NEW RAILROAD.
Plans for New Road in Washington
County.

Plans for New Road in Washington
County.
Plans for new railroad in Washington
county to open up large timber, hardwood
and mineral resources have been an
nounced by Cyrus F. Stackpole, of Ban
gor, who has long been interested in the
development of the natural resources of
this section of Maine.
Four years ago the legislature granted
to George Mansfield, of Jonesport, Hon.
George M. Hanson. of Calais, Hon. Will
liam B. Pierce, Judge Harry J.. Chapman
and Cyrus F. Stackpoie, of Bangor, a
charter for the Jonesport Central q
Northern railway, line about twenty
miles in length, running from Jonesport
north to township IS. This charter was
renewed at the last session of the legisla-
pointed to the supreme bench, was re-
placed on the board by T. B. Towle, of
Bangor.
This line was to furnish rail connection
for Jonesport with the Washington
County railroad, but nothing was done
other than to keep the organization alive
and secure the renewal of the charter
rights.
The project as it is now put forth calls
for continuation of the same lines, north
through the eastern end of Washington
county. and as early as practicable inthe
spring party of civil engineers, govern
ment soil experts, timber experts and
mineralogists are to go over the proposed
route of the railway to make study of
conditions and resources.
AS II is laid out the line will run from
Jonesport to Whitneyville, up the Machias
river, thence in northwest direction to
and crossing Grand Lake Stream, where
there is large undeveloped water power.
north to Danforth, where it will cross the
Maine Central railroad, thence to Grand
Lake on the Canadian border, to Amity
and to Ashland Junction, where it will
join the Bangor & Aroostook railroad.
This route would open up valuable
timberland, deposits of high grade iron
ore, large marble and limestone deposits
and extensive farming ana grazing lands.

The Tariff and Textiles.

ITextile Manufacturers Journal
A year ago basic conditions govern
ing general business were so excep-
tionally strong that many republicans
of the so-called "stand-pat" type,
smarting from the sting of recent de-
feat, were obliged to admit that it
was most unlikely that tariff legisla-
tion would be passed of a sufficiently
radical nature seriously to restrict
and unsettle business.
So prophetic has proved state
ment published in these columns just
a year ago that it will bear reproduce
ton:
No one conversant with the unusual strength
of basic business conditions throughout
this land can doubt that these plus the
bouptiful harvest of last fall, could have
failed to stimulate one of the greatest BUSH
ness booms the country has seen, had
it not been for the election of President and
Congress committed to policy of radical
tariff revision. Unless the next Congress is
sufficiently conservative in its treatment of
the tariff to allow this stifed boom to revive,
their action will deserve to be recorded as
the ''crime of 1872.
The latent boom was not only
stuffed; it was throttled. =
Tariff revisionists admit their re-
sponsibility, but claim that larger
and more efficient industry is to rise
from the ruins. Every manufacturer
is busy striving to repair the damage
done. All are endeavoring to appear
cheerful in the midst of adversely. If
they are successful theirs will be the
honor, and the action of a low-tariff
majority in Congress will still deserve
to be recorded as "the crime of 1887.
