AMERICAN WOOLENS c* s i The Prosperity of a Groat Oon- h neotlcut Wool Industry. THE FIVE MILLS IN ROCKVILLE i y Far Making tho Finest Qualities of J Goods?Tho Same Industry L'ndor Two 1'olitical Administrations. n Froo Traders in American Wool- ^ ens "Without Knowing It?More g Slcliinley Prosperity. jj 81 Special Corrapondcnc: of New York Tribune. p ItoacviLLE, Co as,, Sept 2.?In tho ti early part of this century tho aito upon Jj which this city is built was glvon in ex- a change for a lot that was noeded by the ti town of Bolton to coiuplote tho aymrae- n try of its village green. Tho oxchango Jj was thought to be, so tradition goes, to y tho advantage of tho town. This placo d was thon but a wild and desolato ravine t! of ubusual size. Its hills were rugged, "j ita valleys stony and tho turbid Hock- 0 anum river and tho Snipsic Lake, a milo nnrl n hnlf nhnv'fl. did not filllianCQ h the value of thie tract of land. It was ^ a most unattractivo place for agrical- t| tural purposes, and in those days the d valuo of land remote from sottloments a was estimated to a largo extent on that ti basis. Even then Connecticut was not ? strictly a farming community. All U of its farming implements and f< one-half oi the clothing worn was E manufactured in tho stuto, and as b water power has alwas boon at a u premium it was not long before a mill a was built on tho banks of the Ilocka- si num. That river now affords the best a water power to bo found in Now Eng- w land, and there has grown up near its Ic banks a city of ten thousand, which is gi constantly increasing in population. S; Tho surrounding hills aro thickly cov- h ored with houses, hundreds of which E are owned by miil operatives. There a are sevoral banks and many large it stores. A memorial building of un- it usual beauty is tho chief attraction, and u along tho bank of tho now placid stream o: aro livo of tho largest and oldest woolon ai mills in Connecticut?tho Rock, tho Hockanum, tho Now England, the tl Springfield and the American. To- ci gother they employ 2,000 hands; they e' pay out $884,000 a year for wagos, and o tho combined capital ijivcstod amounts fc to nearly Si,500,000, rnoro is uopoa- 11 ited in tho savings banks the sum o! p SI,515,000, and it is estimated by tho ci bank officers that at least two-thirds of li this amount belongs to tho operatives b in the woolen mills. fi DUE TO TUB TARIFF. " Tho prosperity of this llttlo city has " boon very closely identified with tho 8| history of tho protective tariff system, tl Prior to 1863 its progress fluctuated fc with tho succcss or defoat of tho pro- ? tective tariff, but tho substantial 0 growth of tho city and tho prosperity j,' of its manufactories began with the it Morrill tariff. Since that time, how- p over, thore havo boon several distress- ? ing periods. The first began early in n tho Cleveland administration, when ? Secretary .Manning, Dy a lorceu con- u atruction of the tarifi of 1883, permitted worsteds to coma in aa woolens. Be- |j fore that timo worsteds novor had bcon used oxcopt for trimmings. But this j, ruling was an inducomont to tho Eng- 0 lish manufacturers to change tho char- Y actor of tho fabrics which they hnd formerly imported and which wero commonly known as woolens. Consequently, largo ~J quantities of worsted goods came into J this country, and of course, in direct jj competition with the woolens tnanufac- f tured hero. This changod condition of , the trade involved great hardship for f the domestic manufacturers, which ' continued until General Harrison was " elected. One of tho first things that he ?j did, as President, was to direct tlu rul- ?. ings of Secretary Manning to bo ro- * pealed. While this action was beneficial to avpertain oxtont, tho effects of ? President Cleveland'a administration did not wear away until aftor tho paa- J aage of the McKinley bill Largo quan- ** tities of English worsteds wero ruahod ? into tho country prior to its passage, and they have been on tho market over ? since. It has taken nearly two years ? to absorb thoso importations. But that Y V?I11 mnrlr* ft n?W flfft 111 the OrOBDOritV ol this city. * Tliore aro thousands of froo tradora in this country who want to have the McKinley bill repealed. It may interest them to know something about the 1 growth of tho manufacture of woolens ' in this country. It has prospered won- ' derfullv since Genoral Harrison has en- ~ tered the White House, aud there are * now, within the bounds of this state, V over one liundred manufactories of ' woolen fabrics. As a mattor of history 7. porbnps these froo traders may not " know that it was in this alato that tho ? lirst woolen factory in America was started, and that tho suit ot clothos Gonoral Washington woro when ho was ? inaugurated tho first time was made ' from tho first product of this mill. If those freo traders are J further interested in these historical J incidonts thoy may care to know that ' the vico president and tho Connecticut !. delegation in Congress woro clothes of similar cloth. And to bring theio incidents down to a more recent date, it may bo worth while to mention that when Goneral Harrison was inauitur- \t ated ai l'residont ho wore a suit of clothos which was inado from cloth i, wovonin ono of tho mills in this city; t and upon the occasion of the conton- t nial celebration of tho anniversary of n tho constitution, which was incldon- j tally a commemoration of the begin- ^ nine of tbo manufacture of wool in j America, l'rosidcnt Harrison vras clad t in a snit of clothos which was made f from tho cloth woven in another Kock- ,, villo mill. To continuo this lesson in t history tho following oxcorpt from tho t annals of tho inauguration of Washing- t ton is given: ^ I, Tho clotn is 01 so nno a moric uuu so 0 handsomely finished that it was univor- v tally mistaken for a foreign manu- ; fncturod superfine cloth; a circumstance ? which must bo considered as not only c flattering to onr manufacturers in par- , ticular, bat interesting to oar country- t moo in genoral, Rnd that the appear- e ance of tho Presidont, Vico President, s and several members of Congress in , suits of Amorican manufacture was a J distinguished token of attention to tho v manufacturing interests of tho country. t AS GOOD AH TnB IMPORTED. n General Harrison has givon several 'J "distinguished tokens of attention to J tho manufacturing interests of tho i country." To conclude this littlo chap- 1 ter in history, it may bo stated that tho c goods worn by Presidont Harrison aro c litnilar in quality, toxturo and work- \ manship to those imported. Tho Kng- e lish manufacturers cannot tell the dif- i teronco. The samo wool and the game i looms am used, and practically tho c samo skill is exorcised. Many of tho " American weavors are of foreign birth ] and learned their trade before they ( nme to this country. And as to stylos, rhich it is maintained, make English L oods superior to domestic goods, tlio imerican manufacturer is as well inarmed an to tho stylos in England as tie English manufacturer is familiar rith tbu German and American pat- v urns. To obtain these styles is com- J tarativoly an easy matter. Each manu- j seturer makos his samples, at least, u ear before goods nro delivered and 11 liore is an understanding by which hose samples are exchanged. t At least one-half of tho product of tho c aills of Kockville is sold as "importod" b oods. I'.obahly tho clothes of one-half t f tho froo traders are madoout of theso i, oods. They detest, foolishly and tenor- t ntly, all domestic woolens and wore- I ads, and tailors humor this caprico by t ailing them goods which oven an ex- a ert cadnofc tell from a genuine iinpor- t ?d articlo. What these customers call e jr are imported goods. Thoy are satis- t ed simply to have it stated that thoy <J re importod and get, nine times outo'f ? jn, domestic goods. But they are evor tho wi^or for the deception prac- d cod upon tUfin. These goods aro sold ti y the millf7from 75 cents to $1 50 a ard cheaper than tho English goods, ii uty paid, tjomotimos tno joouor sous n legood* strictly on their merits, and n sain ho may put a London ticket on Hem, which, of course, soils them at c nco. t The high standard of goods mado v cro in Kockvillo may bo exceptional, v he Globe mills, of Utica. probably c irn oat as tino a product. In England ii tio high grades of goods mado at IIud- jj orsfleld aro moro in the samo lino, but d t present there is but little coinpeti- b on with them. The competition with i inglish goods is more confined to Brad- c >rd than to Uuddersfleld. In Brad- r >rd worsted, inferior in Quality to tho v lockvillo inako, aro own now coming ere in groat quantities. Shoddy is r sod in them extensively, and oven with ii high duty upon them, they aro sold at 1< arprisingly low figures. To maintain t: ny foothold in tho Unitod States it s as necessary for tho Bradford inanu- fj tcturora to cheapen tho quality of their /, sods and to reduco tiio wanes paid. T ince tho MeKinley bill passod wages ti avo been reduced 17 per cent, bv tho a nglish manufacturers. I was told by ? Iiockvillo manufacturer that ho had l( ist received a letter from Bradford say- ij ig that there had been four large fail- 0 res thoro in tho last six months. Not \ no of thorn was for less than $250,000, ud ono amounted to over $1,000,000. a Uoforo tienoral Harrison was eieciou n 10 woolen business all ovor tho b auntry was torribly depressed, and $ ven in Kockviilo, whero tho custom is 0 [ a superior kind, soma of tho mills ft ?r months were running on half-time. e : the McKinloy bill had not boon \ assod the depression would havo lusod as many failures on this side as ave occurred in England, But that j ill has brought about a moat wonder11 chango. The Rockville mills aro h off running on full time, sixty hours p weok. Thoy aro filled to overflowing e, ith orders, and even at this early v ;ago of tho season, throo weeks after n ley had began to show their samples [> >r tho trado next summer, tho capacity 0 f tho mills, for a year in advanco, has n oen taxed to tha utmost. Further j; rdors aro declined, and nono but rogu- 0: ir customers can be supplied. Only t] ;st week twenty-six new looms were e; ut in one of tho mills, and improve- c> icnts and additions aro constantly w inking, Tho American output has tl early doubled. Moro wool is being sod than ever boforo, and nevor in tho istory of tho manufacture of woolens i this country has there beon such a . envy demand for American goods. It i estimated that business to the extent 71 f $4,000,000 will bo dono by tho Bock- u ille mills. ' a EKGM8H COMING OVJtlt. (f Tho prosperity in this country and . ic dopreasiou in England, if continued, rill probably bring about tho settlement u 1 Iiockvillo of soveral of tho largest fi Inglish manufacturers of fino worsteds. a n fact, the Arm of Lodge & Sons, of luddorsfleld, whose goods are tho finest 1 England, now have tho refusal of a lill sito in Rockville. Whether thoy ? amo or not is contingent upon tho lection of President Harrison. One of io nionibera of the firm has practically i' bandonod his business, ana has boon mployed in one of the mills hore for ci jiiio time as a designer of styles. Ho si lid that tho "blamed McKinloy tariff" ei ad ruined the trade of their firm. The a nly thing for them to do was to como b 3 America. Of courso, ho understands C s well us his partnors, that thoy will avo to pay doublo tho wages hero that ii hoy pay In England, und thoy aro will- b ;ig to do so. Thoy will start in Rock- . life on account of tho skilled labor that < an bo found thoro. I had a short talk with a weaver. IIo aid that thoro win no question about 1; ho increnaod earning oi tlio opora- n ivos. The prices were all mado by the ft lauufactnrora. There was no union to mount to anything, he added, in Bockillo. Tho workmen preferred to deal idividualiy with their employora. lost of them own their little homes b nd profer to romain as they are. All rork ia paid by tho pioce or cut, of loth of sixty yards. In Bradford a oman weaver gets $1 25, or a trifle T vor 2 centa a yard for weaving a pioce " f cloth sixty picks or threads to tho li icli. In liockville the.same kind of c ork dono by n man brings 11 ocnts a b ard, or SO CO for the pioco. Tho woman ti reaver in Roekvillo is paid tho satno as b he man.
