The Mckinley Bill Again.

Another infamous" phase of the
Mckinley bill is brought to notice here
that might be mentioned if it would not
incite a feeling of bitterness towards
this country on the part of British SYM
pathizers in our midst. Last week
Frank F. Conner, representing the
Thompson Glove Fitting Corset COM
pany, was in the city on business con-
nected with his house, and impaired
the information that the Thompson
company had manufactured their COR
sets in England until the passage of the
Mckinley bill, when they were COM
PEELED to start plant in the United
States in order to retain their Ameri-
can trade. Now, what is the result Of
this move? The establishing of fac
tory at Cambridgeport, Mass, doing q.
business of 81, 100000 year, and en-
ploying 900 operatives, a large proper
ton being skilled workmen. Here is
one more instance of the benefits to-
this country from the Mckinley bill.

ployed in manufacturing industries.
keeping our labor busy at remunerative
wages No citizen having the best in
terest Of this country at heart can be-
opposed to policy that viii bring
about a result like the one referred to
here. WatertoWn wants dozen manu-
featuring enterprises to start here, and
whether they come from England or.
Germany, they ought to be welcomed
and every encouragement rendered to-
foster and maintain them. Many are
apt to overlook the fact that the Nc
Kinley bill is purely a measure gotten
up TO benefit the United States, not to-
encourage manufacturing enterprises
across the water, but solely in the in
terest Of the people on this side of the,
Atlantic. America must look out for
herself; foreign nations care nothing
about how we get along.
