MARKETABLE BEAUTY.

Beauty, Mr.. Gladstone says, is one Of the
qualities which purchaser looks for in the
object he buys; subsequently,, if more
beauty is given to the objects manufactured
by English workmen, they will become
more attractive to the purchaser, and he
will be likely to buy more of them, and to
give higher price for those he buys.
This is especially to be borne in mind in
articles intended for the American market.
If the English producer wants to sell his
goods in America he must leap over the
barrier raised by hostile tariffs, and in or
der TO do this he must give his goods some
quality which similar goods made IN Amer
lea want, If he can give them beauty,
this condition will he satisfied, for as yet
the Americans have been too busy 10 think
Of making their work beautiful.
In the same way he may hope to com
pete on more equal terms with the coun-
tries which have hitherto been in advance
OF England in respect to taste. England
tor example, now exchanges patterns in
cotton goods with France, whereas 80 year
ago she only took patterns from Frances
j so far as this process Is extended to all
the manufactures common to the two coun-
tries, the other excellences Of English
work will have better chance OF making
their way abroad.
Therefore. il workman "can learn to
appreciate beauty in industrial production,
he is increasing his own capital
as truly and as substantially as if he could
add 70 the muscles of bis arms by doubling
their force all at once. He is introducing
IN the work he produces an element COM
paratively new TO him, but an element
which add to the comforts he can command
