estly built. There are many other handsome
buildings. The 1'nbst block , for example.
The 1'llsler hotel Is a model of beauty In
architecture , and I doubt If any hotel out-
slilo of Chicago or New York can compare
with It. The streets of Milwaukee nre being
greatly Improved. The parks show a great
amount of taste , the drives are beautiful.
Then wo have the Inland lakes of this
vicinity , reached by charming drives , which ,
with the resorts along the shores , aflord
amusement and summer recreation for the
people.
Industrially Milwaukee stands well by
beer. Hero we flnd some splendid breweries ,
built of white brick , and so clean and well
arranged that the wonder la how so much
beer can bo produced and such an Infinite
amount of work done , and yet everything so
orderly , and no rubbls/h oi1 litter. I have
visited many of the great London breweries ,
which are orderly Institutions and cleanly.
They look dark and gray beside tin so rc-
markablo Institutions of Milwaukee. If one
may Judge by the assortment of posters and
circulars and pamphlets and cards which
Mr. A. Crcssy Morrison of 1'abat's Is getting
out. the beer trade Is taking an esthetic
garb , and may become the feature of flno
arts and paintings.
Ileer Is king In Milwaukee. Over * 30,000-
000 of capital Is Invested therein. The 2.700
men employed pocket annually $1,500,000 In
wages , and beer flows out from their opera
tions to the extent of $14,000,000 each year.
Beer , however , like everything else , Is lan
guishing , and the brewers , like other people ,
are looking hopefully for McICInley and set
tled finances.
In the metal Industries wo flnd. Including
Iron shipbuilding , $20,000,000 of capital ,
though the number employed Is greater than
In beer , namely , 13,000 , and the wages paid
exceed $ ! > ,000,000. Boer , ( roil , meat , flour
and leather surely wo have staple Indus
tries hero , and In all of them Milwaukee c.t-
cells. Her beer goes all over the world ,
her engines and machinery "aro well known
In the heart of Africa anil on the Sea of
Japan. Her meat and Hour are highly es
teemed throughout the northwest. There
are thirty Industries hero producing an
mmlly more than $1,000,1)00vorth of product
Milwaukee , In fact , nourishes much of the
country within her radius. Her clothing
and knitting establishments furnish the
Clothes ; her shoe factories the boots and
shoes ; her planing mills and wood establish
ments the material for the houses ; her Iron
and steel works the frames for mills and
the engines to run the machinery. Flour
and meat and all sorts of food products she
sends forth In abundance , and having thus
supplied the necessities , she cheers with hci
wholesome beer , warming the bones of the
lumberman with her good whisky and con
soling him with her tobacco.
PEOPLE ENJOY LIFE.
Really Milwaukee Is quite a place.
The people of Milwaukee enjdy life. They
have lots of summer gardens and resorts
where all turn out for Innocent fun and cool ,
refreshing beer. They are fond of music and i
demand the best quality of music and the
drama. Moreover , they are a law-abiding
population. The Cream City boasts less
policemen to the square acre I mean per
capita than any other city , and It has other
wise distinguished Itself by the absence of
law-breaking and thieving propensities. In
spite of a recent disappointment about a
loan the financial standing < of the munici
pality of Milwaukee Is as sound as Its repu
tation for beer. It is simply going ahead
with public buildings , notably a magnificent
library , during these dull times , which shows
the wisdom of the city fathers end the foie-
slght of the public-spirited citizens. These
are the very times for public buildings and
Improvements. As a wholesale trading and
Jobbing point Milwaukee Is Important , ag
gregating last year , with the pioducts ot Its
own factories , sold at wholesale , about $180-
000,000.
Milwaukee , so Its own men claim , Is not
so much noted for handsome women as for
Industrious , healthy and noble women. The
Milwaukee woman Is a home builder. She
In not afraid ot work , so the men say , and I
am Inclined to bellevo this , because I ob
served more than one well dressed woman
mowing the lawn with a vigor and dexterity
which bespoke familiarity with that useful
Implement. From all I can learn , Milwau
kee men are blessed with sound , healthy ,
sensible , thrifty wives , who get up at night
and answer the telephone , arc down before
their husbands In the morning , who Interest
themselves In homo building and who are
not altpgcther averse to more muscular ex
ercise , such as described If necessity de
mands.
There Is also a sort of womanly Independ
ence about the Milwaukee women. They
have organized clubs , formed a coiporntlon ,
built a club house , aio out of debt , and al
low no malu stockholders to share the prof
its or become members of a club that pays.
Surely we have here an example of thrift , as
well as of ability of home building. The
Milwaukee woman has demonstrated her
capacity to build n homo for herself , and ,
what Is moro to the point , pay tor It.
nKcou.ncTioNs OF rnosi'inous YHAII.
This letter , however. Is of men , not
women , nnd , attractive as the subject may
be. It will bo necessary to ehanRo It. The
year 1S93 , In Milwaukee , as I said In A pre
vious letter , was n prosperous year In both
manufactures and trades , and the culmina
tion of nearly a generation of republican
government. It was only tight that n party
tlmt had done so much for the nation should
turn over the country ns it stepped down
and out , In a condition to which nit repub
licans may well point with pride. Instead
ot Ihrco years of growth mnco then , Mil
waukee can only look nt three years of dls
tress and tremendous effort to hold Us own.

This Is bad for n growing city At the
proper rate of growth Milwaukee should have
Increased her manufactures CO per cent by
the close of 1895. She should have had
fi 1,000 engaged In these Industrial , nnd her
pay roll should have been not far short ot
$10,000,000 , whllo the value of the product
should , at the rate of growth between 1890
and 1892 , hnvo reached nearly $200.000,000.
These are the Umses from the policy of frco
trade , and which wilt continue until the
policy of conlldenco has taken the place
of the distrust that hovers like n bird of
111 omen over every center of Industrial
energy In the country.
A CONTRAST.
Having the data at hand In correct and
convenient form , I shall endeavor In this let
ter to make n contrast. First , let mo say
that 1 carefully consulted an expert In prin
cipal lines ot Industry. In the iron ami
steel business I had an Interview with
Charles Allls of the Kdward 1 . Allls com
pany , who do a business of $3,000.000 an
nually. In the brewing Interests with A.
Crassy Morrison , wlio has written much of
Interest on the history and progress ot
Milwaukee. In the leather business with
W. 1'tlster ot Pflstcr & Vogcl , and with n
representative man In every other Inlluuntlul
trade.
And what Is the substance of what they
say ? The year 1892 closed with Milwaukee
greatly ahead nnd somewhat elated In the
race for position among her sister cities.
She had produced nearly $150.000,000 worth
of products , paid out In wages nbout $30-
000,000 , nnd looked with satisfaction upon
the round $100,000,000 of capital Invested.
Capital was employed , business good , men
and women getting high wages , employers
advertising for help , homes going up , and
the community contented and happy ,
How Is It now ?
Let Mr , Charles Allla nnd his superin
tendent , who has been employed nt the Allls
works forty-nine years , tell the story.
"Our own business , " said Mr. Allls , "Is
not suffering so much , because we nro doing
n grent deal of municipal work. Still , wo
are 300 men short. In the staple Industries
of Iron and steel the product Is about
half. "
The superintendent of nearly half a cen
tury's experience said ho never remembered
business being so bad.
I5NOUOH OF FREK TRADI3.
Do your men realize the situation ? " I
ventured.
"Of course they do , " promptly answered
Mr. Allls. "Our men , or 95 per cent of
them , are for the tariff. How they stand
on free silver I do not know , but though
many of them are democrats they are sound
as an honest dollar on the tariff. They have
had enough of free trade. The only ques
tion wo have here Is the tat Iff question.
Our men want no more experiments. Under
the McKlnley law we were obliged to ad
vertise for help. Now we get every day
from twenty-five to fifty applications for
work , all of which wo nro compelled to
turn down. Hcmember , however , that we
are the most prosperous Iron nnd steel con
cern In Milwaukee , and by reason of making
specialties nnd filling municipal contracts ,
which have gene on through these hard
times , have kept going. Nevertheless wo
have had enough of these times and nro
ns anxious for protection and sound money
as our nlghbors who have suffered more
severely. "
In some Industries In Milwaukee the num
ber employed has been cut down 40 per
cent , and a similar cut made In the wages
of those left.
Said ono business man : "If wo can make
( in old dollar bring a new dollar ( not a
fiO-cent dollar ) we are contented. It Is
hardly possible to do this.
"Ilcforo the Hinnhh It was Impossible to
find n dwelling house empty , " said Mr ,
Odell , "Old Figures ; " "In 1893 there were
not 300 vacant houses In Milwaukee. In
August , 1893 , .1 made n canvass and found
1.3GS vacant , nnd others not so well filled. "
These facts bring the tariff question homo
to every mnn , woman and child In the city.
Before October there will be such n senti
ment In this city In favor of McKlnley and
protection that the free trade , free silver
combine won't bo In It. "
Those who study these * facts carefully will
hardly bo surprised at thli prophesy.
