port is Of the great munIon ccnters, which &C.
counts tor this 90 per cent increase in population. This
addition of 5000 mUnton makers to the Bridgeport pop
uation means wonderful opportunity for Bridgeport MGR
chants to sell their goods, and for Connecticut farmers 10
dispose OF their products Therein lies their share Of our
war order prosperity.
But what is the logical consequence Of cessation of the
European WARP Bridgeport munition.makng activities will
practically cease and many thousands Of operatives will be
laid off, Shortly thereafter, if the Wilson Underwood
tariff law 10 be continued, the Bridgeport manufacturers
will encounter the competition Of an ndusraly re-
organized Europe-cvcry large industry Of our European
competitors receiving the backing Of its government This
must of necessity curta the operation Of the Bridgeport
manufacturers, and curaed operations mean higher cosl
OF production. A mill operating at Is per cent capacity
can produce nowhere cheaply as mill running at
100 per cent capacity. Finally the wheels will cease to
turn and the aborers employed even in normal periods un
der protective policy, will be laid off under the present
near.rce-trade policy. The Bridgeport merchants will be
unable to turn their stocks with profit and the Con-
neeteut farmers will longer find Bridgeport profitable
market for their produce
And the condition which the Democratic tariff law will
create in Bridgeport is typical of what may be expected
throughout the country, under the Democratic tariff policy
