there Is an exception 10 the rule, but the
general tendency Is TO spend all that Is
earned. That, Of course. is beneficial TO
general business. When labor finds plenty
OF employment the country is prosperous.
Anything that tends to bring about that
result is for the good OF the whole. He
believed that protection was the most
powerful factor in this respect. Mr. Psr
kins said II pity the laboring man in
his present condition. He can't starve.
He must work and there is little TO do.
That is tho reason why labor is cheap at
tho present time. Now. IL American
products are protected and the output OF
foreign cheap labor is kept out of the
country tho American workmen will be
benefited and the country will return TO
prosperity. This has been demonstrated
in the past and 10 will be seen' again.

Mr. Royal G. Taft of the Bernon Mills
Company said that the tariff had very
little effect on the cotton product Such
effect as 10 had. however, was beneficial
to certain extent To those who worked
in the cotton mills. Generally speaking

GOOD FOR ALL HANDS.

Mr.. j. X. III. Nightingale, treasurer OF
the Nightingale Mills, smiled when asked
about tariff ana protection, but he SAID
that he had always believed that what
was good for the manufactures was good
for the laborer, and he believed that such
a measure as was now under consideration
would benefit his employees. There may
be other measures equally as good Tor
trade, but those In force during the recent
years, experience has taught Us, are of lit
tie value The efficacy of Tree trade has
not been demonstrated and he believed II
never could be in this country.
Mr.. Jeffrey Hazard remarked that II was
quite a question 60 talk about OF hand.
He wasn't prepared to state what he
Thought about il, but If all the gentle
men Tne News had seon were about the
same as unanimous on the question, he
thought they must be right and that pro-
lection was for the best interests OF
American workmen. lie thought there
was no question about that. anyway.
Mr.. Charles Il. Longley Is absent from
the city but MIR. Scott vice president
OF the j. B. Barnaby corporation said that
Mr.. Longley's views wsre practically as
follows: Under the present system cheap
goods and cheap prices prevailed. The
cheapness was TO the disadvantage OF the
buyer or customer. Manufacturers are
making goods thar are a little better than
worthless. They are making them because
they feel obliged TO under tho present con-
dition of things. There is no economy In
that sort of thing aud all concerned in
this particular business desire sons
thing different. They believe that a pro-
tectiye tariff will bring about the desired
change. Then the buyer would get much
better goods for slight advance Busi-
ness would Improve and the labor en-
ployei would be better paid.

BADLY SCARED IN GERMANY.

A gen ,leman who has made study of
the problem OF free trade aud protection
has just returned TO this city after pro-
tracted soJourn abroad. In an interview
with The News representative he said
1.-The people OF Germany arc scared to
death over the American tariff. They be.
lieve that IL is the death blow of prosper
ity III the Fatherland and they are look
ing forward TO enforced idleness Just as
soon as tax will be levied on the goods
they send into this country. They want
free trade, not for the benefit of the Ameri.
can citizen. but for the swelling of their
own purses. This fear of the result of tho
tariff bill Is widespread all over industrial
Europe"
The language Of Rhode Island Is the
hum of her machinery, was tho telling
and felicitous remark of Governor Dyer To
tho Pan-American visitors a few weeks
ago
A community in which such n language
In current is OF necessity an industrial
center, therefore the question of protection
Is vital one to the laboring men Of this
Stata.
With that idea in view. representatives
OF Tho News called upon some of the
prominent manufacturers of this city and
vicinity to ascertain their opinion Of the
effect upon the great body OF laborers in
this locality should tho tariff bill, now
under consideration by Congress. pass

AN UNANSwERABLE ARGUMENT.

'AThe argument is unanswerable. said
Mr.. Henry A. DuNiliard, treasurer of
the Granger Foundry and Machine Com
pany. Protection makes the condition of
the laboring man in this country ind
nitely better than it is in any other coun-
try. Under IL he gets more money for his
labor and he onn purchase more for his
money. This has been demonstrated be-
youd peradventure. This very distinction
between the laborer of this country and
his fellow of countries across tho water is
what makes the mechanic the artisan
and the common laborer so much better
off In Amerioa than anywhere else. And
the distinction Is due to protected indus
tries.
Mr. Harvey r. Wellman, tho lumber
commission dealer, speaking in reference
TO the tariff on lumber and tho effect 1t
would have on that branch of industry in
the state, said that II was of little con
sequence. as the protection on lumber
was slight. AS "a matter of fact Ii did hot
make any difference one way or another
either to the dealer or the laDorer. There
ought not to have been any change from
tho tariff ms il existed before tho Wilson
bill. Ii was we'll enough then

EOUALIZE COST OF LABOR.

Gen. William Ames secretary and
treasurer of the Fletcher Manufacturing <
Company on Charles street, said that all
we needed was "A protective tariff that
would allow this country TO produce
goods so they could be- sold against tho
product OF the lowest competing country.
The tariff equalized the cost of labor with
tho lowest competing countries and tb at
solved che problem. Such being the fact,
protection is for the benefit of the labor
ing man, as 1t allows manufacturers TO
pay the increased cost of labor In this
country. The margin of cost of produc-
tion because Of labor in this country pre-
vents successful competition with cheap
labor in other countries Therefore, pro
lection is needed for the equalization Of
LABOR with our foreign competitors. That.
Mr.. Ames believed. epitomized the entire
subject.
Secretary Holbrook of the Gorham
Manufacturing Company, stated that the
tariff bin now before Congress did not
affect their business TO any extent as tho
advance on the product of their manuiac-
ture was slight and did not have any aP-
preciablo effect one way or another. The
proposed change was not asked for by the
silyersmiths of the country and whether
the law is passed in its resent shape or
not labor would not be materially affected

Col. ID. NJ Thompson, president and

that while the new tariff, when it comes
from the conference committee, may not
be all that rad boon expected at tie be-
ginning OF the preparation OF the Dlngley
bill yet it can but prove of great benefit

outlook for n protective tarif has
started all the mills in Olneyyllle.
There are more than 5000 mill workers
In the community and they are now all
employed where short time ago they
We're all practically idle. What greater
argument in favor of protection is needed
aud what greater force Is necessary to
convince any one of sense that labor is
the most interested in protection because
IL gets the greatest benefit. Protection
was made for the benefit of the workman
of all degrees Of skill. Why. it is az plain

Mr.. X III. Dcming president OF the

ioned saying that money talks. During
tho Harrison administration English cap
ital was sent into this country To invest in
manufacturing enterprises. The English
men We're satisfied that protection meant
profit TO labor and capital As soon as
Cleveland was elected the foreign enter
prise was abandoned in this country.
They knew that under free trade they
were just as well off at home as they
would be here. No better argument can
be used in favor of protection than the
fact that foreign competitors arc scared
TO death about tho matter. We do not
suffer so much from the competition from
England as we do from Germany. We can
not compete with the long hours Of labor
in that country and il that product is
