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.
