PROFITS OF WOODEN MANUFACTURES. We
stated short time since, that the average pro
fits of capital invested in manufactures in this
country did not exceed 5 per cent per annum
We learn from the statement of Peter II.
Schenck, appended to Mr.. Saltonstall's Repor,
on the Tariff, that the average dividends of the
Glenham Company at Fiskill, engaged in the
wooden manufacture, for the last 10 years, have
only been 2 l 2 per cent. per annum. Du.
ring 10 years of that period they made no di.
vidend at all. And yet the concerns of the
company were we'll mapaged. and the location
as good as can be found in the country. Mr..
Schenk states that protection has benefited
them, but not to the extent that was designed
in consequence of fraudulent importations.
This company paid last year TO the farmers
for wool S72,954. To ITO men, women and
children employed in the factory, s35, 300.
During these nineteen years, according 10
Mr.. Schenk, half, if not more, ofthe wooden
manufacturers in this country have become
bankrupt. But the farmers have received
their profits, which afforded them the nccessa.
ries and comforts of the numerous opera.
tives have also received their necessaries and
comforts oflife, but the owners of the factories
in the aggregate nothing.
These statements of Mr.. Schenck. cap he
corroborated by all the wooden manufacturers
in this country, and We regret therefore that a
duty of so per CT. instead of 40. was not rec.
commended by the Tariff Report upon foreign
woolens, or else aspecifc duty high enough TO
enable the manufacturers to realize at le1st
reasonable profit on his investment. For the
wool growing and wool. manufacturing interest
is beyond all comparison. the most important
interest in the country. and unless sustained by
adequate protection must involve not only the
manufacturer, but thousands Of farmers and
operatives in ruin. The whole number
sheep in the United States at the last census
was more than 100000, yielding annually
100000 lbs. of wool, and giving support TO
several hundred thousand farmers including
their families. In the wooden manufacture
there are invested Sl5,765,OOO. Hands EN-.

The N. Y. Tribune this morning gives the
affidavits of two men, duly sworn to and SUD-
scrbed, that a large number of convicts were
taken from the penitentiary at Blackwehs
Island to vote the loco ticket at the recent
charter election in that city. One OF the
witnesses testifies 10 having aided IN the arrest
and conviction of a man at the police court VINO
was thereupon sentenced to the island for SIX
months, which time would not expire till some
time after the holding of the election, but that
he saw the same man at the polls, asked
him how he got out of prison, and received the
indirect answer that ''many others were out to
vote.'' The other witness had been prisoner
on the island, and his term of sentence had
expired the evening before the day of election,
and that he saw three large barges come at
said night to the island, when 1T was announced
that a large number of persons were to be par
doned on condition Of their coming down TO
the city and voting the democratic ticket
Judges there were 20 to 30 so pardoned, some
of them having 6 months to serve-that he
personally saw about fifty of them at the polls
