THE COMMUNISM OF CAPITAL

The al ticle in our columns two weeks
since, written by Maj. A. B. Valentine
and reviewing the origin of the manu-
factureTs of Bennington, has received
market attention and has been copied
far and wide. Mr.. II. G. Lindloff at
Denver, recently, was asked questions
concerning Eastern employees which
showed that the free trade lies spread
by the Golden club are believed 10y
many people who ought to know better.
Several Western dailies as well as the
Boston Journal and other papers East,
have made the letter of MAJ Valentine
to the BANNER the subject of editorial
comment and commendali ion. The Free
Press of last Friday has the follpwing,
which we copy
1.-THE tariff discussion has been all
along, as General Harrison aptly put 1t,
an arraying of maxims against markets,
and of facts against theories. During
the National canvass some of the most
effective statements of the results of &C
tual experience, as opposed to abstract
theories, were made by Maj. A. B. Val
entlne of Bennington, who, as the head
of the great mills for the manufacture
of knit goods IN that village, has been
an extensive employer of labor, and as
an intelligent and public spI tied cit zen
is qualified TO give valuable opinion
in regard to the results of protection
upon American industries, In a recent
communication to the Bennington BAN
NER, Major Valentine replies to Mr..
Cleveland's recent sore-headed article
on American manufacturers. In this
recital Of pertinent facts, Mr.. Valentine
calls attention a:rpsh to the truth that
in this favored land the workingman of
today is often the employer of
tomorrow. He shows the lot of
the workingman is not as the President
asserts,a doom OF perpetual servitude, '
and cites name and cases within his own
kno Wedge as can be parallel
in every manufacturing center--in
which self respecting, intelligent labor
has reaped not only comfort out wealth
and position. Major Valentine rightly
Mr. ClevelanG's dia rlbe
as an insult 10 the intelligence of our
working classes. We copy his commun-
icalion in another column and com
mend its convincing facts to the consid-
Grafton Of the free trade croakers who
are ready to accept Mr.. Cleveland's
reckless and false asset ton that great
gulf exists between the employer and
The employed in this country, and that
no door of possible Advancement is open
to our labOring classes"

NER of the eth, THE contract for build
ing an extension of 400 feet at the norti
end of the Burlington breakwater has
been awarded to Willard johnson of
Fulton, N. Y, for $31 5000" reminds
me that was clerk In the office of N.
B. Haswel', Burlington agent for the
United States for building the break
water, from Sept 1887 till 1910. There
had been 200 feet nearly finished at the
time l first saw the works, and II was
feared by the agent that there would bul
little If any be added to it, as it had g.
many opposers, even many Of the best
men iu Burlington. will mention but
one name, Hon. Heman Allen, M. G
He was firm as the hills in his opposi-
ton to it, thinking it would be thu
means of wrecking more vessels than il
would ever protect. In 1888 there wa
an appropriation Of $50, 900 asked for by
the Agent. and as Mr.. Allen was theT
home Mr.. Haswell would beg of Mr.
Allen not to oppose it. But in all hi
stay he could net be changed and startet
from his home for Washington deter
mined to oppose the appropriation
When he arrived at the wharf the boat

were taken on. While the boat was
