PROFIT SHARING.
a System Which Maybe Extended to
Some Maine Mills.

NEW YORK, May Wv. H. Parsons & Co.,
the largest paper manufacturing concern in
this country, who control the Bowdoin Paper
Company at Topsham, Me-, and are largely
interested in the new paper mills at Lisbon
Falls, Me-, have recently adopted new
means of cooperation with their employees
of the WestmOreland Paper Company at
West Newton, Pa.
They are, they assert, the first paper manu-
facturers to adopt the system of proft-shar-
ing with their employees. Mr.. W. Il. Parsons,
turned to New York, after putting the new
system into operation at his Pennsylvania
factory Mr.. Parsons says that at the end
of six months, after the interest on the
capital invested has been deducted, a per-
centage of the, remaining profits will be
divided among the employees in proportion
to the wages of each This will be done
without making any decrease in the existing
scale of wages, which is said to be satisfac-
tory, so the division of profits will bring
clear gain. 1t has been found impossible to
make the times of division any more fire.

impressed with the advantages of profit

Important Matters Before a Meeting

The regular May meeting of the Portland
Yacht Club was held at the club house, Mer-

were added to the roll.
A communication from Commodore Soley

was read, and resolution was presented
and adopted, asking the influence of the

death OF James Morrill, Churchill, which occurred
at Cardenas, Cuba. April Attn. il has been neces.
sary therefore a second time to erase from our
roll OF members the name OF one most intimately
associated with the early history Of the club.
Elected in 1859 the first commodore, he held the
office until 1878, and during that PERIOD by per
sonal endeavor and rigid adherence to the high
standard OF naval etiquette and discipline, which
he believed essential, he contributed In a marked
degree to the increasing stability and prosperity
Of our club.
To the younger yacht owners at that time his
enthusiastic interest iE the sport OF yachting was
constant stimulus, and the interest awakened
BY his example in the early days Of our organiza-

thinks that tariff to stand for any
length of time must be recognized every
where throughout the country as equi-
table and just. But tariff of that de-
cription has never existed, and can
never exist.
The only kind of duty that will never
be complained of is one like the duty on
the farmers corn. 1t does nobody any
harm because it protects nobody; and it
does nobody any good because we do not
import more than can be raised on an
ordinary farm. 1t is one of those duties
which serve no purpose, except to fool
the farmers.

There is an attempt all along the Pro-
tectionist line to hoodwink the farmer
and make him believe that his turn at
projections wheel has come at last.
This attempt is based on the assertion
that our farmers are suffering from ruin.
Gus competition from agricultural prod
ucts imported into the country from
abroad.
The New York Tribune gets up figures
to show that these foreign farm prod
ucts, counting all the way from live
stock to shrubs and plants, amouted last
year to S75, ,927, 900.
But our farmers exported last year
about S600,O0O,000 worth of their prod
ucts. This sum does not include manu-
factures into which farm products en-
tered; and it can, therefore, be greatly
enlarged.
In this competition, then, between the
foreign farmer and his American rival
the account would stand about thus: For
every dollars worth of produce that the
foreigner puts into competition with
the American, the American puts about
seven dollars worth into competition
with the foreigner.
With such a showing as that the
American farmer has no cause for alarm.
