COTTON MILL SITUATIoN.-T. JEFF
ferson Coolidge. treasurer of the Amos
keag mills of Manchester, has returned
to Boston from q trip to Florida. He
says of the general mill situation
'On the maintenance of the reduc.
ton in wages depends the existence OF
the New England mills, and striking
against reduction is mistake on the
part Of the operatives, who are attempt
ing to kill the goose that lays the
golden egg. If the mill hands desire
to be out Of employment. they are TAX
ing the right course in striking.
"Nearly all of the southern mills are
prosperous. The biggest mills are
earning large dividends, but are rarely
paying 6 per cent, as they are reserv-
ing their excess profits to increase their
quick capital.
1.-THE southern mills get some advan-
tage from cheap coal and cheaper cot
ton, but the wage qoestion is the
greatest factor in their favor. If it
were not for the lower wages paid in the
South, our mills could compete with
them without trouble.
Southern mills, having been built
later, are superisr to the average
northern mill. The best southern
operatives turn out just as much work
as the northern operatives, and are
just as intelligent"

rotary of the Treasury, are now paraded
in the newspapers in connection with
the recently detected Grabble swindie'

few men can tell. When the highest
officers in every branch OF the govern

OF rascality, and, though those charges
are not disproved, continue to receive
the obeisance of the people, why should
q wonder be made of the fact that men

the idea that if other men can rob all

certainly be allowed to rob few with
