1 respectfully call public attention
to the fact that though the Plymouth
Church Committee have this morn
ing published eight or ten columns
of irrelevant and desultory converse
ton between Mr.. Beecher's counsel
and myself in the committee room,
yet this voluminous report strange
" omits the most important part of
my testimony, namely, that the Grim
inalty which my sworn statement
charged upon Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher and his religious victim, was
confessed to me, not only by herself
but by Mr.. Beecher. Furthermore,
that it wss confessed by her and him
to Mr.. Moulton as a friend and coun
sellor, OF both; and still further, that
Mr.. Moulton's office, as mediator, for
four years, between Mr.. Beecher and
me was based upon the sole fact Of
this pre- existing criminality between
Mr.. Beecher and Mrs. Tilton. This
statement made to the committee
with my utmost plainness of speech.
I furthermore stated to the com
mittee that Mr.. Beecher's apology to
me, instead of growing out Of any
circumstances with which Mrs.
Woodruff was connected, was COM
municated to me before 1 ever met,
knew or saw, Mrs. Woodruff.
The omission of these facts from
the committees report forces me to
lay them before the public as ne
cessary part of nv case.

ourselves entitled to repeat in detail, but we
do not think we commit an indiscretion by
stating the grand result of Z campaigns,
from 1867 to 1878, which is, that besides
putting improvements on the Factory to
the amount of 1000. 900 frcs., his profits
have twice paid the original cost of the Fac
tory,-2, 900 900 frcs. He makes $50, 900
lItres rum yearly, Il litre=l4 pints), and
besides sells moIasses. There are is Fill
tiers, 2 Triple Efets, 3 Vacuum Pans and
20 Centritugals. His railroads cost him
10000 frcs. pr kilometre, (about 81 Or. foot)
which must be considered exceedingly low.
During the 7 years the average produce
has been 5000 Boucauts. NJ. Quennesson
presented us with a copy of the contract
between him and the planters; of these
contracts we subsequently obtained sever
al from various Usines. The workmen in
the Factory are paid from II to 2 frcs. pr.
day; women from l to II, more frequently
the lower sum. They are engaged by the
week.
The next visit was to the Usine Riviere
o'Iee, near Petit Bourg, managed by NJ.
Octave Hayot. The Usine cost 1906, 900
tfcs., which includes 163 kilometres rail-
way at $4,000 frcs. per kilometre, (they
had to construct them over a mountainous
part of the country. There is no sea-
service. The gage Of railway is / metre
20 centlmetres, and the rails weigh l3
kilos per running metre. The weight of
locomotive $500 kilos and it uses 1 Ton Of
coal per day. The Usine makes 1000
Boucauts, the mill working Is hours
daily. The Triple Efet and Vacuum Pan
boil day and night. The engine is from
Lecointe. Diametre of roller so cent?
metres, length, $50 metres, makes Ii
turns per minute. The Factory EMPLOYS
l40 labourers, and gives 6 p. ct. to the
growers. Before a Reserve Fund of 3OO,-
600 frcs. was formed, no dividend above
ii p. ct. was given. The Usine was
originally erected by proprietors who had
no money but got loans up to so p. CT.
OF the value of their properties, for which
amounts shares had to be taken in the
Factory. The proprietors paid IL D. CT.
on those loans, Of which 8 D.. CT. were
interest and the rest instalments and for
the purpose of defraying expenses, and
interest on interest, l p. Ct. The loan
would thus be paid off in 80 years.
In several instances the Usines give ad-
vances to the planters, but for the last 8
years this one has refused to do so. The
canes yield 70 p. CT. of juice, but only 81
to 7 lbs. of lst and 2od quality sugar.
This year no rum is produced, the still
house being burned. About ] Id. of coal
is used to l ID ofsugar. We were inform
ed that NJ. Harouard at the Marin, where
the canes are very healthy and juicy, only
uses ! ID.
The Petit Bourg Factory, near by, cost
10000 frcs. and made last year 1850
Boucauts in 81 days, but can make $500
Boucauts in 100 days, and with night
work, which is much recommended, 1
more.
The business Of the Usine shews the
following results for the last 4 years:
In 1871, 174O Bouots. II p. Ct. Divid.
"1872, 24O0 81

has made their party obnoxious to many
thousands Of the American people, who,
although they have learned 10 detest Rad
icalism, will not consent 70 be msrshaled
under the Democratic banner. They say
TO the leaders Of the Democracy, as the
french people said TO Chambord, Take
down your fsg, lie, US unfurl another that

manders un.srnished by the suspicion Of
corruption, and together We will advance

There WAS time when The Democratic
leaders, having thu. refused ovestures oil
alliance, could lead the party of into lis
old paths but Ell the s'gus OF The times
indicate that the power oil those preju-
diced blunderers Is broken, sni that the
Democratic masses have at last come -

and unite With the disadected Republicans
in new organization. IL they 10, the
downfall Of the Radical party will newt

The Anti Monopoly, VI what Is called
the Farmers party, Is the nucleus Of the
new organization into which Democrats
must go, If they wish success. A.present
the Farmers party is too eaclus!ve-;oo
much like close corporation. lts mem.
bers are very earnest men. They act like
enthusiasts Impulse lead. them. But in
due time, the fervor OF the party, nodi-
fed 10y events, will have
cooled down from is present
red.ho. heat; reason and wise policy will
have been taken into council with enthu-
siAsm the platform Of the party will
have become broader; movement; local
10 its inception will have become national,
and then victory will not long refuse TO
give to it success. This We believe--this
we hope for.
