American Ginghams and the Tariff.

American GlngnamS ana the TariY1.
The display in the shop windows of the
Ginghams from the new mill of the Westbrook
Manufacturing Company at Saccarappa at
tracts much attention. In looking over these
products of American industry one thing will
impress itself on the mind, and that is one
need not go abroad for fine ginghams, as these
goods have a style, finish, texture and coloring
equal to many and sapsriag tQ st Of taE
into account they are relatively better than the
imported goods. In fact beyond the difference
of the numbers of yarn they are "Scotch
goods" for they are made on the latest i'm
proved machinery imported from Scotland,
and the majority Of the help came from the
best mills in Glasgow. There would seem to
be no reason why this country should not make
goods of this class equal to the Scotch mills or
those OF any other county as it possesses every
facility and advantage. The day is not far
distant when American goods will take the
precedence. All of us should congratulate the
Westbrcok company on the result Of its under
taking and its successful entry into the market
with this fist offering We are told the COM
pany is now turning out ten thousand yards
day-which will be increased to fifteen when
the mill is fully underway. This is a home in
dustry, nurtured by the American system OF
protection, and an illustration of the effects of
a high tariff that may be used to advantage by
the protectlonists in the wordy debate now
waging in Congress.
