ENGLAND PROSPERING AT OUR
EXPENSE.
The English newspapers are furnish'
ing good campaign arguments for the re
publicans. In noting the great revival
in the manufacturing industries of Great
Britain they offer a marked contrast to
the Eituation in the United States,
Since the "tariff reform' legislation has
been enacted English mills have been
pushed to their full capacity while there
is a disastrous diminution in the output
of American factories. England has
been built up at the expense' of the
workingmen of this country. The
English laboring classes are enjoying
the fruits of democratic legislation and
the only unpleasant feature in the situa
tion is the fear that the United States
will repent of its folly and restore a pro
tective tariff at the earliest opportunity.
The following from the London Financial
News shows how England la profiting
by the Wilson bill :
"The great prosperity of the wool
trades has, fortunately, more than offset
the retrogression in cotton, though that
reflection brings small consolation to
Lancashire. The total gain for the nine
months under yarns and textiles is $16,
' 288,375, and as the value of woolen tis
sues taken by the United States has
been about $4,750,000 and of worsted tis
sues nearly $15,000,000 greater than in
1894, no further search for the origin of
the improvement in the trade returns
need be made. The lowering of the
American tariff has been our salvation,
and it cannot be said that we have
showu much reciprocity; for, instead of
taking the increased value of our ship
ments across the Atlantic in kind, we
setm to have bought less American pro
duce. It is needless to go beyond our
own board of trade returns to find an ex
planation of a good deal of the monetary
trouble in the United States.
"Practically every penny that was
subscribed here toward the recent
American loan has been got back through
the recent expansion in the exports ot
woolens and worsteds; but the United
States has not confined her increased
purchases to those articles. Last month
ehe bought less raw wool than in Sept
ember, 1894, but had to pay more for it.
She took more cotton pieces, more iron,
more alkali, and more of sundry articles
which need not be specified. In some
irjetances the rapid growth of the pre
ceding months resulted in a slight check
in September, but in all these cases the
figures of the nine months show a big
advance in 1894. On the other hand, we
have paid a good deal less for American
wheat, flour, bacon, hams, cheese,
tallow and cotton, to mention only those
articles in which the contraction is most
apparent.
"The fact that the Argentine Republic
heads the United States in respect of
maize Is not without significance. Thus
the trade balance between the states
and this country is moving rapidly
against the former, and it would require
a large and regular transference of secur
ities from New York to London to re
dress this tendency and restore the
former position. And with India, Ar
gentina and Australia keeping up and
even improving their position as pur
veyors of wheat to this country, with
Argentina sending more as the United
States sends le9s tallow, it will not be
easy for the Americans to regain their
old footing in our market."
Exports of English wool to the United
States this year, to September 30, were
10,542,000 pounds as against 3,689,700 in
the same months in 1894. The ship
ments of foreign colonial wool, that
passed through the United Kingdom in
transit for this country, were 96.016,300
pounds this year and 26,085,466 pounds
in 1894. The total increase this year
was 77, 583,000 pounds, which supplant
a similar quantity of American wool.
The employes of the defunct State In
surance Company at Salem have chal
lenged the men recently employed in
the woolen mills, juBt burned, to a
game of football. The situation has a
eort of grim humor about it which is
much better than moping over losses
which cannot be helped. A little phil
osophy is a good thing in the trying cir
cumstances which have come to Salem.
From the monthly weather report just
issued by the government, it appears
that one-half the counties in Michigan
did not receive a drop of rain during
October. The drouth has been general
over the entire country and though we
are short of moisture in Oregon tbre
are places much worse off.
Salem Statesman : The board of
directors of the Salem woolen mill held
a meeting yesterday afternoon at the
company's office on 12th street, the pur
pose being to discuss the question of
whether or not it would be possible to
rebuild the mill. . After investigating
their resources and liabilities they find
that they are not now able to build and
equip another mill unless receiving out
side aid. However, they are anxious to
rebuild, if possible, and make a proposi
tion to the people that they will increase
their capital stock from $75,000 to $100,
000, and, if parties can be found who
will subscribe and pay for the additional
$25,000, they will agree to build a "four
set" mill and equip it with three sets of
machinery to start on. The old one was
a two-set mill.

Electric Bitters.
v Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed in Spring, when the languid
exeausted feeling prevails, when liver
is tori id and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternate is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the malarial
poison. Headache, Ind igeMion, Consti
pation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. Only lifty cents per bottle at
Blakeley & Houghton, Druggists.
