MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE NOT
ROB HER BARONS.
It is said that twenty-five, of the cor
porations of Full Kiver, Mass.j repre
senting u capital of $14,410,000, and
operating forlj--ix mills, pail in divid
ends, during the year 1890 $236,350, on
an average of only 1.64 per cent. Ten
corporations operating eleven mills and
representing a capital of $4,508,000, paid
nn liii1arir1u lit all Ttoilt,cr frlA loot
quarter, out of forty corporations at
Fall River, representing sixty-five mills,
twenty -three, owning' forty-two mills
have declared dividends averaging 1?4
ercent. Twelve corporations! operat
ing fifteen mills and representing a cap
ital of $-,568,000, have paid nothing on
their invebliuunt aud many of them
have Joht hfeavily. Tliiti discouraging
state of ii (Tail 8 is not attributed in any
degree to a falling off in the export de
mand. Our exports have shown an in
crease in both cotton and woolen manu
factures, but w ith a reduced home con
sumption there has .come an increased
production. It is said that ten new
woolen mills were e tar ted during the
first-week in June last, and this has oc
curred in spite of the present closing of
mills and the general immobility of
goods. Bradstrect's attributes the de
pression of the New England cotton
mills to the sharp competition that has
arisen from the development of the new
mills in the South. These mills have
many permanent natural advantages
which can only be counterbalanced by
greater economies in production and
skill employed bv New England manu
facturers. Thev pay less for transports
tion on their. materials, they are nearer
the coal fields and the cost of labor is
less. Hours of labor are longer, while
the Massachusetts mill owners are
threatened with an eight hour law, and
have been prevented, by state legisla
tion, from ' fining their operatives for
careless and imperfect weaving. In view
of these facts it is hard to believe half
the stories -we hear nbw-a-days about
robber barons and greedy cotton and
woolen manufacturing corporations who
pocket the tariff and otherwise robthe
people. The fact seems to be that com
petition, in these industries has reduced
the profits of the manufacturer and the
cost to the consumer to a point below
which it seems impossible to go without
loss and bankruptcy. . If there are rob
ber barons, and we ' have not a doubt
there are plenty, of them, they can
scarcely be said to be running cotton
and woolen mills in New England,
A FINE SHOWING.
, The bureau of statistics of the treaa
. ury department have issued a' review, of
our foreign commerce for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891 that presents a
very renin rkable and encouraging show
ing. . A comparison is' made between the
imports and exports of the past nine
months and those of the corresponding
nine mod hs preceding the fiscal yea
; The total commerce of the past, fiscal
. year was the greatest in the- history of
the government and exceeds the total
' value of the commerce of 1890 by $82,-
; 191 ,8Q3. . The total com merce during the
past fiscal year amounted to $1,726,330,
806. While there has been an increase
In our imports of coffee tin plate, .hides
and skins, , fruits, chemicals and drugs,
.India rubber, and gutta perch a, sugar
and molasses, there has been a decline
in the imports of wool and its manufac-
. tures. silk and its manufacturers, hemp
and jute and their manufactures, , bread,
stuff" and animals.. The total value of
exports was $884,425,405 which, is an ex
cess over the . previous. year, of $39,519,
Sl4 . There was also an excees.of exports
of domestic merchandise of $26,041,737.
The value of Imports of merchandise ad
baiUted free, during the past nine months
was $295,963,665 which ...is. an increase
over the previous nine montTrsrof $86,
979,792. 4There, has beeh a decrease dur
ing the pas nineiontbs.in the value of
. .dutiable imports amounting to $55,548,

new tariff law Weft t Into effect', of the
' total value of me'rch andise. i m ported in
to the county, 46,96 per cent, came in

Mosieb, July 28th 1891.
Editor Chronicle The weather has
been quite warm for the past week. The
thermometer was up to one-hundred in
the shade on Thursday and Friday, but
to our relief came the cooling' zephyrs on
Saturday. Fruit growers have finished
their shipments of early fruit. Corn
crops look well, though we fear the yield
will not be as bountiful , as expected.
Mr. A. Craft who has been visiting here
for 6pme time, returned to (his home, in
Sherman County, accompanied by Mr.
Elmer Root, who will remain during the
harvest. Mrs. S. L. Young and Miss
Stoten of The Dalles are visiting at Mr
Husbands'.
Mr. Ed. Phillips after a short visit to
his brother, C. J, Phillips, returned to
Tacoma on Monday.
We bad.. quite, a pleasant time at the
Grange last Saturday. We had some
visitors '" from our sister state. Our
grauge is prospering although quite a
number of our officers are absent for the
summer.. We have .several hew appli
cants and. hope there will be be more
soon. Everybody in. Mosier is well, I be
lieve, at least all seem to be alive to
their own Interests, as rumor says there
are six petitions in circulation in this
vicinitv. ....... M. G.
Senator Hheraiao'i Views. ' -
Senator Sherman, who declares he
would do anything in his power to ad'
vance the market value of silver to its
legal ratio to gold, believes this can only
be done in concert with other commer
cial nations ; the attempt to do' it by the
united istates alone wouia only demon
strate our weakness. "We ' have." he
says, "provided by existing law for' the
increase of money to an amount greater
than the increase of business and popu
lation ; but even if more monev is re
qnircd, there are many ways of provid
ing it without cheapening the purchas
ing power ot our money or making a
wide difference between the kinds of
'money in circulation, based on silver
and gold. More than 92 per cent, of all
payments are how made in checks, drafts
and other commercial devices. All kinds
of circulating notes are -now equal to
each other, and .are kept, at the gold
standard by redemption and exchange.
Our money and our credit are how equal
to or better tnan tnose ot tne' most civi
lized nations Of the world. ' Our produc
tions of every kind are increasing, and
it seems to me almost a wild lunacy for
us to disturb this happy' condition by
changing the Standard of all contracts,
introducing special contracts payable In
gold, and. again, paying gold to the cap.
italiste and silver at an exaggerated price
to the tarmer, laborer ana pensioner.

Boiling Clothes with Kerosene.
For, a boilerful of clothes use two-
thirds' of a cake of soap and four table
spoonfuls of kerosene. Lessen the quan
tity both of soap and kerosene for a
small washing. Put cold rain water
kerosene cannot be used with any but
rain water in the boiler, to the depth
of three or four inches: shave up the
soap, meaaare the' kerosene, and add
both to the water while it is cold. Boil
together thoroughly, watching that it
does hot foam over bh the stove. Then
add enough cold water to boil the clothes
tn and put them in the best white ones
while the water is cold. Bring to . a
boil, and boil steadily for ten minutes,
Take out into a tub of cold rain water
and suds.
Rinse and blue in' still other waters.
There will be ho rubbing, except to' get
the suds out, for the dirt has all disap
peared.. Add to the suds in the boiler a
little . more .soap and . kerosene if there
are many towels, etc., for the next batch:
After it boils well cool a little with cold
water, and pnt in. the dirtiest of the
white clothes. These will boil during
the sudsing and rinsing of the first tot.
Wash the colored clothes in the sudsing
water by hand, or with a machine if pre
ferred. Flannels especially wash easier

Dr. Holmes opened a paper sent him
by a friend in England, and behold, it
