Match Mandatory,

The good old days of flint. steel and tinde
oox nave long since passed away, and lucifel
matches are as indispensable everywhere a.
ngnt ana heat To supply this universal de-
inand' the iabors of a large number of per-
sons, and The use of an immense quantity OF
pIhh stone and phosphorus are required.
"hen these matches were made by hand and
dipped, a bunch at time, they were Deces-
sariiy expensive, but the increased demand
called into operation the boundless inventive
powers of New England mechanics, and ma
ehinery has been put in operation so admira-
bly, adapted to the work that 144 punches,
containing about 100 matches each, have been
sold for thirty cents. The price is now very
much increased on account of the increase In
The cost of all the materials. the increased
rate OF wages, and the Government tax of
Sl.i4 on every gross.
The Portland Match Company commenced
operations in this city about four years ago.
Their manaiactory is between the Portland
Machine Companys Works and the Grand
Trunk Depot, on Fore street. This company
commenced In small, quiet manner, increas-
ing their business as the demand for their
matches increased, until they not only sup
Piled this State to great extent, but are
constantly filling orders from all the loyal
States, and are also sending large quantity
abroad.
When in full operation this Company gives
employment to about 1875 persons In getting
out and saving the spints,-dipping the
matches,-packing, stamping and labelling the
packages, getting them ready for market, and
Ia making paper boxes for a new kind Of
matches they are getting up, which have none
Of the smell OF birthstone about them. The
cards or splints as they are called are prepared
for dipping at their mill at welchville, where
some ten or twelve men are employed in saw
ing them out. They also have saving done
at Damariscotta and other places They are
about to enlarge their establishment by build
ing on the north side some forty feet, which
will give more room for dipping and packing.
The stamps that are 10 be put on to every
bunch Of matches viii increase the value Of q
case Of the usual size from $40 to 500, there
by acquiring a much larger investment to
carry on the same business. This Company
will pay an internal revenue tax amounting TO
$4,000 a year.
The Portland Match Company have availed
themselves Of all the Improvements in ma
chinery and In the preparation Of the articles
used, and have machinery to facilitate pack
ing that is not TO be found in any other manu-
factory, SO that they can compete with the
world In the quality of the matches manufac-
tured. 1t is estimated that the match bust
ness In the loyal States win pay revenue to
the Government Of about three million and a
half dollars year, without any one feeling
the weight OF the burden.
