:, dlately alter the new tariff bill passed
clamorous appeals came from all til
, free trade newspapers for information o
, single new industry started as the re
suit Of It's provisions, or OF single in
stance Of increased wages to workmen
There was tone OF challenge in these de
mands-a sort OF "putnp or shut.up'
tone. It was undoubtedly thought Il
be safe challenge TO make, for business
enterprises do not often spring in, ex
istence over night. But within weel
after the new tariff rates we're actually IL
operation answers began to appear il
scores Of local newspapers everywhere
The commercial agencies reported a cen
eral revival Of business all over th 0 land
and moro especially in tho South and
West, where public feeling against the
bill was said to be strongest. Almost
every trade journal contained columnt
concerning the extension OF its particu
lar branch OF industry telling OF prepara,
tiors here and elsewhere 70 build new
works and 10 enlarge old ones.
AoREAT SHOWING.
A classification OF these new opera.
tions was made last week by the Dry
Good' Chronicle, in an article not in.
tended 10 exercise a political influence,
but merely to inform the trade in which
it circulates. In this classification no
leas than 153 new enterprises are in.
cluded. Thirty.one are located south OF
Mason and Dixon's line and forty.six
west OF the Ohio river. They embrace
all lines OF dry goods manufacture, and
are calculated to give employment
within another year to at least five
thousand persons. -.e
The new, cotton mills number seventy.
eight; woolen mills iorty.one; knitting
and hosiery mills twenty; worsted mills
six; silk mills five; linen mills two; car
pet factory one, and lace factory one.
The fact that these factories are to be
started is well verified. Many reports
have reached this country, showing that
foreign manufacturers, defeated by the
Mckinley bill in their plans to import
their product, have decided now TO i'm
port themselves and their plants. Lister
& Company, a silk plush firm of Brad.
ford, England. have already reorganized
into a company with a capital Of ten
millions OF dollars with this end in
view, and two OF their directors are in
the United States looking for, a site
upon which to erect mills capable OF
holding five thousand operatives.
ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
Another splendid undertaking is being
arranged Tor by Charles Barrez, the
senior member Of q great French corpo-
ration, whose manufacturers Of woolen
goods have been largely sold here. Mr..
Barrez and his associates have determ-
ined to inyeet two millions in m Ameri-
can woolen mill and the only question
they are now considering is merely that
Of a site. Last week arrangements were
completed by the purchase of extensive
grounds at Elwood, Indiana, for the
erection OF linen mills. Eight millions
OF capital are involved in this scheme.
The greater part Of it is Scotch money,
which one may be sure would never
have left home but for the practi-
cal application of the Republican
doctrine that those who share
our advantages should help to
foot our bills.
Another important western corpora:
ton supplied from tue east with capital
is the kearney cotton mill. at kearney,
Nebraska. Five hundred thousand dol
lars is to be expended there in the man.
ufacture Of cotton cloth. The recent
visit OF the English and German iron
masters has resulted in large Investments
in mining properties in Kentucky and
Alabama, where iron manufactures are
to- be presently erected.
A GREAT GLASS COMPANY.
An organization of English and Ameri.
can capitalists has been perfected where.
by ten millions Of dollars are to be
devoted 10 the manufacture OF glassware
at Irwin, Pennsylvania. Work is rapidly
progressing at Deadwoo6 and Rapid
i City for the development of tho Black
hills tin ores and the six millions OF
capital which has been 80 long waiting
for a fair Opportunity to begin operations
in the kearney mines is now at last
actively at work.
at tho same time arrangements are
rapidly progressing for the construction
Of factory at Pittsburgh for the making
of tin plate machinery, and at least four
corporations are orgaiized-one in Min.
neapolis, one in Baltimore and two in
Pittsburgh for the manufacture Of tin
plate. In these various enterprises at
least twenty.three millions ofdo!lars are
concerned.
The pearl button industry has also un.
dergone revival, as remarkable for it's
quickness as for its extent. The impor-
tant firm Of Lazarus, Swartz & Lipper,
Of Philadelphia, have not only made ar
rangements for the enlargement OF their
works, but they have increased the
weekly wages OF their fifteen hundred
employees from fifteen to twenty per
cent. The Newark, New Jersey, button
factories, Of which there were twenty.
one few years since, but which had
almost entirely ceased to operate, have
already rekindled their furnaces and six
thousand men, lately out OF employ
ment, are assured Of permanent work.
These are but few of the hundreds
Of new enterprises which have been ere.
ated by the Mckinley bill in one short
month. They are confined within 10
territorial limite. They are as numerous
and important in the west as in the east
When the Democratic press began Ia
call for the production OF these evidences
Of better times they little thought to be &C
tquickly answered.
