As Testified to by His Superior Officer of the Treasury,
ft Called Forth a Congressional Investigation. Assistant Secretary Nettlcton Diarges Owen With Neglect of Duty, Rliamefnl Incompetence and With Trying to Secure the Payment of Fraudulent Votirhera—Owen Nullities the Allen Contraut Labor Law, Few men who have ever rome out for political t ftice have as unenviable a labor record as William D. Owen, the candidate for secretary of state on the Republican ticket. While superintondont of immigration under Harrison, an ofliee which he created for his own especial benefit while a member of oo:iIfress, he time and time again violated the law against the importation of contract labor. 13y completely si ttiim- aside this law which was passed by the Democratic congress of 1S7S ho allowed the country to be flooded with cheap labor. This was done in the interest of the tinplate gang, headed by Nicdringhuus of St. Louis, who had promised to give remunerative employment to American workmen. American workmen wore too high priced to suit them and they demanded the pauper labor of Europe. Owen was constantly in trouble with his superiors because of his insolence and refusal to obey orders. An investigation of his office was finally begun, in the course of which all of the charges that had been preferred against him were substantiated. The following letter of Him. A. B. Nettlcton, assistant secretary of the treasury under Harrison, shows that Owen’s methods of conducting his office were most objectionable: Treasury Department, Office of the Secretary, Washinoton, March 2S, ISt-j, To the Honorable Secretary of t tie Treasury: Sin—-It hits become my official duty to invite your attention to the following facts which I am able to substantiate in every particular and to ask that such action tie taken by the secretary of the treasury and by the president as those facts may seem to warrant: 1. .Mr. \V. 1). Owen is unfit and Incompetent to perform the duties of the office which he holds. 2. He is thoroughly untrustworthy in the performance of his official duties. U. He has been guilty of circulating malicious slanders against Ids superior officers. 4. His ideas of official regularity and integrity are slipshod, reckless and a source of great risk to the public funds partially in his control. o. I hand you certain papers marked Exhibit A, which show that on Keb. 22, IS',12, John It. Webber, L’uite.l States eommis sioner of immigration at the port of N'ew York, transmitted to the secretary of the treasury certain bills received in answer to advertisements for the furnishing of instruments, books, hospital clothing and druggists glassware for the use of the medical department of the immigration service at N'ew York. said letter showing that all the bids received were thus transmit ted. Said letter recommended that in each case the lowest bid be accepted and the articles purchased, such lowest bids being clearly set forth and recited with the names of the several bidders and the amount of each bid. Such lowest bids recommended to be accepted aggregated t<!28.(15. On Feb. 24. ’92, W. D. Owen as superintendent of immigration caused to lie prepared and checked with his initials, and sent to my address for signature a letter addressed to Commissioner Weber authorizing him to accept all the bids that he had received, reciting said bids in full by names and amounts, which amounts aggregated ♦<>19. • 14, or more than 150 per cent in excessof the aggregate asked for by the commissioner at New York said letter was signe t by m ■ on the strength of Superintendent Owen's check, was transmitted to Commissioner Welier and its character only discovered by me upon my arrival in New York a day or two later. Attached to exhibit A is my letter to Superintendent Owen based upon this transaction dated March 1. 1891, and declining thereafter to sign letters from his office authorizing the expenditure ot pub lie moneys unless accompanied by the original papers upon which they were based. I also hand you papers marked exhibited B, which siiow that on or about the tirst, day of .Tan. ts'9’, W D Owen joined Frank L. Earned anil other persons in a persistent attempt to put through the department and collect the money upon a false and ficticious voucher for#117.50for tin* alleged services of a person not in the employ of the government, and who to Mr. Owen’s previous knowledge had not rendered the service for which such voucher was pro sciitcd. Upt-rin ii-rule’o'. Caen's official ap proval and certificate that said services were rendered are attached to said fletir ions voucher, a certified copy wh'-reof forms a par* of exhibit. A. When said Ac icimis voucher came to my desk it was stopped will payment prevented On the liith of January, the day after it came to my attention, I called upon Mr. Owen in v. ; ita:g L.r explanation. On Jan 20 Mr Owen responded in writing, furnishing such explanation which admits the entire transaction and gives mi intimation that he did not then regard the voucher .'is still in force. The original voucher itself is in the possession of the department with Mr. Owens' approval uneanreled, which fact should be considered in connection with his subsequent statement l bat at a certain stage lie bad abandoned the attempt to get the voucher al lowed and paid, ft is left for the proper authority or tribunal to decide whether the transaction in question constitutes a criminal offense umlrr Section 5440, Kevlsed Statutes. In any case the morn! standards and fitness for the responsible .station of a bureau officer who is capable of engaging in such an attempt, and then submitting such an explanation, are left to the judgment of the secretary. Evet since W. 1) Owen assumed his office In July. 1891. I have been compelled as his superior officer to call bis attention very frequently to the blunders and irreg ularities committed in his office, and for which he was directly responsible These blunders and irregularities if permitted to go uncorrected would have brought the department into ridicule, entangled the government in annoying complications, and in certain instances as herein shown, would have resulted in the wrongful abstraction of money from the public treasury. Respectfully yours, A. B Netti.KTon, Assistant Secretary.

EFFECTS OF THE NEW TARIFF LAW ON PRICES. The* General Tendency Is Toward Lower Prices or a Better Quality of Goods For Prices Formerly Paid For Inferior Goods. [Peru (Ind.) Sentinel.] Four years ago The Sentinel laid before its readers statements of a number of our leading merchants as to the effect of the McKinley law upon the prices of merchandise and upon trade generally. That law having been repealed, ami a now tariff law enacted by the last congress to take its place, we have thought proper to interview the same merchants as to the effect of the new law on prices and upon trade in their various lines. We herewith publish the statements of 1890 and 1894, in parallel columns, and submit them to our readers without comment, leaving them to make their own deductions from the statements of the persons interviewed, all of whom are well known as leading business men of our city:

J. W. Kills, of the firm of Kills, Stiles Ar

“There has l>een an advance in ail kinds of material going into the manufac! ure of carriages and buggies. Manufactorle• in this country have ad" vanced their prices.

1894
J. W. Kills, of r.llis, Stiles & < *o., carriage manufacturers, says: “The passage of the wool schedule of the new tariff law has enabled us to give our customers a better grade of cloth in trimming for the same price they formerly paid for Lighter goods. \Ve can now give them cloth weighing 18 ounces to t he > ard for the same price we formerly had tochaige for Ifi ounce elefth; about the same for Iti ounce that 14 ounce

dnotions in cotton fabrics will also enable us to use better and heavier grades of enamel goods, buck rams, etc., without increasing the (•»»>! of finished vehicles. Free lumber will probably enable m ji n u fact ure r s of hubs* " heels and bodies to make lower prices to vehicle manufacturers, as will also reductions in paints, oils, varnishes, leads, etc., as well as iron and springs.
