vestigation of the industrial situation

The results point out that BIG, 600 fewer

establishments in 2l states containing
80 per cent. of the manufacturing en-
ployees, than have beeu hitherto re
quired. For various reasons it is fair to
presume that "A more detailed inquiry

1t appears that Gen. Butler will
write his "reminiscences for the same
reason that prompted Gen. Grant to a
like line of industry-that of financial
necessity. A Massachusetts politician
ut the capitol said he had authentic
information that Butler, in considera-
lion of $4,000 in cash and limited
royalty had signed contract with a
New York publishing house to write
the history of his public career, to be
published in two consecutive volumes,

The rector of a large Episcopal
church in Atlanta, Ga, is now accused
Of being J. Wilkes Booth in disguise
Tor the reason among others that he
stubbornly refuses to show people his
neck. This is indeed most damning
evidence that he must be the long lost
Booth. For if he didn't have some
sort ola strawberry or mark to that effect
on his neck, why should he object to
show it? 1t is well known that all in
nocent men show their necks on the
slightest provocation.

CHAIRMAN BARNUM, of the Demo

CHAIRMAN BARNUM, of the Demo
cratic committee, says that the only
place he does not look for wholesale
changes is in the city of Washington.
He says, 81 think that many of the
department clerks will be likely to be
retained, at least where they are well
qualified and have proven their ability
and honesty by past work. The de-
partment clerks would thank him for
this Christmas offering, if they believed
it sincere.

1llS PCIolidl Weather, ldll Ill
the midst Of winter, cuts
short the sale of warmer
clothing of every sort. No
matter how cold the end of
December and January and
February and March may
be, the fact is fixed already
by the warm beginning that
thousands of people will bear
the cold with less precaution,
because it comes so slowly.
We are hardened to the win
ter by long expecting winter,
and by its slow approach.
We therefore change the
condition of trade by making
prices SO low as to attract
unwilling buyers. The
change is gradual, very grad
ual. Indeed the change is
less, because we made low
prices months ago; lower
than ought to be made in
prosperous times lower than
can be made in any but
calamitous times.
There is every reason to
believe that wholesale prices
have got to the bottom. Raw
materials of several sorts
have begun to be firm;
and some have begun to rise.
The prices of nothing in trade
have risen. Prices are there
fore at the very bottom. The
only further downward move
ments are reasonably sure to
be exceptional. Chances are
overwhelmingly the other
way on everything.
On the other hand the
probable behavior of retail
merchants with bills to meet
and stocks of goods on their
hands is worth your thinking
of. The instant the stay of
holiday trade is over there is
sure to be a general scram-
bic. Had you better wait
for the chance of buying for
less?
That is your question.
We have answered it already,
and this is only to keep the
answer in mind.
In the midst of holiday
trade upon goods adapted
for gifts, when the store is
looking uncommonly bright
with the glitter of gifts, when
thousands of givers are
thinking of bric-a-brac (Ev-
erything is bric-a- brac to us
that belongs to a month be-
fore Christmas), when peo-
pie throng the store to see
the spectacle, we are think
ing of the solidest merchan-
disc we deal in.
We advertise cloths and
dress-stuffs, dresses and
wraps, furs and overcoats,
clothing for man, woman and
child, gloves, hosiery, under
wear, neckwear, laces, hand
kerchiefs, linens in general,
bedding, mattresses. furni-
ture, carpets and rugs, house
keeping conveniences, china,
lamps, upholstery, books,
writing-papers, stationery
wares, pocket-books, bags,
hats, shoes, umbrellas, Japan
csc wares, baskets, toilet arti-
cles, playthings, and thou
sand more.
Why? Because we are
selling these things. Be

We are giving the
