Fncts Aaainst the BusIneaa scare


A little over year ago, probably one
half of the Republican voters of New Jer-
sey sincerely believed that if the Democrats
won the Presidential election all our indus
tries would 60 to ruin and absolute starva-
ton would be the fate of hundreds of
thousands. This sort of calamity was pre-
dicted in every Republican newspaper, by
every stump speaker. By this time every
one with as much thinking capacity as an
oyster knows that they lied. 1t is not ten
months since the Democratic administra-
ton was inaugurated, and even in this short
period of time gratifying change for the
better has taken place in the iron trade and
other industries. Last week marked the
opening of several concerns that have been
closed during several Republican admins
trations. The Boonton Iron Works is one
of these concerns. It was at one time one
of the most hourishing Industries Of the
State. The works closed shortly after
President Grants second term began, and
has been closed ever since. They reopened
last Wednesday with the employment of
twenty-five hands. The old Coghlan mill
at Whippany, up in Morris County, is
another concern that has been idle since
Rutherford B. Hayes occupied the White
House. The mill started once more last

If the railroad paid its taxes at the low
