Maximum Efficiency in Manu-.
facture

Washington, Oct. 81. Especial cor
respondence). No one knows better
than foreign manufacturer that. given
free entrance to our markets, he can
cut down the output of American fac
tories and thereby increase the cost of
the American output in proportion as
he decreases the cost of his own pro-
duct. No one knows better than the
foreign manufacturer that, with this
accomplished, he will, with the cheap
labor, inferior quality, and manufacture
ing efficiency, be able more and more
to undersell the American manufac-
turer and put out of employment the
American workman. No one knows
better than he that the ultimate result
is to drive American industry and Amer
lean workmen to the wall, unprotected
as they are by the shelter of a proper
tariff, and thus to operate his own fac
tory at full capacity, full time, and 100
per cent efficiency. All this is, SEEM
ingly, but little understood by the cas-
ual trainers and casual readers of our
tariff laws.
A wise protective policy would result
in importing foreign capital into this
country for manufacturing in America,
under American conditions and with
American labor, instead of forcing
American labor either to Remain in idle
ness here or to seek employment in
foreign countries.
To indicate how this dumping policy
would work out in practice, two in
stances may be cited. A worsted mill
producing 5,0OO,0 900 yards annually at
full capacity, shows a fixed charge of 8
cents per yard, or 100000. With
sale price of IL cents a yard, it would
make net profit of 5000, 900. If it ran
three-fourths time the cost price would
increase to lC.7c per yard on 8, $50, 900
yards, which if sold at u cents would
give profit of something less than
$50, 900. If running half time, the cost
per yard would be Ice on 2,500,00
yards, which. at 12c would make loss
of $1,000 900. If running one-fourth time
the cost would be &c on 1850, 900
yards, which, at 12c would make loss
of $250,000 In other words. if oper-
ating at full capacity, it could sell half
its product abroad at cost price, sell the
other half at home at l2c and still make
$50, coo more than if running three
quarters time, and, in addition thereto,
would cripple it's foreign competitors.
A cotton mill having $4,000 spindles,
with capacity of 1870 pounds of yarn
week, shows the fixed charges con-
nected with the plant-office, and gen.
eral charges which can not be cut off
during hutdown-amount to &c a
pound. In other words, this plant
could run full capacity, sell half it's out
put at &c pound less than cost, and be
as well off from the stockholders point
of view as it would be by running one
half time at full capacity and closing
down the remaining six months, in adj
dition to continuing the employment of
it's workmen.
A Republican administration would
achieve this, and it will probably re-
main for a Republican administration
to insure "full time, full capacity" to
American mills.

THE MAINE LEGISLATURE.

At caucuses held Tuesday evening in Au-
gusta the Republicans, Democrats and Pro-
gressves made nominations for officers of
the Senate and House and for the State off,
ces. If all stand by their colors this means a
deadlock as to the State officers. The Renub-
licans will elect the officers of the Senate and
the Democrats those of the House. Pattan-
gall, as was expected, got the Democratic nom
nation for Attorney General and Mayor New
bert of Augusta the nomination for State
Treasurer. The legislature met yesterday
and Gov. Curtis will deliver his inaugural ad-
dress to day.
The general opinion at the State capital yes
terday was that the Democrats would break
the deadlock by unseating two Republican rep
rese entatives.
