WILL STAND NO MORE.
The New Bedford Mill Employees Vii! Not Stan
Another Reduction.

New BEDFORD, Arril "a In view of
the action of Fail River manufacturers in
reducing the wages of operatives 10 per
cent, feeling of upeasiness, today, pre-
walls among the textile operatives of this
city. 1t has always been customary for
the Massachusetts manufacturers, outside
Of Fall River, TO be guided III almost all
matters, especially those bearing on the
wage question, by the Fall River Textile
magpates.
Consequently a reduction in wages is
likely in this city, and if it does come, :,
general strike is assured, the operatives in
most of the local mills feeling that they are
already down to the last notch. They are
prepared to make Il bold stand if further at
tempts ut wage cutting are practiced.
1t is almost an assured fact that should a
portion Of the local manufacturers signify
their intention Of following in the footsteps
of Fall River, they will meet opposition
from the other manufacturers, who, at
present, are of the opinion that unless fur
ther provocation in the form of stagnant
business arises, the wages of help should
not, and will not, with their consent, b :,
reduced.
Union operatives claim that before they
will submit t. anything like another rednc-
ton they will drink their treasures dry
The Wamsutta mill strike n ow bids fair to
last all summer.

THE pEorL:s' HOMES.
Mr.. Sherman Objects to Adverse Legislation
TO Our Building associations.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The finance
commit ee of the Senate, today entered
upon desultory consideration of the tariff
bill, the income tax feature taken up by
Sherman, who, tits said, pointed out the
danger in this tax which levied tribute
upon the building associations of the
country, snd advised the Democratic MEM
bers to protect these Institutions by some
amendment better than they had inserted,
an amendment that would protect all
shareholders and maintain bona tide build
ing associations, where the working people
deposited their wages for future homes,
free from the gatherer of the income tax.
1t was admitted that there might be dan
ger as the till is now drawn, but no agree
ment was reached, though it was tacitly un
derstood that when the proper time came
an amendment covering the points made by
Sherman would be introduced. This will
probably result in the substitution of the
House provision in this respect.

the TARIFF DEBATE.
Senator Nj Is Argues in Fsvlr Of Bill asd
Denounces Protection.

WAsHINGtoN, April 2i.-lu the Senate,
the tariff bill wss taken up, and Mills ar
Rued in support of it. Mills said that Great
Britain imported wheat from all the coun.
tries of the world. She imported 81 per
cent. of her wheat from the United States
aad would gladly take the whole of its sup
ply from the United States were il net that
the American tariff Put stop TO importa-
tions of Eng.ish manufactured goods. Ii
the Republic ans wanted reciprocity " by not
join with the Democrats and try 10 Ct
reciprocity with Great Britsiu. The L nit d
States, by putting duty of 20 or 25 per
cent. on cotton and woolen goods and iron
and steel, could find profitable market for
all the surplus wheat in Great Britain alone
and that was where real reciprocity lay.
Mills asserted that American labor was
the cheapest in the world, the poores, paid
n proportion TO what it produced 4 given
thing in manufacture being produced
oh aper in the United States than anywhe C
el.e on earth. Mills quoted from a speech
of Mr.. Blaine to the effect that tariff W: &
"a question of labor, from skin TO core,
and from the core back 10 the skin again,
and asked why only a small part of the duty
on manufactured articles went TO the labor
ers. He asked why, if the tariff, as the
protectionists claimed, reduced prices in the
United States, free ira 'e reduced them in
Great Britain, and asserted that prices were
brought down everywhere BY improved meth
ods of production, machinery and invcn-
tions.
He declared that the American workmen
could only be protected by finding constant
employ ment, and he could only find con
staut employment when the ro'ucts sold
at the lowest possible cost, aud their cost
could only be low when taxes VI re r, moved
from all materi lis of manufacture. Speak
ing of the Income tax Mills asked why
should not wealth be taxed. OF all the
rights he sal J. that depended for protection
III on associated power, property was the
most dependent. All taxes should be as.
:, ssed in proportion to the ability Of the
taxpayer top,y, and in prop ortion to tn,
property he had to be protected.
/ In conclusion Mills said: eve must
pass this bill We must stop this busines,
of continually talking about IT and pass it
| The people passed upon the question OF
taxation in 1892. They dill not send u,
here to near arguments in new trial, bu
sent US here to execute tn ir Judgment, tC
drive the protectionist criminals out of th,
country, and to restore prosperity anC
bring the country back to the enjoyment OF
its natural rights. 1t is our duty so to alter
the parliamentary rules of this body tha
we can close debate and bring this matter
to an issue. do not care What are th,
traditions of this body as to free debate"
There was applause as Mills concluded
ane he received many congratulations from
his own side. The Senate went into execu
tive session and afterwards adjourned.

for its existence except as a bedroom
for New York. On the contrary, Jer-
sey City has natural advantages
which promise to make it n OF the
greatest shipping centres n the
world. We are superior to New
York in that freight can come in
on the rail right to our water front.
We are New York's equal, or are fast
approaching sc. in water front facili-
ties. But besides the future that our
railroads and our docks open up, we
have first rate prospects of becoming
a first class manufacturing city. We
have plenty of land right along the
lines of railways reaching the farthest
parts of the country. We have miles
OF vacant lots near navigable water.
New York is nea enough to afford o
market for much of u product.
Our future population, as we think,
will consist mainly OF persons engaged
in business or employed in Jersey
City itself-op our docks, on the rail
roads, or in the factories which are
already starting up upon the re-
claimed meadow lands.
The bridge is a great enterprise.
We hope to see it SO through for the
good of the country; but. SO far as
Hudson county is concerned, it is a
matter of nearly absolute indiffer-
ence. &
