TOE. WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

GREETING:
We. the undersigned, merchants of Au-
gusta, Me-, having used the Cash Pur-
chase Coupons for the past year in our
business, take pleasure in saying that
their use has proved attractive to the
people encouraging our own customers TO
pay cash, and bringing a considerable
percentage of new cash trade to our
stores. We consider the system a sue
cess, and have renewed our contracts for
the coming year. We also desire to say
that several hundred dollars have been
paid to the people who use the coupons.
principally in orders on our own stores,
and to the best of our knowledge and be-
lief every premium has been promptly
paid when due and called for. We have
found the Cash Purchase Ad Co honor
able and square in the conduct of their
business.

The newspapers are constantly report
ing news Of the transferring OF large for
elgn manufacturing plants from Europe
to this country. attracted by our GUS
toms policy and the growing indication
that the United States is destined to rule
the world as a manufacturing as well as
an agricultural nation. The latestlevl-
dence OF this fact is the announce
mem that another silk man
ufacturing firm Of England Is
about to locate in New Jersey.
Our attention is called 20 the following
dispatch In the New York Daily Dry
Goods Record;
PAsSAIC, MAJ, Nov, ga. W. Pier
son & Co., large manufacturers from
SOUTHPORT, England, have rented the big
mill at Athemar, on the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western railroad, just outside
the city limits, Pierson & Co. are mi
facturers OF silk and plush. They have
been in business In England for years
and have always had a large sale in this
country, The provisions OF the Dingley
tariff raised the duty IN their grods and
they have decided to move near New
York. Machinery is on the way and Will
be installed in the mills this week. They
expect 10 be in full operation by January
l. Employment will be given at first to
about 500 hands.
The statement OF the reason for this
action of the English manufacturers is
significant. While II is building up the
industries we have. the tariff law is fore
ing many enterprises TO this side of the
Atlantic, where they will give employ
meAt to American labor and help to de-
velop our industrial Money
which formerly went abroad for these
products will be spent In this country.
That Is the best OF IT.

We do not need Mr.. Forgey's tabulated
statement to show us these things. We
all know the city finances are In a very
bad way and that the City Hall crowd
are after more money to spend and In the
meantime they want TO cover up their
maladministration by r%efundlng their
W shortages along with the rest OF the
debt and to stop payment on the princi-
pal Of the whole for ten years, In order
that they may get at the money we are
now paying toward reducing the princl-
pal.-Reglster.
Certainly you have no need for the off,
cial figures which disprove your mere
assertions. The charge of maladminls-
tratlon and shortages made the other
day BY you was promptly nailed and a
demand made upon you to make 1t good,
and you have produced not one single
fact to substantiate It. The repetition Of
a falsehood does not convince the public
agnins, arguments taken from the re-
cords.
