furnished with three little jaws triangular

The Democratic Troy Press concede'
every point claimed during the last cam
paign by the Republican party in tht
following
"a high tariff on collars would moi
have the effect of making high price'
for consumers. as The competition amonp
American manufacturers is brisk and TX

the toilers that Europe can compete al

Germany and they are largely made by

troy is the greatest collar maDnf c.

Of it's abundance of skilled labor. exten
sive experiences and admirable facilities
here is only one way in which any
other city in this country or elsewhere
can compete with it. The way is by the
payment Of lower wages, Take collar
manufacturing everywhere and remun-
rate labor equally, and Troy would
make the collars for the world. But il
cannot pay three times the price for
labor that is paid in Germany, and com
pete successfully in an open market
The wording Of the present tariff is sucI
that it affords collars very little protec-
tion-much less than that of manufac.
'ured goods generally. 1t is propose

clothing, which is evaded to a gree *

it is in the item of linen collars. We do
not believe that Congress wants to com

FACTS AGAINST THEORIES.

There are some theorists, mOsl Of them
are well meaning people, who belive that
the articles produced in prisons and
other places where persons are held in
involuntary serVitude are not sufficient
in comparative volume to effect the
market prIces of similar articles pro-
duced by free labor and the wages Of
the latter.
The facts are the opposite of this be-
lief. When chairmsking was intro
was large chair factory in operation IN
West Troy. The latter felt the compe-
tition Of the penitentiary first by being
obliged to reduce wages, Then it was
forced to cut down the number OF it's
employees. At last it was closed COM
pletely and the contest between honest
wage earners of ALBANY county was
ended in the defeat Of honest industry
because the Influence of the county was
against the honest workers.
Several boot and shoe factories pros
pered in this city until shoe shops were
operated in the Albany penitentiary.
The last factory in this city gave up the
quail competition years ago.
The brush making business of Lam
-ingburgh prospered for years and was
increasing when contracts were made
for convlcrs to work at brush making.
The Lansinghurgh indus,re had almost
vanished when the contracts for convict
labor were given up. Now the honest
wage workers and manufacturers of
Lansingburgh are rejoiced at some
signs of revival of their business.
Twenty years ago hundreds of men
were employed in this city in making
hollow. ware. To-day that ware is no.
made here at al. The business has not
gone West nor has it moved to some
other locality where greater induce
ments were offered in the way of lower
treights, wages or taxes. Ninety-five
per cent. of all the iron hollow-ware
produced in this country is made in pris-
on by convicts.
Before the Sing Sing prison stove
foundry was opened Troy and Albany
were the great stove making centres of
the country. The cheaper prices at
which the Sing Sing stoves were made
compelled honest manufacturers to re-
sort to expedients for lesseDing the cost
II production. Some moved to the
West 10 be nearer their markets and
ave transportation expenses. Oilers
vent to places where labor was not or
Eanized and where labor was cheaper
Others were driven out of the business
rne experience of the strive trade dem
pnstrates that prison products have at.
frcted the business in TWO ways, forcing
unfair comp tirion and dr. wing manu-
fac urprs from former centres.
There are other trades, such as the
clothing manufacture, harness making
md others that have suffered in the
same way. We have been content at
his time to specify only these in which
his locality has been largely interested.
These facts are worth all the fine spun
heories about the effect of convict
abor on honest industry that can be
evolved. Troy Press.
