1--WE reported yesterday the sale Of the Woonas.
quetucket Print Works, erected in 1914 at an en-
pensc Of Sl75,OO0 enlarged and improved in lS4S
at an expense OF S40,OOO, and sold last week for
s 80 POO These works are well situated, well con-
structcd, and in all respects, believe, suited 10
the successful prosecution Of the business. We
know of no reason why the printing business may
not be well carried on at these works as at any
other place in the country. The loss in the manu-
featuring business and the depreciation Of manu-
featuring property within the last few years, has
been very great and unless there be some fayora-
BILE change, either in the cost Of production, or in
the price Of the manufactured article, we do not
how the business IL TO be carried on. There -
no present probability of reduction in the price of
the raw material, and the only chance Of compel
ing successfully with the English manufacturers Is
in the reduction Of the cost OF labor.
"Bad as our revenue system is in theory, II ~
still worse In practice. An honest enforcement Of
the adj valorem plan seems TO be wholly impracti-
cable in the face Of the facilities and temptations To
fraud which the very nature Of tho system invites,
and Of which 30 many foreign agents stand ready
to avail themselves. "Custom house oaths" have
been a byword for more than ono generation, and
never deserved il more than now. False invoices,
ono invoice for the eustom-housc and another Tor
the counting house, one 10 swear by and another
10 cell by, have long been matter OF course; and
this practice has almost driven the honest American
importer out Of the market, and is fast driving the
American manufacturer out OF the market also.
And this is applicable, not TO the cotton manufac-
turcrs alone, but 10 the iron manufacture, and TO
many other kinds OF business
