ETJSSIA'S PROTECTIVE MEASURE. Chancellor yon Caprivi to Confer With Signor Crispi in Relation to Italian Grievances — A Men ace to the Triple Alliance — Cel ebration of the Ninetieth Birth day of Count yon tYioltke. Bpcclsl to Thk Morn-ixo Call Beklin, Oct. 25.— Several official move ments point to the possibility of tariff ques tion) engaging the attention of the Keichs tag, rendering necessary a careful nursing of a ministerial majority. A commission has been appointed to inquire into the Austro-German commercial relatiois with a \iew to the reciprocal diminution of tariffs. Communications have been sei.t to leading firms is Hambuig, Bremen and otnef trade centers, asking them to report on the effects of the McKinley bill in their lines of trade; also, what prospects there are for finding new channels for luenhandise effected by the McKinley bill. The Commission en Foreign Tarn's fur ther has to consider a new Russian pro tective me asure. The BdßElan Commission •»v ill begin work next week upon th>> dtUils of the new tariff, which Novoe Vremye declares will be the hishest in Eurote. Official circles continue to doubt that any inip: rtant alteration will be made in the ex isting treaty with Austria, and are equally sk-t> 'cal as to any German reprisals upon Ameri ':;n trade. Reports thus far received teni to dissipate the feeling of alarm i i by the ausmenteJ American tHriff. Leading export huuses appear to be doing normal trade, aud American orders In leading commercial centers do not aipreciably diminish. ITowever the future may affect exports, the Government will not be driven int'i conceited reprisals with Aus tria by a sudden co!lap?e in the American trade. Reports ein-.<nating from l'aris and Vienna, attributing I initiation of the pro p ><il cfHrerted legislation in retaliation for ti e MeKinley l>i!l 1 1 the Beilia liuverument, are v terly uutrue. Chaucellor yon Caprivi will meet Signor Cristi, the Italian Prime Mini-ter, at Mop sea on November Bth. The interview will concern the settlement r.f an intriiu" in the Austrian Court in favor of the Vatican Egaiust the Italian Government. Signor Crispi declures Italy's continuauce as a membra of the Triple Alliance is menaced by h cabal of prnmiucnt members of tlie im perial t amity of Austria, »hoee eniis9nrie at the Vatican encourage the belief that the overthrow of Count Kn.noky or the death of Kiiip^-ror Francis Joseph will be the signal for a rupture of the iustro-Italian alliance, which would re-u't in an effort to lv.store the temporal power of the l'upe. Signor Crispi demands that he be allowed tc deal with a freer hand with matters relating to the Vatican. Another Italian grievance is the avoidance ot Emperor Franci9 Joseph to return King Humbert's vi>it to Vienna. Kmperor Francis Joseph offered to go to Turin, but K'.ui Humbert declined to receive him any where except at Home, holding that a re fusal of the Austriaii Emperor to go there was equivalent to a iefu?al on the part of Austria to recognize Rome as the capital of Italy. The persona' and court feuds betwpen tho Quirinal aud Vienna are of the most intense nature and hamper the relations of the Government. The National Zeitung states that Chancel lor yon Caprivi will also go to Madrid, where he will stay three days. This renews th«" report that communications are bring exchanged looking to a concerted action by Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain in re taliation'for the adoption of the new tanfl leti-iation try the United States. The grand celrbration of the ninetieth anniversary of Yon Moltke's birth takes place to-morrow. Bismarck has not yet re plied to Emperor William's invitation to at tend the celebration. — «> FKEXCH I'IIuTECTION. A New Tariff Bill Presented to the Chamber M Deputies. Paris, Oct. 25.— A new tariff bill was presented to the, Chamber of Deputies to day.

The duties on eggs, butter, oil*, oleaginous seeds, woods, foiei^n wines and textile fabrics are increased. The duties on coal and chemical products re main as at present; but the tariff on metals has been revised, the duty on steel being lowered. • • SCOTTISH AFFAIRS. Ec;* p»st ons by G >lia no in an Address at D Ik iih. London, Oct. 25. — In an address at I>al teitli to-night in referring to Scottish home rule government, Gladstone said lie believed whatever Scotland deliberately asked would be found to be consistent with the unity of tl.e empire and would obtain the assent of Parliament. Touching on the matter of Scotch crofters, Gladstone depreciated the idea of emigration as a remedy for distress. With refereuc« to the disestablishment of the Scottish Church, Gladstone said it would be an enormous advantage to Scotland and to the cause of religion if the three Presby terian Churches were united. This steu, however, he did not deem advisable at pres ent, for in the approaching general elections the. disestablishment of the church would he made a test question to the exclusion of all others demanding adjustment by Parlia ment.

If a share in the result was attributed' to him (Yon Mi -like) his hearers must also remember his faithful companions and the brave men who scaled their loyalty to the Fatherland with their death. • Comte ds Paris in Can-.di. Moxtreal, Oct. 25.— A cr.ind hanfjuet was given in honor of the Comte de Paris by the Ficnch citi7.eiis to-night. Cabinet liinisters, Judges, Senators, and all thu leaders cf French Canadian Society were prisent. The Cunte received a tic-n.enilous ovatiuii, a;id tlie proceedings were uften in tenuptcd by cries of "Vive le roil" The giceting was such as has never been ac corded hereto any foreigner.

He Denies the Imputations Made by Barttelot's Brother. New York, Oct- 25.— A Herald London dispatch says: Henry M. Stanley was inter- . viewed by a Herald correspondent in Lon don to-day on the charges in Major Bartte lot's diaries and letters. "In regard to what I have -written in my br ok in Darkest Africa about Major Barttelot," said the explorer, "I have not one word to retract. What I said then I say now, and what 1 say is truth. Yes, but only part of the truth. The rest I have withheld out of regard for his family, and particularly the venerable father of the dead man whose brother is now attacking me, and who may arouse me to declare to the world that which I know, but of which he has no conception. "There is an atmosphere of mystery per vading « hat trans; in Yarubuya Camp which I should have uishe.j to leave unpen etrated. I know the real facts, and know them to be black. I know why Barttelot lay idle at Yauibuya for eleven months instead of carrying out his instruc tions and advancing, however slowly. I know why Barttclot was killed. Killed, I say, not murdered. I know why my per sonal effects were sent away so that on re turning I found myself reduced to naked ness. I know, in short, all of the terrible details that happened between the day when we marched forward, leaving a rear guard in splendid condition, anxious to follow v?, and that other day when marching backward we came upon the Bauo ya camp, hideous with death and disease. All that I knew, but, out of pity for the dead and respect for the living. it has thus far seemed right to hold my peace and not to use language to this indignant but most 111-advised brother which would do justice to Major ii.;rttelot." A Fiominent Broker Guilty of Forgery. Bhocktox (Mass.), Oct. 25.— Charles W. Robinson, a well-known stock-broker, who has been doing business through John Stetson's banking house in Boston, is a self confessed forger. The amount will not fall short of $85,000. A short time since he took Sewnll P. Howard and Emerson Goldthwaite as special partners in the brok erage business. Last Monday, hearing that the firm's account with Stetson had been closed, they informed Robinson and Insisted upon an explanation. He confessed the fort ing ol signatures to a number of notes, and has since disappeared. The Home National Bank of this city holds $30,000 the forged paper against Goldthwaite and Hov> ard an d a large amount is held by the Brockton National Bank and Plymouth banks. Kob inson's customers' losses will aggregate thousands. It is feared tint some will be ruined by the defalcations. The cause of his downfall is that he. had been speculating heavily unknown to his partners. Hire Ind'.&n Cut g»s. Santa Fe (X. U.\ Oct.

In the Western Sier ra and Grant counties, the cavalry have been scouting for weeks without result. Thus far lour persons have been murdered by the gang. J. J. Btirrira, a Mexican rnncuuian in Western Grant County, and his sou are the last victims.

OCTOBER 26- 1890-SIXTEEN PAGES. CONTEST FOR HOME INTERESTS. Stirring Address by Secretary Elaine in Ohio. Hie Real Issues at StaKe in the Present Congressional Campaigns. Short Review of National History— The Difference Between the Two Great Political Parties. Special to The MonNiso Call Caxton (Ohio), Oct. 25.— Secretary of State Blame arrived hero from Pittsbure at noon to-day. lie was met at Alliance by a Reception Committee from Canton, and es corted to the city over the Pennsylvania Railroad. A crowd of 30CO people greeted Mr. Blame with loud cheering as he alighted from the train, and they followed tho car riage cheering him all the way to the home of Major McKinley, whose guest he was during his stay here. Mr. Blame was ac companied by Mrs. Blame and their daughter. Miss Harriet Blame, and Hon. William Walter Plielps, Minister to Germany. Upon tits arrival of the carriage at the resi dence of Major McKinley, an informal re ception was held. The early trains in the forenoon brought large delegations of Re publicans from Youngstown, Alliance, Massillon, Wcosler, Wellsville and other towns in this and the adjoining districts. The streets were thronged, and at !:."<) o'clock in the afternoon a parade of the marching columns occurred. Shortly after noon it began raining, and it was decided to have the meeting at the Tabernacle, instead of at the Fair Grounds as originally in tended. The building was packed, as was also the Academy of Music, in which an overflow meeting was held. EECBETABY BI.AINK'S ADDRESS. Elaine's principal address was at the Tabernacle, where he was followed by Major McKinley. Mr. Blame said: "Mr. Chairman and ftllow-citizeuj| of Ohio — contest that is now waging for the. membership of the nest Congress is not i roperly a contest between the Republican and .Democratic parlies; this is a contest between protection ists and free-traders. [Applause.] Then arc a few free-traders among the Republi cans and many protectionists among the Democrats. This is a contest that goes to the root of the matter as to national pros perity, and on that Issue we should settle the question in favor of " home Interests, good waL-es and sound prosperity. As I was coming out to this place I found in a newspaper a speech of Carl Schurz made a week ago in Bos:ou, nnd I may say in all candor it was an able speech on the free tiiide side; tut, like all free-traders, Mr. Schurz goes bark for the golden era for American - prosperity to tiio tariff of 1846— rather a distant view backward. 1 have so often heard of the great and general pros perity of tlio tariff of 'Hi that if you will bear with me I shall say something of thai period. ACCIDENTS OH INCIDENTS. "Mr. Schurz quotes me us saying— that is why I make a personal reply— that lho tenyeats between iSiij and 18T.G under that tariff were years of very great pros perity in this country. 1 frankly repeat that those j ears were years of great pros perity. Now, let me say why those years were prosperous. That taiiff of 1846 was approved just about the time the Mexican war broke out, and within less than a year more than one hundred millions ol dollars were distributed by the Government in all of the branches of mechanism. Wo had just made that expenditure whin the famine in Ireland called for every surplus barrel of Hour and bushel of grain in the country. We had hardly transported that grain to the other ride and sold it at a high price until cold was discovered in Califor nia and the world was enriched with the vast output of the mines. We had hardly put that gold in circulation when the great revolution that began in 1818 paralyzed the industrial energies if all Europe, and gave the United State* a market that was unpar alleled. Europe had hardly quieted its rev olutionary disturbance when France ami England and Russia went into the Crimean war, and for two years and a hall iuobh great nations were paralyzed in their in dustries. Now, there are four or five of what you might call accidents or incidents of History that would lave insured great prosperity Id this country if there had nut been a tariff of any kind whatever. [Ap plause.] COLLAPSE OF PEOsrERITr. "If the duties, instead of being what the tariff of 18-Jti made them, bad been only l per cent ad valorem, or if thero had been no duties, the country would still have been prosueruus. Now, if you can produco such a convulsion in the world to-lay, ii you can discover new gold fields with uncounted millions thrown into the lap of the people, if you can have every nation in Europe dis turbed by i evolution, if you can have two of the greatest nations In Europe co to war for two years aud a half, then we will all quit talking tariff and go to supplying the vacuum which thai condition of things in Europe would create. [Applause.] "In tin' fall of ISSG, when this tariff had been under way ten years, this great war In Europe camo to an end, and so did pros perity under the tariff of 1810. You all remember what happened in 1857— one of the severest panics and depressions that this country ever encountered, aud as sunn as these; accidental prop--, these fortuitous happenings, these accidental revolutions, discoveries of Bold, ' famine, as soon us they ceased prosperity under the tariff of 184U ceased also. OTTJEII TAIiIFFS. "Now I insist that we do not want famines, we don't wans revolutions, we do not want to liave thousand* of wen slaughtered by war, in order to keep up a free-trade tariff and make it look prosperous when it is not. [daughter and applause.] | Give us a pro tective tm ill and we can get along without slaughter or starvation of men. We can make ourselves sustaining with something beyond for the people that need help from our advance. And in connection with (his tariff of '-SO 1 call your attention historically to two other tariffs in addition to that. The only three tariffs that the United States has ever had suddenly lowering duties were one made after the war of 1812, the compromise tariff of '38 and one in '40, and every one of them led to business prostration in this country, which lasted in greater or less de gree until there was a protective tariff en acted. [Applause.] OPPOSKD TO EXPERIMENTS. "You never heard of ' a free-trade tariff coming to the relief of the people. [Laugh ter.] The only three times thu people of the United Slates tried a free-trade tariff they fell into adversity until a protective tariff came to , the relief of the people. Some people want us to let tlio protective tariff go by in order to make experiments again. Well, I would like to see that ex periment tried if only one or two people were to suffer, but it is a pretty hard thing to take the dreadful and terrible clianco of the prostration of the business Industries of the country when there are sixty-four million mouths to be fed. [Applause.] When the tariff of 1846 was enacted there were only twenty millions of people in this country. We now have sixty-four millions. Four years after the tariff was enacted, ac cuiuiiig to the census of the United States we only had seven thousand millions of property. We now have sixty-four millions of people and sixty thousand millions of property. • [Applause] A NEW ERA. "Gentlemen, you cannot sport with that number of people and with that mass of property. : We cannot experiment at . this time and . hazard ' vast interests when we could not put the country where . It itauUs to-day for ton peniteutial years thereafter. [Applause.] Mr. Schurz condemns tne effort of Congress to secure reciprocity of trade with certain countries, .Free-traders havo always been telling us that if we would adopt their theory we would have a new era in this country. On that form of statement I will not differ with them. [Laughter.] I think we should have n new era. Congress at its last session concluded to adopt a new policy. They lioked at South America and they found wo were receiving from those people vast imports and exporting little to them. The question was shall we repeal the duty on sugar and give that to South Amer ica in addition to coffee ana hides an« dye woods and rubber and other thins* from South America, and shall we ask these men if we give you our markets for a pound to let us enter their markets for a lew shilling* [Applause.] Oh, no, Mr. Scinirz says," Mat won* do at all. You must resort to f roe trade. -.-'■■; > :.■ : i . -■ A QUESTION FOE FREE Tit ADEIIS. " I would like to ask Mr. Schurz before this Ohio audience how free trade is going to let us into their markets with our products. We have been giving Brazil a market for their nearly sixty millions of, products, and they were taking lrom us 1 seven or eight or nine million*. Sow suppose we declare ab solute free trade. How would that help us with Brazil? They have not been buying thing and they do not let anything in free. Thirty-six million dollar*' worth of coffee, fourteen to sixteen millions' worth of rubber, several millions' worth of hides, ana a great many dye stuffs and other wood of that kind, all coining into the United Si»tes without a shilling of duty. . .But we went to send down there some lumber, some corn and wheat, products of the West as well as of the East, and are not satisfied as things were going. [Laughter.] Well, we w-nt on and awakened them to the necessities of the situation, and we found that they feel just as we (in. That we two nations dealing with each other must deal as two men do with each, other, fairly, honestly, liberally; so that the advantage shall not always be on the side of one man or the one nation. [ [Ap plause] Well, that was reciprocity. Jlt is. not a very complex problem. Mr. Schurz. rather intimates it as a strange way of get ting at things. MYSTERIOUS RECIPROCITY, " now strangely mysterious reciprocity is; it is just as mysterious as when a Staiko County farmer brings a hundred bushels of wheat to Canton, gets his money for it, buys supplies for his family and goes back home.. That is the mysterious process and the very difficult one to understand, ami jet 1 am sure that lirnzil ana all of the South Ameri can States understood it the moment it was uirutioncd. I believe we will make a vary favoi able arrangement to trade with South America. "Take a country like Venezuela, of large area but small population, not morn [ than two aud a hall to three millions. They bring us SlO.OOO.OOt) worth or ; products, but how much of that is taxed do you suppose at the Custom-house? OnIySMXH); every cent of that except $8000 escaped taxation. We send them a good many tliinus, but we do not send them one shilling's worth that is not taxed by them. That is not fair. They admit it is not lair, and they are phwl and willing to right the matter and place us on recipiucalgruund that will tie the road to prosperity ol this country and the road to prosperity of the other, because trade that is so one-sided as that cannot be continued forever. A CI'ANGE OF OPINION. "When reciprocity was first suggested, free traders all, or nearly all, approval. At that lime they thought it womd divide l*T;»tec lionists in Congress, and they urced it very earnestly as lens its they thought there would be some division— a-> lons as they con ceived it was a imidiug line that might ob struct proteituniiis. But just us soon as the fiei--traders found that reciprocity cuuld not be used to divide the Hepubliia!i party they were all against it [cheers], every one of llieui ; and now they are repudiating it and telling you what a humbug it is, and how little va'iiw there is iv it, and how small a result there will be to the people of this country from it. It is nut wise for free traders to proclaim its failure at present. We arc given a year in which to try it.' 'Let us wait the year and tee what can be done. [Cheers.] "! "I am not here to boast of It. lam here to condemn the course of the free-traders, who, us long as it promises to divi-<>. •<" lectimiists wero iv 1 iv;r of it, but <>Ik>s', set against it ihe moment they 'find protec tionists will not divide. AN APPEAL FOR m'KIXLEY. "Your duly, gentlemen, if 1 may surest it. is to elect the protectionist to Congress [Cheers and cries of "Wo will."]. Tiiat is jour interest; that is the interest of every district to the country, and I appeal to this district bc'Miiso of the interest at your door sill and i ; 1 1 -.■;••. I appeal to every man in Stnrke County and in the three other conn ties that make up tula district. But you have ii special reason. This is a very great distinction to any man, a distinction to the district represented, and a distinction to the man him3elf to lie. placed at the head nf the Committee of Ways and Means and to lead the House of Representatives. That is where Thaddaut Stevens stood during the last eight years of bis life; that is where that great citizen nf Ohio, lately deceased, General Robert C. Schenck. stood for six years, and that is where William .McKinley stands now ; and I appeal both to your in terest and your pride to send him back a sain that he may be, useful, not merely to this district, not to his State alone, but to th? people 01 the United Slates." [Cheers.] At one time duriim the speech the people in the gallery, alarmed by a cracking sound, began to make for the exit, and there was no iiiy a punic. Mr. Hlainii and Minister I'hrlps, however, succeeded in reassuring them, aud all returned to their seats. Mr. Blaise, after his address, went to a meeting at the Academy 01 .Music and spoke very briefly. The party left this evening for Chicago. BKSATOJI SHERMAN AT PITTBBUKG. PrrrsßUßQ, Oct. Four thousand people gathered in the City Hall to-n ! to listen to an address by Senator John Sher man on the issues of tin; campaign. in the comae of his speech Senator Sherman said: '•There can really be but two Brent parties. Then- are sometimes people who think they are a little heller than their neighbors, who go 11' to roost by themselves on some side issue and call themselves a third party. I nave bad more experience in political life than seme of my hearers, and 1 never saw any good come out of a third party yet. We are all Republicans or all Demociats in the General meaning of the term, because we are all iv favor of a form of government in which all powers rest with tin) people. Therefore, these names do not signify anything, We imi-t judge or parties precisely as wo would judge of men. Of the two parties that now stand before the people of the country, one is like heaven and the other like hudes." [Laughter and cheers.] After reviewing the stormy scenes in the early part of the past session, and the. im portant measures passed after the rules had been adopted, and presenting a strong plea for soldiers, Senator Sherman took up the Me it in ley bill — a measure, be said, which makes free a greater amount of product of foreign countries in our own country than any tariff bill of ancient or modern times. Referring to an assertion made by some Democratic orators, who say that we cannot produce sugar, the Senator said: "I am as positive as 1 am of my existence to-day that within ten years from this lime we will produce every pound of sugar that is usod in this country. We have put a duty on tin plato equal to, and a little more, than the duty on sheet iron, and we will manufacture in this country within five, years of this time ;)CO, --000 tons of plate tin, and we will make the tin cup so cheap that nobody will growl but the Democrats." - AN EMBLEM OF STRENGTH. In conclusion the Senator said: "In 1800, in good old Democratic times, our currency was the meanest ever devised by man, and would not pass from one part of the country to another. Now our money travels all ever the world. Then wo wore a third-class power, jeered and laughed at, and when the war commenced— the last legacy of a Demo cratic administration— kings and emperors were watching for the decay and fulling to pieces of this great republic - The Govern ment was tottering to its foundations. The eyes of all European countries wero watch ing the last days of tin- greet republic. Now, thank God.— thank the Union soldiers thank tlia American people — this country of ours has risen far above and beyond all fears of this kind; and now peoples of all these empires and kingdoms are looking eagerly and anxiously for a good time com ing, when they can copy ■ our Institutions and enjoy republics as we do in this coun try.

Reasons Assigned (or the Decreased De mand From Foreign Markets. Members ol the Iron and Steel Institute in Washington — Visit to Departments aud Reception at tiie White House. Special to Tuk Mobnixo Cam. New York, Oct. 25.— Various opinions are cxpre ? sed editorially concerning tho slump in the price of silver. The Mail and Express says : We have no fear of tlie silver problem. It will work itself out after a fair trial and no one can complain that the Treasury is not allowing that. The World says: There has been a steady selling of silver bullion during the last low days, and the geueral understanding has been that silver speculators were unloading. Speculators have sustained heavy losses. It is estimated that the accumulated bullion In New lork alone amounts to 10,000,000 ounces. Most of the silver was iiccumulaled by pools which wen- made up with the expectation that silver would go to tSSLSS; thus putting it on a par with gold. The average cost was. $1 U]A, and the ac uii!u!.ition in New York shows, at present in ice, a loss of 5700,000 to holders, in addition to the expense for stor age ami interest on the money Invested. The Evening Sun says: Other countries have shown a disposition to leave silver alone and let us light the battle unaided. The demand from India has lessened for a number of reasons. The rise In value has reduceJ the amount necessary for the trans action, of business, one rupee now doing more work as a medium of exchange than it did when silver was cheiper. The crops of India are not targe this season, the Indigo crop especially having suffered. This lessens the amount needed to be sect to India in ex change for commodities purchased. A SDecial correspondent of tho Mail and Express from St. Petersburg says that our silver law has raised the price of silver ill the Czar's dominions, but the Kus«ian silver mines are not in a position to take the pres ent advantage of the situation. Must of the mines belong to the Imperial Cabinet and to private individuals. The State possesses only one small plant. Tho Government has ordered that the silver and lead mines in the Yakoutsktfiirilory be worked. The Im perial Cabinet possesses tho most consider able silver mines, those of Nertchinsk and of Altai. These last were supposed in the second half of tbo last century to be rid), but since then circumstances have changed. The best mines are very far from coal pits, and in order to render them productive it would bo neee.s«ary to build railways and to interest private capital, inasmuch as it con cerns a tetritory as big as France. The Polish silver mines are nearly exhausted. — ■ » lUOX AM) BTJBKtj TVOItKEUS. Members of the Inttiinte Spend a Pleasant Cay in /Wathioeton.

There were also many ladie- aiming the visitors, all wearing the Markham rose and lull of enthusiasm for the suf-ep-is of the gallant son of Pasadena, whom ihey knew as their representative in Congress. The streets were literally crowded with a. multitude of both sexes and the town wore a holiday appearance, while Macs lluated in all directions. In the afternoon the opera house was jammed and Colonel Markham was given a splendid ovation, lie was roundly cheered as he en tered, and hi* sp«ech called forth long and loud applause.
