Yet the rativelv infant State of California has SSSffSmipnWIe building an American lla ot uhich every particle ami 1' '"B i.. nf home manufacture. I lie flag !5Scrtl23 over the old Crystal Palace w, venTn c'lor, -y Major K vie, of Pa orson, v j Thomas N. Dolo of the same city has within a month, received from ft party of French and Swiss immigrants, who are found inc a manufacturing and agricultural colony in Central Kansas, orders for thrown trams And orcanzines with which they purpose to make velvets for the Chicago market. Erly Anirrlenn Silk Hlfiniifaoliire. As early as 1747 Governor Low, of Cincin nati wore a coat made of silk which was rained and manufactured in his own State. In 1770 the English Queen was proud to wear, m a present from the colonics, an American made cown; and Charles II, in UJiiO, wore a coronation robe of American silk. The pro duction of raw silk in America was at lirst discouraged by company mismanagement, then by the speedy profitableness of tobacco, afterwards by the Revolution, and the easy production of cotton, and finally by the famous "silk mania," which began m l-r,. "Windham county, Connecticut, had produced o great quantities of raw silk that the atten tion of the whole country was excited, and Congress, that year, appointed a committee to investigate the subject of silk raising, with a view to legislative protection. The committee reported, in ls'ii, that the culture of the mulberry and the worm was ad visable for agricultural as well as economical reasons. Kichard Hush's ofliciul pamphlet on the subject was spread broadcast. The peo ple, during the next few years, speculated Jargely in the vwru.i M'lltiraulus, a species of mulberry, native of the Philippine Islands, and cultivated in France. Farmers in all the States planted a great number of mulberry trees. Even Maine offered premiums for raw Bilk. In is:0 a bill was introduced in Con gress for appropriating $ 10.000 to the estab lishment at Philadelphia of a ' 'nlature"in which young men and women might be taught, under the direction of M. Duponceau, the processes of raising and preparing raw silk, they to be teachers of others. It was ex pected that groat quantities of raw silk could be exported. 15ut it was during the Nullifica tion times, and the bill was lost. Notwith standing tho want of encouragement, States offered bounties for raising tho mulberry trees. Between ISlN nnd !'!:, twelve mills were erected in the United States for the manufacture of imported silk, until the home product should be sufficient. Large planta tions of trees were made; mills started up in the Eastern and Middle States; the young trees sold at the nurseries at high prices. A large class of the Bilk enthusiasts limited themselves to theories and pamphlets; yet at Troy, Concord, Hart ford, Philadelphia, and other places, largo sums were employed as capital for practical operations in the business. The lvhodo Island Silk Company, at Providence, used a capital of !&1)0,(MM), and established a large cocoonery. Industrial Fairs were filled with prize speci mens of silk weaving, in gimps, "sewings," and broad fabrics. Yet, in LSJi'i, in the height of the excitement, we imported over f 22,000,. M0 worth of silks. The excitement increased during '37 and ':JS. The mornn iDuUktinlut tree assumed a value in tho market scarcely inferior to that of gold in V.". Those who achieved anything in manufacture did it by costly experience and good luck. During this time importations did not cease, and no pro tection was provided, except on sewing-silk, which immediately, in consequence, became a desideratum. And the fact that American manufacturers to-day have the experience and facility to make as good sewing-silk as could be imported, and so greatly to rely upon that branch of manufacture, is due to its other logical fact, that a protective duty of iA per cent, was imposed on sewing-silks. In IS 12 a duty was imposed on all silks, but it was too late; the morn miiltimulu failed; a violent reaction ensued; the shipwreck was complete, lint many lessons were learned. Manufac turers began to use inmoi-tart Rillr f.iv want of home-cultivated, and the trade assumed its natural, normal condition. More Keren t Ouci-utiuim. Since jsio we have been learning to manu facture. It has been proved, however, that Americans can raise as good raw silk as other countries. The cocooneries of California are only experimenting, but they promise snro success. Mr. Cowdin reports that some of the finest cocoons at the Paris Exposition were from the Santa Clara Valley. The rains which, in Europe, during the feeding season destroy the worms, do not occur in California at that time. Tho worm is hatched about the middle of May, reaches maturity about tho first of July, and before the fust of August has formed its cocoon ready for market or reel. From the first of May till the first of October, m California, tho sky is clear, the air dry, the temperature equable. A Chi naman recently, in reply to the question what he thought of California as a Bilk-growing State, said he believed it to be the best in the world, because the blunderers at the cocooneries had not been able to kill half the worms. As a question of labor, California, with her thousands of China men, can compete with tho world. She has recently exported from the Santa Barbara colony 100 pounds of eggs, valued at $10,000 in gold. The raw silk which we import (free of duty) conies from China and Japan, though it first goes to England, whence wo purchase it at prices fixed by the market there, after the best has been chosen. Tho Pacitio Hail way will remedy that. It costs from to !firr0 per pound. Sumo of the Japanese wlk is cleaner and finer than tho Chinese. Oevennes silk is dearer than either, and ik used in weaving "silk-mixed" cassimeres. Considerable quantities of partly-manufacl tured silk are received by the importers through the Custom House under tho guise of raw silk, and so free of duty, the oflleer ignor ing or conniving at the fraud. The raw silk, purchased by the pound, conies baled in skeins of a yellowish-white color, and each thread is composed of from four to twelve threads of eocoon silk. A thread will sustain the -same weight as a threil of iron thejsame size. The raw silk contains from twenty to twtinty-five per cent, of gum from the worm. It also readily absorbs moisture to the amount of ten and even fifteen per cent. All French silks are "conditioned" at the Govern ment Assay Office. Eleven per cent, is de cided as the amount of natural increase by moisture; the silk is thoroughly dried by Hteam, weighed, and tho eleven per cent, added, the aggregate weight being that at which it must be sold, whatever the weight it may accumulate afterward. An official tabular statement nccompanies each package. .llHnurui'luMuu rrur-MDf. The f rfct jTocass t tjj American miuiufac- torv h to fcort the raw silk into si,:1, front enr te.mg required in every singe unit, me threads be equal in size, as inequality would produce a manufactured thread of uneven and unmanageable twist. It is then mmked in soapy water to dissolve tho gum and render tho thread pliablo nnd elastic. Tho skeins are slipped upon octagonal wicker "swift" reels, a dozen or more of which revolve on an axis fastened in the legs of each table. A thread from each reel-skein passes upward over a smooth metal or glass rod, fixed on the lateral edge of tho table, to its rovolving bob bin, upon which it is wound. After this pro cess the thread ' is guided between tho con tiguous edges of two sharp steel knives, resembling scissors, which cleanse it of gummy lumps and clinging waste, to another bobbin. This pro cess occasions considerable waste. Tho liner nnd more regular threads are now taken for making orgnnzines, which are the warps of woven goods. Coarser threads nre taken for trams or woofs. The most inferior are used for the manufacture of sewing silks. Loose nnd broken ends aro corded like cotton and spun into floss for embroidery. Tho twisting or "throwing" process is doue by passing tho thread of raw silk from an upright bottom through the eyo of a craned wire liver, which rapidly spins with t he top of -tho -bobbin to receiving bobbins revolving above. This thread is called a "single," and for orgnnzines receives from 12 to 1!) twists to the inch. Organzines or trams nro made by twisting together two of theso twisted threads, in an opposite direction to the former single twist, at the rate of from ten to seventeen turns to the inch; the two threads having previously been wound parallel upon one bobbin. Or gnnzines receive tight twisting to induce" strength and elasticity. A swing of two twists to the inch sometimes saves five cents to the pound in tho cost of labor, bnt may occasion greater loss in weaving. Two or three threads of a raw silk twisted loosely two to four times to the inch is tram, shute, or woof. In weaving, tho woof has little or no strain upon it, nnd it fills up the warp better by being soft and loose. The twist in silk threads is set by dampening and drying. Skein sewing bilk is made of three to ten threads twisted together, nnd two of these latter doubled. Sewing machine silk is trebly twisted. Button-hole twist is tho same, with a tighter twist. Twists in the single threads of sewing silks are ten to fifteen to the inch: and the doubled, eight to twelve. The organzines are reeled into skeins of one or two thousand yards each, enro being tnken to make them of the exnet length, as that compared with their weight determines the quality of the goods to be woven. The American sewing silk machine is a great improvement over the old-fashioned machine. By the aid of a few girls, the former at once doubles nnd twists the silk, nnd reels it into skeins of equal length; and it turns out 12.5 pounds a week. The cost of throwing raw bilk into organzines is I to $. per pound, a great proportion of that going to labor. Trams cost less. After weighing, the threads go to the dyer, who is charged with the weight; also with the number of skeins. As the manufacturer knows how much of each color should be re turned, little fraud or error can happen. Up to the time the silk goes to the dyer there is a loss of three to nine per cent, from cleaning, breaking, etc. It loses from eighteen to twenty-five per cent, of weight in dyeing by the boiling off of the worm gum, which is made up greatly by surcharging with sugar or dye. In the dye-house the silk skeins are tied to prevent tangling, and boiled for four or five hours in coarse linen bags, by which the hempy colors attain a lustre. Yellowish colors are "counteracted" to a pure white by the use of a little blue dye. This white dyeing costs liO cents a pound less than any other color. Of white colors the manufacturer receives back from the dyer 12 ounces for every pound. The aniline or bright colors cost if 1 ."() to iV.-rf) a pound to dye. Tho light greens nre the most expensive. They also return 12 ounces to the pound. High colors nre cheapened in the weight by the addition of three ounces of sugar to 12 of silk. Drabs and slates nro dyed with sumac, nt a cost of a dollar a pound, and return 1 1 ounces. Blacks nre dyed with nitrate of iron nnd cutch, nnd also logwood, n bluish shade, especially for velvets, being desirable. Blue-blacks return 14 ounces; plain blacks the full compTeniont, losses being compensated by surcharging. Surcharging can bo carried to the extent of trebling the weight of the silk. After dyeing, the skeins nre dried on bars in a close steamed room, mid then lusl red by passing over hot cylinders. Sewing-silk is softened iy wring ing, nnd tied into skeins for sale. Trams and orgnnzines nro then rewound upon bobbins, and again rewound to give a proper tension to the thread before weaving. l'renriil Condition ami Prospect. Such is the extent to which the American trade has usually been earned, though pon gees nnd foulards ware woven in Connecticut, and ribbons in Baltimore, twenty years ago. During the last ten years the manufacture of ribbons has increased rapidly. Tho Cheney Brothers of Hartford nro making great quan tities of parasol coverings; tho Dola Comp.uiy at Paterson nre making tailors' trimmings, scarfs, and braids; Dexter, Lambert & Co., of tho same city, make this season itOOO yards of knotted fringes, and 2500 yards of bullion fringes per day, driving the foreign goods out of the market. Tim processes of trimming manufacture are too intricate and tedionx for popular description. An examination of the goods will show a dulicatoly-knottod thread, or a base of cotton wound with silk. Broad silks nre.woven upon tho plain loom, nnd figured ones upon the Jncquard. Tho operations are delicate and costly. To get the proper length of warp for a piece, nnd at the same time to lay a sufficient number of the warp threads together, amounting sometimes to .MX mi or titi(M), the tln-eads from a great number of boWnns, rolling in a frame like the old school counting frame, are reelod backward and for ward together on a large reel. These ag.iiu are rewound upon a largo drum to give th 3.11 tension and lay them the right distance apart, the operation being afterward com pleted by passing each thread by hand be tween the teeth 01' a large brass comb, a id while they tve stretched cleaning th-mi by hand with small scissors. Narrow gooU are woven upon a small adaptation of the plain or the Jacquard looms, a dozen or m ve of which aro operated upon- the same table. "Watered goods' iuh made by laying a piece of woven plain goods upon another, and paswing them behind mm cylinders, one heated, (he, tension nnd abrasion of tho surfaces pro ducing tho watered effect. In chine goo J), the figure is pai nt i d upon tho close war), n'id woven in by tho woof. "Shot" goods nre woven with the vnrp of one color, and tho woof of another. For tho best ribbons Ita lian warps are used. Bandannas and other loose goods are made of waste and cocoon covers, scutched, chopped, and spun, like cott.m. This "spun" is also used by some American manufacturers for the woofs of broad goods. The Murray Mill nt Paterson was about to bo used in this trade before it was recently burned.! Inferior ulks we produced altogether from "spun." Bnt the latter, being loose in texture, is best if used as a woof, with web or pure silk warp, when it makes a good article. Who Are In tlie Bnninrsn. At the present time American silk fabrics arc competing favorably With European goods. In braids and trimmings wo have, driven foreigners out of tho market, and our ribbons are purchased as freely as theirs. But it is with broad silks that the manufacturer will experiment, and produce, and succeed, during the next ten years. P. (. Givenaud, of West Hoboken, nnd John N. Sterns, of First ave nue, New York, now turn out respectively several thousand yards of iros rraiti silks per week, which no man in tho trade can tellyt the bfnt importid articles, and which retail on Broadway for $'." per yard. With the present tariff of 00 per cent., American manufacturers can throw and weave silk goods at a profit of 15 per cent. There are now in Philadelphia 30 trimming factories, thoseof Graham, Horst mnnn (carriage and military trimmings), and Hensell nnd Cornet being the largest. At Hartford nnd South Manchester tho Cheney Brothers, who have been engaged in tho busi ness thirty years, employ 10(H) hands, and have the following capacity per annum: 00,(1(10 pounds of thrown silks, 00,000 pounds of "patent spun," 100,000 pieces of belt rib bons, and Ci0O,0(M) yards of wide goods, com prising dress silks, yrm yraiits, poplins, fou lards, and pongees. The Dole Manufacturing Company,- which, in ISC..", built at Paterson, N. Jr, a mill probably as large as any in En rope, having a mean length of :$75 feet and a height of four stories, turn out ;!)00 pounds of manufactured threads per month, 1000 gross of silk braids, 000 gross of hat bands, nnd H.500 yards of serge, performing within the mill every operation necessary to produce the goods from the raw thread, nnd employing IS00 hands, mostly children of Paterson ma chinists. JohnN. Sternsof New York is making 400 yards of woven goods per day, and M. Givenaud over :). Dexter, Lambert & Co., at Taterson, mnke (50, not) to 7r, 000 yards of dress trimmings per month, and during the past spring season manufactured 12,000 dozen yards of bullion trimmings. Hamill & Booth's Passaic Mill, beside making trams and organ zines, is employed in the manufacture of dress goods. Nearly nil the Paterson mills are en gaging in this specialty, the Dole Company having introduced a large number of improved American looms; and the Murray Mill, which was burned in May, but w ill be immediately rebuilt, will be employed in weaving broad goods of net warps and "spun"' fillings. Ame rican dyers are succeeding in producing as fine shades of color as the French. Claude (Ueppo, at Paterson, with :!." dyers, some of them from France, is daily turning out :i."0 pounds of dyed silk, the colors of which nre equal to any produced at Lyons or St. Etienne. The American Velvet mill started at Paterson a few years ago failed. New York city contains probably ro estab lishments for various grades of the manufac ture; many of them are small. At Schenec tady, Troy, and Yonkers are also several mills. Paterson is the headquarters of the trade, and contains. 15 factories. The ope ratives are mostly children of mechanics, the majority of them girls, who earn from $4 to if 7 a week In the trimming and weaving mills skilled operatives, brought from Lyons, receive as much as $:!." a week for piece work during the spring season, nnd girls trained to the labor earn !) and iff 10 a week. Protection Needed. The enthusiasm with which manufacturers are entering into broad-weaving, which is j ust now springing up with promise, presages the future course of the trade. They say, "Give us protection, and we are safe."' However selfish they maybe the wish, the result 1 to labor remain unaltered. Reduce them to free-trade, and three millions of silk capital in Paterson alone will bo annihilated. Beside this, more than three thousand silk operatives in that city will be reduced to beggary. Three hundred of these, by the demoralization of idleness, will seek lives of prostitution in New York. Two hundred more, from tho desperation of idleness, will follow in their footsteps. The farmer's lands and crops will consequently decrease in value. Thirty thousand people, in that single city, who de pend, however unconsciously, upon these operatives, will sell no goods to them when they are scattered, and will have no money with which to purchase French silks. We have advanced to that success under moderate protection, whence we cannot, must not re cede. Even with the protection we have, the navy of Britain nnd tho army of Napoleon nre loss formidable to our national life than the organization of weavers at Leeds and Lyons and St. Etienne. Not long ago it was discovered not by the customs officers, but by watchful manufacturers that foreign im porters were sending to their agents here hol low blocks of ribbons, with a piece outside which paid duty, and a piece inside which paid none. Even now they fight us with loss to themselves. After selling to the European market, French manufac turers send the surplus to America, and sell it for less than it cost, rather than lose it altogether. The American importers of foreign goods are in league with the foreign manufacturers. They do not propose, in fair play, to give us "the choice of two markets;" they bring patience and money and chicanery to break down our mills, nnd reduce us to the necessity of buying in Europe. Tho practi cal logic of free trade is, one market, and that market Europe. A few years ngo American importers tried the pJan of assuming to shure with manufacturers in the production of American goods. Of course the stylo of goods was made a they ordered it. They ordered it oS inferior quality, labelled it os tentatiously "American silk," put in thir warehouses beside foreigu goods, and ruined their dupes. From acts sueh ns these, and, confessedly, from the indiscretion of some of our own manufacturers, a stigma attends Amcricnn silks. A manufacturer recently made a lot of ribbons, and purchased a right to use an importer's label; he labelled half the lot ax of a foreign make, and the other half as of American. In the auction room the goods under foreign labels brought over seventeen per cent, move than their other half! The only defensive weapon of the American manufacturer, under protec tion, is n'lml xilkH. Do not make them he vvy, with inferior "spun" fillings. Use a go ,1 quality of woof and wnrp and make them thinner, if need be. Tho tariff prints its pro tection to silk as at sixty per cent., ImJ, with the average of deductions, it does not amount to fifty. If, however, a strict specific duty of tixty per cent, can be collected, we can in less than ten years drive tho last threads of foreign goods to tho historical societies, as relics of our weakness nnd unwisdom.
