Bt SENATOR Miis of Texas, who never would have known what a ing industry was like if he visited Rhode Island, is now talking on the tariff. It's a very wearisome sort of chin-wagging. SeNATOR PEFFER'S latest bill is entitled A Bill to dispose of Idle Labor and Discourage Idle Wealth, What's the matter with the McKinley bill as disposer of idle labor and the Wilson tariff bill as a discourager of wealth of el sorts? Tue News has in hand a magnificent yomance of the war entitled Yankee The author is M. Quad, the famous writer of graphic war stories, and the hero is a Rbode Island boy.

Today it is due to lack of employment for money, And the Wilson tariff bill is the Sword of Damocles that takes away the appetite for business, Tue meetings of the executive committee of the National Republican League in Washington present striking contiusts to the meetings of executive committees of the Democracy, the Republican gatherings being marked by enthusiasm and harmony.

Colonel Heury E. Tiepke, Pawtucket's honored chief executive, represents Rhode Island and was able to contribute a big share to the general enjoyment by telling them the good news from Rhode Island. He was honored by being selected, together with the president and secretary of the a committee to prepare subjects for consideration at the coming convention at Denver and map out plans of league Little Rhody is right in it, and Colonel Tiepke is the man to keep her there, CONDITIONS NOT THEORIES, The theorists who are and have been crying for free trade do not understand the real difference between the conditions surrounding the American and those which surround the foreign and especially the English manufacturer. They have a theory which has to them all the charms of a belief unharassed by doubt, and untried by experience, and firm in their belief, they are unquestionably honest in the conviction that all the American manufacturer needs to conquer the markets of the world is free raw material and ar adjustment of his business conditions to the requirements of free trade. They admit cheerfully that wages will be lowered, but claim as offsets that the purchasing power of a dollar will be increased, and that work will be continuous, and free from the interruptions brought about by business conditions as they exist today.

But they do not take into uccount certain conditions which are equally as important a factor in the competition between the English manufacturer and the American manufacturer for the markets of the world as the tariff, A prominent Rhode Island woolen manufacturer, an Englishman, explained these conditions recently to the writer, in a way that threw a new light on tho sitnation. He was born and brought up under the tree trude system of England, and coming from a family of practical woolen manufacturers, when he arrived at man's estate he took his capital and came out from free trade England to protected America, because he could make more money here where the market was the grandest in the world and well protected. He is just as much of an Englishman today as he ever was, although he has done much for the locality in which he lives, probably more than many native born citizens, did not come here because I loved your and your people, but because I could make more money here. Now there are many people who think that if we maoufacturers in the United States were given free wool and all the other conditions attendant upon free trade that we could compete with England, but we couldn't. Lower your rate of wages to the level of the English operative, reduce rents, get wool free, place every material thing used lin manufacturing in the mill, givecoal and iron free, and in short make the conditions as nearly as may be equal to the conditions of the English manufacturers and then the Awmerican manufacturer would not be able to The reason for this is readily seen when one takes into account the difference in conditions.

Ouat of centuries of industrial experience England bhas learned some very valuable lessons her manufacturers have evolved a system far differemt from anything in vogue in America, Experience and training has made industrial England a vast machine, For generations fathers bhave handed down to sons the secrets of the trade and the methods of systewnatizing their part in this grand machine so that they have solved the problem of securing the largest possible production with the least expenditure of money. There are no woolen manufacturers in England as we have in America where the wool is taken as a raw staple and turned out a finished product in the shape of a web of cloth, In England the various processes that the staple undergoes from its state as raw wool to the perfect cloth form so many distinct businesses, One man sorts the wool, His men are experts at it. They never do anything else. They run a loom nor do anything but sort wool, but they are exper's at that. Another man has the.

process of combing and carding. That is bhis business and his employes learn those branches. And so it goes through all the varions processes. All kinds of busiiess in the section are devo'ed to the sume line, Instead of a manufacturer having to own all the vast and complicated machinery of various kinds found in an American mill, but one kind is formd in that of his English rival, consequently the cost of mannfacturing is largely decreased, The wman who sorts wool does THE NEWS WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25, 1894, nothing else and by conducting his business on an extensivg ecale he can get the greatest production for the least money, and this is true in every braach or process of the work of converting the wool into the goods, A designer wishing to create a new design can buy a quarter of pound if necessary of a certain quality and shade of yarn, while in America several hundred pounds would be regarded as picayune buying, for here the yarn has to be made to order.

In England that branch whose business it is to make that part of the goods has it in stock or is always in readiness to create, In America every process is gone through with in every mill, Cusequently no matter on how big a scule the mill is conducted each process is a retail business when compared with the same process in England, where one mill is devoted to one process, supplying all the mills that use the finished product of that process. The saving in machinery, in cost of plant and operating expenses, the advantage resulting from a wholesale in preference to a retail business, the work of the skilled operative who has learned just one piece of work and who can do that and that only but do that at least under circumstances makes it absolutely certain that his labor will yield better results than the labor of a similar operative under the American system, All Eugland is the part of this v.st industrial machine, In order to establish such a system in America the entire industrial system must be revolutionized and reorganized on a basis that it has taken centuries to ripen and bring about in England, INDIANA REPUBLICANS MLET, The Republicans in Indiana tod. meeting in State convention and in the history of the party has there been a larger and more enthusiastic gathering. The platform adopted rei erates belief in the Republican doctrine of protection and reciprocity, which furnish a home market for the productions of our factories and our farms and protects the American laborer against the competition of the pauper labor of Europe. It denounces the unwise and unpatriotic action of the tic party in attempting to eliminate the reciprocity principles from our tariff system pointing out the iujudiciousness of clusing big foreign markets to the products of the American farmer, It arraigns the present attempt of a Democratic Congress to overthrow and destroy the American industrial system as a course, that, with the general fearof a violent readjustment of the business on a free trade basis, has increased the national debt, plunged the country into the most disastrous business depression of its history, thrown thousands of laborers out of employment and humiliated them by making them the objects of charity that their families might not starve, 1t opposes the pension policy of the present Administration and demands a rigid enforcement of the mmmigration laws and demands further legislation as will protect our people and institutions against the influx of the criminal and vicious It is a platform that will find favor with the thoughtful and the support of those having the best interests of the government at heart.

The grand old doctrine of protection with reciprocity, stands out bold and uncompromised, a welcome beacon to a distressed people. The platform is on national lines as today loecal issues lie buried beueath the more important questions of national importance, WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING. Good Nomination from an Unfortunate NSource.

Prospective Warfare at Canonchet, Boston Record, It looks as if we were to have a revival of the bitter legal contest between ex-Governor Sprauge of Rhode Island and his next door neighbor and relative by marriage, Colonel Gerrit Wheaton, over the great estate, Canonchet. Governor Sprague is very fond of it and clings to it The latter holds a $60,000 mortgage on the place, and has often advised the exgovernor to close out and sell off some portion of the Canonchet acres, and 1t is also known that some lots were aunctioned off two years agoat fair prices, Dut Sprague has always resisted any attempt to cut Canonchet estate proper up into villa sites or to destroy his dwelling. Hisresistance has at times been very emphatic.

He has fought forit before so vigorously that stacks of muskets have stood in the corner of the big hallway and corridor, and armed sentries have walked the long piazzas night and day. Men who have made attempts to trespass upon the lands of Canonchet have been shotat. If Colonel Wheaton tries to foreclose and to drive Sprague into following his suggestion, we may have a glimpse of real border Sic Smarty!
