In Which We Pay Ourselves

THERE is trouble in the cotton industry Mills are
closing down, men being thrown out of work and
the Eastern and Southern manufacturers sending
forth a wall for help. II all about because the
blawsted English manufacturers, taking advantage of
low tariff have flooded this country with cotton goods
at prices that cannot be met by domestic mills because of
high cost Of production The wall therefore is for
application of the elastic section of the tariff law in such
a way as will block the English invasion.
Beyond the tariff feature of the case there raised
point that is decidedly interesting, if true Abraham
Bnns president of the New Bedford textile council repre-
senting Al 900 operatives tells about it, ut is plain
case" he says, "of wholesale dumping Of Engish-made
cotton goods into this country psbaby for the purpose
of establishing large credit in United States funds to
cover the British payment to America the English
debt But why should the textile industry be made
bear practically alone the burden of the British debt
payments?" And echo answers, why"
Binns conclusion Is shared by leading manufacturers
cotton and by their industrial organs All insist that
England is not only putting cash job this
try but it will force thousands of worngmen into idle
unless something is done with the tariff to pre-
vent.
The general public may note that the Bnns exposition
of the matter dovetas closely with the predictions made
year or ago by financers- predictions that If
did not cancel all war debts would pay high price
for their collection We scoffed at those predictions then
and they still look dubious. But if Binns and his fellows
right, here directly up against the proposition
in effect of paying ourselves for the debt Great Britain
Jolting, isn't it?

British Officer Found
Townships Too Big

For nearly year the British prison
ers taken after BurgOyne's surrender
were held in Massachusetts, and then
came from congress the order to march
them to barracks in Virginia. The
officers Travelled with considerable lib
erty. Thomas Anburey, a British lieu
tenant, complained Of the size of the
townships in Connecticut in his rem
iniscences, first published in 1789, and
recently published. About the center
Of these townships stands the meet
ing house, or church, with a few sur
rounding houses; sometimes the church
stands slngly. 1t is no little mortifi-
cation, when fatigued after a long
days journey, on inquiring how far 1t
is to such a town to be informed you
are there at present; but on inquiring
for the church or any particular tav-
ern you are informed 1t Is seven or
eight miles farther"
Anburey observed that most of the
Connecticut houses were only half fin
ished, the other half having only the
rough timbers that supported the
building. upon inquiry learned that
when man builds a house he leaves
It in this state until his son marries,
when he fits 1t up for his family, and
the father and son live under one
