drawn from the facts in regard to our mana
facture and consumption of silk. In 1880
there were 3S2 establishments engaged in the
manufacture of silk in the United States.
The capital invested 10 the industry vas $685.
Is9. 400, and 81 1897 hands were employed.
In that year raw silk was imported to the
value of sl2, O24 ,699 and the manufactured
product was valued at 34,5l9,723. In the
same year our imports of manufactured silk
were valued at S3l AGO. 47. The raw silk
imported was free from duty, while the mau-
ufactured silk had charged upon it an aver
age duty of 1913 per cent. Here We have
an instance of free raw materials with every
facility for its manufacture in the United
States. The machinery used was of the best
class, and skilled workmen, many of whom
learned their trades in the factories OF Eu-
rope, were employed. The product of the
American looms was superior in quality to
that imported, and the duty on foreign silk
was higher than upon almost any other
fabric. In fact it was the high duty that first
induced our people to engage in the manufac-
ture of silk.
But with free raw material, skilled work
men, good machinery, and high duty on
manufactured silks, we we're not able to sup
ply our own markets. The theory is that
with free raw materials our exports of manu-
featured products will be increased. Why was
there not large expectation of American
silks after raw silk was placed on the free
list? But the beneficial influence of a pro-
tective tariff was we'll illustrated in the growth
of the silk industry of the United States. In
1870 We imported only three millions worth
of raw silk, while in 1880 our imports were
twelve millions, and silk goods were first
manufactured here in 1867. Without pro-
tective tariff we would import all the silk
goods we use with protection we manufacture
more than one half. We employ more than
thirty-f thousand people at this industry,
and add S25, 000, 900 annually to the valne of
the raw materials imported before they are
placed on the market for consumption.
This might be extended until it included
nearly every branch of manufactures. and
it would all go to show that there is but one
way in which to reduce the cost of manufsc-
tured goods in the country sufficiently to en-
uble them to compete on equal terms with
foreign makes, and that is by cutting the
price of labor to the foreign standard He
who is ready to see this done has solid free
trade ground to stand Manchester Minor

Mr.. Blaine is having excellent weather
this week for his campaigning tour. And
he improves it we'll. His meetings have
been splendidly attended. The Tribune
correspondent says of the meeting at
North Berwick: 'In remarking on the
size of the meeting, Mr.. Blaine said that
not in thirty years. campaigning in this
State had he known of such meetings
on the opening of a canvass except
Presidential years." The Oxford meet
ing was a great success, also the meet
ings at Lewiston. A cloud has covered

Mr.. Blaine's speech disappoints his enc
mics. They find it lacking in interest,
and it lacks interest because it is not full
of fire and blood Had it been vehement
and vituperative. they would have pro-
nounced it unworthy of man in his pos
ition. While no possible variety of speech
from Mr.. Blaine would have pleased these
envenomed critics, the great body OF the
people will admire its sobriety OF tone, its
dignity of manner, its fullness OF knowl-
edge and its moderation of statement, and
will find in these high qualities the EVIL
dence that Mr.. Blaine appreciates the re-

The Tariff Tax.

In a speech delivered in the National House
of Representatives near the close of the last
session. Atkinson of Pennsylvania presented
some facts bearing upon the tariff question
which are eloquent in defense of the protec-
tive system. We borrow some of them and
ask our readers before they vote to send
free trader to Congress to study them care
fully.
In 1885 we imported
Manufactures of wool, $25,776559
Manufactures of silk, 27.467 ,569
Iron and steel and manufactures of 81 ,563 $3.50
manufactures OF cotton, 27,IQ7,24l
Glass and glass ware, 6,256, 1874
Earthern stone and china ware, 4,S37, 7s2
Hats, bonnets, etc, 4,570429
Salt, l,5l999S
Total, sl42,l39, 457
Included in the list is more than Sl6,000,-
900 worth of tin plate, or all we used, and
every pound of it might have been made
here, for we have the raw material. the labor
and the capital in great abundance. The
same is true of more than half the articles
imported. and il is not too much to say that
we sent abroad, in the twelve months referred
to hundred millions of dollars for articles
which nothing but the lack of tariff high
enough to shut out the products of pauper
labor prevents our making for ourselves.
The tariff question is all here in a nutshell
1t is shall we save this hundred millions
which would support half million people by
Increasing the duties on some imported arti-
Giles, or be content to keep that the measure
of our unnecessary purchases abroad, or shall
we double or treble the amount by reducing
the tariff or abolishing it? large part of
Mr.. Atkinscn's speech is devoted to answer
ing the free trade propositions, that with free
trade or free raw materials the cost of our
manufactures would be so reduced that we
could compete successfully for the foreign
markets and still keep the balance of trade on
the right side, and this he does remarkably
we'll. He says:
ave have full and abundant supply OF
cotton of every quality desired; it is pro-
duced in our own country so that no foreign
transportation charges need to be paid up0n
it, and our opportunities to use and manufac-
ture it are superior to those of any other ma
ton. so far as chespness and abundant sup
ply are concerned. Our operatives engaged
in manufactures are as skillfu as any in the
world, and our machinery is equal to the
best. Foreign wool will be brought to us
with additional transportation charges upon
it. and subject to the losses incident to long
distance carriage. Our cotton cloths are in
demand in the South American markets.
where wooden goods are unsuited to the
climate. and yet with all our facilities for
manufacturing. and with a naYEat
exports of manufactured cotton in 1880 were
only SIC, 467, 65l out of total domestic pro-
dustion of s2l0, 900, 900 worth of such goods
and in 1885 our exports had risen to only
SII 1886. 59l.

our exports of cotton manufactured for eight

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Jan. 1.-THE ice-gorge in
the Oswego river at Fulton becomes firmer and
larger every hour, as Immense quantities of ice
are constantly coming down the river The
water has risen more than two feet since last
night, and is rising several inches an hour The
damage already done cannot be estma ted.
Fully seyenty-iys families have been driven
from their homes, and others are constantly
moving out. The families are poor, and as
fast as they are rescued are turned
over to the poor authorities. All the
trans that are available are being used
to remove flour and other goods from the mills
and manufacturing buildings. The grain in the
mills is wet. Should the water recede the mills
and factories will be filled with ice, and as many
of them had large contracts on hand the damage
will be very great. Hundreds of people are
thrown out Unemployment Professor Boynton.
