'Die report rods as follows: "Tbo rato ot duty or tax on Imported goods subject to duty Is as low ss 0 per cent on some and higher than 80 per cent on others. The average rata for tho fiscal year 1883 a llttin exceeded 47 per cent, or 8 17 of tax on 3100 worth ot Imported goods. This Is tho uJghcst iate paid In any year since 1803, and above the kvcrneo rata of tno war period from 1863 to ieus." After quotations from messages of Presi dents Arthur and Cleveland setting- forth the necessity for tariff revision, the report continues: "Tho Treasury receipts for the fiscal jeir 1893 were 833,003,708. Tho Increased receipts from customs and Inter nal taxes, tlio principal sources of revenue for tho months of the fiscal year of 1881 already past, over tho re ceipts of tho samo months ot last year Jus tify the estlmato tbat the receipts for the present fiscal jear will exceed $333,000,000.

New YottK, April I f-Jay Oonld, spwk Ing yesterday In regard to tho strike In the, Southwest and the warnings sent out to the traveling public by the KnlgliU of La bor that tho ptcsent employes ot tho Mis souri Pacific wero not competent men, said that tho charge was without foundation; that the road was In a superior condition, laid with steel rails and ballasted with stone, with bridges mostly of Iron and steel and with rolling stock In excellent condi tion, only eight per cent, ot Its locomotives and about tlirco and a half percent of Its can nwoltlng repairs. As to Hie men em ployed, of tho 11,300 on tho pay rolls, only 3,700 wero Knights of labor, whoso strlko during Its pending forced Idleness upon the other?.

Hot, seriously, tho dispatch Is extremely silly. I don't own a dollar's worth of stock In tho Louis ville & Nashville and havo absolutely no control over the roaiL I never knew that tho obnoxious advertisement had been sent out" "What do you think ot Jfr. Powdcrly's statement, as reported In this morning's papers, that a recourse to arbitration would bring the strike to a speedy closer' "Tho question of arbitration," answered Gould, "has two sides. When Sir. l'ow derly and I were talking these matters over, I asked him whether he would consent to a scheme of arbitration which should Includn our grievances against tho strikers as well as tho grievances ot the strikers against us. and whether no wonld guarantee the pay- mentor an award in caso wa snouid obtain one against tho order. This proposition did not meet with favor In air. ruwderiy's ryes, and bo raid tho rules ot tho order pan Idcd no methods for tho collection ot money for such purposes. Mr. Hopkins was present at this Inter view and heard what I am .going to tell you. In speaking ot district assembly 101, Mr. Powderly said: "Why, they aro outlaws. They are one ot tlio worst act of men 1 oversaw. When I was out there among them I was really afraid tor my life. They h.'.o broken tbe laws oi tho order, they havu begun the strike with out authority, and to-morrow 1 Intend to Is luo a circular righting myself and placing theso men In their truo light'" Gould then said that tn response to this statement and not as a concession, he read In Ms. Powderly the notable totegram to lloxie, on tho strength ot which Powderly srdercd the strike ended, and added that It was a great surprise) to him when ho saw bv the papers tha next morning that tho Knights were claiming a victory. Gould added: "If Mr. Powderly would only stick to tho sentiments which ho ex pressed In his secret circular thero would be no tronblo about arbitration, but whilo the head of tho onler puts these labor troubles In a scnslblo light, his executive board sides with tho riotous elements linens tho strikers. The executive board first ordered tho Knights to go to work, but finding tho men wonld not cbey they turned right faco about and ordered tho strike to be continued." THE MINORITY REPORT.
