We are often asked If American fabrics arc as
cheap as imported what need there can be Of Pro
tective Dutiesl The following simple statement
Of fact affords one OF many answers to this qoes-
ton
Being casually in an extensive and fashionable
dry goods establishment in Broadway, we were
asked TO step up stairs and examine It's stock OF
Shaws--a splendid and vast assortment, at all
prices from $50 to $780, worth perhaps in all some
s2oo, 900. Having looked at all the goods shown,
we asked to see some american Shawls There
were none. But surely, we insisted there ought
TO be American Shaws in so large ali assortment
as this we have seen very good ones from Belle
vile, n. j and other places at our American + airs
Yes, replied the merchant. there are pretty good
American.made shswlsi those Of Bellevills are
sold by manning che agents here bat they are
sold so low, and al such fixed and well known
prices, that cSvd not make more than ve TO ten
per cent profit on them, 50 ire do not keep them
This is the substance of the answer-probably not
the exact words
Here it will be seen that American iabuos are
well nigh shut out of our own best markets-ior
we understand the same policy is pursued at most
of the fashionable stores where the great majority
OF Sbawls are bought-not because they are TOO
dear TO compete with their Foreign rivals but actu
ally because they are too cheap. The merchant
must live and to do this must sell the article that
he can make the best profit on 'Dear-bought and
far-fetched' is the very thing for him. But viii
consumers never be WISER
