notces thess signs of prosperity at
lenglh. In the cotton industry mum
ber Of mills are ia course Of eoDsIFue-
ton, aRd information received from
manufacturers indicates very good
/ tone n business. Ia New Bedford the
Bennett corporation hss voted - erect
large yarn mil Of 50.ooo spindies.
and additions are making 10 mills ia
Lowell Manchester. Fall River, ard
{ numerous other towns.
ia the woolen ANA worsted industry,
there Is great activity. The mills have
their fail production closely sold up,
and are running husLy. From all sec
+ tons Of the country the revival OF the
wors,ed industry Is announced. In
town ia Pennsylvania three woFsted
factories that nave been silent for
months were pat IN operation this
week, giving employment to 2,5oo per
sons. In Maine several WOODEN mills
that were silent have resumed work,
and = large woolcn mill, that has been
for some time building near Worcester,
Viii shortly be ready for machinery.
THIS i good showing, especially when
/ y Is considered that these are only a
few instances Of the many that might
be mentioned. This industry does
not seem 10 be depressed, because II
was not given absolute Democratic free
trade IN raw material"
Much has been said about the forth
coming increase in the cost Of plush
goods, because of the new tariff. But
II seems that the plush industry is also
coming to the front, and a large mill to
give employment to one thousand oper-
atlyes viii be erected at Sanford, Ne.
The poor mans shoe leather has also
been the subject of many dismal Demo
cratic Jeremiads. Increased cost was TO
5e the rule in the future. The influence
of the revival in the American shoe in
dustry, however, VIII soon be felt.
Massachusetts, shoe towns are booming,
and more than one can boast of = new
factory as the latest acquisition. In
Aver a $4,000 shop will be erected,
and in Mills large factory Will be
built. This factory means the erection
of sixty dwellings in the town and ar.
increased population of thousand
people. Factories are also building at
Brookfield, Webster, Lynn and Haver-
hill. In New Hampshire the industry
is fourishing and five new shops are
now building.
In the paper, glass, hardware, iron
and steel industries the same irrepres-
sible American activity is evident.
Everywhere new manufactures are
sprlngng up, which will demand thou
sands of American workingmen, at
good American wages. These are no
fairy tales, but truthful contemporane-
Gus annals of industrial development
and enterprise.
Now, why it's not better for the Amer
lean people to allow these Amer
ican institutions to manufacture
for Americans, instead OF buy
ing from England, is something
which free traders fail to make plain.
And they also fail to make plain why
the natural competition among these
various institutions will not result in
bringing the cost of their productions
down to the very lowest figures consis-
tent with the payment of American
wages. This ever has been the case and
| ever Will he.
If the free trade argument in favor
of admitting English goods to our mar.
kets free Of tariff is good for anything
: whatever, 1t is because English good:
!, can be made cheaper than ours. There
is no doubt that English wages are les,
than American. That is not seriously
denied now. And that is the great rea
son why England can in some iDstanc.
+, es manufacture cheaper than Amer
ica. That is the only real advantage
!, for cheap production, which England
has. Now, If America can manufacture
cheaply, only at the expense of Amer
i, lean wages, then she never at all should
{, manufacture chesply-Dot even 10 Sc
cure "the markets of the world.
There are some things far dearer tC
America than gold. and silver. anC
j. merchandise, and those things sre th'
J.. fesh and blood, the bodiss and souls o.
her sons and daughters. She never
q with toe consent CT the RepublIoar
I party, will barter those treasures fol
