W NORWALK GAZETTE. Tuesday. Dec. 2,1884. One Cause of Hard Times. It is hardly fair to charge all the dearth in business and the undeniable “ hard times” now experienced by business men and laborers throughout the country tO the chance eleCtion of Grover Cleveland. Yet it is equally true that this has had and is destined to have a still more depressing effect upon nearly all ourAmerican indus— tries and especially upon all our manufac- tories in any way affected by foreign competition. We chanced to meet Mr. Gilbert, president of the Gilbertd: Bennett Manufacturing company, the other day on the cars. They are, as many of our readers are aware, the largest manufac- turers of wire goods in western New Eng- land. Mr. Gilbert explained the reason why their factory at Georgetown had been compelled to cut down the wages Of its operatives, and even shut down a large degree of the productive capacity of his mills, and how and why the democratic victory in this country had stimulated foreign production and increased importa- tions of the articles manufactured by them and by most other manufacturers as well. He says the foreign, manufacturers and their American agents keep a most watch- ful eye upon everything going on in this country which can possibly affect their commercial interests. The foreign manu- facturers and their American importers were so eager to establish the free-trade party in power at the last election that they not only worked with all their might to that end, but contributed enormous sums of money raised by organized assess- ments upon European exporters to this market, and paid the same over to Mr. Barnum‘s democratic national committee. So ample were the amounts thus raised that the democratic national committee was never in want of means to carry on the most energetic measures for the over- throw of the party of protection to Ameri- can industries in this country. Just as soon as it was ascertained that Cleveland had triumphed, enormous orders for foreign manufactured goods were cabled from New York, Boston and Philadelphia by these American free-traders, importers and their agents, and already large con- signmentsof such goods are being landed here from every incoming steamer and vastly more are likely to come. When asked how it was expected that this large importation could be made profitable, the New York importers reply that it is simply a question of wages Of the opera- tives. In Europe the workingmen and women in the manufactories are compelled to work for whatever the mill owners can pay to save themselves from utter beggary and starvation. ' The American agent and the English or German manufacturer com- pute the cost of the raw material, add our tariff assessment, and then the difference between these two items of absolute cost and the prices at which the American fac- tory can turn out the same goods is thus ascertained, and in their determination to underscll the American products in our own markets and to save themselves from loss they grind it out Of their helpless and degraded operatives. There are already large stocks Of imported wire goods in New York, Mr. Gilbert says, and especial- ly of German make that the importers are selling at far less than any American fac— tory could produce them, and at an acknowledged loss to the importers. The reason is they can now make the same goods cheaper by reason of a greater re- duction in laborers‘ prices of wages, and as it will not pay to reship them back to Europe the orders are to sell them here for the best prices they can get, which, of course, is always below the cost of the same articles of American manufacture. He says that he can, just now, buy the same kinds of wire goods they now make at. Georgetown from German houses in New York for less than the wire out Of which these goods are made can be pro— duccd in this country. This explains the depressed condition of the American manufacturers and the distress that must inevitably result to their employees. It is true that the republican senate will for two years stand as a wall of adamant against any democratic legislation tending towards free-trade, yet the fact that the democratic party, which is recognized abroad. as the party of free-trade, has suc- ceeded in electing a president, has so en- couraged the foreign manufacturers that they are making strenuous and unusual exertions to become the masters of the market, and most Of these foreign manu- facturers are now running at their fullest extent on goods specially designed for the American trade. For this reason it is evident that our mill owners and opera- tives are likely to experience still greater depression and hardships and losses in their business in the next two years than in the past. It is to be hoped that these gloomy fore- bodiugs among the American manufac— turers may prove fallacious, but the pres- ent outlook is anything but encouraging. -—————"+>—~———- The Prohibition Vote. The republican party is defeated and James G. Blaine is stricken down, and it is by the defection of republicans who voted the prohibition ticket, and so have secured , the triumph of the rum party. and their debauched leader. We commend to them an editorial in the New York Evangelist by Rev. Henry M. Field, D. D. :— nn. BLAINE AND TEMPERANCE. As many of our readers are naturally interested in the position of Mr. Blaine in regard to thc temperance question, and to his own practice in the matter, we may mention that at the dinner given to him in this city on Wednesday of last week, we sat at t e same table with him for three hours, with only two persons between— Mr. Evarts, who presided, and Mr. Mor- ton, minister to. France—and that, accord- ing to the sumptuous fashion of Delmonico, six wine-glasses were placed at each plate, and that .Ir. Blaine, on taking his seat, immediately turned every one of his glasses upside down, so as to prevent the waiters from even approaching him with their bottles. “I see that you do not take wine," said Mr. Evarts. “No,” said Mr. Blaine; “ I find that nothing strengthens me so much as a cup of tea; that is better than all the spirituous stimulants in the world." He told us that in his recent trip (of which, he said, a member of the party had kept a record, and found that he had travelled, we think it was, ten or twelve thousand miles, and made between three and four hundred speeches), his solo refreshment after such exhausting labor .. had been ood black tea. Of course, “ the cup t at cheers but not inebriates," was ordered for him, and upon that he rose and delivered that eloquent speech of the evening. Merited Promotion. The friends of the “Byxbee Brothers" (and they comprise all of those that know them,) will be glad to learn that both Chas. S. and Fred L. have been promoted so that Chas. S. is now captain and Fred. L., pilot, of the steamer Harlem, now running between Wilson Point and New York. As the Byxbee brothers are born pilots, and steamboat men, the traveling public will feel entirely safe in their hands. These appointments will give much satisfaction and were merited. With Capt. Byxbce, Purser Mc.Gee. Pilot Byxbec, Mate Johnson, and Engi- neer Knickerbocker, the people who take the water route between here and New York will be sure of being kindly and safely cared for. —-—.-“O-—.-—-— Notice to Advertisers.

Dan: GAZETTE.—TO-dfiy the last session of this Congress convenes, and for the next three months the people will watch with anxiety and care, while their chosen representatives wrestle with" the public business. The session will probably be as uneventful as short. The principal business of the session will of necessity, be the carrying through of the appropria- tion bills. The ta-n'f reduction, it is as- serted, will be reintroduced by Morrison, he declaring that the election of Cleveland is an undeniable endorsement of his free trade doctrines. The land grant forfeiture, the bankrupt bill,fthe bill to stop the coinage of silver dollars and the bill to take the tax off of whiskey and tobacco, will be in- troduced and considered,if not passed. The whiskey and tobacco tax, “strikes at the vitals of the democratic party," and a ‘strenous eflort will be made for their abolition. The tax on the circulation of the national banks ought to be taken of! in the interest of the banks, the public, and depressed business everywhere. The pension laws are not yet satisfactory to some influential classes ;tho friends of the shipping interests look upon last winter’s legislation as merely preliminary, and are anxious to follow it up by broader measures; the educational bill presents its claims in the House; and two or three territories which have now a large and ambitious population are clamoring for the rights and dignities of states. A SMALL nnnr REDUCTION. It is estimated that the decrease in the public debt for the month of November will not be much over $7,000,000. The reason that the decrease is so much less than usual in due to a reduction in the revenues for the month and because of the heavy payments made from the treasury on account of pensions, amounting to $8,000,000. . The museum’s REPORT. The annual report of the Treasurer of the United States, Mr. A. U. Wymsn, shows that the net revenue of the govern. ment was less than that of 1888 by $39,- 767,712, having been $348,519,869, while in 1883 it amounted to $898,287,581. The net expenditules aggregated $244,126,244 ——a decrease from the amount in 1888 of $21,281,893. IsrsaasT CHECKS.

DOLLAR or THE DADS. Uncle Sam, to keep his silver mines In business, has bought 182,380,829 standard silver dollars, but in spite of his proverbial ingenuity he cannot persuade the people to absorb but 39,801,953 Of them, or 21.8 per cent. of his stock. But Uncle Sam is not discouraged. He has had two extra pockets sewed into his pantaloons capable of holding 72,000,000 more of dollars and proposes to fill them up. THE MIDDLETOWN BANK FAILURE. The controller of the currency has re- ceived a telegram from Bank Examiner May, in charge of the Middletowu National Bank of Middletown, N.

The aluminium tip for the capstones of the Washington Monument has arrived here from Philadelphia. The capstone will not be set until some time this week. hoisting apparatus have been placed in position and the remaining nine stones, including the capstone, have been hoisted to the little platform near the apex of the monument, where they will remain until the present rigging which ex- tends through the top of the mona ument is removed, and a new hoist— ing apparatus, consisting of a quadruped resting on the platform, with a block and tackle attachment, is erected in its place, by which the remaining stones will be hoisted and placed in position. The ex- terior of the shaft will then be finished, and the only work left will be the removal of the scaffoldings andtriggings. quanrans Iron mt outcomes.

The largest building ever put under cover for an exposition is the main building of the World's Fair at the Crescent City. It covers thirty-three acres of ground. Ev- erything will be readiness by the 16th of December for the final opening. The president and his cabinet and congress are invited to be present to witness the open- ing ceremonies. Business men and capitalists throughout the north and cast are forming large ex- cursion parties to visitthe exposition early in January. They will have an oppor- tunity of judging of the resources of the south and the new markets of Mexico and Spanish America [for our surplus manu- factures and articles of food. The low rates of transportation offered by the rail- ways to these business excursions will in- duce many thousands of business men, manufacturers and mechanics to avail themselves of this opportunity to visit it. The Georgetown, Connecticut, Wire Works will make an elaborate exhibit, and President Gilbert will soon leave for New Orleans and personally attend tO the display interests of his company there. Hon. Oliver Hoyt of Stamford, expects to join the first Massachusetts excursion train of palace cars and hotel car attached, that goes down. The excursionists will live on board of their Pullmans while at the Crescent City. _ ' ANOTHER osnrxar HEARD FROM. The latest cabinet gossip places Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton at the head of the state department, Hon. 0. M. Ingersoll of New Haven, secretary of the navy, Gen. Me Clellan of New Jersey, secretary of war, and Speaker Carlisle of Kentucky, as attorney-general.

While it may be true that victory tries men more than defeat, it is equally true that one of the severest tests of the true greatness of a man’s character is found in his capacity to bear up under defeat In some supreme effort. History says that Henry Clay was so soured by the success . of Polk in the presidential contest of 1844 ‘ that hishappiuess and health even were destroyed, and there is no doubt that the failure of his presidential as irations em- bittered while it shortened anicl Web- ster’s life. In the and death of Horace Greeley the present eneration has seen the direct result of b asted ambition, and it is among the possibilities that had the veteran editor not accepted the presiden- tial nomination of 1872 he might to-day be occupyin the editorial chair of the great journa which he founded. When it was finally determined that Grover Cleveland was to succeed President Arthur in the White House, and that James G. Blaine had been defeated b a scratch in the supreme effort of his ife. there were some who predicted and many who feared that the loss of the presidential rize would unsettle his vital powers. hey did not know their man, however. It is now in the trying time of defeat that Mr. Blaine is giviu the best evidence of the true greatness 0 his character. Even his political opponents are compelled to admit this, and from the lips of the men who most strenuously opposed his election he is winning the hi best tributes of raise. A notable case npoint is afforded by the Philadelphia Times, a newspaper which gave Mr. Cleveland most effective support during the campaign, but which ‘ has the honesty, now that the contest Is over, tO do justice to Mr. Blame. It printed yesterday a long letter from one of its special correspondents, who had been sent to Maine to ascertain how the republican leader was .bearlng Idefeat. Going back to Mr. Blaine’s retirement from politics in 1881, the Times norres- pondent refers to his defection to literary pursuits as follows :— . In the history of Henry ‘Clay he discovered almost the exact counterpart of his own past and forecast of the future. He seemed to en- joy the independence of private citizenship and the freedom of thought and action It gave him. The sort of mystery that surrounded his liter- arv work and the curiosity with which the public approaches every mention of it was pleasant to him. He seemed In love wrthhfe and the world, With no semblance of serious care about his every-day walks, and his ho as for the days ahead of him appeared to be 0st in the pleasures his literary work brought him. The nomination for the presidency last June was not sought for, and until the last moment was not looked upon by Mr., Blaine as possible. The correspondent 2 I l I I sa 9 :———- The fact that he did not want the nomination is not a judgment after the fact of defeat, for it oppressed him more than most people will ever be able to understand it. He almost faltcred in the presence of the great responsi- bility thrust upon him. This feeling was only momentary, however, and then the stubborn element of his nature took possessxon; and here was an end of his peaceful, pleasant life, and the thread. of practical politics was picked up at the point where it was broken off two years before. These are the O Imons, ar n- ments and knowledge gathers here at Is home. . . . Briefly revrewmg the campaign, and comparin it with that of Mr. Clay in 1844 the tmes writer says :—‘ His [Mn Blaine’s] part of the task was aggressive and brilliant to the point of audac- ity. It will live in history as the most remark- able event in American olitics for a long time to come. Its history. WI 1 be read even more frequently than that of the cam sign of 1844, ending in the defeat Of Henry C ay. Although beaten, the manner and matter of his ersoual contest is so attractive to every one .w o loves big touches of human nature in politics that he sits in the glamour of his schievments, so far as his neighbors are concerned, at least, almost as high up as if he had been successful. * * Mr. Clay was beaten upon a political issue, while Mr. Blaine was defeated by the stupidity of his managers and through a cam aigu of personalities. He has now accentedt e result with perfect good feeling and has dropped back into his quiet, methodical, homo-like ways of before the nomination. Already he has overcome the fatignes and disappointments of the campaign and resumed work upon the second volume of his “Twenty Years in Con- ress ” in the same systematic manner as be- ore he was allured from the pleasant task to try his hand again in the hazard of politics. Referring in another portion Of his let- ter to the manner in which Mr. Blaine has accepted his defeat, the writer says :— l-‘cople who expect to find him sour and ill— tempered after this defeat have reckoned with- out a host, and that other class who thought he would weaken and decline if he failed to reach the presidency may be prepared to see the same fresh breezy man as when he was on the highest wave of public favor. No matter how much people may differ about one’s methods, no citizen who loves positive traits of character, splendid mental gifts and the force to meet such a disaster and face it for a fresh hand can look upon this man as he bears his present disa ointments without a feeling of admiration. hen he reappears in the glare of social life at Washington, where be ex ected to go as ruler of the nation, they wil look upon a person still capable of great- things and having strong hopes for the future. . After referring to the general feeling In Maine that if Mr. Blaine esires he can be returned to the senate or to the lower house within two years, the correspondent concludes as follows :— There is also a belief that while Mr. Blaine ma so back into public life for a few years he wil not permit himself to be again pushed for the residency. His ambition seems to be simp y to take part in the movements which are to rebuild his party and at the same time demonstrate to the country that he is great enough to be beaten for the presidency without its breaking his spirit, destroying his tem )cr or indeed rushing the remaining years of tie life a burden to him. This is a creditable am- bition.

The Southern Programme. [Special dispatch from Springfield, 111., to the Chicago Tribune] William A. Kernan, ex-editor of the Okobona States, is now in Springfield, and in an interview with a reporter of the State Journal expressed himself as very happy over the result Of the election. He said :—- _ “Not only have we captured the capitol and the White House, but I have no doubt we shall have a majority in the judicial department of the government withiua year from to-day. Cleveland will have to yield to the control of the southern wing of the democracy, whose sentiments were endorsed by seven-tenths of our party during the war, and are endorsed at heart by them to-day. Union democrats and Beecher black republicans or independents constitute only a feeble faction in our camp, and we have only used them as tools." When asked to give his views of the ultimate Object of the democracy under the control of its southern wing, he said: " The re-establishment Of the doctrine of state rights, the subversion of the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments, compen- sation for Slaves lost by the emancipation, and a gradual reduction of the tariff with a view to placing this league to sovereign states upon a free-trade basis, and, at some convenient period, the pensioning of ex-Confederate soldiers.” Further on he says the southern democ- racy is firmly fixed in the doctrines of Calhoun and Jeff. Davis, and “ nullifles the nigger vote by means of rifle-balls, raw hides, tissue ballots and terrorizing. I laugh in my sleeve when I think of what is coming, and how cheap your indepen- dent republicans will feel when Our party begins to reverse the last results of the war.” When asked if he thought Cleveland would submit to the dictation of the solid south he said that there was no ques- tion about it, and “ by the time the election of 1885 comes around,” he added, “ we of the south will have the government so thoroughly in our hands that we will be in position to defy your minority party. But let me tell you one thing. We will not go out of the Union to establish our supremacy. We adopt the Stars and Stripes as our symbol, and will treat the last one of you as rebels unless you submit to our control. This is what we ought to have done in 1861, and this is precisely what we will do if you insult a majority of the people of the United States by elect- ing another Lincoln in 1885, and electing him by a minority vote. I speak by the book. I am lately from the south, and I simply repeat the programme of the prom- inent democrats I met there. I consider the election of Cleveland as a sort of moral cataclysm. It is a rebuke to the Boys in Blue and the vindication of the Guards in Grey. It rin 5 Lincoln out as a traitor, and rings Je . Davis as a patriot. From this time forward the social sentiment of the country will side with the democracy, and the result will be seen on the pages of history. The coming generation, influ- enced by democratic environments, will grow up to feel that the invasion of the south was an infernal outrage, and the enfranchisement of the nigger an act the criminality of which was exceeded only by its folly." When the reporter expressed a doubt of any purpose to pension the southern scldiers, Kernan said it was no fancy of his own. “It is an open secret in the solid south that societies have been organ- ized in that section for the purpose of de- manding these pensions at the proper time, and likewise payment for the manumitted slaves. I know personally several prom- inent planters who have kept accurate lists of their former bond servants and the yalue of them at the time Lincoln set them rec." When it, was suggested that the repub- lIcans would make orcible resistance be- fore they would permit all these objects to be accomplished h legislation, he said: “And if they do ma 3 armed resistance we will have the army and the treasury of the United States to back us, to say no- thing of the old confederates. No, sir. We have the black republicans down at last, thank Heaven I and we propose to keep them there. We propose to make the name of Lincoln and his hirelin s a stench in the nostrils of mankind. WVe propoae to revolutionize the overnment and model it after that of Jeff avis." Whatever the public may think of this talk there is no disguising the fact that Kernan conscientiously believes every word of it, and solemnly protests that in what he says he does not misrepresent anybody. ————-+o->————— “ Jerry" Donovan has presented a beauiful basket of flowers to each of the young‘lady operators at the telephone exchange.
