An adjourned treellnjref the Beard of Trade en Tuesday evening, being In con tinuation of the regular meeting of March 13 wben only ten vrere present, waa fairly attended. After the reading of a favorable report by the treasurer the reports of the several com mittees were called for find Mr. Housten, of the committee en railroads and trans portation, stated that hla committee had reaebed the conclusion that railroad build Ing was a big Jeb. 11 e would undertake te start a bank with better assurance of suc cess. There are new three railroad pro jects under consideration the Safe Harber read, tbe New Helland read and the Qaarrjvllle and Kings Bridge read. Fer this cemmitter, and the committee en commerce and manufactures, he atated that If they were te de any geed they would have te travel, and when the time came the treasurer should be provided with funds for this purpose, either from the regular fees or otherwise. Mr. G. N. Reynolds, chairman of the committee en statistics, read the following report : RRrOIlT OP COMMITTER OS STATISTICS Mr. Tretidcnt dnd Gentlemen of the Heard of Trade. ' Your commltlce en statistics, te whom was referred tbe resolution instructing us te examine into the water rates charged by Lancaster and its neighboring cities, beg leave te make the following report : We have corresponded with the proper authorities etquitua number of cities, some of whom have replied and ethers net as yet. Oaoef our members basvlslted the water departments of Philadelphia and Harris burg nnd learned there wnat he could. In Harrisburg the .clerk of the finance com mittee of city councils, which committee has also entlre charge et the water denart- ment, very kindly opened his books and gave all the information in hla power. Through friends in Heading and Allen town like information was gained from the committees of these cities. In most of these cities from which we have gained Information it is the cuBtem, as in our Lancaster water committee of councils, when deciding tbe water tax or rent te be paid by the large manufactories, such us large Jren mills, furnace?, etc, which use very large quantities of water, te make a special rate baned upeu the quantity used, the larger the consumption tne lower the rate per gallon or cuble loot These ppeelal rates are net printed in thelr regular seu6dules of rater, and in many cases are net made known te the general outside public. This custom of giving special rate, te be fixed by the water committees, te large manufactories is but right. Balng whole tale consumers the city can well aHerd te Bell water te them at lower, or wholesale rates, and, btsldea all this, as the money these large works pay out In wages gives support directly and indirectly te se many people It thus enables the city te supply and sell lis water te many private dwell lngp, beardiug heusm and stores which otherwise would, be vacant Tne city of Baltimore has a standing eiler te make a contract with any new manufacturer who will locate his works in that city or remeve them tbere from some ether city, te supply him with all the water he will want for tils works, tree from all charge , for a term of years. This bonus eiler Is very liberal for, al though that city obtains Its water Nupply by gravity, It has spent an immense sum te de it nnd has ita yearly Interest te meet en lta very large issue of water boedp. The nee mi pauy lug comparative table will give souieldeaof hew the cities (rem which we have obtalned full Information dlirar in their ached ttle rates, but as the schedules dllTdr somewhat In thelr arrangement of ratea it may be that wben the bills are made out for the private dwelling house censumer Miore may net be se mucn dltler dltler enee in total water rent paid as appears called for by the schedule rates. There appeara te be an important dltler dltler dltler eronce againat our own city in the water rates charged for the stearu englnea of the smaller uidus'ricp. We allude te steam engines of leas tban 10 horse power, the water rate per herse power upon such on en tinea being higher in Lancaster than in Hirrlsburg, Keadlugand Allentown. Upen engines of 100 horse pewer, the rate la lower with us than in the three cities named, while we are lower upon all engines of ever five berae power than the cltkH of Phila delphia and Wilmington. TVs learned that it la the custom with us te net rate the larger enclnes at their lull borBe pewer, and from the total water ratea paid by very large cinsumers In Harris burg, we infer tbat city tinea net either. A llke rule probably prevails in ether eities, se that we cannot tell positively from the printed scbedule rates what is the real rate paid upon large engine?. If the Btnaller englnes of under 40 horse power are rated at their full horsepower we would recommend that our city reduce its rates upon them te as Iowa rate as is charged by ether cities et like rank with eurB ; it being a matter of Importance te the small and often struggling industries. Since writing the above we learn tbat It is the custom in our city tochargeall englnes of from one te ilve herse power fill, which Is higher than la cbarged by the six ether cltlosiretn which we have rates, but tbat upon engines of mero than five herse power It is tbe custom in our city te net rate them at their full herse power ; for in in fctacce, one planing mill engine which is 40 hoi 89 pewtr, is only rated at 20 horse power. We de net jet knew whether ether cities have the same custom or net. Oar nearest neighbor Yerk 'vblcb, al though a very anclent nia'den, is new covered with blushes evor its new dignity of being at last a city, inlerm us that their rolling mill does no; obtain Its water Bup ply from tlie city work?, taking it from a small stream upon Kb own land. Aa te tbe otber lacterles In Yerk which are supplied by the city they are in each case giren a special rate which Is net based upon auy specified horse power. Fer this reason we canuet tell what water rate is charged te manufacturers lu Yerk, which la new a thoroughly nllvp, wlde awake little clty,be lleving meat fully in lehteiiug Ita own In dustries. In Harrisburg, which has grown se large and prosperous by its mauy and verv large and various Iren industries, we found the same dispute ever the water rate quoatlen, which was be lately disturbing us, some members of thelr city councils claiming that these large works were net paying enough aud the manufacturers claiming that tney were already paying tee much. As the prosperity of ilarnsuurg all depends upon the prosperity of ita manufactories, tbe majority of their city councils very wlnely decline tn make any chacge in the spectal rates already given. We are very glad te be able te report that the diliareuce of opinion which was exist ing between our water r-otmnittce and our larger manufacturers has within the past fortnight ceased te exist, and tbelr water rate is no longer In dispute, the water com mittee very widely deciding te iidiiere te their old policy et being llbural te such Im portant Industrie. Frem what we can find out as te the special ratea made in like cases in ether cities of llke rank, our rnanufac uiera no bare no reason te cemplalr. As your committee were dlvlded in opinion as te who bar the resolution under which we were acting called for au Inves tigation and report upsn tbe rates charged In the varlsus cities upeu water mixed " with an infusion of hop, birley, corn or rye, we make ue report upeu mis branch of thesutjec' In conclusion, whlle reminding (he beard that it is mueh easier te rise in a meeting and ask a question tbau it la for busy men te gather together the Informa tion with which te answer it, we can only regret tbat we cinnet at the present time make a report mero full Red thorough by in cluding mera eltlM or mera Information m te what all the apedal ratea are.

S. Feltr, whom he Introduced. TUB ESSAY THAT WAS READ. He. Preiidentand Qcntltmenef the Searit of Trade: I have been asked te write en the news paper In ita relation te general business. An aneient pieverb,sligbtly altered, might be an appropriate quotation here, " what is everybody's business is tbe newspaper's buslnesr." The newspaper Is te general busi ness what the lookout en the oresa-treea la te the ahip below him, or, if that compari son appeara lelty, it may be aald tbat the newspaper resembles the crew perched en the fence pest, creaking his observations en the general economy et the universe, while bis fellows are hard at work getting fat In the ccmfield. The press la te business what tbe press et business prevents tbe business man from be'.ng, a aentlnel. The newspaper, aa the sen tinel of business, wears tbe uniform of business in tbe shape et advertisements, and soma paper, like seme soldiers, con sist cbietly et uniform. The sentinel newspaper has a hard time. It must stick te lta pest and stand up for Its fellow-eitlzenB in alt kinds et weather ; ler tbe buslne a reading pubile la a veracious censumer of commercial literature, aud must be fed, in geed tlmea or bad, with cheerful expositions of tbe natural and Inevitable prosperity et tbe locality. The sentinel must also keep a wary eye for enemies te legitimate business within tbe camp as well as without. Ne one thinks et questioning bis repert of prosperity, bnt should be have te chronicle mlslortune let him guard bis pen. H peaking both aa a sentinel and a soldier, as a crew of tbe field and fence pest, I pro pose te fill In the remainder of my allotted time with selected minutes, taken In memory, cf my ownrellectionsjat meetings of the Beard of Trade. Disraeli has said tbat there is no education like adversity. Would It net be well te apply our educa tion by tbla method en tbe line or ita greatest development ? Fer example : we have the wreck or a belt works standing idle. Net far away ether branches of the belt businees are thriving, but these build ings are also well suited for ether Indus trlep. Other examples et Idle real estate well adapted for various manufacturing purposes will cecur te every member. Pioneers et our early days were driven from many a well-cbeaen homestead Bite by the discovery among the undergrowth of some wreck et a former effort. A human Bkeleten in the long grass near tbe cuarred legs of a fallen cabin, and traces et privation starvation, or savage massacre. Hew can we of Lancaster expect manu facturers te settle here, with tbe skeletons of dead Industries around us In plain view T Again, there are small and struggling in dustries among us capable of lndetlolte ex pansion, and it our surplus energy and cap ital were applied boldly, but with ute. ttnn. tn IIih riAVAtnnmnnt (if thP-4 Laytw prises, managed by men we kn ies! than A tbat we can grasp, and for a ' levers will ba ean see and count upon, edr Bacrlflce will be net boom in Western UtuUeudralya.'a surely gather a healthy and steady Impetus, and will net collapse in WeBtern Btyle. Thriving small luduitnes precede great establishments as the potite bugs precede tbe Paris groeti factories In a direct way we can de very little te bring great industries bore. Ve .have eUered land and capital, but ether cities can be as liberal, and alter all tbe main Induce ments must be our natural advantages as a home for skilled male labor. We can say tbat the great mills established here wilt make tbe surplus female labor of eery worklegman's family win hotter wages than In many ether cities, tbat our markets, in abundance, quality and cheapness, are un surpassed tu the civilized world ; tbat rents are low, and newly built medern beuses abundant ilnttbert, that a better home for tbe werklnuman can net be found, and true Amerlcans are all worklngmen. This much we can say, what can we de ? Mauufasiurera nfted make tbe shipping facilities of a point a prime consideration in locating a plant, and this la particularly trneei industries employ lug mate labor, where the raw material and product are likely te be heavy, requiring ler their handling heavy relent bills as well as weighty piy rellp. Our shipping facilities are excellent, but capable of improvement. Railroad building takes a great deal of money and olten keeps a great deal of it. It Is a businesa tbat Is usually left in tbe bauds of railroad men, but we can en courage tbeae professionals te operate for our advantage by doing all In our power te make our city the true centre of all tbe oeuntry round. Lancaster Is by nature on en titled 10 receive the trade of every borough and farm within easy drl re of its market places; but there Is a great aud increasing volume et trade Hawing from us, and our country trade la stilled by the tell charge levied en tbe highways te tbe town. Trill os turn the course of trade. Frequent tells make a serious Item in a farmer's total of expense, and when he considers that tbe time nd trouble et a drive te town may be aaved by shipment te Philadelphia or Baltimore it takes but a Hmall thing te turn tbe scale against us. Whether be ships direct or through tbe country storekeeper, both merchant and farmer form tbe habit of dealing with tbe fir ell city 1 and be our trade Blips from ua. Turnpikes have been and are, of great value te tbe town, but new tbe competition et railroads, tbe growth of tbe great cities, tbe Increase of wealth and luxury en all hands, demand mere free communlejtlon between the larmers and tbe townsmen. An cllert should be made te solve this question speedily, and lu solution should net be found difficult, Tbe holders of tarn, pike stocks ihettia be requested w name firm Mlllag price. It will be aald that theae men would at onee force their steak te fabulous values, but they knew that their terms must ba within reason or without ale. There la no danger tbat a Lancaster judicata et turnpike buyers will ba mil taken for a oeunotl of Napoleons et finance. When ear reads are free and our people thriving la all industries we may trust te the persuasive eloquence of tbla Beard of Trade te work upon the railroad man te work his wonders, and fling his double trands of steel te draw te ua the trade that la rightly ours. When Lancaster has mere direct connec tion with Baltimore and the awakening Houth : when creaslng railroad make an eddy here in tbe streams of commeree from the mountains and tbe eeeoeast, from the harvest fields and forests ; when the man who works up raw materials finds here the cheapest and most healthy home then will great Industries come te us without our asking and the strength of our county In agriculture be balanced by the power of the town In trade, Mr. Buand and Mr. High were then called upon te tell "hew te make a new Industry success I u I." Mr. High read a carefully prepared answer : HOW TO MAKE NEW ntlSINKSS SUCrESSFUI. This la a question which la dlfllcult te answer te a eertalnty. There are ae many circumstances that may add te or Interfere with the success of any buslneaa enterprise, that what we have te aay may be mere speculation. We may theorize, but prac tical demonstration atone will solve tbe queatien. Theae hlndrancea and advan tages are purely local. An enterprise that wiil, with proper management, succeed in one location, may utterly fail In another locality, under the same management. There are certain underlying principles, however, which are necessary te the success of any businesa enterprise. These are loca tion, tbe character et tbe enterprise, capital, qualification, energy, eoenomy, reputation. Location, then, la ene of tbe requisite, te a successful prosecution et any bustueas enterprise. Closely allied te it, la the character of the enterprise. Indeed they are inseparable. Lancaster would be, and Is a geed centre ler a number 01 manufac turing Industries. Our railroad communi cations are ample. Hltuated in one of the riehest asricultural dlatrlets In the United Slates, we can furnish the necessarlea of life, in quality and price, equally as cheap If net cheaper as any ether place. Near enough te the. great coal fields for fuel and te tbe iron industrlea for either the raw or manufactured article, In lta crude state, unemployed labor In sufficient quantity ; Indeed, we seem te laek in noth ing tbat would add te tbe success of any enterprise. Why, then, de we net have them T And why have ae many failed at first, In attempting te gain a foothold here? ;ir you will gather tbe facts, and atudytbe history of the enterprises that have failed, (at least first), Jyeu will find that eorne et the requisites named were wanting. With all tne advantages Lan caster has. there are aeme enterprises, en account of the nen-adaptablilty of tbe place, that would most certainly fall here. A glass or crockery Industry, It lecated bore, would be at a disadvantage when compared te Trenten. Plttsburir. Wheeling, East Liverpool, Ac Fuel, labor and even transportation are largely In favor et tbe latter. Natural gas has proved ae Impor tant a factor as an element of fuel In manu facturing interest! net simply aa a matter of eoenomy, but en account of lta supe riority tbat It will In all probability, In tbe near luture, centralize these industries, and ail places net having these advantages will net be able te compete Net only will in dustries centre at these luirertant points, but labor will centralize where the oppor tunity la tbe greatest for Its employment, especially skilled labor. Laber, and tbe Industries employing it, will both be benefitted, the former having tne opportunity of aeleetlng bis work and place, and the latter is enabled te procure the best skill, and tbereby can compete with hla competitor In placing hla product upon the market lu as marketable condi tion. An Isolated plant, therefore, even though net located in an isolated place, will be under great disadvantage. A new business et this character, therefore, would net suc suc eeed In LanaZster, though it Is net an iso lated plic?. Second, as te capital. Ne business enter prise can tucceed witbeut capital, and that aulllclent capital ; net a surplus. Surplus has a tendeucy te make men careless, dis qualify them for a successful businesa life, aud In many cases prove ruinous te their buemess and themselves. Toe many per. aena have never learned the value of a dollar, nor what it cost te earn a dollar, and an abundance of capital placed lu their hands often threwa their brain from Its equilibrium, and the result la a failure. The capital should be;(atnple se aa te take advantage of all dlsoeunts, but net ae ample tbat collections would be neglected and goeda sold en tee long credits. Neither should it be ae large that an indi vidual or corporate enterprise can carry a large number of trading accounts en ita ledger. This ia one 01 tbe curses of the mercantile life. Somebody must pay for these longcredlts ; ask yourselves tbe ques tion who it is ? 1 would rather Insure tbe success of an individual enterprlse with a part borrowed capital than with a large bank account te tbe credit of tbe individual who enters upon a new enterprise. It will compel a man te push his business instead of it pushing him. An obligation te reeet, whleh will either advance or decrease his credit In tbe merchant world, will be an Iccentlve te greater energy and may de velop a man into a merchant prince. The character cf the buslnesB aud the lo cation being favorable, and capital being ample, will net lnsure of themselves suc cess. These are Indispensable requisites ; but, unless these are accompanied by the nccesf ary qualification, failure will be writ ten ever the enterprise. Q-iUltiaatien Is rssentlal te the success of auy business en-'-erlse. ntvinet mean Intellectual culture, which, however, I would net disparage ; in fact, 1 would have every one enjoy intellectual culture, if it were possible But I mean by the term that any pemn who entirslnte any business entorprlse should have a thor ough, practical knowlediteof that in which he engaeva. In ether words, he should be master et tbe altuatien. Net thathe should attend te all the details, but he should knew whether they are attended te or nor. Many a business enterprlse baa been wrecked for want of practicil knowledge, and ethers have been dragged down with tbem. This applies particularly te corpora tions. Ne corporation can succee'l unless it Is managed by skilful, practical mer. Corporations cannot atlerd teexperltnent. Experiments frequently eat up the capital. Tne stock holders in such corporation will learn te their serrcw, wben tee late, that they bave cducatnd their superintendents aud managtra t.t tee oxpensUo schools Their doers ate closed and teme ene olse reaps their harvest. flavin?, then, tbe cbaraoter of buHiness, and locution te correspond, ample capital, qualification necessary te prosecute tbe bus inesa, we are ready for the enterprise with a few mere exceptions. One cf these ia energy. Ne eutorprhe will ever succeed, be it individual or corporate, unless energy and slngieness of purpose control these who direct It. The day for placing your mer chandise upon your shelve an 1 your mar ufactured artle ea in your waieroemg and te Bay te tbe trade, "'luere It It; buy It if you want It, or leave It alone," has gene by. Nothing but indomitable energy, and tbat directed in the right channel, can make any enterprlse successful. Select your buslnesn, cheese the hst location the, world can glve you. Fill your stere with tbe choicest goods tbe market can allerd, place thousands te your credit In bank, and then bit down nnd fold your band', and wait until your customers come and buy your wares, and you will Btarve, It takua energy te-dBy te Hucceed, and tbat net a divided energy. lama great believer tu the prlnclple that controlled the great apoatle te the Uentlles, ''This one thing I de: I press toward the' mark." There are but few Jehn Wanamakcrc ; tbere are many Im itators, and there are equally as many failures. The prinolple ia wrong. It is net Intended tbat one or a few mn should control the mercantile aflaira cl the world te the injury or many. Ne man can be as bucchmIuI with a divided aim aa with a sluglenens of purpose. In tbe successful establishing et a business, tbeu,a man muat adept the one Idea "This one thing 1 de," and having resolved upon that, he must bend all but energies In that direction and press toward tbe mark. Buoeeaa includes no drenea. Figureheads must step down and out. Yeu may oemblneyonronorgy, the bnsi. neaa qualifications, capital, character and location of business, and find them all favorable and yet fall. Unless you practloe economy, your capital will take unto Itself wings aud fly awav, and with it will go your enterprise. Koenomy must enter every avenue of jour enterprise ; net stinginess, but common sense economy. If the rcqulsltea we bave named had been practiced In enterprises that appealed In former daya te Lancaster capital for aid, werthlcsa stock certificates would net be thrust at you when you ask aid for worthy enter prlais. All enterprises should net be Judged by the prelllgacy of ene or mere. Lancaster haa tee long steed In its own light, or at least Lancaster eapltal has. We have enterprises In our midst that can be and will be made a success. Shew your appreciation of the riferta of theso who are bearing and have borne the bruut of the battle by helping them with your capital and thereby Induoe ethers te cemr. Our last point that we shall call attention te for the permanent success of a business enterprise la reputation. I would empha size the word permanent reputation. Many buslneaa enterprises seem te be and indeed are successful for the time being, but net having carefully hedged about their repu tation their success is tuerely transitory. 1 am well aware that a new enterprise has no reputation. Successor failure depends largely en whether it will attain ene or net. The article tbat Is manufactured by it may bave. The merchandise in which you trade may be se well known that It ap parently does net need your reputation. Dees that establish ene for you ? By no means. The arllele manufactured and tlin merchandise traded In, though of the very highest merit, cannot save an unscrupu lous management Yeu want, in fact you must havp, the confidence et the trade, and when you hnve attained it you must prove yentself worthy of It The man who expects te held the confidence of his trade by establishing the prlnclple, "Your eyes are your mar ket," will find It te vanish like the dew of a summer morning bofVre the scorching raya et a neon-day sun. Yeu may mislead and blindfold your trade for tbn tfme belntr, but retribution will conie. Yeu will be Judged at the bar of publte opinion. Kqulty will be established, and upon the lintels ever your doorposts will be written "Fall. ure Deserved Failure " Nothing will as permsnently establish an enterprise as honest business methods. Let tbe pubile by experlence learn tbat your word la as geed as your bend, Bnd you have laid tbe foundations for a super structure or a successful business ilfe that will stand long after this mortal body haa decayed. In summing up this whole matter In the successful prtaeoutlen of a new enterprise, we would say that Its nature must be adapted te tbe location. Yeu must have a aufllelent amount of capital. It must be under the supervision of skilled, practical men. They roust be energetic men of ene Idea the aucceas et their enterprise, net Bomeeiuerp. economy must no practiced, heneaty must be the controlling principle, and success will be assured. Mr. Shand was then called upon, but ex pressed regret that he had net heard that he would boexpectcd te answer the qurp qurp tlen and ae was unprepareJ. He ai-rced with Mr. High tbat tee much capital lu any business was a great evil nnd mid that square dealing and fair conduct weie essential te success. Amotien nquestlng Mr, Shand te auawer the question at the next meetlng was carried unanimously. Mr. QeUonberger rrolied the uxpurlonce of Allentown with a Bilk mill in illustra tion of the felly or attempting te establish an Industry enpleying fuuiale labor lu a town where that kind of labor Is already In great demand, Mr, Klddle agreed with these reninrks and added that It is net healthy for a busi ness community te empley tee mueh female or miner labor. We have propor tionately mere boys and girls at work than any ether town In the state, and he would rather bave a factory employing 100 men, the heads of families, tban COO women aud miners. We find men Idle and women and children at work beaiuxe there Is no work for the heads of families. I don't take exception te this, because nn doubt it ia the best tbat they cm de, but I rcsptct tbat community the most where the tnen de the work," a rrtoresKD sate taoteuv. Prealdent Wlck6rBham then lntrcduced Mr. Stlflel who propones te atert n n.ife fac tory in Lancaster. Mr. SUIIYil staled tbat he had chosen Lancaster because of Ita cen tral location both as a recelvlng and dis tributing point. This Is tbe centre et tl 0 best market for afe. Most et the fia'e manufacturers have gune We it and seme of the elder faoterles In tbe Kast have gnue out of business, ae tbat most of the mfes aeld in this part of tbe country nre brought from tbe West.
