At Many Points.
The period of better times which has
now set in and which is being fully
demonstrated by q series of reports
from all sections of the union prepared
by the Terti1 World, a non-partisan
trade publication, affords an eloquent
reply to the puerile arguments made
by Gov. Mckinley in his opening speech
for the republicans at Bangor, Me- On
that occasion the apostle of high pro-
lection, in referring to the democratic
tariff bill. propounded three questions:
First, Whose factories will this bill set
to work? Second. Win it increase the
demand for labor at home? Third,
Will it start single new factory at
home?

/ to the business of the textile industries,

cies throughout the United States, and
