Today a democratic member of the ways and means committeo stated to Tne BEe man that it had been finally determined to increase the tax on beer and other malt Hquors to #2 a varrel; that it was the orig- fnal purpose of the committee to make no change in the internal taxes, but the dem- ocratic members of the v and means committee had come to the concinsion that a bill which would raise sufficlent customs revenues to meet the expenses of the govern- ment with the present internal taxes could not get through the scnate, as there are a number of democrats in that body who op- pose the lowering of dutics on certain arti cles. and who will not permit such changes in the customs duties as will suficientiy in crease the Customs revenues. It has also been vractically decided that a duty will be added to sugarof either 1 cent or 1; cent a pound, The democrats on the wavs and means committee say that by in the tax on malt liquors to rotull prico will be only slightlys incr and the burden must fall upon the prewers, who are declared to be rich and well able to take this tax from their profits. © ruet Finally Awarded, The pavers finally contract to the Drexels for the stone work of the new federal building at Omaha have all been signed and delivered, and there mains nothing now to further the beginning of the work. Mr. Drexel has left Washing- ton for liis home with expectation of the be- ginning of operations as soon_ as tne granite can be received from Colorado. The terms of the contract are as anticipated in Tue BrE special. To Guarantee Stability. There is talk in congress about the adop- tion of a joint resolution in advance of tariff tetion which will provide that no tariff law which may in future be enacted shall be pealed or modified under fiv rs. ‘The object of such a measure is plain on its face. It would give manufacturers, labor andidealers in manufacturcs a guarantee that there would be no disturbance under a new tariff law within a given time. Now those Who operato unaer a tariff law never know how soon they will encounter an important change, and have their plans and capital disturbed. Of course, a law of this chara ter would not be binding uvon any quent congress; it could oniy be effective by general consentand proper. respect to the spirlt which made it. It is believed that there would be so much respect for it, out of a general desire to establish a precedent, that it would be regarded sacredly. A measure of this character could be pushed through in advance of action on the tariff bill, by party action 1f necessary: but republicans have intimated that unless they were confident that the new tariff law was to be revolutionary and unreasonable— which is hardly possible. considering the closeness of the senate, where there will al- ways be more or_less liberty in debate and on—they would join in supporting the proposition, s0 as to have it go into law as a monpartisan sentiment, Must Compete with Germany. Official information comes from Germany to the effect that the Germans are secking a foreign trade for their machiery for the first time. Heretofore the demand _for agri- cuitural implemonts, engines, machinery of all kinds for manufactories and contrivances which enter into tho industries has oeen sufficient in Germany to absorb the supply, with the exception of course of a few rare articles like those produced by Krupp and great ship builders. The Germans, how- ever, have been imitating the~ Americans in the production of machines until the mills of that country are supplied with all of the Improvements that are to be found in the Unlted States, and furthermore they find an overproduction. Strange, but_the Germans, in their efforts to secure an export trade for their ma- chinery, are not turning their faces toward our country. They are manufacturing so many imitations of American products that they do not care to place them in competi- tion with the genuine article; but the Ger- mans ave coming more directly into competi- tion with American manufacturers than if they were to come on our own soil. They are going into South and Central America and numerous out of the way portions of the world, like Afvica and Japan_ with their products. ' It is reported that the German exhibits at the World’s falr were the first, of the kind ever made away from home, and that they mean an aggressive future in the contest for an export trade. American manufacturers of everything in the line of iron, steel, glass and” wood work will find Gerinany o sharp compotitor wherever they may go in the future. As to Weatern Postmastars. From the annual report of the fourth assistant postmaster general, who makes all of the appointments of fourth class post- masters, some interesting facts are men- tioned. "It states that during tho past year there were established 1n Nebraska eloven postoftices, which was a decrease of twenty- two from the ? fous year, and in lowa there were established last year forty-three postofices, an increase of twenty-eight over the provious year, During the fiscal year ended June 30, 122 Nebraska postmasters resigned, thirty-six were removed, three died a ‘Uruntnmnh* of all grades were appointed.

Wasniseroy, Nov. 4. -The populist mem- bers of congress, including senators and mombers of the house, today issued an nd- dress appealing to the people to take up the silver cause. The name of Senator Jones of Nevada appears among the signers. Thead- dross begins with o statement of the aggre- gate debts of the world and of the gold and silver in existence, calls attuntion to the fact that the arts require almost the total gold production, and says the decrease of the volume of this metal caused by hoarding has caused it to appreciate 40 or 50 per cent. The address continues Synopsls of the Address. “The repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill dostroys silver as money of ultimate redemption and reduces that metal to credit money, to flow only by redemption ingold. Tho $1.100,000,000 in paper and sil- ver now in eirculation must rest upon less than §100,000,000 of golt in the treasury as availuble for redemption. The only reason demonetizing silver was to enhance the value of gold and obligations payable in such money. It is further proposed to sell bonds of the United States and bny eold fen the reserves in the tresur banks will use the bonds for bank- ing and issue their notes, upon which the people must pay interest, as well as on the bonds.” Aftor reviewing the silver legisi it is asserted that the socr rendered the option to pay exporters of gold without then proclaimed that the § driving cold out of the count riticises the democratic | o The ada Tty ana asserts Sherman act interfered with the estab- idavd, and that the New York and London bankers, and the present administration in the Unfted States and the Gladstone government in England, conspired to force its repeal. *“The president issued a call for an extra session of congress, in which he attributed the panic which he himself had aided to create to the Sherman act.” Contest Over the Repeal 1511 Referring to the contest over the repeal bill in the senate the address suys it con- tinued until the gold power and federal patronage could induce a majority of that body to submit to_executive dictation. The gold press n every commercial center teemed with misrepresentation, insult and abuse of the unpurchaseable defenders of the people. Bauks, boards of trade and the commercial press demanded a vote without debate. The power of money was felt on every hand. Intimidation aud threats of versonal violence loaded the mails of sen- ators. Unusual and cruel hours were re- sorted to to exhaust the advocates of silver and deprive them of an_opportunity of putting upon the record vheir reasons why the people should nou be robbed for the benefit of the money changers. The document ends with an apneal to the people to study the question and with this: “I'Tust no man who once betrayed you; put 1o faith in any president who assumed dic- tatorial power; do not be overawed or in- timidated by Wall street and the power of the national banks. When the people rise in their might, intrigue, cunning, usurpation, bribery and’ corruption will vanish befors Signers of the Document. The paver is signed by Senators W. A. Peffer, John P.

Warner, president of the American Bimetallic league, also issued an address, which, after dwelling on the recent silver logislation, closes: *The remedy must be sought at the baliot box.

Contracts aggregat- ing but little less thon $40,000 have been let for tha new buildings at the agency, and the work of construction has now been com- menced, All the lumber, stone and other materials necessary for the buildings must be hauled by team from here to the site for the new age about thirty-five miles up the Missouri river, on the wést side of that stream. As there will be in the neighbor- hood of 1,000 wagon loads of building material to be hauled this dis- tance, it will readi be seen that every farmer or other person owuing a team can engage in the work if they desire, thus being enabled to earn snug sums of mouney at a time when th services are not needed on the farm. vo days will be necessary for making a trip, so that every night there will be hundreds of wagons and teamsters in the city until the following morning. In addition to the vast amount of material that will be transported to the location of the new agency, there will be the regular Indian supplies to be hauled to both Crow Creek and Lower Brale agencies. ‘The supplies of coal alone will consist of nearly 500 tons.
