The Hartford Times boasts that the

II further admits that "tnreau tnat
used to cost the needle.woman four
ceats spool, now costs ten-the same
as the imported English thread of J.
Il p. Coats One reason why Coats
thread works more smoothly on the
machine and is better liked than ours,
is in the fact that the greater damp
ness of the English climate is more
favorable than our dry air to spinning
cotton. Again, the highly electric
condition Of the atmosphere Of the
western world is probably unfavorable
to the necessary compactness and
smoothness sought for IN the fabrica-
ton of this article, the strands and
fibrts being more inclined to rough up
and fly OFF,"
Here is a manufacture which from
physical causes cannot be brought TO
perfection in this countryj but which
by enormous protection, has been
made to pay three hundred per cent.
profit. Specific dd udlorcw dutioshave
been piled upon each otherto keep out
the better goods mado in climates
adapted to this delicate work. The
tariff on imported thread has been
raised until il is equal to seventy per
cent in gold, on the cost. The tax on
domestic is six per cent in currency,
and all this difference is for the ios.
tering Of such enterprises as this,
Whereby single company has within
the past three years accumulated a
million of dollars, besides building n
very costly factory. Who pays for il
The poor neodle-women of the United

would now, while gold is lao, bo sold

This does not show thcwhole 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
six-cord goods but here, as the man
ufaoturers are protected, the sewing
women must pay as much for the one
as for the other.
The revenue of the country has
also suffered to pileup this three hun
dred per cent of profits. Spool cotton
used TO pay an annual revenue Of halt
q million in gold in the Treasury; in
the last fiscal year it paid a tride over
three hundred thousand dollars.
Such protection as this robs the
revenue and robs the poor, but it pays
the lucky few three hundred per cent.

II can remember one point in which
am very sure the primer OF 1920 had
a very great advantage over you OF these

Not that there was plenty of money in
those days-there was but little OF it for
a time. | can remember when there
were but two banks in the State. Mon
ey was not plenty. Now and then we
got he Id of pistareen, ninepence. or
four pence, and half penny. Bus can
tell you what they did get literally;
they got two cords of wood, four bush

butter, for years subscription lean

could they have them now. Why he
had Co feed them to the hogs. Often he
had from six 10 twelvH barrels ot cider
at time enough wheao, rye and corn
to fill large gran.ry; a yard filled
with eigit-feet wood, potatoes, and veg
