Jog establishment, The bay Stale Mills" is sit.
uaIed, under The charge of Capt. Perry, form
crIy Of the U. S. Navy, and brother of Com
modyre Perry. The Mirror says:
The Bay State Mills employ about 1900 op.
eralives, nearly an equal number of both sexes.
The males clearing about IS 80 per week, aud
the females $2,75. They work t,Osiue hours
day. The boarding house accommodations Of
these Mills are altogether the best we have ev-
er seen. They are rented by the Company,
mostly to women, al very low rates but how
they can afford to feed men at s IS per week,
and females al s % and feed them tOeiL, too,
as we are assured they do, is an insoIvable
problem 10 New York house. keeper or boar.

OF the number of millions invested ia these
mills, and the annual profit to the owners, we
had not time 10 inquire. 1t must be remember.
ed by those who rail at the lack Of Government
protection for their manufactures, that these
mills, and many Others, have been built aud
constantly run under the present much abused
tariff Of 1916. / hey are now turning Gu. i'm.
mense quantities Of carpets, cassimeres, table.
cloths, shawls, &c, &C., for which, we lake il
Tor granted, they find ready and profitable
market
In the "Shawl Room" we noticed varied and
beautiful descriptions of shawls, "manu facIur.
ed TO order," and certainly The looms of Eu.
rope could produce nothing finer, And here we
saw a recent Yankee invention, unknown in
Engand, which pleased us more Than all other
contrivances connected with The mechanical op.
erallons of The Mills. Ii consisted simply ofa
couple Of iron fingers wiIh gloves on for tpisiing
fringeS. This simple Thing performs the labor
Of Ten girls, with unerring precision and uni
formity. Another argument to prove that Yan.
kee skill can compete successfully with The
"pauper labor OF Europe" When all The Mills
now gong up are completed, including the ex.
Iensive Muslin de Laine Mills, The enlre mum.
