The oo-No1HlNe CONGRESS.
Trade and Industry Checked by the Stas.-
nant ReDublic..ns.


The American Textile Journal has
compiled the replies to 500 inquiries
sent to manufacturers of wool. The
replies show few mills closed, few
working on short time, but q large ma
Jority open and running on full time.
The statistics refute the calamity howl
that has recently been raised about
the wooden industry. There is no evil
dence of the cyclone that Senator Haw-
ley said had struck the WOODEN industry,
although the depression in the business
is apparent In the WOODEN cloth mills
1865 out of 1852 looms are in opera
ton In dress goods 1883 out of 3,OII
looms are in operation. In carpets, L.
SOP out of 1926 looms are going. In
blankets and f1annels 1850 out OF ,46a
looms are in operation
In carpets and f1annets the proper
ton of idle looms is less than the pro
portion in dress goods and cloth. 1t
is worthy of attention that this condi-
ditiOn of affairs has come about since
the meeting of the republican congress-
Prior to the assemblage of congress the
wooden industry in this country was
specially active. In the year 1895 over
s0O, 1000, 900 pounds of imported wool was
Used in American mills, more than in
the preceding year under the Mckinley
aw. The first year of the Wilson law
saw more wool consumed by the Amer
,can mills than ever before The IN
employed were absorbed from the high
ways, and set to work in wealth-prc-
aucing industry. More American goods
we're made by American workingmen
than ever before. There had been many
wage advances and the tendency was to
higher rates.

of ex-Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts

tracted any special attention outside the state
While greatly appreciate the compliment o.
an Endorsement by my state. am not seeking

On the contrary, 1 have already earnestly re-
queSted that such movement be made il

is that it is all important that when the Chi

absolutely free to deliberate and act clear o.
all instructions or pledges Of even expressed
preferenceS-at least SO far as am concerned

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-04-30

The meeting of the republican con-
gress checked this condition of pros
perity. Business became dull. The
threat Of a ripping up of the tariff by
the houses, and the threat of free ST.
yer bill by the senate made the trade
cautious and made capital extremely
shy. The lack of demand Tor goods was
felt by the manufacturers Business
suffers from the threats OF disturbance.
If looms are idle, and if there is a hand
to-mouth business done in woolens, the
responsibility for it should not be mis-
placed. The people should not forget
the part played by the clustering,
wrangling, threatening congress. The
longer congress is in session the more
unfavorabIe are the business reports.
Congress is menace to business. 1t is
incompetent TO do good. Its capacity
for DONG harm is tica OBJ

sition. Conventions have now been
