WOOLEN MANUFA CTURING.

Joseph Chadwick, formerly Register
of Deeds IF this county, has written All
interesting letter to Peter Thompson,
dated at Little Falls, n. Y, where he
is now living, on the subject Of WOODEN
manufacturing in Worthington. From
this letter we make some suggestive
extracts, rs follows:
II has always been Il strong impress
sion in my mind that Worthington was
good point for wOolen manufacturing,
and from observation during our stay
in Central New York it has become
more confirmed.
Upon inquiry l find that. many of
our knit goods manufacturers in Gen.
lral New York find their market west
Of Chicago. st. Paul and Minneapolis
find that there are no knit goods manu-.
factuled west IF the Mississippi, and 1
think Chicago, aud no cloth manu-
factories OF large capacity nearer Wor-
thington than Minneapolis. So much
for the advantage of markets.
AS to fuel. All manufacturing in
the east now is operated by steam
power, the water privileges being used
for dyejnS, securing and rinS,ng the
goods, etc. Worthington has that adj
vantage in her lakes and easy access to
wells for boiler purposes. The cost of
coal used here by the mills, think, is
about So to $3.50 per ton by the car.
Worthington. with her railroad facil-
tiles, is within easy reach of cheap coal.
The raw material used in knit goods
is shipped from the West and South.
Here is another advantage that South.
western Minnesota has over the East,
the advantage of wool growing, thus
furnishing market for wool by manu-
featuring it right at home and the
benefits derived from woolen manu-
featuring are shown here in the East.
Small towns have grown RAPIDLY, both
in wealth and population by the intro
duction of manufacturing. It brings
skilled wOrkmen and families and en-
plOyment for men, women and children
and brings a demand for tenemeuts.
a ten-set mill on knit goods will fur
nish employment for about 200 hands
and put several thousand dollars, a
month in circulation to be consumed
by your merchants right at home.
Surely this is worth agitating and en-
couraging by offering inducements.
There are other ways to bring this
enterprise into your village. A stock
company might be formed at say 500
per share, limited or unlimited, (per-
haps the latter would be better.) This
would give any employee a chance to
become stockholder, and by so doing
the employed would be interested and
would labor with more zeal. There is
a stock company in this place that has
been running for years successfully and
a few of the employed hold shares in
the corporation.
Carl Schurz. who was counted on to
carry lot of German votes against
Blaine, has repentpd. In his paper, the
st. Louis Westliche Post. of the 18th.
he comes out for Blaine and says:
"Republicans can do no better than to
remain true to their ticket.''
We pause to hear from the New
York Times and Harper's Weekly.
The Times. being an English paper on
American soil, will no doubt continue
to bolt.

NOMINA TED BY THE PEOPLR. :
At the great Blaine and Logan rati-
fication meeting in Washington City,
Hon. VIM. w. Phelps said:


Hon. VIM. w. Phelps said:
On one side were senators and repre-
seDtatives and bosses and Officeholders
and politicians. On the other were the
peOp:e-plain, honest, American folks
without money and without leadership,
but with grateful recollection Of the
services which for twenty.four years
James G. Blaine. in conspicuous posi-
tion, had rendered the party and coln-
try, and with honest and sturdy Amer.
ican intent to repay them. That was
enough. These plain American citi-
zens from farm and shop, from homes
and schools, where they had studied
little more than the records of Lincoln
and Grant and Garfield ana Blaine,
entered the convention, and finally,
when elOquenco and culture and poiti-
cal strategy bad supped full of honors,
received hopers of chairmanships and
committees, fullest uttsrances and
most attentive hearing, the plain people
got to business for which they were
sent and nominated man, and all
people who wished American wages
and American homes for American
citizens shouted "Amen." What Re.
publican would refuse to endorse the
action Of the convention, unless he he
an enemy to fair play and to the right
of the majority to rule?
This is putting it in about the right
light. The bosses, the machine poll
ticians, the monopolists, the political
dudes, were against Blaine and the
people were for HIM. He was nomi-
mated without self-seeking or effort of
his own, without the 'machine' for
that was in other hands. lie was nom.
mated by spontaneous vote of the
Republicans.

Now that the country is agitated over
political matters and the time is nearat hand
when this pending issue will be acted upon,
we think it necessary to awaken some of our
political stalwarts OF the duties they owe
their party. 1t is well known that all modes
of procedure are adopted to defeat certain
candidates in tie pending struggle, and the
voter should understand the tricks that are
played to mislead him. 1t is well known
fact that the so called prohinitiopists are
making quite a struggle to assist their cand-
idate and all the the temperance lodges in the
country are using every endeavor to further
their ends. Snch an Institution exists in
this place and the Members of this lodge or
majority Of them are prominent Eepub.i-
cans and Democrats and their assistance IS
needed by their parties. But the lodge here
contains ten Republicans and fourteen Dem
ORA is wllo haye taken solemn obligations to
support and MAINTAIN the cause Of temper
ance. We strongly le.ieve in Temperance e
ting that cause than ia any other issue now
existing, but when it Genes to making tile
temperance question a political issue we sol
9 nnly and earnestly protest. We are sur
prlsed to know that certain number Of
this o'iticc-temperance alliance. who pre-
tend to be moral and who attempt to teach
the unjust how to live as christians and at
the c,ose Of existence, to die as saints, have
taken the stand they now occupy, and make G
a political matter out of an issue that is no
mors entitled to such q position than re-
hgion. Why do not not these superanuated
moral people starta fight against the accu-
mulatations of industry? BY 50 doing, they
could prevent the ravagcs of thieves aud
robbers, those individuals appropriate to
themselves that which tie thrifty save by
their industry. Industry causes accunaia-
ton, Accumulation is property. Property
Is a temptation to the thief. Why do they
not organize against accumulation and tell
people not to be economical, as being 50,
they offer temptation to the thefand rebber!
The political members OF this lodge must
know that they are under obligations to
support st. John, the temperance candidate,
for President, and if they fail to do so, they
have violated an obligation which they have
made that is as sacred as Holy Writ. We
ask all the faithful to think over this subject
and stay with and protect your alma mater
in times of Il stress SENsoHy
