Depression In New England

Accounts from New England repre-
sent business to be in an unusually de-
pressed condition. The demand for
nearly all kinds of manufactured goods
is diminishing, while there is an in
creasing difficulty in obtaining mar
ket for supplies on hands. Employment
is consequently becoming scarce, and a
great many mechanics are out of work,
and at the present time it is probable
that the majority of the factories in the
New England States are not working
moro than three-quarters time. The
ship-building interests are particularly
depressed, The Maine ship-yards are
nearly all idle. In Newpurypo Mass,
the ship building trade, which formerly
constitu ted the chief business of that
flourishing town, is now next to moth
ing. The few vessels that were launch
ed during the last year were built at q
loss. 1t is the same in nearly all the
formerly busy hives in New England.
The manufacturers have generally done
losing business, and sales have been
light. Mechanics earn poor wages, and
while labor and property are less pro-
ductive, the cost of living has not fall
len to corresponding degree.
This depression and stagnation are
due to q variety of causes. The nation.
al debt presses heavy upon the people.
State and local taxes make heavy de-
mands upon their pockets. There is,
j ust now, no active demand for the fab
RIGS of New England.
Furthermore the Internal Revenue
taxes upon the raw material increase the
cost of production TO rates that render
manufacturing no longer profitable.
Then, again, the repeal of the Re-
ciprocity Treaty with Canada has
operated disastrously to the New
England States. Canada exchanged
her raw produce for New England
manufactures; and the ruin of this trade
is apparently a greater misfortune to
New England than to Canada. The
prostration of the New England ship
building inserests has been chiefly caus-
ed by the loss Of the supply of cheap
lumber from the almost exhaustless for
ests across the frontier. For the resto-
ration of the shipbuilding trade, and
the general industry of New England,
prompt and judicious legislation 10
required. t-

1t was postponed until next Wednes-
day. How the matter will then be de-
termined it is difficult to say. Were we
to refer to present probabilities, we
would say that the proposed impeach-
ment will not succeed. Nevertheless,
il will receive sufficient support both
iu venom and vigor, to identify it as q
Radical party measure. For the bust.
ness disturbance consequent upon its
agitation, the Radical party will be
held responsible, and will be damaged
IN proportion to the Seriousness of that
disturbance. Impeachment will make
of its advocates frst-class Democratic
Missionaries, for whose services the
Democracy should ever be grateful.

The luminous, prevailing eloquence
