Cathoy, formerly principal of the North Brownsville school, is here, The doctoi expect to locate somewhere in the valley: Jaine Callawuy returned from California last Saturday. He has been in California since last Novembei and is loud in his praises of the golden state. Last week many of our citizens were some what startled at the announcement in the Oreyunian that the woolen mills at this plsce were going to be moved to Albany. We have been daily looking for tho sled that is to take the mills away. There is consider- ble of the ludicrous in that article and in that "knowledge" of the Democrat. Verily one has to beaway from borne to learn the iin poraat news. We do not mtend to question any proposition Mr. Kay may have inaae to your citizens. M r. Kay is iu every respect an honorable man aod will no exactly as he says. But the very fact that Mr. Kay is able to carry out such a proposition, as is accredited to Hun by tne democrat, is me very oust recommendation of our manufacturing facili ties, rlftcen years ao Mr. Kay arrived here without a cent, so to speak. Every dol lar he is worth to day came oat of the wool en mills hero. If he is now sb'.e to build a mill of twice the capacity of this mill on the very small bonus of fifteen thousaud dollars, this mill certainly has nut been playing a los ing game. Ibis company, to tne certain knowledge of your correspondent, would not exchange their present water power for any like power it is in Albany a power to give. As we stated at the start, we are not denying anvthinu imnuted to Mr. Kav. for that we don't know, but do know the B. W. M. Co. entertains no such a thought as was published in your paper receutly. Our republican orators and papers are still working hard to make the laboring man be lieve that hia existence depend upon a high protective tax. It ia only neceasary to con vince a person to the contrary, to read care fully the editorials of tho Oretoman. Tbe editor ot that paper baa written too many able editorials proving that the eontrary is true to be an expert in making such a fallacy seem correct. For instance note his recent editorial on cotton and wool. He states that we not only have climatic advantagea tor raiaing cotton, but the cheapest of labor; but here be tumps to tne wonderful conclusion that on account of England's cheap labor she makes cotton into the fluer fabrica and ahipa them here in apite of the tariff and free cot ton. There aie now a large number of mills in the eoathern states employing cheaper lab or than Eugland has. Now if the fact that cheap labor ia what enablea England to make the finer cotton fabrics cheaper than we can, why ia it that the hated South hasn't just completely flooded out markets with cheap goods? It ia perfectly dear that labor ia not the all important factor to thia result. Again on the wool business be saya our wool comes into competition with the wool raised in Rus sia, where the labor is semi-alave, henoe needs protection on the labor nacd in the rais ing of woelin this country or will be reduced to a level with the semi-slave labor of Russia. Now our wheat is sold in the aame market with Russia wheat, ia transported aroutd Cape Horn in order to reach that market Still the labor necessary to produce that wheat is not reduced to such a iovel, much le?a would the labor engaged in wool raising. since tha wool would all have to come here to be in competition. Blind indeed must be the laborer that cannot see that a protective taiin cannot sheet the wages or avast major, ity of their number, except to lower them. IIOMK ANli AHKDAI).
