THE Observation-Disclosures 1916.

The New York Epening Post says that
the day after the receipt of the news Of the
new Tariff a, Boston, the large manufactur-
ers put down the price Of goods from 5 to
10 per cent, and the Lowell agents declared
that they did not fear foreign competition
under the new Tariff.
II is the laborers, and not the rich capital
lists, that should fear this competition.
At The large carpet mandatory in Thomp-
son, Conn, they have, to avoid suspendng
operations, reduced the wages oftheir hands
25 per cent, cutting off about one dollar a
week, TO enable them to compete with for
eign cheap laobor.
The Philadelphia North American states
that one of the heaviest manufacturers of
WOODEN goods at Moyamensing had stopped
his looms. Others have reduced the wages
paid hands, and others determined to dis
charge them. An iron establishment there
discharged large number of hands. Most
Of the cotton manufacturers in and about the
neigborhood OF Philadelphia, are shutting
their doors or reducing the wages Of their
workmen from 25 to so per cent.
The Vulcan Iron Works at Troy, New York
says the Tribune, have stopped work. The
company had recently erected large rolling
mill, TO employ 300 hands, at an expense oil
100000 year.
The NeD York Gazette says that owing 10
the countermand oflarge orders for wrought
nails, forty workers at that business in Alba
ny, have been thrown Out of employ.
The Globe mill at Kensington will dis
charge one or TWO hundred hands ;and new
hinge mandatory at Southwark, will soon
discontinue work.
The large rolling mill at Wilksbarre, just
completed, will not be put in operation, since
the repeal Of the Tariff of 1912, says the
Danrille Democrat.
The Delaware Republican says, that an
agent was recently sent TO Ohio to purchase
thirty thousand dollers worth of wool ;but on
the passage of the Tariff act, the order was
countermanded. flow do the FARMERS like

The effect upon the money market of M
Kay's bill, has caused several failures in Phil
adelphia. One house stopped for $780,.
900.
SFoPPAGE IN PoFTsvILLE.-The conse-
quence of this foul Legislation are not matters
of surprise, but it is already sure that most al
OF the works which were projected and be-
ing established must be laid aside at once ,ol
l as soon as they can be gotten in sucha state
as 10 render this feasible. Not only is ihi:
sure 10 happen, but large and extensive es
tablishmenis have already been closed, the
workmen discharged, and an end put TO ex
Iiensive operations. A large machine shop
which yrs being built, the walls having been
completed, will be rooted in, and all further
work on it postponed Indefinitely At Mt
time ire ,rrite a black flag IS hanging from
it's Dalls. Had the protective system been
preserved, double activity would have per
vaded il. The coal shippers, who but few
weeks since were unable 10 fill the many or
ders they were receiving, must now, the one
half of them, suspend their business, and the
rest, without profit, continue their opera
tons for the mere purpose of providing fol-
their laborers work and subsistence. AL
business will feel this; the market for produce
will be effected, and all will suffer immed
ateIy BY the general inactivity which will per
wade all things.-Miners' Journal
