turned from the east According to the
Journal he says The war interiersa With
ell lines oil business. Manufacturers say
they have not made any money for three
years, and many factories are shut down.
They say there is two much machinery.
Improvements made in the last few
years do away with more aud more hands.
The manufacturers are asking for freer
trade and an enlarged market The next
move icf tariff revision will come along
the line OF less restrictions on trade, and
extension OF trade. We cannot compete
