About the Cotton Mills.


see in the popocratic, Respondent
press is the report Of closing cotton
mills Of New England and the occa-
sional reductions Of wages and this
when the whole country in nearly
every line Of manufacture has been
prospecting, wages advancing and bus
mess becoming better. George +.
Roberts tells in the Times-Herald why
this crisis has come about. He shows
that the south has been a region OF
cheap labor, because it was without
diversified industries to create de-
mand for labor. The class Of labor
which finds employment in the cotton
mills has been without employment
in the south. The pioneers in this
industry found this labor idle and
utilized it at low wages. They made
money and mills multiplied, and Mr..
Bryan can find no illustrations Of ca
lamity in this industry in the south.
Wages are not being reduced there.
New mills are building-the best
equipped mills in the country. There
is activity and confidence in the in
dustry there, and from insignificant
proportions 1t has grown until it
makes one-fourth OF the cotton goods
produced in the United States. 1t
can no longer be ignored. 1t has be-
come a pricemaker. The New En-
gland mills dare not curtail their
product to advance the price, for pro-
duction might 60 on and the trade
never come back. They are face to
face with new competitors. II these
were foreign competitors the tariff
might protect the home market, but
these are home competitors and there
is no recourse from the dictum that
the one producing most cheaply shall
have the business. No change in the
standard Of value upon which north
ern and southern goods are both
measured can put the former below
the latter.
II the gold standard were causing a
decline in wages its influence would
be constant from year to year and un-
form in various industries and vari-
GUS parts Of the world. 1t would not
drop suddenly off after 1892 in one
country without doing so in others,
or drop suddenly in 1898 in the cot
ton industry without dropping in
other industries.
The leaders Of organized labor can
find sufficient explanation Of this
decline in New England without at
tributing 1t to the gold standard.
They believe that organized labor OBJ
tains higher wages than unorganized
labor. The labor that is competing
with New England is unorganized. 1t
has not in tho past been factor in
the market. IL has been secured by
capital at low wages to do the work
which the organized labor Of New
England has been doing. There is
true explanation of the present crisis.
The south is experiencing wonder
full revival and the north may as well
accept the conditions soon as late.

spondent of the World. 1t was officially
announced, continues the correspond
ent. that the combined squadron at the
Cape de Verde Islands sailed today
wednesday, for a destination which
was not made public. Everybody be-
lieved that the feet was nearly across
the Atlantic, and was about to attack
United States ports. 1t was announced
officially ten days ago that the fleet mad
left for America. Afterward Admiral
Bermejo, the minister of marine, told
the public that the fleet was half way
over the ocean.
The governments deception of the
people is resented by the majority.
Although nothing is said as to the
course the Cape de Verde fleet is TAX

departure is true this time-it is left

This same deception and dilatoriness

fciency of equipment and supplies at

He ROSE TO FAME.

He was a youth of studious brain; at
school he always led
In every branch he undertook, was al
ways at the head;
And oft his teachers said to him his
brain would yet expand
Till in the gilded halls of fame he'd some
day proudly stand.
He'd read of opportunities out in the
growing west
And felt that here his talents rare would
sparkle at their best;
And hither on the wings OF hope he
proudly Dlumed his flight.
Determined he would reap rewards Just
simply out of sight
A year passed by. and back he wrote that
honor wTeathed his name,
That in the OratOric field he fast was
gaining fame
That men in every walk of life came
AOckIng up in herds
To listen 20 his gifted voice and hang
upon his words.
His parents showed that letter round the
town from dawn to dark
And everybody said they knew that Tom
would make his mark
Nor dreamed that he pursued the path
of fame for ten a week
As caller for a keno game in STORED Grip

FLEET OF PRIZE SEEKERS.
These American Liners May Eclipse
SIMPSONS Ships.

Washington, April 29.-It is entirely
possible that the operations of the
American fleet in Cuban waters in the
matter of Selling Spanish vessels will
soon be completely eclipsed by the per-
Torrance of swift ocean greyhounds re-
Gently purchased by the government
from the American line. These vessels,
st. Louis. St. Paul and Harvard, have
been fitted with armOr protection over
all their exposed machinery, and have
already received good batteries. 1t was
the intention of the department to con-
siderably supplement these batteries at
the navy yards.
1t was at first intended to equip these
vessels mere thoroughly, but this plan
has been changed, owing to the pressing
time.
No official statement can be secured
as to the destination of these splendid
and swift cruisers, bur it is rumored
that they are to head directly for the
coast of Spain, where they will lie in
wait for the Spanish prizes.
Unless the small observation force of
the Spanish in the Mediterranean is
composed of torpedo boats and Destroy
ers, is reinforced before the liners reach
the waters, they are likely to fall easy
prey to the gunners of the cruisers.
