through and snapped of like pipe stems.
Crowds hocked to the wharf to see the steam

What Archibald Linn Says.

Hon. Archibald Linn of Hartford, the
great woolen manufacturer, was in Bangor
Thursday evening, where he was interviewed
by representative of the Bangor Wbig.
Mr.. Linn's attention was called to an article
which appeared in that evenings CONNER
cial purporting to be a despatch frdm Hart
land, in which he was made TO appear az op-
posed to protection and in favor of free
wool Mr.. Linn, after having the article
read to hun, said it entirely msrepresepted,
as published the position which he occu-
pies, as he is a firm believer in the doctrine
Of protection as the safeguard Of American
industries and American labor.
While be believed, as an abstract PROPOSE
ton, that the free importation Of wool might
inure to the temporary benefit Of woolen man
ufacturers. he also believed that the policy
of protection was the only policy for the Am
erican people. That policy. ss a whole,
must stand or fall together. each interest
being inter-depeDdent with every other. To
make break in it by the free importation of
wool or any other free raw material would
be like the opening of small crevice in a
dyke which, imperceptible at first, would en-
large and expand until the whole fabric was
destroyed and the country protected by IL in
undated.
He believes that il IL to the republican and
not to the..democratic party that the people
should look for tie enactment of laws upon
the tariff question, and believing this. he
will cast bis vote for Harrison and Morton
and protection 70 American industries.
Mr.. Linn spoke of conversation he had
With an English manufacturer, who said that
if the duties on manufactured goods were
taken of that be would double his spi ndle,
and run his factories, day and night.
