A new BUSINESS METHOD.

s. IL. Baynard has adopted new plan that
Is now prevailing In western cities. whereby
the opportunity Is given TO procure q good
watch for a very low price, through the
agency Of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows. Clubs are composed of forty menu
bers. who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes 70 the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum OF seven hundred
and sixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time number Is drawn, which en-
titles the owner Of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
Of watch clubs. with the exception that upon
the drawing Of a number further payment of
that number cease. The remaining members
0ess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches 30 distributed are a gold-flled
case made by James Boss, with either al Ell
gin, Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-fiye dollars and which are fully war
ranted to give satisfaction. Clubs are now

Tariff sim the Issue.

Special to the Gazette.
Washington, May 1. 1.-THE Mckinley
bill will be the issue of the campaign, -
said Representative Mills, ''and all at
tempts to make the tariff subordinate is
sue will fail. There is already abundant
evidence that there existed q determin-
alton in certain quarters to put the tariff
issue in the closet and fight the campaign
on the election bills and the general ex-
travagant expenditures of the majority.
IL was freely said in conversation and
even in caucus it was whispered among
the members that Cleveland was beaten
on the tariff issue, as Hancock was in
1880, and it would not do to make the
tariff 100 prominent again. The same
kind, but not the same degree, of spongy
tissue about tbs backbone was exhibited
by about the same men who, in 1881,
cried, 81 told you SO, and seemed to
lose their sorrow over their party mis-
fortune in the delight that their predlc-
tion had come true. Now gentleman who
certainly knew every Democratic move
that was made in that campaign is au-
thority for the statement. Neither the
congressional nor the national committee
the whole of the campaign of 1880. Quite
the contrary. They did issue, however,
one tariff document TO show that Gar
field was free trader at heart. and they
induced Gen. Hancock to publish letter
on the eve of the election, to the effect
that the tariff was a local and not a ma
tiopal issue. The fact is that since the
days preceding the war, when the tariff
ceased to be question, because both
parties In congress voted for a revenue
tariff, then down to the time when Mr..
Cleveland ran in 1884, the campaign lit
erature studiously avoided the tariff ques-
ton, except where the same was printed
for distribution in cert1in districts only.
Mr.. Carlisle remarked; ''The tariff
will continue to be the issue until reve-
nue. reform shall win a substantial tri-
umph. -

Combinations Exist.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The report Of
sthe special committee of the senate ap-
pointed in May. 1888, on the transporter
ton and sale of meat products was pre-
sented to the senate to-day by the
chairman, Mr.. Vest. It Is a long
document, accompanied by copy Of the
testimony taken by the committee in
prosecuting its inquiry at ST.. Louis,
Chicago and New York, and Is signed by
all members of the committee, Messrs,
Vest, Coke, Plum, Henderson and Far
well. Several legislative measures pro-
posed by the committee to remedy the
evils OF traffic are set forth. In Mr.. Vest g
statement in the report of senate pro-
ceedings, the committee says that when
the examination OF witnesses began in
St. Louis it was evident that conflicting
influences were at WORK, and especially
in the International Cattle Range
association, and that industrious
efforts were being made TO
prevent inquiries of committee affecting
the injuriously dressed beef interests of
chicago. There was no diversity of
opinion among the witnesses as to the
fact that methods of selling beef cattle
had been nearly revolutioDized In the past
ten years. The revolution took the 70 I'm
of concentration OF the market for cattle
at few points OF the market for cattle,
controlling tbs market at Chicago. This
change, the committee says, is due prin-
cipalIy to the fact that few enterpris-
ing men of Chicago are able
THROUGH THEIR ENORMOUS CAPITAL
to centralize and control the business at
that point. The dressed beef and cam
ning business is practically IN the hands

mour s. Co., Swift s Co., Nelson, Morris
s. Co., and Hammond s. Co. Whatever
difference of opinion is expressed as to
the existence of q combination between
these firms, not to bid against each
other in the purchase of cattle, there was
no hesitation on the part of witnesses
when obviously prejudiced in favor
of the packers in stating that
the control of the market
was absolutely in the grasp of these four
houses if they chose to exercise it. As
a result OF the influence of these houses,
the committee noticed a reluctance on
the part of cattle raisers and commission
men to testify to facts or opinions which
might prejudice them in future transact
tons. The principal inquiry which
the committee was directed to
make was as to the existence
of a combination, by reason of which
prices of beef and beef cattle have been
so controlled and effected as to diminish
prices paid producers without lessening
the cost of meat to consumers. The facts
developed, some of which are de-
tailed in the report, the committee
thinks proved Overwhelmingly the exist
ence of q combination, such as is de-
soribed in the clause of the resolution
statement from Mr.. Armour's testimony
that beef cattle had increased more rap
idly in population during the last five
years, from which he argued that low
prices of beef cattle are partly due to
over production. This argument, the
committee states,
is NOT WARRANTED BY FACTS,
and the committee has no hesitancy in
stating that combination exists at Chi
cago, which controls the market and
fxes prices of beef cattle in its own in
terest. Railroad trunk lines, says the
committee, control the entire meat traffic
of the country, in the interests of rail-
road companies. Comparing rail-
road charges on car of
wheat and car of dressed
beef, the committee shows a disorimi-
nation in favor of dressed beef of about
60 per cent. AS to remedies to relieve
the situation the committee says that
congress, in a bill recently passed by
the senate on the subjects of trusts,
has gone SO far as its power extends.
State legislation must supplement that
by congress to punish combines operat-
ing within state lines, and active, in
telligent officials must be found to en-
force the laws enacted.

Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, May There is hardly
any doubt that Judge Abbott would be
able to pass the Fort Worth public build
ing bill if he could get it before the
house, which is the chief difficulty. He
will make no effort, however, to get an
increase oyer the amount recommended
by the committee on public buildings, as
some recent experience with presiden-
tial veto has warned him of the danger
of going beyond the committees figures,
or at least beyond those of the supervis-
ing architect. He will exert all diligence
to get recognition in order to pass the Fort
Worth bill, and If passed as reported
from the committee ne has no fear of a
veto. Were the amount added to even
so little the danger would be imminent.
COL. CULBERsoN
made an elaborate and able argument in
tse. house to-day on the antitrust bill,
favoring the measure which passed the
house by practically unanimous vote.
Whether the bill will have the benef-
cient effect intend eddy its advocates is
uncertain, there being variety of SEN
timent on that point Some OF the
Texas delegation who voted for it
seem to think it very questionable
whether any practical good VIII ever
be derived from the law, though
they voted for it in the hope it would
perhaps prove something of a barrier in
the path of Illegal combinations.
