This Is bad year for the free trad
ers. 1t Ia a fact, which any household
er who has to provide Tor the wants OF
a family knows, that there has never
been time Ia this country's history
when all kinds of manufactured goods
could be bought as cheaply AS ut the
present. All the great classes OF man
ufactured goods, those which the
great bulk of the people wear or use,
are cheaper now than ever before.
This is true OF cotton goods OF AL
most every kind, and certainly of all
those which are the most largely used.
Their prices are lower than ever be-
fore 10 the history Of the world.
Boots and shoes are low, and would
be lower were 1t not for the fact that
the supply of hides fell short and
there was consequent raise In some
of the better grades of leather. Some
OF the free trade liars are endeavoring
to show that the slight increase in the
price Of some of the better grndes of
shoes was caused by the new tariff
law, bit they met with a crushing de-
feat when 1t was shown that the rate
of duty on the leather of which they
are mnde and of the manufactured
shoes themselves, AS well as upon the
articles used In their manufacture,
such as thread and Innings, was not
changed by the new tariff. Wooden
goods share in the general cheapness.
especially in the grades most largely
consumed. Those which only the
Weather purchase because of :heir
cost are slightly advanced in price,
because they are not largely made in
this country.
However, nobody Is going to think
it hardship that man who cannot
find American-made cloth good enough
tor his own wear. but insists "n hav,
ing that of English nufacture.
shall pay for the privilege. The
American Economist calls atten ton to
the fact that Notwithstanding this
general cheapness, some unconscious
bic retail dealers at remote points
have been charging extortionate aud
swindling prices for goods on the pre-
text that the new tariff law had la
creased their cost. ..-,--4.

The Universal, published at the City of Mexico, denies that foreign capital will be enlisted to work the coal fields of Sonora, but says: "The coal dc posits are so great and they are so well authenticated, that Col. Garcia has succeeded, what appears almost a miracle in our country, to awaken the sleeping energies of our 'countrymen and several persons of elevated staud- ing have taken hold and are making arrangements with the concessary company. for working the mines, SC that this great enterprise will remain purely in the hands of Mexican capi tai. This signifies not only patriotism but good financial sense, which, as is we'll known, has not been common among us."
