walked up, pretty late, probably, to the
alarming condition Of the country, and
made a partial showing Ror my findings
in that respect. All admit that previous
to 1873, and for years before, the labor
OF the country was generally employed
and Q smile Of contentment and sRtisfaC.
tiOn rested upon every countensnoe, ss
there were no tramps abroad; the people
were out Of debt, with no mortgages to
speak Of, and no suffering and distress
in the land. Our finances and financial
condition were everything that could be

smoothly and satisfactorily, nay, trium-
phRntly, and the nation advancing in
wealth and prosperity as never before in
her history. When all at once came the

ment was dscrsed. It would seem that
the people we're in too prosperous con-
dition, that the banks and bankers,
stock jobbers and corporations were not
reapinR a sufficient share Of the pro-
Deeds of labor and this must be cor
rected. Therefore, the movement Of the
engine was reversed; the cause Of the eX-
ceedipg prosperity, an abundant cur
rsncy, under which people were not
driven to borrow, or burden themselves
with debt, was stricken down, and silver
outlRwed and deprecated. The newt
able result followed. Prosperity began
to wsne-doubt and hesitation en-
velopsd every department OF business.
Prices fell off and have continued to fall
till no prudent man will enter upon any
new enterprise with the prospect before
him, and q half million Of those already
in business representing Of course five
times az many people) have bsen driven
to the wall and gone into bankruptcy,
and all trades were forced to check up
and restrict their output and operations.
Labor, of course, followed suit, and all
industries droop and die, except those
sustained and supported by govern
ment-msnufacturing, banking, etc.
As a consequence, consumption OF the
very nsCessaries Of life, to say nothing Of
luxuriss, has been friRhtfully dimin-
ished, and millions Of our people are
daily and annually living on one-hRlf the
rations allowed criminals in the peniten.
tiaries, and patients in the sVylums Of
the country. Aud this underconsump.
ton, and not overproduction, is what's
the matter. Take the United States Ia
Dor commissioned report for 1891 for
example, where it is shown that family
No. 97S, Of five persons, lived at a cost OF
food of 80 cents q meal; family No. $50,

2132, on @ little over cents q meal;
family No. 2127, Of ten persons (coSton
splnnersl lived on 1872 cents q meal;
family No. 214S, Of ten persons, on IL
cents q meal; and the Average cost per
meal of 2,132 families working in the
cotton mills of the country was less than
AZ cents Q meal, while the owners and
proprietors Of those mills we're poCketing

New YORK, Jan A peculiar abode

West One aundredIh street station, on
the vacant lot Columbus avenue and
One Hundred and Ninth street. While
patrolling his beat the officer noticed
smoke apparently rising from a pile of
snow. Prompted a good deal by Gu
curiosity then turned into amazement.
AS he began TO investigate the mystery
there was a sliding sound as if panel
door was slid open, and he heard voices
coming from the ground. In moment
a mans head was showed through an
opening. and voice from the head de-
manded OF Leggitt what he wanted.
What are you doing?" asked the Of
ticer, seeming great ''haul."
The head disappeared and the voice
was heard to say:

when the officer interrupted them.
They were arrested, and in the Harlem

QUITE A TARIFF WAR

Matter.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-The tariff war
between the United States and Europe
reached an acute phase today. AS fore-
Swallowed in the Associated Press dis
patches last week, the very first official
act of Mr.. Henglemueller. the new
Austrian minister, was the Judgment
of protest againt that para
graph for sugar schedule act
which imposes all additional duty OF
one-tenth of per cent on sugar coming
to the United States from countries
which pay an export bounty on 1t. Ihls
action was taken today, and the ground
taken by the minister was similar to
that which formed the basis OF
the protest of Germany - that
additional duty paid discrlm-
mates against Austria. and is eonse-
quently violation of the treaty OF COM
merce with that nation. SO far no threat
of retaliation accompanied the protest,
but in this Mr.. Henglemueller is but
following the example set by the Ger
man minister. and the next step Will
undoubtedly be in the same direction,

striction upon an American product
that is imported in quantities into
Austria.
The four great sources of our sugar
supply, outside of the small proportion
contributed by Louisiana, are Cuba,
Germany, France and Austria. with
three OF these countries we are already
at odds over the sugar duty, and IN the
case of France there are already lndi-
cations of the adoption of a re-
taIiatory policy in the I'M
position of restrictions upon our
meat trade and the lmporta-
ton of American wheat and flour. This
whole subject was under discussion by
the cabinet today, and. as far as can be
gathered, the outcome. if congress falls
to come to the relief of the executive
by the removal of the duty which is
supposed to cause the trouble there
must he resort to retaliation which
will either open European countries to
our exports or close our own ports to all
European products.

entails to the Canadian Pacific today
made definite proposition to that line
looking to the abolition Of the excessive
commissions paid at Canadian and
American ports. 1t is not proposed to
do away with the commissions entirely.
but 10 reduce them i'll large measure.
Ii the Canadian Pacific does not accept
the plan, the Western roads will renew
the fight against it. The committee
which had under discussion the boycott
on the Union Pacific announced that it
was not able to agree, and will take
further time to work on the mat
ter. The Atchison-Southern Pacific
committee was not able to report.
The agreement which these two
lines reported the other day
had been reached to their mutual salts
faction has gone by the board. The Off
cials of the Southern Pacific gave their
consent TO the plan of adjustment. but
later announced that on reading the
agreement they found that there were
some things in it which they could not
approve, and the entire thing went to
pieces. The two lines are now endeay-
oring to get together again.
A conference was held today between
this representatives of the Union Pacific
Oh one side and the Rio Grande, Bur-
lington and Rock Island on the other to
see if some agreement which will per-
init the exchange OF all business be-
tween the lines represented without
restriction could not be reached.
Nothing was done, principally because
the Union Pacific refused TO receive one
way business to Portland except at the
Missouri river. 1t demands the long
haul on the business and will not ac-
cept it at Denver or Ogden.
