Industries of Maine Assaulted.

Industries of Maine Assailed.
The new tariff bill Matched in the
democratic House, under the manipula-
ton of Fernando Wood, is creating a
strong feeling of opposition among the
industrial classes OF Maine.
Under republican rule in Congress the
industries OF the State have been iostered,
but all this is to change If the democrats
obtain control of the administration. Inc
new tariff bill is suggestive OF the plans
of the democrats. Take for example the
proposed reduction of duties on lumber,
wood and manufactures thereof. They
are such AS owners of lumber and wood
and manufacturers of them will feel Sc
verely. Taxed heavily as they are to
support the government, and obliged to
pay high prices for labor, they cannot
stand on equal ground with the Canadian
dealers, who have no heavy government
taxes to pay and employ cheap labor. II
the new tariff bill should become law,
IL would be runous TO many branches OF
industry in the lumber business in our
State. SO the wooden manufacturers are
sssailed by the new tariff bill, also other
kinds of manufacturing industries. Pro-
tests have been sent to Congress against
the proposed tariff from Maine. In the
Westera and Middle States organized and
powerful opposition is manifested against
the plans of the democratic leaders in the
revision of the tariff. 1t means bankrupt
CIV to the manufacturers and ruin to the
industries assailed.
One OF the vital industries of Maine is
assailed in the provision in Mr.. Woods
tariff, for the admission Of foreign built
vessels to American registry. Maine is
second only to New York in the amount
OF tonnage owned in the State, an prob
ably is the first State in the Union
for ship-buiding. Let this provision 90
into effect and the const quence would be,
says Hon. John Lynch, that there Wouid
be no more american rcSSels 6uiH." Our
~ f,
and grass would grow in the streets OF
those now busy places along the coast in
which shipbuilding is carried on to any
extent. This provision would not only
strike fatal blow at shipbuildng, but it
would reduce the value of vessels already
built, of which Maine now owns to the
amount of about $50, 600 900 Mr.. Lynch
says such a policy would place the whole
American tonnage at the mercy "of the
foreign tonnage" at would offer pre-.
MUM against our own people, and place
an interest in which is invested nearly
5000 900. 900 at the mercy of our foreign
rivals" III Wouid be absolutely destructive
to the american shipping interests"
1t is high time that the people of Maine
began to look sharply at the effect which
the democratic policy, now being shaped
at Washington, is going to have upon thei
industries and welfare if the democracy
regain full control in national legislation
and carry their plans into effect. We are
= border people and should feel first anc
most deeply the evil effects of any meas.
ures to discriminate against our own in.
dustries in favor of foreign interests, aut
we ought to be first and most energetic
in opposing the adoption of such ruin
Gus policy by this government.
