Editorial. Comment.
Tariff, Textiles and Labor.

The following is communication
dated at Haverhill Mass, May q. and
signed f. 6. Il. Gordon and which ap-
peared in the Boston Herald under the
above head:
A recent press item from Providence
states that the American Wooden Com
pany will close part of their mills
each week, throwing 5000 people into
idlenesS two days a week or more. Yes
terday there were published reports
from several cotton mill centres stat
ing that curtailment would take place
and that the great Amoskeag company
of Manchester was closed for five days
For some time there has been more or
less curtailment in the southern mills.
The reason given for this industrial
depression is lack of orders When
the fiscal year ends June 80 we shall
find that foreign importation of tex
tile goods will reach into the enor-
nous sum of not less than $4,000 ,00f
and may reach $500, ,000, 600. Second. we
are rapidly losing our Chinese trade in
cotton goods. due to the fact that the
japanese are competing the life out of

shortly come when we will have to
revise the tariff on cotton upwards or
lose a part of the home market which
we now enjoy. The present tariff on
Gotten goods is not enough to retain
the home market against II cents a
day labor. In this connection we
should remind ourselves that the vear
preceding our last business panic we
imported over $4,000 900 of textile
goods. What effect such huge impor-
tation had in aiding to produce the
panic, perhaps largely causing it. may
be best understood by the unprejudiced
thinker who realizes the great loss tC

through the sending out of the coun-

and the loss of wages on the other.
