The WORSTED MILLS
And Their Relation to the Protective
Tariff Policy.
AN INTERESTING RESUME.
Other Mill and Factory Notes Cleaned by
Live Correspondents, from Towns All
About the state. and Over In Massachu-
setts.

During the years following the war.
the manufacture of worsted yarns In
this state was of considerable extent,
and many mi lis were engaged in the
business, which was profitable to all
The annual profits OF one or two mills
were from $500, 900 to half millioa dol
lars. Worsted cloths were also made In
a corresponding quantity.
The business was then in its palmy
days. and continued prosperous until the
manic of 1878 when il declined not TO again
assume the old proportions until tie Nc
Kinley tariff law went into operation.
Since then IL has incre ased throughout
the country until now the 69,OOO,OOO
mounds that formerly were imported are
being manufactured here.
The English manufacturer has been
well-nigh ruined. for American manu-
facturers of wersted cloths now purchase
American instead of English yarns as
heretofore The English have lost a
market and Mckinley has made "a new
one for our manufacturers.
There is promise of vast increase in
the manufacture of such yarns in this
state to an extent that will surpass the
business done in the prosperous days or
twenty years ago The fulilment OF the
promise depends on the result of the
Presidential election and whether the
provisions of the Mckinley tariff law are
to be kept in operation.
IL is said that our manufacturers who
are now engaged in the business are
planning TO erect larger mills 10 be In
operation in tue spring should the Re
publican party elect Mr.. Harrison, with
the assurance that the tariff idea IS not
TO be abandoned.
IL the tariff should be abandoned be-
cause of the election OF Mr.. Cleveland. no
such increase in business will be under
taken.
In some instances new mills are
now being erected, the plans of which
will be enlarged If the election re
turns show Republican vicl ory. aud
mills now being erected for certain other
purposes will then be adopted for the
business of manufacturing worsted yarns.
The new building of the Valley w orsted
Mill the foundation OF which In now be
ing laid, Is an illustration OF this state
ment. Should the election assure the
manufacturers that the business is To be
successful, it will be adapted for an in
crease Of machinery, otherwise the build
ing will be of proportions only fo- the
present needs aud not to enlarge it's ca
pacity.

argument, to have any force, or logical
weight to it, must be promised upon the
assumption that an increase in the num-
beR Of retail stores increases the cost Of
merchandise to consumers and that the
greater the number Of bankers there are,
the higher the rate ofinterest upon money
is.
Right here I take issue with him and
assert that the very reverse Is true.
We are living in an era of relentless,
cruel and severe competition, in which
every avenue Of business Is crowded to
the point Of the lowest possible living
profits. The store keeper as well as the
wage worker, makes only "bare sub
slstenCe," and in the case OF countless
thousands even that bare subsistence eats
up the business capital and forces the
business man into bankruptcy. Now, if
Mr.. Brown, or any other man can demon
gtrate two facts, then l am wrong in my
contention. These two required facts
are: First-Thst competition increases
the price Of goods. SecOnd-That an in
crease In the number of stores increases
the amount Of goods consumed. ! assert
that competition lowers prices and that
the same quantity will be consumed no
matter what the number Of stores may
be.
If / am right, an increase in the num-
Der Of stores or the existence of num-
ber Of unnecessary ones does the farmer
not harm, but good, because they reduce
the price Of goods. If any one Is harmed
by an increase In the number Of stores it
IL the StorekeeperS themselves, because.
there ls q smaller amount of profit to di-
vide among larger number of store
keepers. Indirectly, the farmer Is bene-
fitted, because men who might otherwise
become farmers,or non consuming tramps
are kept in the ranks of purchasers and
consumers of the farmers produce. The
same line of argument will apply with
equal force to bankers.
/ submit the fact that Mr.. Brown Is
fully answered. GEO. G. WARD.
