new i CARPETS IN AMERICA. A Plain Illustration of the Success of licKinley's Tariff THE PRICES KEDDCED SINCE 1890. KW llllls in Operation u & Eesnlt of the Bepublican Policj. HOW CLEVELAND INJURED THE TRADE Amsterdam, K. Y., Aug. 1L There is a, little creek which wanders down from the highlands overlooking the valley of the Mohawk at this place, and after running athwart the lower part ot the city, flows Into the river. Thronging the sides of this email stream in its descent from the hilltop, are scores of factories. Chief among them, high in the air and commanding a view of the city, are the large carpet mills of S. Sanford & Sons. The carpet mills are Amsterdam's pride. They were first started here in 1840 by John Sanford, father of Stephen Sanford, the present head of the firm, with 14 ma chines and 25 hands. The pay roll was in significant. Under the beneficent opera tions of the protective system, mill after mill has been added until there are now em ployed about 2,500 persons, who receive in wages 5750,000 yearly, and manufacture carpets worth several millions of dollars. There was suffering among the operatives of the carpet mills at the time of Mr. Cleve land's former attack upon the tariff In 1887 and 1888, business fell off and the mills were only running five days in the week, and then only on half time. Bat General Harrison was elected, and business again became brisk in the carpet trade. Work Is Constant lioir. How, every day, the mills are in opera tion, and every man and woman employed in them works all day. Moreover, Mr. Sanford feels so much encouraged by the operation of the McKinley tariff that he is now erecting a mill for the manufacture of mnqnette carpets, in which he will employ 1,000 persons; and in 1893, he intends to erect an additional carpet mill for the em plovment of 1,000 persons. The people of Amsterdam, and especially- the tradesmen, are highly pleased that 2,500 persons are thus to be added to the population of the place, for it will bring greater prosperity to all who live within the borders ot the town. Has this business success of tbe carpet manufacturer and this prosperity of the working people been gained at the expense of the purchasers ot carpets? No; for prices have been lowered. Mr. Sanford makes in his mill velvet and tapestry vel vet carpets, upon which the duty was raised by the McKinley tariff act respect ively from 25 cents to 40 cents a yard, and from SO per cent to 40 per cent a yard; and tapestry brussels, figured and plain, from 20 cents to 28 cents, and from 30 per cent to 40 per cent a yard. Mr. Sanford said: "We are selling tapestries from 40 to 62 cents a yard, and velvets from 75 cents to 1 15 a yard. Upon all these grades of goods there has been a reduction of at least 10 per cent since the year when the McKinley act was passed. A General Reduction In Prices. "In fact, there has been a reduction of the same percentage upon all grades of carpets that we sold at 70 cents a yard in 1890, which we are now selling at 62f cents a yard, a reduction of 7) cents a yard, and in many lines ot carpets the reduction is greater. In my 50 years of experience as a manufacturer of carpets, I have nerer kuown carpets to be as low as they are now; yet on account of the great demand for American goods and the volume of sales our business is satistactory. What is best of all we have been enabled to maintain the wages of our men, despite this reduction in the price of our goods. Those wages are no lower than when the McKinley act was passed. What is very pleasing is the absence of English carpets from our markets; and, indeed, nearly all foreign carpets. The manufacturers in this coun try are able to make all the goods consumed here. Indeed, they are able to make mofe than we need, and it is their competition this year which has reduced the price of carpets to the lowest point ever reached in the history of the carpet trade. If the tariff on carpets be reduced, English carpets would come in, and whatever amount thev may be, whether $1,000,000 or 55,000,000 worth, it will take just that volume of pro duction away lroin this class of working people in this country, and force them into other occupations or else deprive them of employment." "You do not, then," I asked, "favor a reduction of the duty upon carpets?" "I do not, and I have had an experience which is worth telliug as to the effect of a threat to reduce the tariff. After Mr. Cleveland sent his message to Congress in 1887, advocating a reduction of the duties upon manufactured goods, we suffered from stagnation in our business. Merchants who formerly would give an order for 40 or 50 pieces of carpets refrained from doing so, not knowing what might happen. They would give orders for five or ten pieces only. They thus worked along from hand to mouth, and we were forced to run our works on half time. Result or the Election or 1888. "When the news of General Harrison's election came I immediately started our mills on full time, and have run them in that way ever since. The average reduction in the price of carpets since the McKinley act was passed has been 10 per cent. What a reductionin the price of carpets there has been! My father sold carpets at $3 a yard lor which I now can obtain only 62' cents a yard." Mr. San ford's workingmen and working women look happy and contented. They receive good wages, and manr of them have caved a competency. Hundreds of them own the bouses in which they live. Am sterdam prides itjelf upon having a larger proportion ot herpopulation living in homes owned by their occupants than any other city in the State. The operatives of the mills own a large proportion of these build ings. If the increased duty upon carpets is a "tax," th; consumers of carpets in Amster dam are not aware of the fact; and the fol lowers of Mr. Cleveland in the city ac knowledge that in this instance, at least, he was mistaken. Nor can they see that the McKinley act, so far as carpets are con cerned, has done any harm. Before their eyes are hundreds of American workingmen and workinewomen employed at good wages the year round. They know that Mr. San ford intends within a year to give employ ment to 2,500 more Americans, and they are aware that the prices of all grades of 'car pets manufactured in this city have been reduced 10 per cent Under these circum stances a great many protection Democrats declare that they intend to sustain the American tariff policy, which has wonder fully benefited their town, by voting for Benjamin Harrison for President.

Minister Kyan, in transmitting to tbe State Department recently published statistical tables of Mex ican foreign and domestic shipping move ments for 1891,' calls attention to the highly gratifying condition of our ocean commerce with the neighboring republic. He says: "It will be seen that more American, steamers entered the Mexican ports than those of all the other nations of the world combined: that American sailing vessels en tering were infinitely in excess of those of any other country; and that Mexico's do mestic orinternational commerce was carried by more American steamships and sailing vessels than those of all other nations com bined, with the single exception of Mexico itself. Another table manifests the great increase in Mexico's maritime movement during the said fiscal year over the preced ing. How large a part the United States contributed thereto is indicated above." CHILE WAS IS 10 SETTLE, And Claims Commission Will Meet In TVanhlnirton to Art-unco Matters. "Washington, Aug. 1L Miuister Egan has definitely agreed with the Chilean Gov ernment upon a convention for the settle ment of all unadjusted claims of citizens of the United States against Chile by means of a claims commission, to meet in Wash ington. This action of the Minister chroni cles the satisfactory termination of a nego tiation which has been pending for a long time. No general claims convention has ever been celebrated with Chile, and claims of American citizens date back for more than half a century, though a great portion of them have their origin in the Chilean Peruvian war, 12 years ago. Mr. Egan reports that in all negotiations leading up to settlement the Chilean Gov ernment has met him in most friendly spirit. Much satisfaction is expressed at the De partment ot State at the successful result of our Minister's efforts in this and other mat ters recently brought to a conclusion. KOBE TS0USLE FOB IOWA. Messiah Schwelnforth Will Establish a Church In Keokuk. Eocktoed, III., Aug. 11. George Jacob Schweinfurth, the Messiah, will abandon Illinois and create a new haven in Iowa, just south of Keokuk, on the Mis souri line. Schweinfurth says he has grown tired of the persecutions heaped upon him and his flock by the people of Illinois. He claims that his flock has grown throughout the country, and that he now has'4,500 fol lowers. He proposes to colonize them all near Keokuk. The land which he seeks to purchase covers 25,000 acres. The men and women will be compelled to live apart as at Bockford, and it is proposed to organize the colony on the communistio plan, with a Board of Supervisors, all under one spiritual head, Schweinfurth, with Angelica Weldon in charge of the women's work. The good people of Keokuk are said to be greatly provoked. A Model of the Kearsarge to Be Bntlt. Washington, Aug. 1L A novel feature of the reunion ot the naval veterans here at the coming G. A. K. encampment will be the erection of a model of the old warship Kearsarge, the conqueror of the Alabama, on the grounds adjacent to the White House. The model will be 240 feet long, built mainly of wood, armed with four gnns, and nave a cam as over the deck. The addresses are to be delivered from the poop deck, while the berth deck will be fitted with hammocks for the accommodation of the guards. Postmasters to Visit Neighbor, "Washington, Aug. 11. Letters have been sent by the Fostoffice Department to about 2,800 postmasters at county seats ask ing them to repeat this year, some time be tween August 1 and December 15, the vis its of inspection made by them last year to the' small postoffices in their respective counties. The experiment last year is said to have worked w ell in bringing the post masters at small places into relations with postmasters of larger experience, and thereby improving the postal service. The Danish Affair Unsettled. Washington, Aug. 11. The Danish Minister has notified the State Department that he has been informed by his Govern ment of the conversion of Consul Hyder. The Department has telegraphed Minister Carr. at his home in Illinois, to proceed to Denmark. Nothing will be done by the department in the matter until the case is settled by the Danish judicial authorities. Combination Perfect The predominating qualities of Flavoring Extracts should be absolute purity, excellent flavor and superior strength. All of these elements are combined in a perfect degree in Dr. Price's Delicious "Flavors; therefore if the housewife wants a complete cake, pudding or cream, she should make use of them. Those who want the very best flavorings are never disap pointed in purchasing Dr. Price's Vanilla, Lemon, Orange, etc., which are as natural as the fruit from which they are extracted.
