WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4, 1S90-[Spe-
cial correspondence of THE HERALD. Ito
the right of the speaker, on the extreme
edge of the Democratic side of the House,
sits the tallest man in Congress. His face
is pale and clean shaven. His snowy HAIR
is combed as Andrew jackson combed his
hair. His features and his face recall the
face of the great and resolute man. The
eyes are blue and the mouth firm. The
man looks like q thinker. He rarely
smiles. His movements are slow and de-
liberatc He wears the conventional frock
coat, a white waistcoat, and dresses with
neatness. His linen is faultless, and he
wears black silk watch-gnard. He is not
socially inclined, nor has he a conviviai
disposition. He seems retiring and re-
served. You never hear him telling stories
or detailing "reminiscences. He listens
with apparent interest to discussions in the
House, but rarely rises unless necessary to
elucidate proposition befogged in deba te.
When he does speak he commands atten-
ton. The friends of this usually quiet
man esteem him for his real worth. He is
Charles Stewart, of Houston, Tex This
is his eighth year in the House. He was
born in Memphis, Tenn, and has lived in
Texas since the year in which james X.
Polk was elected President.
In the interest manifested in j. G.
Blaine's proposition for commercial recip-
rocitg with the Central and South Ameri-
can republics, Charles Stewart is over
looked. Yet he may be said to be the pio-
neer in the movement. Secretary Blaine
has only amplifed his views and given
them a fresh color. Attention is concen-
trated upon them because he has used

Blaine. 1t was done during Mr. Stewards
first term in Congress. He was member
OF the committee ON foreign affairs. Roar
ing Jim Bedford, of Colorado had intro
duced "a bill to authorize the appointment
of special commissioner for promoting
commercial intercourse with such coun-
tries of Central America as may be found
to possess the most natural and available
facilities for railway accommodation
with each other and the United States"
Congressman Jordan, of Cincinnati had in
troduced another bill entitled "a bill for
the encouragement of closer commercial
relationship, and in the interest Of and
UIite1 States and the republic OF Mexico,
Central and South America and the empire
Of Brazil"
Both bills were referred to the commit
tee on foreign affairs. Charles Stewart
was chairman of the sub committee
charged with their consideration. He re-
ported substitute for the two bills and
was authorized by the committee to report
it to the house. This substitute was
three commissioners, who were afterwards
sent to South America by President Arthur
TO obtain such information as would aid in
the establishment of closer commercial re-
lationship with our sister republics.
In making his report, Charles Stewart
called attention to the fact that the balance
OF the trade was much against US in Cen
trail and South America. The total amount
of our last annual imports from these
countries was SS4, S57 900. Our exports to
these countries was s33. 600. This
showed balance of trade against US of
S5l, 37i Goo Charles Stewart made tabular
statements showing that the total value
OF - the foreign commerce OF these
nations, including Mexico, with
all the world each year was S752, 91S 900.
The total commerce with the United States
was only Sl42, 252, 000 The value of the ex-
ports of our sister republics was s4l3,094,
900. The United States received only
S9a, $4,000 of these exports, and England
goi nearly all the rest. The sister repub
! lies imported 1898. 1924 coo worth of foreign
goods. Only S4S, $4,000 worth came from
the United States.
In his report the judge asserted that there
ought to be no balance of trade against us
in our commerce with these republics. He
earnestly recommended the adoption oil
some policy that would lead to commercial

Nobody supposed that anything would be
done with the bills. When Charles Stewart
made his report to the full committee, how
ever, everybody was surprised Its impor

Curtin. He warmly complimented ME- Stew

at this time member Of the committee en-
foreign affairs. The report threw flood
Of light upon his mind. He saw its i'm
portapce and agreed with its conclusions.
It was unanimously adopted by the COM
mittee. 1t threw Helper into ecstacies.
He wrote Stewart that when the Arctic
circle and Terra del Fuego were connected

Charles Stewart is no longer a member
of the committee on foreign affairs. In the
following Congress he was transferred to
the committee on rivers and harbors. The
transfer was made at his own request. He
believed that he could serve the interests
of his constituents better as member OF
| that committee than as member OF the
committee on foreign affairs. The First

lies and this country could be promoted.
While there was no direct suggestion OF the
estaDlishm ent of free trade between these
republics and the United States, the report
foreshadowed it. 1t alluded to the fact that
Great Britain had control OF more than
half of the foreign trade with these coun-
tries, while the United States had less than
one-ffth of it. 1t did not, however, go so
far as to say that with the balance OF
trade so heavily against US our sister re-
publics could not get what we owed them
except through British brokers. Nor did
he say that this was due to Great Britain's
policy of free trade Heidi not argue that
if all the other nations in the world pur-
sued protective policy, payment for their
exports must necessarily pass through the
hands of freetrade nation.
IRE abridgment and analysis of Charles
Stewards report shows that Secretary
Blaine's proposition is not new. 1t was
made in modest way. by modest man
from a modest committee to a modest
House The secretary may have uncon-
sciously draw inspiration from it, or he may
have evolved his ideas from his own brain.
Possibly he learned nothing about it from
Charles Stewart. Certain 1t is that the
reciprocity doctrine has been promulgated
by him at time and in manner when it
would attract universal attention. Very
few persons paid any attention to Charles

struction company for the pur-
pose of asking the inhabitants of Boulder
to subscribe for construction fund of

cash to pay for the construction of the
road through the city. The property
owners along the proposed route have not
yet been interviewed nor consulted in this
matter as far as heard from. A 100000

At that time, he was surrounded by con-
tractors, engineers, ETC., and was as full of
business as man could well be, but he broke
away long enough to cordially greet the
interviewer.
"Then there is no truth in the report that
the Union Pacific has obtained or will soon
obtain control of the Panoramic routes"
Mr.. Young smiled.
"No;" he said, decidedly, there is not,
now nor never was any foundation for
such yarn. No corporation either owns,
controls or directs my movements"
1t was suggested that the Union Pacific
would probably like to obtain control of the
little road for the reason thatit had already
seriously interfered with the Park City
traffic heretofore enjoyed by the broad
gauge

The Drummers' REQUEST,

The commercial travellers have long been
clamoring for the issue of reduced rate
ticket good for more than 1900 miles, es-
pecially favoring the idea of 5000 mile
ticket good on all roads. They have made
some progress in that direction by securing
from the Missouri Pacific the concession of
1000 mile ticket at two cents per mile to
be used over its ST. Louis, Iron Mountain
& Southern division, and within few days
the St Louis, Arkansas s. Texas and Lit
tie Rock & Memphis roads have put similar
tickets on sale. Commercial travellers have
well earned reputation for persistence
and it would not be strange if they event

reciprocity. He pointed to the fact that for
the year ending June 80, 1883, there was a
balance of trade with Mexico in our favor
amounting to s7,O2l,0 900. He laid it to our
railroad communications with that country,
and to the liberal and progressive spirit
actuating the Mexican government in en-
couraging American investments. Like re-
suits, he urged, could be obtained In states
of Central and South America by similar
process.
