NEW INDusTR1Es

In his address at the dedication of the
mammoth new mill of the Berkshire Cot
ton Manufacturing company at Adams,
asst week Wednesday, Gov. William Nc
Kinlcy, Jr., had the proud satisfaction o.
saying:
The business of the Democrats is to pre-
dict failure; but not a failure followed their
predictions. They predicted failure to the
Tariff law OF 1890. They assaulted it when
i,sel,. It is two years old tomorrow, but
now old enough to speak. This mill. and
thousands of Others in the United States,
are doing it. What do you think of the
leaders OF party that 20 about discourage
ing American Industries? call them enc
mics of the public.
In no respect has the Nc Kinley law vim
dictated more thoroughly the confident
claims of the Republican statesmen of 1890,
who framed and enacted it than in the en-
argement of American industry and the
increased employment thereby given to
American labor aud capital.
The new mill of the Berkshire Cotton
Manufacturing company, at Adams. MasA,
is one OF a thousand concerns which illus
trate the beneGcent operations of the Nc
Kinley law during the two years which
have elapsed since it was placed upon the
statute books by the signature Of President
Harrison on Oct. g. 1880.
New industries have been established on
American soil as the result OF the Mckinley
law: n-plate; pearl button; plush. But
it is in the extension ofindustries that had
already been established that the Mckinley
law has been of especial benefit to Aneri-
can labor and capital. Week after week
and month alter month, durin.
the past year or more cotton,
wooden and other textile manufac-
cries have been opened until the news of
strio ino ~ oil OF <rf ho
Mckinley law has becO as familiar as an
oft-told tale. and the monotony is only
broken occasionally by a demonstration
such as that which marked last W edn esday
at Adams, Mass.
To what extent the development of Amer
lean industry now in progress is being car
ried is not reallzad by the average Ameri-
can citizen; and the record when com piled
by the week or the month Is not only sur
prising in its proportions, but absolutely
startling.
Taking the single line of manufacturing
the textile-suggested by the Adams ad-
dress OF the author OF tho Mckinley law
the results are both numerous and signif-
cant. In single issue of the Textile REQ
ord covering the month of August We
Gull these items from the trade notes:
''The Fulton worsted mills of Oswego,
N. Y, are adding fftylooms to their plant,
making 156 in all. Contracts have
been signed for the erection of large

manufactures diagonals, kerseys, chin

its capacity this fall. The mill building
is 257 BY 50 feet one-story brick. -
