THE CREDIT MODILIER.
l met the other day gentleman who
was, years ago. an intimate friend of
Schuyler C0lfaX. The papers were just
then filled with accounts of the death of
mult;millionaire Frederick Ames, of
Boston. The gentleman spoken of re-
marked to me:
''Well, Frederick Ames is dead, and
has left no statement relieving the
memory of Mr.. Cofax of its STAIN"
L asked to explain.
you remember the Credit Mobiier
scandal, of course" he replied. You
tttin oil hot o.
compelled TO retire from public life be-
cause his name was involved in some of
the bribery transactions. There was a
check for some thousands of dollars in
troduced in the investigation drawn in
favor of S. c. indorSed with the same
initials, and marked paid. This
check Oaks Ames, the center of the
! ring, testified as to having been drawn
by him, and, as he remembered, deliv-
cred to Mr.. ColfaX. This was taken as
conclusive, and the stain settled so
deeply into Mr.. C.'s name that he gave
up public life. You will remember
that he died suddenly of heart failure
in MankatO, Mimi. several years ago.
Not three months before his death he
assured me that the whole testimony so
far as he was concerned was absolutely
| untrue, and further said that he firmly
believed that the check was Endorsed by
either Oliver, the son of Oaks Ames, or
Frederick, his nephew. Both of these
young men were active agents in the
Credit Mobilier scheme. Mr.. Colfax
further expressed the belief that either
Oliver or Frederick would, after his
death, make public statement reliev-
Ing his memory of the STAIN"
After pause the gentleman resumed:

pecial Correspondence of the GLOBE.


Special Correspondence of the Globe
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The chief
medical officer of the pension bureau in
this city is Dr. Thomas Featherston-
haugh. He is "a gentleman of large abil-
ity and decided scientific attachments.
l have no doubt when the eye of some
old settler reader of the GLOBE rests
upon this name he will have at least an
indiStinct recollection of having some
where before heard Or seen it. In fact,
the name is associated with the primi-
tive history of our state. Prof. G. w.
Featherstonhaugh was the first gov
eminent geologist here in Washing
ton, and laid the foundations of
the present United States geo.
logical survey. Away back in
Minnesota's history, some time between
1880 and 1910 Prof. Featherstonhaugh
made a professional journey to the
wilds of the Northwest, including the
upper Mississippi and its tributaries.
Young Mr.. Sibley had just located at
the mouth or the st. Peters river as the
agent of the American Fur company,
and extended the hOSpitalities of the
country to the learned scientist. He
remained during one entire summer,
exploring the st. Peters river and the
adjacent country as far up as where
Mankato now is. Somehow, during his
Sojourn, the professor succeeded in
antagonizing Mr.. Sibey and gaining
the ill-will of some of the officers at
Fort Smelling. There is tradition that
Mr.. Sibley threatened bodily injury to
MIR. F., and thereafter all diplomatic
intercourse ceased between the two
men.
Prof. Featherstonhaugh returned to
Washington and soon after removed to
England, where he published a volume
giving an account OF "a Summer Canoe
Voyage on the Minney-sotOr River. in the
WildS Of the American North west" In
that volume he played even with our re-
Bpected fellow citizen who afterward
filled so large place in our history

ANOTHER POTTERY: VIEW.


How the Proposed Changes Come Home
to Wheeling.
Mr.. Alfred G. Davis, OF the Warwick
pottery, when seen by an INrELLGENcER
reporter, was studying the provisions OF
the new bill as given in the papers. In
answer to questions he said:
"As compensation, free raw material
is only n drop in the bucket compared
with the sweeping reductions proposed
in Schedule "B' OF the Wilson bill.
Not Gully is the rate changed, but the
system Of arriving at the value oil I'M
porlutions is also changed.
"Should the Wilson bill become n
law the American manufacturer OF pot
terry and the workingmen engaged in
that industry would be at the mercy oil
the well known, INSCRIPTIONS 'prOfes-
sional swearer' on the other side OF the
ocean. In my opinion any reduction
whatever in the rate OF duty will
necesstate reduction OF wages, and Il
change from u specific to the iniquitous
and fraudulen. nd valorem duty will
simply transplant the pottery business
from this country to the other side.
Pottery workmen, and the voters in
general, when they cast their ballots
for the Democratic party last fall, by so
doing did not intend to indicate TO Mr.
Wilson and his southern co.laborers
that they desired such changes. When
the potIeries throughout the country
arc idle, when workmcn are striving
against an inevitable readiustment OF
wages to meet the changes in the tariff,
when foreign goods are flooding this
country, until tho election OF new
house OF representatives next fall takes
place, possibly then Mr.. Wilson will
know the actual wishos OF his country
men,"
"What are you going to do about t."
pottery workmen OF Wheeling and
elsewhere, REGARDLESS OF party, ought to
use, and no doubt will, every means in
their united power to persuade their
representatives to vote against the bill.
The manufacturers will join with them.
1t is their only hope. 1t is avital CUES
ton to both and in u great measure to
the country at large"

Sir. Morris HorIGhelmer Express Some
Clear Ideas.
At the wool house of Messrs. Hork-
heimer Bros. tho INTELMGENcER struck
a mine Of information and clea- views.
Mr.. Morris Horkheimer said: "You
know by this time where we stand on
the tariff question, particularly on the
wool issue. We cannot make ourselves
believe that taking II cents duty oil an
article that costs an average, in the last
five years, OF 80 cents, can have any
other effect than TO make decline OF
values to even less point than that OF
to-day. The immediate effect might OF
course be to advance on the broad prin-
ciple that foreign woods are not avail
able owing to the duties to-day. You
can readily see that ii we had to clear
from the custom house such wool rs we

tralian at Ia cents, 1t would cost to-

Is Dealt at the Pot err InduStry-EGcct of
Protection.
Perhaps the most deadly effect that
would be felt in this locality ii the
murderous Wilson bill became a law
would be upon the pottery industry.
The potteries were generally prosperous
under the fostering influence OF pro.
lection, until Democratic victory mado
the future Of that policy dubious. Since
the Democrats came into power the
shops have been run only with sulli-
cient force to fill current orders, the
manufacturers feeling they could not
afford to pile up stock, and the jobbers
playing the same waiting game.
Yesterday an INTELLIGESCEE reporter
called at tho LaBellp pottery to get
from Mr.. C. ". Franzheim, an admitted
authority on the subject, his ideas OF
the effect of the Wilson tariff bill on
this branch of industry. ...
"When l saw the provisions OF the
BILL" said Mr.. Franzheim, 81 was as
tonished. l saw Mr.. Wilson when this
schedule was under consideration, and
he assured me that no injustice would
be done to any interest. The bill Ger.
tainly does Tho pottery industry in
Justice. 1t will be fatal to it. It not
an American measure. Instead OF be-
ing America for Americans it is Amer.
lea for foreigner!. 1t can have no other
effect.
perhaps one might have expected
this. Mr.. Wilson had charge Of the
pottery schedule under the Mills bill,
and no accepted the views OF Jerome
Jones, a large importer, OF Boston, and
OF an English consul, an avowed free
trader, to tho exclusion OF other
interested parties. lsuppose he got his
ideas OF the right thing to do in this bill
from the same people"
The published schedules differ rs to
the duty on plain white granite ware,
which is the kind OF dishes the masses
use almost exclusively, but all accounts
agree that there has been cut in the
duty of at least 50 per cent. The re-
porter asked:
MIR. Franzheim. how much Of a re-

ave need every cent OF the present
duty OF 60 per cent. As it is now, with
that duty on. one.half OF tho common
white granite ware used in the United
States is imported. To reduce the duty
would deal death blow to the Ameri-
can Industry. We could not run day
without knocking down wages to the
European scale, which is not over 80
per cent OF what we pay here for max
ing the same ware The men could not

How about the Compensation OF

"The tariff on imported clay Is only
reduced from 81 u ton to 81. So far as
that figures, we should prefer to soc the
American clay beds developed. We
get some very good domestic clays, and
use lesS and less imported materials
every year. Extensive clay beds have
been discovered in the aouth, and |

own them brought pressure to bear

March the duty is to DO taken OF the
imported ware?"
As to Mr.. Wilson's apology for the
pottery schedule, MIR. Franzheim quoted
his remark that the present duties got
into the Mckinley law "mysteriously,"
and commented thus:
''rhere was no mystery about it, Tho
only change the Mckinley bill made in
the pottery import duties was by the
administrative bill, which required a
duty to be paid also on the package.
etc. This was emInently just to the
American manufacturers and workmen,
and wise from patriotic standpoint
which may he the reason Mr.. Wilson
regarded it rs mystery.
"Mr. Franzneim, you have been in
the pottery industry since its infancy in
Wheeling; what has been the real eli
feet OF successive tariff changes"
Protection has had its legitimate
and usual result. When we started
here we made tea set, of fiifty-siX
pieces, which retAiled at s.. The duty
on that sort OF ware was then 10 per
cent. Under the present tariff OF 10
per cent tho same set exactly rctails in
the same stores for 81. That set deco
rated then relaled ut Sl5, and to-day,
under an increased tariff, it sells for
$50. Competition brings down the
price, and protection fosters the compe-
tition."
The facts furnished by Mr. Franz
helm set at naught ali the free trade
theories.

THE EFFECr on GLASS.

President Smith, of thu 4. +. G. W. u,
Expresses Himself.
William ]. Smith, president Of the
American Flint Glass Workers Union,
who has paid considerable attention 10
tariff matters, said in discussing the
bill to 4 Pittsburgh reporter:
at the glass schedules rs reported by
the committee should be adopted, the
elect will be to throw many glass work
ers out Of employment. Its adoption
will not necessarily make any wage con-
test on the lines OF goods most affected,
as manufacturers will import rs they
did in the past, particularly before tho
Mckinley law was put into force. For n
number OF years, owing TO the mad
equacy OF tho tariff, workers on certain
lines OF goods had been able to earn but
d bare subsistence, the little work they
received being generally upon those
thin blown goods tina: could not well be
nested for importation. These can be
laid down in New York, duty paid, ct
81 40 per dozen under the new schedule.
This shows the cost OF making these ar
ticles abroad to be less than 81, prob.
ably about so cents per dozen. These
imported articles would probably sell
at less than 81 % Il dozen. With the
little protection they were given, now
cut oil from ~ to 80 per cent. the out
look for many flint glass workers is in
deed disCouragiu2.
"One article alone will serve to show
how badly the flint glass trade would
be affected by the adoption OF the re-
ported schedule. Ten-inch, ring-top
dome shades, which are used in large
quantities in this country, approximate
in cost Of labor, material, etc, nearly
81 10 per dozen. To compete success
fully against such prices American
workmeu would be compelled to reduce
their wages from p to So per cent"
