! THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. MARCH 9, 1892 IT WILL LAST FOR MONTHS Tariff Dela‘o Which Begins Tolay Will Be Lengthy. M'MILLIN WILL LEAD THE DEMOCRATS. $Vhen This Discussion 1 Coneln mr. | Bryan's Measure Agninst the Domestic Prodo of Binder Twine Will e tely Constdered, JNTEENTH STREET, WasniNaroy, D, C., March '8, Congressman MoMillin of Tennessee, who, In consequence of Mr. Springer’s illness and continued absence from thohouse, will be the democratic leader in the tariff dispute which begins tomorrow, said today that his speech on the wool bill would probably occupy an hour and a half, He will oo followed by Mr. Dingloy of Maine for tho republicans. These two members will control the time and aliot mont of speakers, There threatens to be a delugo of tarift speeches, for both McMillin and Dingloy say that they have beon over- xun by ambitious members, anxious for an opportunity to air their tarifi views. Tho outlook is that these speecties will continue for nearly two months, for besides the sot speeches to be delivered thers will be num- berless amendments, all of which favolve speeches. After the wool bill is disposed of Mr. Bryan’s free binding twine will be as exhaustively discussed, and that will e fol- lowed by the freo lumber biil. They Want Deop Water, Today Representatives Pickler and Jolly appoated before the river and harbor com- mitteo and advocated a liberal appropriation for the upper Missouri river. Colonel Jolly said jnst as soon as thero is an established chanuel made by the government, with any certainty of its continuanceand maintenance, @ line of boats would be established between Bismarck and Sioux City and that the peopls of Charlos Mix couuty will put on one boat by themsolves just as soon us they can get water enough, He added that no railroad had been built in that vicinity for years and that Chamberlain, Yankton and Pierre are the only places on the Missouri having rail roaa connections, South Dakota’s congress- men are very hopeful that thero will bosome- thiog done in the river aund harbor bill to- ward yiviog them the improvements they asked for today, The members of the house from Iowa as well as most of those from all the northwest- ern states, including Nobraska, have joined in a circular letter to the chairman on rivers and harbors urging the advisability of ap- propriatiug morey for the decp water chan- nel between Lakes Superior and Huron and the port of Buffalo. his circular is tho re- sult of the opposition manifested on the part of one or two members from Michigan who seem to beliove that the shallow *channel ‘would injure the benefits of towns in Michi- gan in which they reside. Nebraska's Washington Colony. The Nebraska State Republican association here held a rousing meeting in the Grand Army of the Republic hall last night. OMi- cers for the ensuing year: Johu Hyde, president; J. M. Hyatt, vice president; Frank I Israel, secretary; K. C. Brown, financial secretary; T W. F. Williums, treasurer, and W, T. Hastiogs, sergeant-at- arms. Several new members enrollea. A big time is expected at tho next meeting on tho first Monday n April, when Senators Paddock aud Manderson will speak. This club will be an important factor in the com- 1ng campaign in Nebraska, > Opposed By the South. For two days tho senate has been debating the Paddock pure food bill. Taere seems great opposition to tho measure from tho democratic side, particularly from the cotton states. The ostensiblo ground of opposition 1s state rights; that the police power and uarantine Is reserved to the states and that this 1nspection bill infringes this right. The real ground 1s opposition to the anti-adult ation law, which may restrict the uso of cotion seed 0il as an adulterant. Senator Paddock has surprised even his friends by his versatility and ability 1o running debate and his perfect familiarity with the law and tho history of all anti-adulteration legis- lation. v or Te Bee, } Miscellaneous, Tho ontmeal, cotton, coke and other sub- uroan milling interests at Kearney have asked fora mounted carrier to deliver the mails to their institutions, a rejuest which has once been denied but will again be re- peated to the department by Sevutor Mander- son. Thomas H. Brown, superintendent of the public building at Sioux Falls and a prom- inent citizen of that city was on the floor of fle bouse today and was introduced to esars. Reed and Crisp by Representative Pickier. He leaves for his home tomorrow. Complaiuts have been made frequently of iate concerning the star service between Stoux City and Moville, Ia., and m order that there may ve no further necessity for dissatisfaction with the railroads, the post- master general has sent (0 the postmasters at those two points requesting that a schedule ‘be made out which will correct the trouble, A. S. Garretson of Sioux City, who has been spapding some time on business in New York, writes that he expects to reach homo on Thursday next. Howard S. Baker and wife of Sioux City, who are stopping at_the Arlington, took in the sights at the capital toaay. Next Saturday has been sot apart for eulo- gies on the late Congressman George R. Gamble of South Dakota, On that day Messrs. Pickler and Jolly of that state, John- sou of North Dakota, Bryan of Nebraska, Lind of Minnesota and Perkins of Iowa will pay tributes to the dead stutesman, Bonntor Paddock proposed aa amendment to a regular nprropriuuml increasing the salary of the assistant attorney genersl who prosecutes Indian claims, to §,000. General Colby of Boatrice occupies that position at the prosent. Senator Sanders of Montana and Repre- sentative Clark of Wyoming appeared before 8 house committee today and opposed vigors ously the bill grantivg a right of way to the Montana Mineral Railwusy company to enter the Yellowstono National pavk fow miles, 50 as to reach Cook City, There are two measures on this subject before the com- mittee, one throwing opon railroad priviloges about Cook City by sezragating that part of tho perk to the public domain. The com- 1mittoe is almost solidly opposed to this bill, 80 that if the bill opposed by Messrs, San- ders and Clark 1s defeated, no railroad can eot into the National park by act of this con- gross.

Hammond Packing Company Plans, A party of tho officials of the George H. Hammond Packing company were in the city yesterday. They comprised Dircctors George H. Hotchkiss of New York and C. I, Chapmaa of Boston, together with J. D. Standish, secrotary and_treasurer of tho company, and L. A, Davis, suporvising architect. Their visit was mainly for the purpose of avciding on the details of their contemplated improvements, which are now assured. They oxprossed thomselves as highly pleased with the success of their South Omaha interests and equally gratitied Wwith the prospect of additionsl prospority in the future. “You may be assured,” said Mr. Standish, ‘‘that if we did not have a great deal of con- fidence in the future of South Omaha as a packing point we wouid not be here for the purpose of planning the best method to in vest a large additional capital in our plant, Our business here has increased ut a rato which we think warrants us in an additional investment, and we are looking over tho eround with that ond in view. It is most likely that the details of the projected im- provements will be decided on any further than they have already been publisted until Mr. Comstock, the president of the company, returns from furope. We expect him back in about ten days and ho will probably come direct to South Omaha. *‘We are fully aecided as to the wisdom of enlarging the plant. It is onlv a question now of details, which wiil bs fully decided on when Mr. Comstock arrives. After that work will bo begun at once and the now buildings completed as rapidly as possible.” Mr. Davis will begin work upon the plans today and will probabiy be here most of the time uptil the improvements are completed.

The Tribune undertook aspocial inves- tigation of the western railway situation. Its representatives wero sent through Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. The question was looked into from every point of view. Both shippers and railway men were seon. State officials and memovers of the stato railway commission were interviewed. Bankers, merchants and others interested 1n the commerce of the countryand in tho effect of railway management wore talked with, 10 do this work it was necessary in many cases to conceal the fact that the men car ingon the investigation were in any way connectod with a newspaper. Shippers were extremely cautious about even making a complaint that tHey thought by any chance might reach the ears of railway officials. Thoy knew from bitter experience what it meant to incur the enmity of the men in the management of railway property. Questions They Asked, The following questions were propounded ; Is tho intorstate law a success ora failure? 1s the broad underlying principle on which thatlaw is founded—equality for all ship- pers—recognized in the commercial business of the country? Can the obscure shipper send his single car of freight at the samo rate that the largo shipper—with relations of close familiarity with railroad interests—is able to send his hundred cars; or is thero still a system of favors and diserimination which is building upa few powerful interosts and communities and strangling all weak competitors? 15 such discrimination extended from in- dividuals to communities, and are certain favored localities being built up whilo othor localities with as good or batter natural ad- vantages and lacking only the advantage of arbitrary corporation favor being left behind in a hopeless race? Have raiiroad managers entored into part- norship with large shippers, with the result ‘that the commercial field in certain direc- tions s absolutely in coutrol of those men who are so favored with freight facilitios and the profits of the business absorbed 1n this partnership existing between shippers and railroad managers? Below Tur Bee raproduces some inter- views with western men on this interesting subject: Governor Boyd on Rallrond Regulation, Governor Boyd of Nobraska takes a posi- tion in opposition to the very principles upon ‘which the interstate commerce law is based. He seems to believe " that the business of common carriers is little different from any other commercial undertaking, and that these common carriers have full right to do a wholesale business at wholesale rates. In his words, ‘*The man who ships 100 cars a day should have a better rate than the man who ships only one.” “The intorstate commerce law is a fraud and an imposition,” said Governor Boyd. “It works for the benefit of the roauds and not for the people. I believe that many of tho large shippers are getting rebates. In fact I know they are. This law ought §to be wiped off the statute books. At present rates are 10 to 15 per cent higner than they ought to be in Nebraska. Roads are making large interest on their in- vestments, The year oefore they did not make so much. Theu we had a drought; now with the business resulting from the present immense crops they are certainly making a large return on the amount in- vested, Iam in o delicate position. 1 vetoed the bill a year ago knowu as the Nowborry bill. That provided for a reduction of 30 to 70 per cent in local freighit tariff, Iv was too much. Jt amounted to confiscation. I should have approved a reasonable bill, My party stands pledged to pass a maximum rate bill. What the legislature wanted was & griovance and not a remedy. - Such a re- duction as was then proposed would be un- just. Had 1 oeen allowed to remain in office should have called the legislature together to consider tnis railroad question, As it is, I have not made up my mind whether it would be better to do 8o now or not. If the legislature is callea for a special session, I shall embrace in my call a reasonable rate bill, How it Affects Omaha, *I do not think the interstate commerce law is a good measure. It bas not helped the people; it has not accomplished the purpose for which it was enacted. Now it 18 the fow who get the rebates; before it was the many. Under the way of doing business which all of the roads have adopted sinco the law went into effect, one man controls the entire grain business of each big road. “Some people say we are not. interested in local rates, that it is only through rates we want to look after. We are more interested in local rates than you may think. The live stock business is an important industry, Thore are large packing houses at Omaha. 1 was the pioneer packer there myself and have ucked 150,000 hogs a year. I'rom a station n Nevraska less than 100 miles from Omaha tho carload rate to Chicago is §75 a car. I'ne rate on that same car from Omaha to Chicago would be 35 a car. It costs 830 for the first 100 miles and 45 for the next 500 miles, or 830 for the first 100 miles, &) for each 100 miles after that. There 1s where Nebeaska is los- ing. We want to pack hogs in Omaha and those rates are an_injustice, “It is a dangerous thing, however, for a legislature to undertake to rogulate rates, A man who can make a tratic sheet is worth a good many thousand dollars a year. Legis- lators do not know much about trafiic sheets. ‘The bill which I vetoed containea 413 pages and covered every imaginable kind of “mer- chandise. 1t was altogether too voluminous. 1f I were going to make a maximum rate bili t reduce the rates in this stato I would simply take the tariff on the classifications a3 1t stanas now and cutdown the tariff 10 or |15 per cent. That is the simplest way to do it *'I do not velieve in the interstate com- merce law it _is not right that suy one in business in Omaha, say, who is shippig forty or fifty carloads a day, should have w0 puy us much 8 tho man shippiog one car- oad, It is not s0 in other lines of business. I think the man who sbips 100 cars a day should have & better rate thau the man who ships only one.” Law is a Diabolical Outrage, “I will tell you what I think of the inter- stato commerce law on condition that you do not print name i1 connection with the in- terview,” said a high official of the Union Pacitic at Omaba, “The interstate com- merce law 1s & diabolical outrage; the long and short haul idea is wrong in priuciple. 1t may do for some eastern states, but it works groat injury to the western states. It bas taken the suap and incentive w0 a vigorous and progressive polley out of railroad man agers, ‘‘In this matter of Alma grain rates which tbo state commission has spoken about, we take the stand that it isa d}nlmiur cireum- stance, ana we will face the courts on that round if we ever haveto. Itis a dissiwi- ar circumstance, because the B. & M. road runs through Alma directly to Denver. That carries grain frow that point, and we must weet its compotition or 10se all tho busivess. That we cousider creates a dissimi- lar circumstance, and s0 we haul the grain in gettiug it to Denver tnrough points where the rate is higher thau we charge for the Alma grain. ur rates in tnis state are fixed by longitudinal belts, This makes distance north aud south from cast and west trunk lines cut little or no fig- ure, As an illustration, we have 700 wiles of road north and south from Deunver that all take the same rate. A good many towns that ure on branches north or south of the wain live are practically biought down to the main line because the same rate 18 made to the end of the branch as to the point on the main loe from where the branch starts. “You can find plenty of violations of the loug and short haul clause nearer home than this. Thereis nota road runniog iuto St. Paul from Chiocazo bift sehat is ignoring that | section of the Iaw. Faw peoplo undorstand what a complicated thing rate making is You begin rato up’in Manitoba and tho effect of it does not stop until you roach the Gulf of Mexico.” Long and Short Haul Violations, “Our state local rates wero established in 1888, said W. A, Dilion of the Nebraska Board of Railway Commissioners. “They are a great deal higher than tho Iown rates, higher than the rates in Kansas, and _somo higher thanin Dakota, but the maximum rates as then cstablished by the board are only usea by tho railtoad compantes to pro- tect our home merchants. You oan ship from Omabn to Beatrice, for instance, at rates from 25 to 80 pet cent lower than the maximum rates fixed by the board. Some towns like Omaha, Lineoln and Nebraska City and otber aistributing points, have spe- clal distributive raves, ““Thero are localities that noed protection, that must bo guarded from cities outside the state to give our home merchants opportun- ity to trade. Such a casc as that is at Nor- folk. The rate between Norfolk and Sioux City is held fully up to the limit of the max- imam fixed by the board. 'I'he roads give it that limit for the purpose of protecting Omaha merchants, who are 180 miles aw: from Norfolk, against tho Sioux City mer- chants, who are only soventy-six miles away. ‘The rates from Omaha are the same as from Sloux City. “‘An 1nstance of the violation of the inter- state commerco law in this state is on grain rates on tho Union Pacific from Holstein, Oldlang, Minden, Wilcox, Alma and other cities to Denver, The circumstances are those: Tho Union Pacific bas a branch lino from Fairfield to Alma. To ship to Denver they have zot to haul the cars east and then north to Grand Island, where the main line is touched, d then west to Denver. The rates from Alma, Holstein and a number of other places to Denver are 20 conts, They baul this grain right throvgh Hastings, Grand Island and other towns, from which they chargo 25 cents, clearly a greator charge for a loss distance in the same direction and over the same track, Another Gnse of Sugar Rato. ““The sugar rates in this state are as bad as the much-contasted rates in Kansas., The rato from San Francisco to Omaha 18 65 cents. If the shipment comes over the Union Pacific it passes through the town of Grand Island, but1f it is stopved there the rate is conts: that 1s, equal to the through rate plus thie local rate from the Missourt river back to Grand Island. This is an infernal outrage. Thero 1s a similar condition as to the rate on rice, canned goods, and I think fruit. “'1 bave no doubt thut some of the large grain shippers in this state aro getting inside rates, I know of shipments that have been made which would have netted aloss of 3 cents a bushel if tho rogular tariff rates had been paid. This is uot an advantage to the country, While it is possible that the 1 who has a cut rate may today pay the farcier a littlo more for his grain than he could otherwise get, it willall end in the farmer being worse off than ho is now. Ido not be- lieve it is right for any ono man or any one city to have an unfaiv: advantage. Some of the farmers who thought they were getting more by selling to shippers who have insido arrangements with the roads contracted to deliver grain within a certain time; they found that the influence of the big shippers with the roads was such that the tracks wero tilled with loaded cars, ana the farmer was unable to make the delivery on time nad he was charged so much a'day for the delay.’ Railroud Men and Shippers, Harris Bros. is a firm who are doinga great amount of business along the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy lines. They have a headquarters at Lincoln, Neb,, and Burling- ton, Ia., and Ikred Hurms is the resident partner at Lincoln., The firm has niuety elevators along the Burlington lines, a big elevator at Lincoln and a 600,000 bushel ele- vator at Buriington, Ia, A universal opinion among western grait buyers is that this firm evjoys special advantages from the Burling- ton road, and thav view is given weight rrom the fact that the vice president of the Bur- lington roaa is a brother of the members of the firm and' the membvers of the firm were formerly employes of the Burlington road.

The re- lations betweon Mr, Counselman and the railway officials are those of the most inti- mate character, ‘U'ii6 policy of concentrating their business through his hands has assumed shape and is today au accomplished fact. Their methods ana plans are 1dentical. How Peavy Prospered. This bitof biography concerning Mr. Peavy comes from an Omaha grain dealer. Frank H. Peavy, the elevator king, isa man of about 42 years of age. Not many years ago he wus an unsuccessful agricultural imple- ment dealer at Swoux City, Ia. After he abandoned the agricultural implement busi- ness the manager of a railroad running out of Sioux City offered him tbe opportunity to take charge of a lot of elevators that had been built by this company and which had not been profitably managed. Peavy saw and improved this ‘opportunity to make a start in the grain business, which was really an smalgamation of interests between him- self and tho railroad company. The fixing of rates and other conditions were always in his favor. He controlled the situation as far as this road was concerned, and gradu- ally extended his relations to other great lines of railroads, until bo practically nolds in his hand by reason of his peculiar rela- tions a controlling influence all through the northwest, extending from Oregon, Wash- ington and the Dakotas to the Atlantic sea- board. He bas to avery great extent the power to make prices on grain and rates of transportation companies. ‘That he wets spe- cial rebates there 1s noquestion. Aside from the advantages ho gots from rebates ho is the initiul ana termial shippor, before and after the grain gets into his elovators at Minneap- olis, Omaha, Kansas and Chicago, He is the buyer, seller, middleman, froight mu- nipulator, warehouseman and grain mixer, a veritable Pooh-Bah of the entire situation as far as his relations extend, ——— Dr. Birney,nose and tnroat.

ATIONAL BANK STATEMENT Omaha Bauks Show a Largely Increased Line of Deposits, LOANS AND DISCOUNTS ARE SHRINKING Finan fers Differ as to the € sent Accumulation of ¢ the Banks and the Light De- mand for Monoy, Tho national banks have published a state- ment of the condition of businoss on Murch 1, pursuant to the call 1ssued by the United Statos comptroller of tho currency. Tho compiled statement proseated herewith will Rive a correct iden of the actual condition of the nine national banks of Omaha. In order toaamit of comparisons being made, the totals are given of ‘the stalements made in Fevruary, May and Jul 10a05%02) SNWIS DY U [LETN Suvg [enonuN D10 w0 > ] 3 8 H suvg 1euonTN sung IBuONIN uopu i s3I0, a8t 1 goeR Ml Much bas been said of the immense umount of capital that is lying in the vaults of our banking nstitutions, and a glance at the totals of the last statement will show that the situation hus not been exaggerated. 7The nine national banks of Omahs, with a com- bined capital of §,000,000, are carrying a line of ~deposits amounting to a&lmost $17,000,000. As compared with the statement of Febru- ary,a vear ago, there has been an increase in the'deposits of ubout §1,750,000. At the same time there has been a decrease in the loans and discounts of over $i00,000. In other words, while more money is being placed in the banis by depositors, loss is being with- drawn by borrowers than a year ago, ‘I'ne shrinkage in the loans and the increase in the deposits would give the banks over 2,000,000 more than they had a year ago. A glance at the cash means, which are repro- sented by the cash on hand and the cash ia banks, shows that the banks have actually gained 445,15 us comparea with a year ago, It | be noted that this money has been deposited with other banks, that is banks of reserve at Chicago and New York, there being no local demand for it. The actual condition of the banks can be easily seen from tho statement but the causes which have led up to these conditions and their true meaning cannot be so readily deterwined. The fact that there has beer a decrease in the loans and discounts muy mean that peo- ple are in easier circumstuncos and not forced to borrow. A year ago all the banks were compelled to carry a good many of their customers who weére unable to meet their obligations, owing to the business de- pression consequent upon the crop failures of the previous vear, These peopla have been gradually working their way out and reducing their indebtedness at the banks. ‘This would indicate an improvement in business conditions that is always gratify- ing. Atthe same time it mustbe borne in mind that largely increased deposits occur- ring atthe same time thatloans are con- tracting may not uecessarily be a good indi cation, nteresting to ¥ Financiers and the financial papers have been watching the accumulation of capital in the banks with o great deal of intercst, and tho theories advanced have been many. The Americap, Banker remarks that consid- erable discussion is going on “'as to the causes und the rewedaies for the inelasticity of the currency, the plethora of capital, the accu- nelers, mulation of bauk deposits which are reported A ringing noise in the ears, head- ache, deafness, eyes weak; ob- etruction of nose, discharges falling into throat, some- times profuse, s watery and acrid, /,,m,u(;:, at others, thick, AHUY tenacious, bloody and putrid; offen- sive breath: smell and taste finpaired, and general debility.

During our war finance, as many of our bankers well remem- ber, the samo complaints were m-~do, and they becamo specially famillar as the cur- rents of paper issues goreed the channels of the monetary circulation. It is therefore contended by some authorities that the ple. thora of bank deposits and the lethargy of the loan market may bo due to the now issuos of currency. Othor bankers attribute tho ovilton want of public confidenco and a consequent inortness of public ond privato credit. By many prominent men in Now York and abroad the troubleis ascrived to the silver agitation. The New York Chamber of Com. merce with other commercial and financial bodies has urged this view with much earn- estnes upoa congre 1t is observed that all the best opinions agree that the monotary lothargy lies in defecis of publio confidence and private credit, and that if we would strengthen or revive tho robust activity of the one we must r habilitate und revive the other, However this may be, it is certain that the state of goneral confidenco and mer- lit, whatever bo local and tempo- rary defects, offers many gratifying condi- tious of promise and prospority. *This is evident from the earnings of the railroads, the general condition of the gov- cronment revenue, and the reports of trade and commerce, and especiaily from the enormons transactions reported by the banks all over the country. The bank clear- ings for several weaks past have made a dis tinct advance. The February clearings for the whole of the United states were $6,251, 000,000, against £,053,000,000 last year, In January, 1802, these clearings were & 000,000, against $4,067,000,000 in 1891, §5,255, 000,000 10 1800 and §4,525,000,000 in 1850, Toreno, lowa, April 6, 1801, Or.
