lumber and the Tariff.

In conversation with representative Of the
ed with the Export Lumber Company. ad-
vaneed novel proposition on the tariff ques-
ton. saying: In all the articles on the tariff
that | see in the press it is the common argll-
mcnt that the consumer pays the duty. In the
matter of lumber I contend that it is the
manufacturer of lumber who paws the duty
something between 5000 900 900 and 200, 000,-
600 feet The output of Canada is about
1000, COG, 900 feet. Like every other commodity.
the price is regulated on the market by the
greater mass OF production. The Canada lum-
Der gets its price from the sale of the Michigan
lumber. The producer in Canada in selling to
price ut the rate paid for Michigan lumber less
the duty of 81. If the duty was removed the
Canadian producer would say to the manufact-
urcr that he could afford to pay - more for his
lumber. The consumer would be in no wise
benefited by the change. The Government
would lose a large source of revenue which it
persons benefited would be the producers in
Canada. 1t seems to me that this same rule
holds good with large share of the articles on
which there is a tariff where we produce in
quantity more than any other nation and 50

Lime Manufacturers Shut Down.

At meeting of the lime manufacturers held al
Rockland Jan. 18th, the following propositions
were voted upon and passed
First-To cease quarrying rock
Second-To cease hauling rock;
Third-To cease making casks
Fourth-To cease buying casks after proper
notice to hauers
This action was taken because of demands made
by Knights of Labor to which the manufacturer,
could not acccde. The above propositions, whicl
were sent i'll circular form to every lime manufact
urer in Knox county, went into effect Feb. /. Tn,

The Future of New England Industries.

Carol d. Wright, the well known statistic
ian, recently read before the Norfolk Club,
Boston, an interesting paper on ''The Future
of the Industries of Massachusetts, lie said
in the course of his address: ''The agricultur-
al products of Massachusetts do not exceed
$5G,000000 per year. We do not raise wheat
enough to feed our people Il single day. But
we have our mechanical industries turning out
$tO0.oo0,0o0 worth of products a year. How
shall we sustain ourselN YES in this direction and
also provide for the future?" The situation in
Massachusetts differs only i'll degree from that
in Maine, and Mr.. Wrights solution is there
fore of more than local interest. He thinks
and that lies in culivating to the highest point
we are able the development of new industries.
He pointed out that the advancement of the
South in an industrial point of view is rapid,
great and grand, and said that with her raw
material, with her immense resources of coal,
iron, timber and fabrics, it is for our interest
to that the South has every advantage for
industrial development. And further
But that advantage means that some of the
England will 90 South. That must be 50 logi-
cally and inevitably. The development of the
West will take some of the coarser products of
the East to the West. This then leaves Massa-
chuSctt> and New England surrounded by the
efforts of the countries of Europe to secure
foreign trade, and threatened, not in the ordn-
AIRY sense, by the advancement and progress of
other portions of the United States. with the
loss of some of her industries. Then Massa-
chu>ett> and the East generally must insist in
occupying the relation to the rest of the United
States that Great Britain and Belgium have oc-
cupied with relation to us, and must produce
all those finer grades of goods that are now
imported There is no reason in the world
why the East should not make the best of
West Of England broadcoth, or why with her
skill and what she can command Massachusetts
should not manufacture all the finest tools in
use in the world. SO that she shall supply the
growing South and the growing West. Not
only this, Massachusetts should recognize the
power and the influence of art applied to in
dustry. Our industrial schools, art schools and
technical schools must be fostered. That done.
we stand ready to furnish the United States at
least with the best skill that is obtainable in
the world. | believe that ii is only in this way
that Massachusetts can preserve her present
position aS one of the leading States in manu-
featured goods in this country.
