THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE >+ TWENTIETH YEAR. { \ SOCIAL REFORMS 1N GERMANY. - Tarties Divided Regarding the Proscription of Religious Ordere, ) TARIFF MATTERS IN THE FATHERLAND. i S i Prospets That the Question Will En- j gage the Attention of the Reichstag—Caprivi and Crispi Will Confer, 4 [(Copuright 1590 by New Fork Associated Press.| Benuiy, Oc ~The commission of the reichstag to which was referred the labor bills will resume its sittings November 4, Time will thus be given for a complete dis- cussion of the measures before the re ling of the reichstag in the first week cember. The ultimate shape and bills depends largely upon the goverument's tact fu securing amajority. The center party continues to make the abolition of the pro- scrjption of religious orders an agsolute con- dition of the report and of the support of tle emperor's social reforms. The cartellists r sist the abolition, A section of the prog: sists and all the soctalists, considering the proscription contrary to the principles of a free people, will vote with the centerists. Here Windthorst veckons thus that there will be 249 votes cast for the repeal of the low. If thegovernment accepts the gauge of peace offered by the conter party and acco the abolitions desired a strong majority wi be assured for the labor and other social 4 measures. sveral oficial m s s ments point to the po rendering necess careful nursing of the ministerial m: A commission has been appointed to inquire 1o Austra-Hungarian commercial relutions with a vi diminution of tariffs Communications have been sent to leading firms in Hamburg, Bremen and other. trade centers asking for a report on the effects of the McKioley bill in their lines of trade. They are also asked what the prospects are for fluding new chanuels for merchandise af- fected by the McKinley bill. The commission on forcign taviff further has to consider the new Russian protective measure, The Rus- slan commission will n work next eek upon the details of the new tariff, which, the Novoo Vremya declares, will be the highest to rec in Europe. Official circles continue to doubt that any important alteration will be made In the existing treaty with Austria, and are n refusals upon eceived tend dissipate the feeling of alarm created by the argumented American tariff. Leading export houses appear to be doing a normul trade and American orders in leading commercial centers o not appreciably dimin- ish. However the future may affect oxports, , the government will not be driven into con- certed refusals with Austria by a sudden collapse in the American trade. Reports emanating from Paris and Vienna, attrivut- ing the initiation of the proposed concerted legislation in retaiiation for the McKinley bill to the Berlin government are utterly un- true. Since M. Reivot’s overtures looking to action were rejected no communication has passed between the French and German gov- ernments on the subject. Tne tariff negotia- tions with Austria originated solely with Count Kolnoky, the Austro-Hungarian prime minister, and are being continued with san- guine expectations on the part of German ofticials of a beneficial ssue, \ Chancelor von Caprivi will meet Signor “\\ Crispi, the Italian prime minister, at Monza, November 8. The intervtew will concern the settlement of the intrigue in the Hustrian court in favor of tho vatican and against the Italian government. Signor Crispi declares that Italy’s continuance as a member of the triple alliance is menaced by the cabal of prominent members of the imperial family of Austria, whose emmissaries the vatican en- cournges in the belief that the overthrow of Count Kalnoky or the death of Emperor Fraucis Joseph will be the signal for & rup- turein the Austro-Italian allience, which would result in an effort to restore the tem- poral power of the pope. Signor Crispi de- mands that he be aliowed to deal with a frec baud with matters relatiug to the vatican. Another Italian grievance is the avoidance of Emperor Francis Joseph to return King Humbert's visit to Vienns. Emperor Fraocis Joseph offered to go to Turin, but King Humbert declined to receive him anywhere but home, holding that the refusal of the Austrian emperor to go there was equivalent to the refusal on the part of Austria to reorganize Rome as the capital of Italy. The personal and court fueds with the quirinal and Vienna are of the most intense nature and hamper the relations of the governments, The National Zeitung states that Chancel- lor von Caprivi will also go to Madrid, where he will stay three days. 'This renews the re- ports that communications are being ex changed looking to concerted action by Ger- many, Austria, 1taly and Spain in retaliation for the adoption of the new tariff legislation ~i==w by the United States.

Now let me.siay why those years were prosperons. That tavifl of 1346 wis ap- rm\c‘uusl about the time the Mexican war broke out, and within less than a year more than $100,000,000 were disbursed by the government in all branches of mechanism We bad just made that expeaditure when the famine in Ireland called for every surplus barrel of flour and bushel of grainin tho country. “We had hardly transported tnat grain to theother side and sold it ata high price when gold was discovered in Californin and the world was enviched with the vast outputof the mines.

Now, there are four or five of what you might call acel dents or incidents of history that would h insured great prosperity o this country if there had not been & tarlff of any kind what- ev [Applause.] If the duties, instead of being what the triff of 1546 wade them, bad been only 1 per cent ad valorem, or if there nad been no duties, the country would have been prosperops. Now, if you can produce such a convulsion in the world today, if you can start a great famine, if you' can dis- rs of great pros- cover mew old fields with uncounted millions _ thrown into our _laps, you an have every nation in - Lurope turbed by @ revolution, if you can have the three greatest nations of Europe go to war for two years and a half, then we will all quit talking tariff and 2o to supplying the um which that condition of things would o, |ApP In the fall of 1%, when this tariff had been under way for ten years, this great warin Europe came to au end, and so did all prosperity anfl so did the tariff of 1846, [Applause.] You all remen- ber what happened in 1857 -one of the sever- est punics and depressions this country has Pt encountered-— and as long as the: - dental props, these fortuitous happenin, these acciden revolutions, disc ies of gold, famine—as soom as they prosperity under the tariff of 154 ¢ Now [ insist that we do not want we do not want revolutions: 1o have thousauds of men slanght in onder to keep up a free tr make it look prosperous Laughter and applay ive tariff and we cau get along without the slaughter or starvation of men. \ make oursclves sustaining with somcthing beyond for people that need belp from our abund- anc d in counection with the tariff of 1546 [ call your attention historically to two other tariffs 1 addition to that. " The only three iffs the Upited States ever Lad which suddenly lowered duties was the one after the f 1812, the compromise tariff 1535 and the one in 1%, and every one of them led to business prostration in this coun- try which lasted in a greater or less degree thtil there was a protective tariff inaugur- ated.

When the tariff of 1540 was enacted there were only 20,000,000 people in the country, We now have 4,000,000, Four years after that tariff was enacted, according tothe census of the United States, we had only #,000,000,000 of property. We now have = 54,000,000 people ~ and $50,000,000000 of property. [Applause]. Gentlelen, you cannot sport with that num- ber of people and that mass of property. We cannot experiment at this time and hazard vast interests when we could not putthe country where it stands today for ten peni- tential years thereafter, |Applause).

On that form of statement I will not differ with them, Laughter). I think we should have a new era. Congress at its last session concluded to adopt & new ypolicy. They looked at South America and they found that we were receiving from those people vast im- imports and exporting little to them. The question was, shall we repeal theduty on rand give that to South America in ad- dition to coffee aud hides and d woods and rubber, and other things from South Amer- ica, and shall we ask them, if we give youour markets for & pound to let' us enter yours for @ few shillings!

How would that help ul with Brazil! ‘They have not been buying hing and they do not let anything in free.

[Laughter.| Well, we weut on an; awakened them to the necessitios of the situ- ation and we found that they feol just as we do—that two nations dealing with each othier must deal as two men do with each other-— fairly, honestly, liberally—so that the advan- tage shall not always be on the side of one man or one nation.” [Applanse.] Well, that was_reciprocity. Itis ot a very complex problem, My, Schurz rather intimates, as & strange way of getting at things, how strangely mysteriens reeiprocity is. 1t is just as strange and mysterious as when a Starke county farmer brings 100 bushels of wheat You must to Canton, gets his mouey fo ouys sup- plies for his family and gocs home. {Laughter.| That 1s the mysterions process and very diffcult 1o understand. Yet I om sure that Brazil and all the South American states understood it the moment it was men- tioned.
