WOODEN MANUFACTURERS

Comparative Cost of Manufacturing
All Wool Dress Goods In England
aud AmeIicn-C0nsui Schoennofs
Latest Report.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commsrcs.)
Washington, June 30.-Consul Schoenhof,
at Tunstali, England. has furnished the
State Department., under date Of June s,
1883, with very interesting and instructive
comparison of the cost of manufacturing all
wool dress goods in America and in England.
The goods selected for comparison are known
as ''sacxings." In America they are largely
used for ladies' dress. They are made Of
carded wool. and are Of plain flannel weave.
They represent, therefore, flannel manufac-
turing Ia the different items OF labor, a. well
as sackings or ladies' cloth.
The American mill selected for comparison
uses mostly Ohio and Michigan X feecs, the
price Of which at the time Mr.. Shoenhof's
calculations were made stood at thirty-6ve
cents per pound. A shrinkage Of fifty per
cent. takes place in the wool in the securing
and manufacturing which brings the cost Of
tho wool in the cloth to seventy cents per
pound. The cost of carding, spinning, weav-
ing dying and finishing was obtained by d.
viding the actual expenditures for these sew
erel purposes Tor half . year BY the number
of pounds of finished product turned out In
that time; and the additional charge per
pound of cloth, including general Office az
penses, rent. insurance, taxes. and interest
were ascertained In the same way.
(a) The total cost in Massachusetts per
manufactured pound Of goods - described,
i. O., all-wool sackings used for ladies' drsss
| goods is a. follows:

This comparison brings The contest over
The wooden schedule clearly before the mind

The Democrats propose In the Mills Bill

ON ready made clothing TO IS Per cent. |;

The Republicans and the Tariff.
The following paragraphs from the Rspub-
hean platform contain the declarations con-
oerning the tariff:


osrning the tariff:
PARTY OF PROTECTION.
We are uncompromisingly In favor Of tho
American s. stem OF projection. We pro-
test against fits destruction, ~ proposed
Dy Che President and party. They servo
tho interests Of Europe; we will support
tho interests Of America We accept the
issue, and confidently appeal 10 the people
for their judgment. The protection system
must be Maintained. Its document has
TO AL interests, except those OF the Insurer
and sheriff. We dsnounce the Mills bill
as destructive to the general business, tho
labor and the farming interests Of the
country. and We heartily iUdoise the con
sis:ent and patriotic action Of the Re
publican representatives in Congress op-
posing Its passage.
We condemn the proposition Of tho
Democratic party to place wool on tho
Tree list, and VIZ insist that tho duties there
on shall DO adjusted and maintained so as
TO furnish full aid adequate protection
To that industry.
FREE WHISKY.
Tho Republicans would effect Ill needed
reduction Of the national revenue by re-
peaiing the lakes uLon tobacco. which are

II there shall still remain larger revenue
than Is requisite Tor the wants OF the Cow
eminent. We favor the entire repeal Of
internal taxes rather than the surrender
OF any part OF our protective system. at
the Joint behcst Of the whisky trusts and
the agents of foreign manufactures
We declaie our hostility to the intro

tract labor and OF Chinese labor. alien to

We demand tho rigid enforcement Of the
