A Novel Performance.

Nothing more novel than the act OF
Drummond and Stanley, the musical
blacksmiths at Kernan's this week, has
ever been seen on the stage, The scene
opens on a typical blacksmith's shop, in
which the artists are discovered, to all APP

Undoubtedly ih5 Inequalities IN the wages OF
English and American operatives are moro
-dan eGuIlizaI by the greater orii ,iuncv OF
the latt.r an their loHzer hours of labor.
Notwithstanding the fact that they
1av 20 higher wages than are paid in
England, our Fall River manufacturers
do not figure at all as competitors with
the English in the worlds markets.
They have cheaper cotton and about
the same wages: vet the English hold
the worlds markets for cotton goods.
Last December when our mauufacU-
urers found that they had on hand q
vast stock of plain white cotton cloth
Tor use in making calico prints, and
that they could no longer effect ready
sales at their combine price of 8 5-i6
cents per yard, they were compelled to
reduce prices about 10 per cent In
their distress they turned their atten-
ton to the foreign market, hop
ing to get rid of their surplus in
other countries: but they found that
they could not do any export. business
at a higher price than > 25 cents a yard.
This meant a reduction of nearly 80
per cent from the price which the
manufacturers had been realizing in
the home market through their com
bine. They decided to stick to the
home market, the best market IN the
world.
Since 1915 our cotton will have en-
i0vcd protection for building Nd
home market, but to this day they are
able to take but little moro than one
fourth of our domestic cotton crop.
How long does it take to build up an
industry to consume our domestic prod
ucts? And how long must it be pro-
tected to make wages high and keen
them high?'
