a Wen Protected Business..
To the Editors of the EVeaing Post:


The Hartford Times boasts that the
Thread Works at IVilliBmantic, owned
chiefly by Hartford capitalists, are the
most extensive in the country, andsays
that their new mill, four hundred feet
long, five stories high and built of gran
ite, costly as.it is, tcrs' bttflt Of the eon1Pd-
nus PROFITS of 0DeT' three hundred per
cent. ,rifhout CiiSttnbing their capital,
which is now a million of dollars.
1t further admits that thread that
used to cost the eedlewoman four cents
a spool, now costs ten-the same as the
imported English thread of ]. d p
Coats. One reason why Coats's thread
works more smoothly on the machine,
and is better liked than ours, is in the
fact that the greater dampness of the
English climate is more favorable than
our dry air to spinning cotton. Again,
the highly electric condition of the at
mosphere of the western world Is prob
ably unfavorable to the necessary COM
pactness and smoothness sought for in
the fabrication of this article, the
strands and fibres being more inclined
to rough up and "fly or" ~ ~ -I.'l.i 90
Here is manufacture which, from
physical causes, cannot be brought to
perfection in this country but which,
by yenormous protection, has been made
to pay three hundred per cent. profit.
Specific and dd UGL0fem duties have
been piled upon each other to keep out
the better goods made in climates
adapted to this delicate work. The
tariff on imported threads has been
raised until it is equal to seventy per
cent. on the cost. The tax. on domestic
is six per cent, and all this difference
is for the fostering of such enterprises
as this, whereby single company has
within the past three years accnmula-
ted million of dollars, besides build
ing very costly factory. Who pays
for it? The poor needle-women,o of the
United States, the millions who have to
patch and darn to make their old clothes
hold out through these times of high
prices. But for the tariff the best of
threads would now, while geld is 14Q,
be sold at six cents a spool. 5,.If.
This does not show the whole extent
of the protection. In England the three
cord glazed threads, such as are made
by this company, cost much less, and
are sold at lower prices, than the best
six-cord goods; but here, as the manu-
facturers are protected, the sewing
woman must pay as much for the one
as for the other. 4-rl-+. -. .--a..-
The revenue of the country has also
suffered to pile up this three hundred
per cent. of profits. Spool cotton used
TO pay an annual revenue of half
million in gold into the treasury; now
the amount is much less. ma - .e'..s5
Such protection as this robs the reve-
nue. and robs the poor, but it pays the
lucky few three hundred per cent. 1t

j HENRY 8. FooTE has written n book
giving his observations on the rebel
hon. He draws some very hattering
portraits of \ prominent rebels. He
charges jeff. Davis with most oppres-
sive despotism. He says that Frank
Pierce and other Northern men had
promised Davis Northern support, so
that heIbelieved that he must succeed.
Davis had arranged, SO eFoote affirms,
for the aid of French soldiers, and also,
without the knowledge of his Congress,
for Polish hirelings. Benjamin he ac-
cuses of incompetency and corruption.
Northrop, the Commissary General, he
describes as repulsive, cruel, coarse,
and in the opinion of many, crazy.
Yet he was kept in Office four years.
Seldom, the Secretary ofiWar, We let
him describe in his own language:
"The career of Mr.. Seddon, as Secre-
tary of War, will long be remembered
by all who ever entered the War De-
partment, while he sat enthroned there
in, with unniingled regret and tndigna-
ton. 1t may be safely asserted that he
needful to creditable and useful per-
formance OF the duties which were now
devolVed on hima IHe3was never able
to learn even the ordinary routine of
official business, and often scornfully
declined attendance to matters of the
most urgent Importance. He was as
arrogant and insulting to those who ap-
preached him in his official sGlctlt'n, as
he was notoriously servile and fawning
to his own executive chief. He evinced,
from his very entrance into Office, an
utter disregard of all constitutional OBJ
legations; and in the exercise of the au-
thority committed ito him, he proved
himself to be the most heartless and ruff
fianly tyrant whom I ever yet saw in
the possession of official power. Though
he had always been an ardent State
rights man in profession, up to the
breaking out ofthe war, ,-itsoon- became
evident that he had never sincerely
cherished the smallest regard for the
principles embodied in the well-known
State rights creed; and he habitually
tranipiedS under foot, iiand without d
blush upon his .livfd and atabilious
yfsage, all the anciently recognized
muniments'ofS State sovereignty"
He says that Seddon sold his crop of
wheat to theL confederate government
for $40 bushel, while under the i'm
pressmentIaw he WINS forcing farmers
to give up theirs for from 81 to 50 a
bushel.. ..., s.... ,!..:..z ....azr i'.ra ilso'
