NEw YoKK, August 22.-The best
judges Of what the Mckinley bill is do
ing for the industries Of the United
States are the manutacturers-the men
who are unable to compete with the for
eigners and keep their employees busy
week in and week out, at remunerative
wages. One Of these men 10 Lucius n.
Littauer, the head OF an extensive glove
manufacturing business in Gloversyille,
NY.
Mr.. Littauer was a Democrat for years
and contributor to Che party. He has
changed front, and in a letter to the
chairman Of the Republican national
committee declares his intention of vot-
ing for Harrison and Reid and protec-
ton and reciprocity.
81 am wholly conversant," he said In
his letter, with every phase OF our
glove industry, and can vouch for the
fact, as can every glove manufacturer
who will give his honest opinion, that
never, during the past twelve years,
has there been such prosperity in our
trade in any two years as during the
two Just past.
1--WE have not received higher prices
for our manufactured articles, nor has
our percentage OF profits increased. On
the contrary, competition among our
selves has reduced the price of gloves,
until to-day We produce better gloves
for less money than was ever before
known in the history OF the trade.
81 am informed by the custom house
officials that the decrease OF importa-
ton OF fine gloves since the Mckinley
tariff went. into effect has been 100000
dozens for the past year. Without such
information, we positively know that
our own production of gloves OF this
class has virtually doubled within two
years.
Mr.. Littauer says Unsupported Cleve-
land in 1884, and again in 1888, but can
not remain in the Democratic party, as
twas opposed to the best interests OF
the country.
Chairman Carter and Secretary Nc
Comas were the only members OF the
executive committee on duty at head
quarters. They were busy until well
along in the afternoon. It said that
the advisory committee will be COM
pleted this week. Among the we'll
known Republicans who are said to be
selected are Hamilton Disston, OF Phil
adelphia; General Felix Agnus, of Bal
timore; Senator Philetus Sawyer, Of
Wisconsin, and B. F. Jones, Of Pitts
burgh.
THE PosTsfAsTERs CHAT TOGETHER
Ex-First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Adlai E. Stevenson had long talk
with the other ex-postotfice officials in
Democratic national headquarters yes
terday. He expressed some regret that
the campaign committee had not taken
headquarters on Third avenue or Sixth
avenue or one OF the side streets. The
Fifth avenue idea was little too high
toned for the common people, and he
thought it would hurt the party. But
Adlai was assured that the Democratic
party was no longer workingman's
party. It had its millionaires by the
dozen and even the gross, and some
thing had to be done with them. Law
Partner Ewing and Captain Stevenson,
relative, were the candidates. COM
panions during the day.
WILL OIL THE MACHINE
The local Democratic machine will be
oiled up and got ready for campaign
work tomorrow afternoon. Chief
Engineer Richard Croker and the
thirty district engineers will meet in
the machine shop on Fourteenth street
TO, discuss the question OF fuel, etc.
The lists of inspectors on election and
poll clerks that have been fled with the
Commissioners of police will be ex-
amined. 1t was said yesterday that
there might be some talk about the
coming municipal election. Nearly
every Tammany man who knows show
things are running believes Mayor
Grant stands good chance Of being re-
nominated. Mr.. Croker has been at
Rlchfeld Springs during the summer.
He lives in style there and has enter.
tanned many Of his friends.
AFRAID OF THE FARMERS.
The story that the Farmers Alliance
issoing to open eastern campaign head
quarters in this city and make a fight
TO capture the old Henry Georgeites,
caused some little alarm among the
Democratic leaders Of this city. In
several Of the districts there are a num-
berot diacontented men who are ready
TO break away from Tammany as soon
rs an opportunity offers. Many OF the
old County Democracy men are anxious
to fall in behind any leader who is
ready to fight for votes among the Tam
manyites. A Tammauy man said yes
terday that the Peoples party move
ment would not take more than ten
thousand votes from the Wigwam or
raniZation at best. The County DEM
ocracy estimate was double that figure.
sPooNER CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
Ex-senator John Q. spooner, who
was renominated for governor Of Wis
! cousin last week has gone to join his
family in Nantucket He passed
through this city and stopped, off long
enough to consult with Chairman Car
ter. He said he had q hard fight ahead
Of him. The people Of Wisconsin be.
l:eye in Protection and honest money,
he said, and would vote to sustain the
partythat advocated them. Mr.Spooner
hopes TO win.
