Secretary Blaine is becoming imbued
with the democratic doctrine of free
trade, judging from the explanation of
his reasons for opposing the admission
of sugar free of duty. He recently said
in a letter to friend: I'VE ought to
have in exchange for free sugar from
foreign countries free market for
breadstuffs and provisions. This is
sound reasoning On the part Of Mr..
Blaine, and has decidedly free-trade
flavor. The trouble with the eminent
secrtary of state is that he fails to give
the statesmen of other countries credit
for being as discerning as himself. All
his life he has worked TO build up q
high tariff on products imported to this
country, and now he complains because
other nations are pursuing the same
policy toward the United States. If Mr..
Blaine thinks it advisable to throw off
the duty on sugar, provided foreign
nations will make an equal concession
on the products of this country, why
should he not go a step further and de-
clare in favor of free interchange of
products?

Professional Traders Try to Check the
Upward Movement, but Fail.
Instead of London Fixing Our silver Prices.
the Condition is Reversed Weak
Spots OF the Market
Special to the Gazette.

0peClaI 10 GIs 6dZetLG.
NEW YORK, April 25.-It looked yes
teTday as if the security boom had taken
the bit in its teeth. The efforts of the
professional traders were aimed to check
the upward movement, but they
seemed to be unavailing. The increase
of commission orders was plainly
apparent. That, generally speaking,
means an increase of orders to buy, or
the outside public only comes in on q
boom and comes in to buy. The shorts
became frightened and were covering
vigorously. To-day's outlook was not
so encouraging, although London bought
our stocks vigorously.
The preliminary statement of the
Union Pacific for March, published to-
day, showed net increase of $50, 532 :,
and for three months to March u de-
crease of $3.50 ,04I. The decrease, it will
be recalled, was due to the snow block
AIDES last winter.
London seems to have awakened to the
fact that the arbitrage dealers yesterday
made big profits out of her slowness to
grasp the silver situation, and this morn
ing s silver quotation was 1870. Tenn
porarily at least, the conditions seem to
be reversed and we seem to be fixing the
silver price for London.
The fact that the bank of England has
sent G200, 900 in gold to BuenoS Ayres ,
caused slight stiffening of the discount
rate, but had no influence III checking
the upward movement of prices. Our
own market followed London 8 lead at
the opening. but while it was very

weak spots. Among these were Missouri
Pacific and Rock Island, which failed to
keep up the pace owing to the feeling
that the differences between the two
managsments are more serious than was
at frst supposed.
St. Paul was one of the most notice
able features of the day The common
stock was the leader of the market il
activity. Preferred was dealt in to the
extent of nearly 1000 shares
and advanced about points
Lackawanna continued to be active
and strong. The bull pool is not through
with 1t yet.
New England 8 steady advance is &C.
eompanied by many hazy bull points
relative to the future Of the railroad sys-
TENS of New England.
Trading was not so active to-day, and
as time went on the number of stocks
below yesterdays oloslng figures in
creased perceptibly, although the lead
ers still held up well.
Silver certificates were quite extern
sivelv dealt in at advancing prices
| the highest actual sales being at 107 fol
| 10. 000sounces. The amount of certii-
| Gates outstanding to-day was I017, al
increase of thirty mine over yesterday.
There was a report on Wall street il
the afternoon that a prominent Wal
| street bucket shop had failed. It wal
said that they had calls on
on 90 200 shares ef sugar. A

said to b. out of town, but their repre-

The market improved steadily in tn

Text of the ANTITRUST BIN Report.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Representa-
tive CuIberson of Texas, from the COM
mittee on judiciary, reported to the house
the senate antitrust Dill, and after not
ing the objects sought to be accomplished
by the bill the report accompanying the
bill says 1t will be observed that the
provisions of the bill are carefully
confined to such subjects of legis-
lation as are clearly within the
legislative authority of congress. No at
tempt is made to increase the legislative
authority of the several states, or even
TO occupy doubtful ground. No system
of laws can be devised by congress alone
which would effectually protect the peo-
pie Of the United States against evils and
expressions of trusts and monopo-
lies. Congress has no authority
TO deal in general with the subject within
the states. and the states have no au-
thority to fegislate in respect of com
mercs between the several states or with
foreign nations It follows, therefore.
says the report, that the legislative au-
th0rity of congress and that OF he
several states must be exerted TO
secure oppression Of restraint upon

Lake Borgne Flood Outlet Scheme.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Capt. John
outlet for the flood water of the Missis-
sippi river through Lake Borgne from a
point ten miles below New Orleans
which he has been urging upon
congress for the past ten years
He and others interested with
him were given a hearing to-day by the
senate committee on commerce. The
bill authorizing Capt. Cowden and asso-
ciates to proceed with the work pending
before the committee provides that they
shall be paid the sum of $500 600 for
every foot the flood level of the river
shall be reduced by the outlet, the figures
to be ascertained by q commission ap-
pointed by the president, which shall re-
port to the secretary of war. In case
the outlet shall not be successful in re-
ducing the flood level no payment is to
be made by the government.
Capt. T. H. feathers, an old steam
boat captain and pilot, stated to the
+ committee his objection to the leyee sys-
tenn, which he said had resulted in
raising the bottom of the river. The
Eads jetties, he said, had not in his
opinion improved navigation in the river
about New Orleans one bit.
Gen. J. R. Chalmers told the COM
mittee that in his opinion the levee and
outlet system ought to be used in connec-
ton with each other. One alone was
not sufficient to deal with the difficulties
of the situation.
Capt. Cowden addressed the commit
tee at length in support of the bill. He
exhibited a great number of maps and
drawings to illustrate his assertions.
Chairman Frye-Do you believe, with
Captain feathers, that the bottom of
the river has been rising with the levees?
Captain Cowden-No more doubt Of it
than there is that l am talking to you.
The captain named several places on
the river where rocks that were known
to old pilots were unknown to new ones,
being buried out of sight. At his old
home, where there was no levee when he
was q boy, there is one now six feet
high, .and there is not as much water
in the channel as there was then. By
construction of the Lake Borgne outlet
Capt. Cowden said the flood waters OF
one quarter of the area of the Mississippi
valley could be diverted from the pres
ent channel, Gffording great relief to the
inundated district

trade and Of monopolies. Whatever leg
islation congress may enact on this sub
ject within the limits of its authority
will prove of little value The states
shall supplement It by such aux
Hilary and proper legislation as
may be within their legislative
authority, while this measure, says the
report, is not precisely what any
member of the committee would have
proposed upon his own motion, yet there
was q general acquIesenoe on the recon-
mendation OF its passage, as perhaps the
only legislation possible under existing
circumstances by this congress.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The National
association of wool growers have issued q
statement recommending to the commit
tee on ways and means the following
rates of duty for third-class wool: On
such wool the value whereof shall be
thirteen cents including charges
the duty shall be 80 per centum
ad valorem and on such wool
the value the reof shall be over thirteen
cents including charges, the duty shall
be so per centum ad valorem. They say
these rates are slightly lower than those
in the proposed bill upon the very lnfe-
rior grades, but are higher
Upon the better grades, which
come directly IN competition with
our quarter blood and common wool,
and we therefore request your earnest
efforts to secure the enactment of the
bill into q law, with confidence and
faith that this effect will be TO place
" DOL growing again among the pros
porous industries of the country.
