TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA.
Recommendations of the Central and South
American Commission.

Recommendation of the Central and South
American Commission.
WASHINGTON Jan. 8.-The commission to the
Central and South American States has present
ed its report to the President In order to secure
more intimate commercial relations between
the United States and the several countries of
Central and South America, the commission
finds that there must be:
First--Regular direct steam communication.
Second-Commercial treaties and reciprocal
concessions tariff duties must be simplifed, and
there must be notifications of customs regula-
tons in the Central and South American coun-
tries
Fourth-An increase and improvement of the
consular service
Establishment Of American mercantile
houses in Central and South America.
Sixth-More intimate knowledge among
American manufacturers of the wants of the
people of Central and South America
Seventh-A system of banking connection and
a common standard of value.
Eighth-More liberal credits by our mer-
chants
NiEth--Introduction of the bonded warehouse
system in those countries.
With reference to the fourth proposition, the
commission says it has been urged with much
force to recommend the establishment of new
executive department of the government SINH
lar to the Board Of Trade of England, with
member of the Cabinet for its head, to which
shall be committed the care and arrangement of
our foreign commerce; In this department might
be concentrated all the powers of the govern
ment in watching, protecting. and promoting
the commercial interests Of the country in for
elgn markets-an agency under whose guidance
and encouragement the great commerce Of Great
Britain has grown UP.

TARIFF IN GERMANY.

Bismarck Claims that the Duty on Corn Has
Resulted BeneficialIy.
BERLIN, Jan. 8-The Reichstag reassembled
to-day. During the debate on the budget esti-
mates for the ministry of the interior the emf
grafton question was discussed at length Boet-
tlcher Minister of the Interior, stated that the
emigration law was still in embryo.
Dirichlet maintained that the emigration from
Germany WAS due to the new customs tariff.
Bismarck replied that the new tariff had re-
suited in better condition of the people gener-
ally; that previously there had been more ex-
tensive emigration, which the parish rates had
augmented
Richter said many of the emigrants were men
engaged in the tobacco industry and from the
poorer districts
Bismarck showed that these classes of poor
native laborers required further protection. He
said small propretors emigrated because they
were unable to profit by their labor. He pro-
posed TO alleviate their burdens by raising the
duties on corn. This view of tue matter, he
said. was shared by the farmers. Replying
further. to Richter and Rickert, Bismarck,
summing up his views, said Germany
was nation off farmers, and required duties on
corn. Prosperity was not the only cause of
emigration. Some people provided they had
means, emigrated in order to improve their po-
sltlon. Germany would be able to grow the
corn she consumed if the condition of the
farming industry should be improved by
an increase of the duties on corn. He objected
TO everything that went wrong with Germany
being laid at his door He appealed to the coun-
try to judge between himself and Richter.

He Says some Encouraging Things Concern
ing the Business Outlook.
WASHINGTON Jan. 8.-Secretary McCulloch
states that he has been misrepresented in refer
ence to the business depression. In an inter
view with Representative Hewitt he discussed
the general subject but did not paint the pic
ture in such gloomy terms as those ascrbed to
him.
The Secretary says that he has not expressed
pected On the contrary he thinks that every
indication points to better times, and that the
worst has unquestionably been reached Unless
Congress is guilty of some grave error, he be-
lieves an improvement of business is certain.
In reference to the revenues, he does not
think that the increase of the debt in November
or December can be repeated. The revenues for
January will be greater than for either of the
preceding months, and February will doubtless
show more pronounced improvements
The change for the better in the revenues as
in the business of the country will be very grad
ual, and will probably date from the 1st of jan
uary, when the depression was at its worst
The Secretary has not expressed the opinion
that gold is being extensively boarded at pres
ent nor that complications are arising there
from, but believes that agitation of the silver
question, long delay and uncertainty as to the
course to be pursued ETC., would lead to hoard
ing of gold that would soon make its i'll effects
very apparent.
AS to his alleged reference to the necessity
for immediate and radical readjustment of the
revenue system, commercial relations and in
dustrial policy, it is known that the 8 ecretary
has advanced no arguments more urgent or
terially differing from the recommendations of
his annual report upon those subjects.

RANDALL's TRIP.
The Free-Traders Alarmed at the Result of
His Southern Visit.


The Free-Traders Alarmed at the Result Of
His Southern Visit.
A. X. Mcclure, in Philadelphia Times
1t is no longer doubtful that Randalls trip
through the South has reflected its impressions
back upon Washington, and it seriously disturbs
the free trade leaders. Their efforts to hinder
the cordial reception of Randall in the Southern
States only swelled his hearers into multitudes
and made the people welcome him with wholly
unexpected enthusiasm. But it Is not the hom-
age paid to Randall in the South that distprbs
the free trade leaders, distasteful as it is to
them. What is vastly more alarming to them is
the startling development of hostility to every
phase of free trade in every Southern State.
They see for the first time that free trade has no
solid support either North or South, and they
are perplexed beyond measure.
To this Southern eruption against free trade
may be added the more REASONABLE assured re-
nounced free trader as Secretary of the Treas
ury. 1t is generally accepted In all circles that
the new Secretary of the Treasury will be man
who will execute the tariff plank of the Demo
cratic national platform with scrupulous fidelity,
and thus command for the Cleveland admnistra-
ton the confidence Of the varied business inter

Investigating Official Stealings that May

RICHMOND Jan Recent developments In
che defalcation discovered in the Office of the
State Auditor of Public Accounts indicate that
the loss will reach $1,000 900 or $150 600 For
seven eight yearsvarious sums Of money paid
into the Office on account of taxes have not been
credited on the books. The latest discovery
shows that check for $685. paid by the
Western Union Telegraph Company for tax
was not credited on the books of the Office, al
though the check had been deposited and col
lected. In another instance the Merchants Ma
tional Bank, of this city, paid in 1896 for taxes
In both of these cases. as we'll as in all of the 9th
ers in which any irregularities have been discov
ered the money or checks were paid to Mr.. w. r.
Smith tho late first auditing clerk in the Audit
tors Office, now in jail awaiting an investigation
by the grand jury of the Criminal Court. One
complication of this case was that all of the
money alleged to have been diverted was paid in
by the several tax payers in plain violation of
law and was not, therefore the property of the
Commonwealth. 1t is an admitted fact that,
by a sort of general consent, as was the habit,
all of these accounts were paid into the Auditors
Office directly, instead of being paid into the
State depoSitorS to her credit. 1t is question
now whether the loss is to fall upon the tax
payers of the Commonwealth, and this will have
to be decided by the courts. These Irregularities
cover period during which both the Democrats
and the Republicans were in control of the State
government Their magnitude and the manner
in which they took place. it believed, will induce
