CLOSING THE MILLS.

We note with a mixture Of sur
prise and regret that the cotton man.
ufacturers of New England are maxi
ing preparations on very large scale
for very @cold". summer 80 far as
trade is concerned. They are maxi
ing arrangements for An extensive
shut down during June and July.
and it is thought that all the larger
mills will come to al agreement.
We note also with a mixture of sur
prise and regret that the large divi-
dends which some of the New Eng
land mills, especially those OF Fall
River, have been paying. we're ta:iel
from the surplus earnings Of the year
previous to 1898. ....
Rejecting over these things, We
ask ourselves and our readers if Mr.
Mckinley wAs dreaming when re
stood ON his am lie door mat and an
nounced K tho matitudes that, if
elected, he would @open the mills to
labor" rather than open the mints to
silver. Evidently he was not mis-
quoted. for the newspapers devoted
to hs party and to the gold standard
took up his remark and used it as a
campaign Slogan" 1t became part
of the Republican pledge. ave will
open the mills to labor was the
cry.
But now what do we scar In tile
third month Of the great Mill-open-
er's administration. and while a mill
opening tariff bill is pending, the
cotton mills of New England are pre-
pairing to close for two months, if not
for a longer period. What does that
mean? 1t was as the original ADJ
vance Agent of Prosperity, and the
great Mill-opener, that Mr.. Mckinley
was elected. Three months after he
has begun his Presidential career, we
find that prosperity refuses to ma;er-
ialize, and that the mills are actually
closing to labor.
What commentary on Republican
rule. and on the efficiency of the Re-
publican pledges! The mill owners
know that the tariff measure will
shortly become u law, and yet they
are preparing to put up their shut
tiers and turn their operatives out Oh
the commons to Craze like so many
cattle demonstrating to the whole
country their belief that tn. new lar
iff bill. which they were so anxious 10
-ses put in operation. is a huge fraud
on the public.
Thus, instead of "opening mills to
labor" the Republican party is
actually engaged in closing them.
Meanwhile, though the whole country
knows that the Republican admiuis-
tration is n. failure before it. is fairly
begun. Mr.. Hanna is said to be en-.
gagged in opening up another cam

II believe you. And my belief is one

She halted for an instant, as il in pro-
test that the pledge had been eSacted
when she did not fully understand its
meaning, but she did not offer to turn
back. AS we strolled on, gradually
drew her into talk, and after little she
seemed to have freed herself from the
spell which had been upon her. At the
outskirts of the village we turned to the

walked slowly toward the bank Of the

the old wooden piers we could make out
the shape of yawl gliding seaward on
the ebbiIE tide. The voices of two men
on board the boat came to our ears
over the black water, in which glistened
the pin-point reflections OF the stars.
