Muslin underwear has

in cities the change may be
said. to have been accom-
plished. The advantage is so
much with the factory that
home work has come to be
extravagant; and then,if one
wants to be eXtravagant, she
can be so to any length,
avoid the drudgery of family
sewing, and gain by the shift
in every way.
Country women haven't
learned how yet, excepta few.
They haven't learned how to
do any part of their shopping
to the best advantage. They
are accustomed to the ways
of country stores, or at best
of the stores of country cities.
They haven't found out how
far behind those rural mer-
chants are in the modern sci
ence of trade. They would
do well to inquire where the
people who live in these
country cities shop. Shop
ping is not a city privilege ;
but city women learn it first.
1t is getting to be the fact
that country-cIty merchants
live on country trade. 1t is
going to be the fact that local
merchants everywhere will
have to open their eyes, or
lose the country trade as
well.
Muslin underwear is an
excellent test of a store.

men in Philadelphia itself

DEMOCRATIC UNH4PPINESS.

II does not seem to be surprising that there Is
GOODNESS between GreystOne and the White
House. 1t was not a snail natter that after Mr.
Tilden. in the estimation OF his friends, had
virtually appointed President to fill the office
for him. n Collector at New York was appointed
against Mr.. Tilden's recommendation. The
feelings of the Greystonc coterie were also ex-
ceedingly exacerbated by President Clevelands
letter to Governor Hoadly condoning the I'M
uardonable offence of having forgotten " the
great fraud" in 1876 and the chief actors
therein. Really, it would seem that these
things were enough. But now comes the dis
closure that the appointment of Mr.. Bcattic rs
Surveyor at New-York was peculiarly insulting
to Mr.. Tildcn 1t seems that Mr.. Beattie, when
editor of The Richmond County Sentinel III
1876, actually spoke with snecring contempt OF
the venerable Sage OF Grcysto lie called
him the political Hercules" snecred at his
claims of reform, laug he'd at the advertising
lodges of Bates and Locke by means OF which
he was made known to the universe rs the
great smasher of rings and, III if all that was
not enough, he asked:
Did the Janus faced state rights advocate ana seccs
sion eder that dshonors the gbernatora chair
of our parotc state do In 1850 aud isGl 10
rebeillous hero OF "A traitoroas South
No wonder Mr.. Tildcn does not like to think
that the President of his own manufacture has
rewarded with fat Office. one of the latest in
his Kilt, the person who talked about Hercules
Tildcn in 1876, called him n State rights
advocate and SECESSION breeder" and declared
that he dish0n0rcd the office of Governor.
There must be a great deal of long suffering
patience in Mr. TIldens composition II he Is
not considerably rritated by such selection.
But, coming after che other causes of offence, It
has probably seemed to him to justify anything
but kindly feeling toward the political acci-
dent who owes his present place, in Mr..
Tilden's opinion, to Mr. Tilden's perception OF
his political possibilities.
On the whole, the Democratic party does not
grow more united or harm onious as time flies
on IL has its disagreement Is, too, in the very
States i'm the Uuion in which there Is u eatest
need of harmony In political aspect, New
York il more important to the Democratic party
than any other State because it clearly could
not succeed without New-York. And, next to
York. Ohio is more important than any
other State, both because Of the magnitude oil
lts electoral vote AMI because its elections are
held in October and powerfully influence pub
lie opinion in other States But the Democratic
party since Mr.. Cleveland cane into office has
met with more trouble in Newiork and Ohio
than in any other States, and there are not
many bold enough to believe that il could carry
either of those States if an election were to be
held at once.

During the past week the bull market
reached the highest point touched since the
second week in September, 1884, but then
brought to light so much realizing and so much
speculative opposition that IL was arrested, at
least for the time. The prospect in the trans
portatiOn business was OycrclOuded by some
unfavorable symptoms and no distinct change
for the better appeared in the industrial world.
The banks began to lose part of their super
abundant reserves and the Treasury made per-
ceptble progress toward getting relief from
excessive receipts of silver. The crop pros
there are some complaints. as is usual at this
season, that the weather is not at all points
such as would be most helpful.
The speculation in wheat, after an unreason-
ing advance on Monday to 81 OPS for August
delivery, declined to 99ll cents on Saturday.
closing at $685. about two cents below the close
of the previous week. Published statements
in great number and with great wealth Of i'm
aginatiOn, exaggerating the loss OF wheat, have
had no effect for some weeks past, and the ten
dency of the market has been toward general
acceptance of the Agricultural Bureau reports
as to the probable yield, and the estimates
showing n probable surplus of 120,O0O,OOO
bushels on hand. The San Francisco Exchange
estimates that $500, 900 bushels remain
hand in California and report the yield better
than was expected, with very fine quality.
Corn slightly declined, and oats declined about
one cent and nearly recovered. Pork was
steady, lard shade lower, and cheese and
eggs a little lover; but cotton. after falling TO
10 cents, rose again to 1921, with unusually
large speculative transactions for the week,
the exports beng only 5000 bales against
20. 900 last year, and the receipts only 2,20O
against $500. Oil. Oh the other hand, was ex-
cited, reaching 81 02i2 on Friday, but declined
to 975s cents, thus gaining about three cents for
the week.
Manufactures do not improve as was expect
ed. The large receipts of African and Spanish
iron ores during the past week tend to put fur
ther off the recovery for Eastern mines. Many
iron WORKS got ready to resume. but have not
secured sufficient orders and it is noticed that
while three establishments resumed during the
week. two others stopped operations, and one
failed. II is stated that one company increases
its capital in order to put up two large Clapp-
Griffith works. The business In staple cOttons

and honorable dealing; but the moment ne
takes a.contract for the Government, even with
naval experts employed to watch him, ne Is
accused of incompetent workmanship, rank DIS
honesty and wholesale corruption. A new Adj
miuistration condemns him as one of the rascals
who are to be turned out. The chief legal adj
wiser pronounces the contracts made with him
in good faith by the previous Administration
null and void and threatens him with proceed
ings for the recovery OF every dollar that ne mas
been paid. He is driven out OF the trade by the
Government after building great fleet for the
commercial marine. The Administration In
stead of carrying out contracts made by It's pre-
decessors repudiates them and discharges the
bondsmeu's liabilities, and forces the most sue
cessful firm In the trade to turn 2,5OO skillco
mechanics out of employment This treatment
is simply monstrOps.
There has recently been change of Admin
istration in England following an agitation re-
specting the wretched condition OF the navy.
We have not heard that the Tory Lords OF the
Admiralty have repudiated the contracts made
by their predecessors. The principle OF contin-
nifty of administration is recognized there. The
Tory Lords are carrying ont all engageme nts
made by those who preceded them. They are
not making war upon the shipbuilding industry.
They are not singing out for persecution

RUINING 4 SHIP-BUILDER.

One of our largest steamship companies re-
quircd not long ago eight new vessels 1t sub
mitted plans aud specifications to three OF the
best shipbuilders in the United States The
lowest bidder was John Roach and the contract
was awarded to him, the aggregate cost OF the
feet being $2.1OO,OOO, or nearly what the
Dolphin and the cruisers were to cost. The
superintendent of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, in letter printed in another column,
states that the contract was fulfilled to the
smallest detail and that the vessels had given
the owners perfect satisfaction. This powerful
and entcrprising corporation, we are convinced,
does not stand alone in protesting against the
Administrations course in forcing Mr. Roach
to retire from business.
The Attorney General will find it difficult to
convince the public that John Roach is dis
honest shipbuilder. who obtained contracts
under false pretences and "skinned the job
with the cOnnivance of naval officials. Ninety
per cent of his business has been in connection
with The merchant marine, and in comparison
with his transactions with steamship companies
his Government contracts hav been of second
airy Importance. AS the builder of Ia iron
steamships he has fulfilled contract after con-
tract and never been charged with cheating his
customers or cheapening his work. 1t has been
reserved for the present Administration to
make the discovery that be does not build ships
in accordance with the plans and specifications
and that he is liable for every dollar paid to
him under the contract.
The glazing injustice with which this veteran
shipbuilder has been treated by an inexperi;
enced Administration is making a profound
impression upon the community. He can
build q great feet for commercial corporations
and win splendid reputation for enterprise

est price on record, they are now quoted at 3
cents, less 1 per cent. Yet there was fair
business for the season In some branches OF
dry goods, and the prospect of good crops has q
favorable influence.
The most disheartening features in the trans
portation business are the sudden decline in
shipments from Chicago and the arrangement
for building new line to st. Paul. The de-
cline in shipments from 80, 301 tons the pre-
vious week and 31,85S the corresponding
week last year to 2O,543 tons last week
appears to prove that the trunk lines cannot
maintain 2O-cent rate against charge Of
only cent by lake. If so, the negotiations
between the railroad companies are less i'm
portant than many have anticipated. The
building of a new road from Chicago to St.
Paul by the Burlington and Quincy promises to
open in the Northwest the same sort of warfare
which has been waged so long between the
New York Central and the West Shore and
its promoters. The dissatisfaction of the Bur-
lington line with the share allotted to it in the
pool is given as a reason, but when once built
such road becomes permanent obstacle to
prosperity, If not required by public needs.
The meeting regarding the South Pennsyl-
it is yet to be seen how much power the Pitts
burg and other stockholders may have to resist.
In the West Shore business it Is not yet dis
covered who has power to deliver the property,
If anybody has bought it. Nevertheless, the
market advanced on Thursday to an average of
OF $50 ~ for the same sixty stocks which sold
at $4S go at tho close of the previous week.
but heavy selling produced reaction. which
continued through the week, and the close on
Saturday was at an average of $40 Is.
The Treasury receipts at New-York last week
were tho most favorable for long time only
10 per cent being in silver. But the large in
crease in legal tender receipts gives some
reason to suppose that the nondescript certif-
Gates, which are neither gold, silver nor legal
tenders" neither fish, flesh nor good red her.
ring "-may have been included in Custom
House receipts as legal tenders nevertheless,
the condition OF the Treasury clearly improves.
Since July l, after paying the interest," the
Treasury has lost only 1925, 56S in gold held
in excess Of certificates, while it has SO, 1877 959
more legal tenders that is, it has that amount
less of legal tenders outstanding to be re-
deemed. 1t has less deposited in banks, but
also has on hand less bank notes in the process
of redemption and smaller obligations to banks
on redemption account. The increase in silver
less certificates, has been only $2,557,S 1897, but
the decrease of silver certificates outstanding
has been over So, 100000, to 500, 431.426. 1t
was remarked long ago that when the outstand-
ing silver certificates were brought below
800, 1000, 900 it was probable that the receipts
would materially diminish, and presently cease
to be embarrassing to the Treasury. IL the
Secretary adhercs to his course, the correctness
of this judgment will be shown.
