to either close their factories or reduce the
wages of their employees. it is also true
that the placing OF coal and raw materi-
ais upon the free list will probably he a
greater hcnctit to the manufacturers of
New England than to those OF any other
section OF the country. We do not mean
to imply that the benefit will offset the
loss, but simply that it will make the
blow here less grevous in some particu-
lars than it is elsewhere. The fact that
the coming changes have already forced
many of our manufacturers to reduce
their wages, to which they have SO long
referred with pride as kting the highest
paid in the world. s in itself a matter OF
regret for which there can be no adequate
compensation.
However great or however small the
changes may be, there can be no doubt
and 1t IS to this that we wish particularly
to call attention, that New England will
survive them. Ever since the foundation

have been as futile us they have been
foolish From all such insidious attacks
New England has uniformly emerged
triumphant, and her factories. her pro-
duets, her wealth and her cities and
towns have kept on growing in a way
that has surprised the whole world. She
has within her an energy and a rcCupcr-

There is much to indicate that the fu-
turc OF New England, as soon as bust
ness is again firmly established, is to be
exceptionally bright In he first place,

our Owners OF capital that New +. gland
