The Glassboro Enterprise, one of
our county papers that prophesied
prosperity if Taft was elected. says
of this county's great manufacturing
industry
Several more men were laid off
from the amber house at the Whitney
glass works, Glassboro, last Saturday
might. There is no denying the fact
that the glass business is duller than
it has been for years and from what
we can learn the future prospect is
anything but encouraging. There
are several things that enter into the
business that has brought about this
condition. The country is passing
through a business depression, which
naturally affects the glass trade as it
has nearly all other industries; the
output of glass has been greater than
the demand for some time and conse-
quently nearly every factory has a
large surplus on hand, a great deal of
it carried over from last year. In
many factories blowing machines
have been installed, throwing many
II. No
chimes turn out more ware and make
it cheaper than by hand
The temperance wave that is sweep
ing the country has had some effect
in restricting the demand for beers
and TASKS, though we do not believe
to as large an extent as some would
make it appear. The pure food law
which is being rigidly enforced is a
factor that must not be overlooked.
All bottles used for food, medicines,
etc. must carry on the label formI-
Ia of the contents and there is no
question but what this has curtailei
the sale of great many preparations
and had detrimental effect upon the
glass industry
We had the business depression
before election, and the blowing mach
ines, the temperance wave, the pure
food law, just as we have now, yet
nor till business actually stopped did
the prosperity mongers acknowledge
that Protection don't Drotecs nor Re-
.nuhlican Presidents make Prosperity.
The people are learning lesson.
