A GREAT BrG SCARE

According 70 Republican prognos.i-
cationo, the manufacturing industries
of ihe country should sow be in the
last throes OF dissolution, A Demo
cratic Congress is il power---a Con-
grcss pledged to the most sweeping
reductions in customs duties. in the
line Of tariff for revenue only, and TO
placing the principal necessaries of
life on the free list--and Democratic
president stands ready to approve their
action. A tariff reform bill, drastic
and radical in its leading features, has
been agreed upon by the majority OF the
congressional committee having that
matter in charge. There is hardly
any question but that, within two or
three months at most, the Mckinley
law viii be thing OF the past and the
Democratic tariff reform measure will
have become the law Of the land.
According TO the high tax calamity
shriekcrs, therefore, we ought to find
all manufacturing establishments
closed down and capital fighting shy
OF all investments which, if "protec-
ZIONIST" ideas be sound, are bound to
be OF so disastrous character.
What do we findf Instead OF shut
ting down, the manufacturing estab-
-
lishments Of the country are o. ening
u instead of becoming discouraged
they are showing more hope, elasticity
and promise every day. Instead of
becoming timid and holding back,
capital is recovering from the terrible
shock to financial confidence resulting
from last summers panic and is re-
Stunning its normal activities in our
Eastern States.
Several days ago we noted the re-
sumption OF business by several OF the
leading iron foundries OF Pennsylvania.
The same is true in other eastern
States OF other industries such as
leather and Its manufactures, ma
chinery, all iron and steel products
and various fabncs and articles of
wearing apparel. For instance, the
last Issue OF the "Dry Goods Econo.
mist" gives list OF the wooden and
cotton mills which have reopened since
the Democratic tariff bill was adopted
by the majority of the ways and means
committee. From this list, which
represents the confidence OF the in
dustrial interests of this country in
the Democratic tariff policy, we ex
tract the following notes:
The Aramingo cotton mills. Phila-
delphis, have resumed operations.
The Greylock cotton mills, North
Adams, Mass, have started running
full time.
The Dyersville manufacturing com
pany, Providence, X. l., has started up
after l6 weeks cessation.
j. NJ. Adams has started up the Ar
cola wooden mills, 22-set plant, at
Manayunk, Pa.
The Baltic WOODEN mills Of Fitch
burg. Mass. are to be moved to En-
field, N. H., and 40 looms added.
The Germania mills of Holyoke,
Mass, win put in new steam dying
plant with dyeing machinery.
Randolph & jerks cotton and car
pet yarn mill at Manayunk, Pa, and
Samuel Whites Centennial carpet
mill at Philadelphia have started up.
The Brookside manufacturing com
pany OF Lenni Mills, Pa, has bought
part of the machinery Of the Rose
Valley company's mills at Medina and
will add il to their plant.
The Caryville, Mass, wooden mills,
Geo w. 0lney,s flannel mill mt Cherry
Valley, Mass, and the Etna Wooden

Stafford Springs, Conn, a 6 set cassi-
mere mill has resumed operations:
also the Warren Wooden company
and the Mineral Springs manufactur-
ing company at the same place.
The Capital City Wooden Mills Of
Des Moines. Ia, are building an add.
ton TO their factory for the purpose
o; manufacturing trousers and other
clothing from their own cassimefes.
The new cotton factory being built
ut Harmony grove, near Atlantis, Ga,
Is approaching completion aud will
contains 2,OS5 spindles and 60 looms
and will make goods OF the best grades.
This is only one weeks showing OF
the restoration Of confidence in the
industrial enterprise, and as the Spnk-
ane Chronicle says, truly the Demo
cratic tariff reform is sending the
country TO the everlasting smash-up.
