A Short Talk With the Worlds Fair Presi-
dent.

Hon. Thomas w. Palmer. president
OF the Worlds Fair Columbian COM
mission, was in New York for n few
hours on his way from Chicago to
Maine, where his family is spending
the summer.
1.-The financial scare" said Mr.. Pal
mer, ''has kept many people from at
tending the Worlds Fair. There are
thousands OF men who are worth all
the way from so. 900 to $40, 600, 900
who would like to 90, but can't get
away. The more money a man has
the more difficult it is Tor him to leave
home. He is compelled % remain and
watch his business. Before the fair
opened We were afraid that the cholera
might hurt us. But the financial
scare has done more harm than the
cholera could. What are the causes
of the lack of confidence? They are
many, but the uncertainty about
tariff legislation has had n great deal
to do with it. The repeal of the silver
purchase law would undoubtedly help
things some But it would be better
to have absolute free coinage rather
than continue with the present uncer-
taintv. / am not infavor OF reecoin,
age, but j believe 1t is desirable TO
have the silver question settled def
nitely at once one way or the other.
Ii a free coinage law is passed all pay
ments would be made payablein gold.
The people themselves in that event
would soon demonitiZe silver. How
ever, | do not anticipate free coinage.
1.-The situation is worse than it has
been for forty years. Nearly every
line OF business is at a standstill. My
firm, for example, has $500, 600 worth
Saginaw, Mich, and not an order is
coming in for any of it. We will he
compelled to shut down our mills I'm.
til times improve. There are prob
ably 1,OOO,O 600 men engaged in the
lumber business in this country. II
hall of them are forced TO stop work
2, 500, 900 people will suffer from it.
Confidence is too subtle a thing to de.
scribe, but no country can do bust,
ness without it.
ais ex-President Harrison "a caudi.
date for denominations"
81 have seen nothing to indicate
that he has any ambition in that di.
rection," Mr.. Palmer said. "He spent
a week with me at Chicago and be
never uttered IA word in that timethat
suggested such a thought. | do not
believe he is thinking about it. Gen.
eral Harrison is without personal
egotlsm.'

SERVES NOTICE.
Senator German Says No Tariff Bill Will
Pass.

WASHNGToS, August S.-Senator
German threw a bomb into the camp
OF the free trade Democrats by saying
in the most positive terms that no
new tariff bill would ne passed by this
congress-, because OF the opposition OF
the business interests OF the country,
and that what revision OF the Mckiu-
ley law was done must be OF a very
conservative nature. Mr.. German
seldom expresses "a public opinion
without n purpose, and therei is reason
tn believe that his purpose in express
ing this opinion at this time Is to
serve notice on the Democratic free
traders in the house that 1t is useless
for them to send n free trade bill TO
the senate, because there will be
enough Democratic senator's, added
to the solid Republican vote, to pre-
vent its passage.
