The above Is an authentic statement in reference
to two of the Mills OF one Of our lar-est und NEST
prosperous Lowell manufacturers. These Mi.s
reru selected because there had been no chang"
either in the cloth or the speed, DUNG the Whole
term, and the comparison could, therefore, he "
stituted the more exactly but tney furnish lar
sample of the whole establishment. You viii ob-
serve that the wages Of both male and female oIe-
ratyes are higher, at this moment, than they nave
been at any time Tor FIVE years. There was ie-
6uctiou of wages during the extreme depression oil
1912, which exhibits itself in The average OF Jul e,
1913 But since the Tariff Of 1912 was taniy in
operation, wages have been ST adily rising, uHd

This table, like the other, tells its story. It
tells more. It tells the whole story of the Tariff u
1912, 60 far as wages are concerned.
The triends of the Tariff need not DO afraid to
speak with their enemies ia the gate. The more
iis operation IL stated the more beneficial 1t will
appear.
fts influence upon the public credit and the Ma
tional Revenues has justified il to the whole coun-
try as q measure of Flnance. Its influence upon
wages will commend it snli more to the support OF

DEATH FROM The DlrE OF RArTLgssAKE.-
considerable excitement has existed in our village
during the past weak in consequence Of the dee "A

from the bite of Il ratllesnake. The facts rs we
have been enabled 10 gather them, arc these: DE-.

to miugle with perfect unconcern, and handle aid
pot with much freedom would the more eau
iious person kitten. We are tod that the mos,
of the rat,iesnakes had been deprived of their poi
sonous fangs. THIS may he so, or it may nor. The
Doctor hal 80 much CONFIDENCE in certain preven-
tives he had prepared against their bites, that
believe he paid ilIis regard TO this important point,
as will be- seen by what follows. About a month
since person caught 10 OF these dreadful rep
tiles, which he brought 10 t1is place, aud sold 10
DR. Stadln, which were plsced, in their Wild anu
native state with those he had befre colec ed one
of which was monster in size. On the l2,li ms.
we believe, the DIR. accompanied by several rsr-
sons entered the room In which these houibs
creatures were confined. and as usual, CONNER ced

poae, OF demonstrating them; aud IN attempting 10

ways BEEN considered Certain death.
We under.rand that the Doctor had nocu'atcd
himself and family, with the poison contsioed IN the

would prevent fatal results upg IRON their bite.
But we hope that this melancholy aiihr will ad
