EFFECT OF THE M'KlNLEY TARIFF.
The Kanawha woollen-Mills Closed by
tho Cost OF Raw Material.
rspecial telegram 10 the Dispatch.l

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 2.-The pro
prietors of the Kanawha Woollen Mills
which have been In operation in this city
for about fifteen years, have decided to
close up their business and will stop work
as soon as the material now on hand can
be worked up. The reason assigned for
closing the factory is that it does not pay
TO run it under the operations of the Nc.
Kinley tariff law. The increased cost OF
raw materials has crushed the life out OF
that industry in this valley.
