That which Is spent in rejecting goods solely be-
cause they are cheap, such course may do for
then its wisdom Is doubtful. Cheap goods are as q

the idea that Il Is economy TO buy goods for very
small sum without regard TO quality. A pair Of
hose at ten cents may seem wonderfully cheap,
but they may be dear at any price, while pair at

Yesterday Mr.. Bliss resumed his argument in
the star-route trial. lie alluded to Mr.. Brady's
retroactive orders, and said it would not be the
course of any honest officer to take the affidavit of
any contractor as conclusive and make it the
basis of his orders. He alluded to the loose way
in which oaths had been accepted from inter-
ested people without any investigation, and eX-
pedtions been made on the strength of them. He
asked If there could be any question of the ill.,
huences that prevailed in the Office of the Second
Assistant Postmaster. General at the time these
orders were made.
MR.. BLISS MADE A THOROUGH ANALYSIS
of the oaths in testimony, pointing out their dis.
expeditions. In regard to the petitions he re-
ferred TO them simply as a cover, and that Mr..
Brady could not protect himself because they
were indorsed by Congressman He said II
was legitimate for contractors to circulate petit
tions, but 1t was not legitimate for them to use
fraud and deceit as these men had DONE Mr..
