where the parade disbanded.
While the line of the parade was banked OF
either side with crowded masses from th
starting point from Park Plaza to the dis
banding point at the University place, The
greatest plumbers congregated in Madison
square, Union square and Washington
square. The west side of Fifth avenue a
Madison square was occupied by an immens'
stand with $500 seats. OF these 800 seat
were reserved for reporters and each seat wa
furnished with writing desk.
Opposite was a stand that seated 6,000 per

CARLISLE CORNERED.
WAGES IN THE COTTON MILLS
AT FALL RIVER.
The sIcKinicy Tarin Bilf Had the En"e'
OF Raising Wages while Mt the same
Time the Consumer is Getting the
Benefit OF Lower Prices

Senator Carlisle, in reply to Senator
Aldrich, declared that in fifteen
..highlv protected industries" wages
had fallen since the passage of the
Mckinley act IAN average of s9-loo OF
/ per cent" Among the protected
industries named by him was cotton
manufactures. Now, Fall River Is the
largest cotton manufacturing center
in the United States. If there has been
any reduction of wages in the cotton
mills the operatives employed IN this
town are not aware of it, says Tan
River correspondent
There are in Fall River siSty-seyen
factories. nearly all of them being cot
ton mills, with LAG looms and s'ioo,-
600 spindles. These mills use 26o, 800
bales of cotton annually. For the
operatives there is a payroll Of sl5i,-
sos weekly. or ss,034, eco annually.
About ses. .l53. 900 has been invested in
the mills Fall River produces in the
course of year cotton goods worth
SCI, 900. 600. It manufactures annually
6os. $50, 900 yards of cloth. The city
contains one-sixth of all the spindles
IN tine L nlNeu states anu AAA+AAA t+Aah = 80 -
over tvo-thirds OF the domestic print
cloths. II the chief industry Of such q
city, employing 80, $50 men and women
in its mills, We're depressed and its mill
hands suffering from a reduction OF
wages and an increase in the cost Of
living, as senator Carlisle asserts there
would naturally be outward signs Of
the prevailing distress. The most in
dustrious and fanatical tariff reiurmer
will fail to find here any indications Of
that sort. All the superficial evidence
points in the opposite direction, The
mill operatives are well paid and pros
porous. and instead Of having had their
wages reduced, have virtually had
them advanced within a month. The
mills are in full operation and their
owners are enjoying exceptional pros
perity.
The manufacturing business q the
city is expanding under the influence
of the Mckinley tariff. Investors are
building new mills and increasing the
number of their spindles. The only
dark cloud in the Fall River sky is the
avowed determination Of the Demo
cratic party to sweep away the Ameri-
can protective system and 10 substitute
