Mr. Robert Bleakie. the Hyde Park
manufacturer, says:-I am well pleased
with the tariff bill just passed as affect
ing woods and woolens. AS result OF
this bill I predict a degree of prosperity
permanent and lasting to New England's
wooden industry. And this because we
will now get our raw material upon the
worlds market value. placing us upon a
level, for producing results, with our
foreign competitors, and with the further
safeguard of protection In an ad valorem
duty of 40 to so per cent. upon the out
put of our mills
81 feel sure that within three years
from the enactment of the present bill
public opinion will have SO changed from
the beneficial effects that will be apparent
that it will be difficult. to find woolen
manufacturer in the country who will
not be convert to the new order OF
things. This is substantially all l wish
to say, but do want it distinctly under
stood that / am thoroughly satisfied with
the consideration the industry l am en-
gagged in has received.
Regarding the Tariff bill as whole,
many things can be taken exception to-,
is all we ought to expect considering the
diversity of interests represented IN our
halls of legislation Therefore let US
be encouraged and hold on to what is
good in the present bill, hoping in the near
future to correct what is not acceptaole
to us now
Treasurer o. H. Perry of the Middle
sex Mills says

Further than this Mr.. Perry had no
opinions to offer.
Mr.. Amory Mannard, selling agent OF
the Assabet Mills, said

have had few months of it.

close to meet the foreign competition
