A BIG MILL SHUTS DOWN.
Eight Hundred Hands Idle-The Mills
Bill Said to Be the Cause
From the New York Tribune.

TOlD LlE view IOAh
The Norfolk and New Brunswick Hosiery
Company of New Brunswick. \. j. on safur-
day suspended work at their mills for a Pc
Rod of several weeks; or, at any rate, until
there should be larger demand for their
goods than at present. The company run a
small mill at Hartford, Conn, but most Of
their work is done at New Brunswick, where
they own FIVE large brick buildings. The
company which has been in existence since
1866, ia in sound financial condition. 1t has
paid as high dividend as 10 per cent, but
last year the dividend was only per cent
The principal part of their business consists
in the manufacture of fine underwear-shirts
drawers and stockings.
To Tribune reporter, who asked him on
Saturday the reason for the temporary closing
of the mills, John y. Carpenter, president OF
the company, said that it was entirely owing
TO 1.-THE uncertainty brought about By tariff
legislation that their customers were wait

FOR HARRISON AND MORTON
The Bradstreet Brothers OF Gardiner
Repudiate the Mills Bill.


The removal of the tariff on lumber a.
proposed by the Mills bill is creating much
CONSERVATION and disturbance among the
Democratic voters interested in the grea
lumber interests of the State. The Brad
street brothers, F. T. and J. S. Bradstreet
of Gardiner, do business under the firm
name OF the Bradstreet Lumber Company
and are among the most extensive and enter
prisng lumber manufacturers on the Kenne-
bee river. Their mill is one of the biggest
and best appointed in the country, and is To-
Gated at South Gardiner, where they employ
over 100 men. Their annual output of man
ufactured lumber is 1900, 900 feet. At
the headwaters of the river they own large
tracts of timber lands where they employ
winters $50 men and co horses in logging
operations Both the brothers have AWAY
been staunch Democrats and voted the Dem
ocratic ticket. This forenoon Mr.. F. T.
Bradstreet was found by your correspondent
sitting on pile of lumber at his wharf, in
South Gardiner, while his men we're busy
loading trim schooner which was tied up
at the dock
II understand" queried the reporter,
THAT you are opposed to the removal of the
tariff from lumber"
Il am emphatcally, and so is my brother. 3"
Why"
"There is no question but that it would
have disastrous effect on our business and
the great lumber industry of the State. We
are not politicians but business men and we
take this stand simply as matter of policy
We are not foolish enough to bite off our
own noses. Take the duty off of lumber and
it hits us squarely in the face"
What is your situation as compared with
that of the Provincial lumbermen?'
Il think the duty about evens matters up.
They can manufacture lumber much cheaper
over the line than we can, for labor and sup
plies cost much less there. Why, the Dem
ocrats would have US pay big duty on
horses and oats and strike off all protection
on lumber.
How shall you vote?"
I'VE have always voted the Democratic
ticket. I shall certainly vote for Harrison
and Morton and SO will my brother. The

ENCOURAGING SIGNS FROM THE
SOUTH.
Protection Strong in North Carolina,
and Democrats Think the Sta Doubt
full.

North Carolina never accepted readily
the heresies of the Free Trade Democ-
racy. In her better political days she fol-
lowed Clay, Mangum, and Crittenden in
their advocacy of the American system.
The idea of carrying the State this year
for the Republican ticket has been ridi-
culed good deal, but Judging by the testi-
mony of the Democrats themselves it is
not such remote possibility after all. 4
few days ago the Democratic State Exec
utlve Committee of North Carolina issued
confidential appeal for funds setting
forth the necessity of hard work in order
to save the State. A copy of this appeal
found its way to the Republican National
Headquarters. 1t is highly interesting
from a Republican point of view, and reads
as follows:

Jealous and liberal you always are in aiding

pecun,ary assistance. All contribution when
received are placed in bank and checked out

and the amount paid b. each is preserved,
if there should be any surplus on hand at the
end of the canvass, there will be no difficult

The Meaning OF the Cleveland Democ-
racy.

The Democratic editors and speakers
are just now trying bold game of decep-
ton and prevarication. They deny that
their party is committed to Free Trade
They will not deny that they are hostile
to Protection. which they pronounce a
system of robbery. Yet they cannot fail
to know that Free Trade Is but the mega
tive of Protection. In being for one, they
are necessarily in antagonism to the other.
Their English allies see the utter folly of
attempting to deceive the American peo-
pie on plain. practical questions.
President Cleveland does not avow him
SELF to be, and evidently does not regard him
self as a Free Trader. Yet. whether Mr.
Cleveland is in the right or in the wrong he
cannot help adopting free trade arguments
and bolstering them up with free trade illus
trations, Take. for example, his argument
against the wool tariff, that the farming class
lose vastly more by the increased prices of
clothes than they gain from the enhanced
price of wool. This reads like an extract
from some old speech of Mr.. Brights But
look at his view of the situation as expressed
by himself 1T is condition which CON
fronts US, not theory" Precisely so
Words almost identical with these have been
used and with enormous effect in this country
by Adam Smith, by Richard Golden, by Sir
Robert Peel Glasgow Herald.
This is plain, unmistakahe language.
These are the words of frank English
journalist who identifies the sentence as a
stock citation from Adam Smith, Richard
Golden or Robert Peel. Not satisfied
with impairing the value of a phrase, he
dismisses the message as reading for all
the world like ''some old speech of Mr.
Bright's." Cleveland in his message of
last December, or those who wrote that
document for him, did not try to trim or
to conceal his meaning. He adopted the
logic and the language of the Free
Trade teachers, and that document was
readily understood and had familiar
sound throughout England and Scotland.
We will increase wealth if we lower the
duties and let importations come in of those
things which can be produced cheaper in
other countries than our own. (Mr. Mills,
Dem., Texas, Tariff debate
This is the way the proud Texan talked
when he opened the tariff debate in the |
House of Representatives. But at later
date he had a call TO speak for his bill in
New York. He had heard the rumblngs |
of popular opposition. In the presence of |
Tsmmauy Hall he put on the airs of indig-
nation that any one should callhim Free
Trader. The Scotehmen are plain speak
ing people. They do not like to play
double part, and they despise white lying.

THEIR LAST HOPE GONE.
Gray Men Are About Ready to
Give Up the Ghost,

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Nobody is able to
perceive contingency likely to throw
the convention into a struggle over the
vice presidency. Gov. Gray's friends
have all along had two grounds of hope
that they might eventually win. One
of these was the attitude of the Ohio
delegation, and it is singular fact that
the movement to bring the old Roman
from his retirement came near being
strangled in his own state. tits claimed
that majority of the Ohio delegation
are really against Thurman to this day.
and are accepting him only be-
upon them. Ohio was brought over to
the Thurman standard, however, Mon
day night, and to-day the delegation,
having perceived that the nomination
was inevitable, passed Thurman reso-
luton, much stronger and more salts
factory than the one of Monday night.
The Gray men also had some hopes that
by making a courageous stand they
could hold in line the friends of all the
other candidates, thus preventing
Thurman getting two-thirds ON the
first ballot. But the unit rule has
been adopted by the Thurman
majority in six or eight of the states,
notably Michigan, New York, Pennsyl-
Vdild anu ISuueSSee, tiluS lofclng Gne
minority to help swell the votes of the
favorite. and practically destroying the
last hope of the supporters of Gov.
Gray. There have been rumors of COM
binations to brtng Carlisle or Dickinson
into the contest, but the friends of both
deny that any effort is being made in
their behalf.
Senator Voorhees, says the question
whether Gray's name shall be placed in
nomination is to be decided tomorrow
morning.
