A Near Home Example

The knitting industry, one of the leading in dustries of Litchfeld county, is today in direct competition with German made goods and even with the present tariff the bulk of the finer cotton hosiery and half hose used in this country is largely from Germany, The Winsted Hosiery Co. of which E. B. Gaylord, republican candidate for senator from the 31st district, is secretary, treasurer and general manager, employs total of 475 hands, 25O of whom are engaged in the half hose department alone and turn out up- wards of 100000 dozen pairs each year. The importations of single concern in New York city (the name is withheld for obvious reasons) is far in excess of this figure. The wage scale for carders spinpers, knitters and fnishers ployed by the Winsted Hosiery Co, is two and one half times the prevailing wage scale in Ger many for the same work. The erection of new factory costs the Winsted Hosiery Go. and every

MT. Gaylord is not newcomer to this section. He has been identified, with the Winsted Hosiery Co.,, men tion of which is made elsewhere, since 1886, and he is one of Winsted's best known and most highly respected residents. He is familiar with con- ditions throughout his district, and with the wants and needs of it's in habitants. He is not politician and it was only after confined urging on the part of his friends that he allowed his name to be used. He is abundantly qualified for the office and is worthy of the vote of every Republican in his district.

other Winsted manufacturer, and double what it costs the German manufacturer because of the correspondngly high scale of wages paid other workmen. And despite these indisputable facts the Underwood Tariff bill passed by the last Congress and vetoed by President Taft, reduced the tariff on wool from 50 to 60 per cent. and took from so to 75 per cent of the protection from the finished product. Under such con- ditions it would be an absolute impossbility for the Winsted Hosiery Go. to continue business and maintain its present wage scale.

INTERESTING FREAK.

An interesting curiosity Is on exhi- bition at J. P. Hornbeck's store-a stick of ash wood which, on being split in two, was found to have d large sized horse. shoe imbedded in it and complete ly hidden in the heart of the wood. It was from a tree recently chopped down by Walter Dickinson, on Battle Hill, on the farm formerly owned by the late Henry Brinton, and the horseshoe was not discovered until Dickinson attempt ed to split the stick, which had been sawed to stove-wood length. The stick contained a tough knot, and when it was finally split in two it was found that the horseshoe was adjusted oyer the knot in such way as to prove that 1t had originally been hung over a twig when the tree was a small sapling, and as the years went by the tree had grown over and around it until the bark hid it completely and it was deeply imbedded in the wood itself. It is thought proba- able that MT. Henry Brinton who has been dead quarter of a century, had hung the shoe on the twig many years before hls death and forgotten it.

. PAINLESS" RE. DUCTlON OF
 THE TARIFF

Our Democratic friends as- sure us that they will reduce the tariff gradually and that the operation will. be "pain- less" As matter of fact they would have seriously in- jured, if not ruined, many of the industries of Connecticut, and of Litchfeld county less than two years ago but for the fearless veto of President. The tariff bills passed by the Democrats and so-called Pro- gressive or Insurgent Repub- licans at the. last session of 2 Congress would have reduced the protection of 1,146 facto- ries in the state from 40 to 100 per cent, 166 being reduced to an absolute Free Trade basis. In Litchfield county 56 facto- ries were hit and 9 were cut to Free Trade. Woodrow Wilson would have signed these bills and he will sign them and more if he is elected. But how painless will the opera tion be? We have only to look to Winchester, the largest town in this senatorial dis trict, for numerous illustra- tions.
Connecticut western news., 1912-10-31

The tariff is not responsible for the high cost of living. This is a problem that exists throughout the world, and Free Trade England is' no ex- ception.
Connecticut western news., 1912-10-31

The tariff is not responsible for trusts and business com- binations. It is a notorious fact that Free Trade England is overrun with trusts and com- binations of capital.

It is the policy of the Re- publican party to preserve the good and eliminate the evil in our present business system and to bring about the change without undo disturbance in the business world, if possible. This cannot be done in a single stroke, yet President Taft has accomplished more in four years than did his predecessor in seven and half.
