Two Enemies of Progress.

According to a trade journal the
tailors of New York are strcnuously
obiecting to what is known as the
Reece Buttonhole machine, claiming
that it does too much work, or, in other
words, as it works much better and
faster than the other machines now in
nse, it will throw number of opera
tives out Of work, Several orders for
new machines have been counter
manded, the bosses being threatened
into submission by the Buttonholc
Makers union.
Such are the fruits Of protectonism
Keep out the superior machine,
although II will make the article cheap
er TO the consumer; what we want Is
more labor SO says the workman'
but he learned this language from the
protectionist who has always been say
ing; keep out the cheaper foreign
goods, we must create moro labor"
Brethren, Is II not more sensible ia

THE TIN PLATE LIAR.

He is Being Exposed in All Parts of tho
Country.
The tin plate liar is being exposed in
all parts Of the country. Not long ago
an Iowa republican paper started the
report that Norton Brothers, of Chicago,
were furnishing two pound tin cans at
$1.S7 per hundred, against S2,25 last
year. State Senator j, NJ, Gobble, who
is a merchant in Muscatine, saw this
statement and has let in some pitiless
light upon it. He bought from the
same firm one-pound baking powder
cans in May 1890, at SIS per thousand,
and has to pay now $40. Last August
he bought No. 80 coffee cans at one
dollar each, and on February "a, 1891,
he had to pay $115. Calling the atten-
ton of the firm to the difference, he
got this answer:
We have been obliged to advance our
prices on our entire line within the last few
months, owing to the heavy advance in the
tin plato Market and the best price we are
making to anybody on our No, 80 cans isN,l5
cash net. We would have called your atten'
tion to this before shipping had we not sup
posed that you had had some Of these ans
at the new price, which was made quito
while ago
The N, & G. Taylor Co., Of Philadel-
phia, has been advertising in the trade
papers "roofng tin made in the city Of
Philadelphia at their own works. A
recent examination Of these "worlSs"
showed them to consist of one small
room with several soldering pots, the
working force being an old man and u
boy, who were engaged in redipping
imported tin plates.
A man was sent to this firm to buy u
box of their american tin plate" but
says the report, che was informed in
the office that they could not furnish
any American tin plate, and that their
advertisement was put in to bring trade
for their other tin plates, and also cor
rcspondencc which they could not 9th
erwise get"

THE SLEEP OF PRINCES.
slumber wooed by Jeweled Beds and Beds
That Make Music.

Among the eXtravaganceS attributed
to American women is brass bedstead
inlaid with real pearls. Across the top
rail the owners name is wrought in
pearls.
Recently bedstead made of gold and
silver, inlaid with precious stones, has
been discovered in a cave between Bey-
rout and Damascus bearing an inscrip-
ton declaring that it once belonged to
Eleanor, queen of England.
In point of costliness this can not
compare with the historical cradle or
dered by Napoleon for his son, the king
of Rome, upon which all the resources
of French art were employed, the de-
sign being prepared by Prudhomme,
In the Paris exhibition gorgeous
bedstead was to be seen which had been
constructed at a cost of $4,000 to
the order of an Indian prince.
The canopy was supported by four
automatic figures, costumed in the ma
tional dresses of Spain, Italy, France
and Greese, who moved their eyes and
waved fans to cool the air. The mat
tress was gigantic musical box, which
played a series of operate airs when
anyone lay down upon it. This con
trivance might not prove an unmixed
blessing, when one was too weary to
remember that music hath charms,
and only wanted to sleep the sleep OF
the righteous,

was used largely for the wArps In place


of worsted.
The Mckinley bill seems to have
special spite against carpet woods, and
those who wish to make or use wool
carpet All noils (the short tibers of
wool largely used for the weft of car
pets) were excluded by the monstrous
duty of thirty cents per pound GOO and
$50 per cent in many cascs) and the
tax on other materials was greatly in
creased. Moreover, the antiquities Of
the law and some rather forced con-
structions cf it by the treasury depart
ment have still further increased costs,
and so multiplied doubts and questions
that there are few kinds Of carpet wool
the duty on which can be surely known.
These increased difficulties and i'm
pediments, and the largely increased du-
ties, obliged carpet manufacturers to
advance the prices of carpets after the
passage of the Mckinley bill-an ad-
vance on all-wool carpets of about 10
per cent The effect of an increased
cost of wool is at once to give an ad-
vantage and an opportunity to those
who use cheaper materials, and 50 it
greatly stimulates the increased use of
cotton and cattle hair and Of all kinds
of waste and shoddy and torn up car
pets.
The increase of price by the manu-
facturers may not have been fully fe t
in the retail shops, because on staple
articles the retailer is slow to advance
prices until his old stock is gone, and
because his margin of profit enabled
him still to sell without loss, which was
not the case with the manufacturers, or
because he substituted for the all-wool
carpets those with a greater or less pro-
portion of cheap substitutes for wool.
Of course if aperson cannot aft I'd to
pay for wool carpet there is no reason
why he should not have a cotton carpet,
if he wants it; but then he might also
put down common cotton cloth. There
is no moral reason, perhaps Though
Ruskin would not admit it), why he
should not buy tapestry carpet, made
chiefly of jute, with a veneering of
printed WOOL but if the duty on wool
had been taken off, instead of having
been largely increased, the price of the
best Brussels carpets, instead of being
put up ten cents yard, might have
been reduced ten or fifteen cents
yard, and an all wool ingram or extra
super carpet might have been sold for
less than a Qargely) cotton and shoddy
ingram may sell for now,
Thus an article of general use has
been largely and needlessly increased
in price, although it might well have
been improved in quality and largely
reduced in cost by the free admission of
carpet woods, which would have hurt
almost no one and would have benefited
every one.

The Names of Foreigners.

Anyone who mingles with the poor
immigrants who have come here from
Russia or Poland must be surprised at
their ignorance concerning the great
men of this country. Many of them
stay here a long time without ever
knowing the name of the president of
the United States, or hearing of James
G. Blaine, or any other famous poll
tician. They find it very hard to catch
the sound of American names, and are
apt to pronounce these names in way
that would puzzle the owners of them
who happened to be unfamiliar with
jargon. If the names of many of them
seem queer to Americans the names of
many Americans seem still queerer to
them, and only fit to be laughed at

M'KlNLEYlSM IN CARPETS.

A leading Manufacturer on the Carpet
Wool Tax-It Makes Higher Prices and
Puts Cotton and Shoddy in Carpets-An
Arralgnmcnt of McKlnleylsm by One
Who Knows.
When anyone who is not engaged in
manufacturing critcises our high tariff
policy the McKinleyitcs brush aside his
objections with contempt "What does
he know about manufacturing?" they
ask. "IIe is not in practical business;
he talks like college professor. His
opinion does not count"
But when manufacturer himself ar
raigns our absurd tariff laws his opinion
counts, Such manufacturer is Arthur
J. Lyman, of the Lowell Manufacturing
Co. of Boston, Mass, who is one of the
foremost carpet manufacturers in the
country and is the very highest author
ity on all questions pertaining to car
pets and the carpet trade.
Mr.. Lyman has recently stated the
case of the carpet manufacturers
against the tariff us follows; Sub
stantially all of the wool used in mails
Ing carpets comes from abroad and
chiefly from Russia, Asia Minor, Persia,
India and South America. These woods
are chiefly long, coarse woods, and be-
ing raised under favorable natural con-
ditions, and by people whose modes of
life are very inexpensive, they are of
very low cost The necessity for rev.
cnuc from any and every source during
the civil war after time caused con-
siderable duty to be placed on carpet
woods, avowedly for revenue, When
the war was over and the debt had been
greatly reduced and many taxes were
taken of, this heavy tax on car
pet woods was unfortunately left. II
had not caused the raising Of carpet
WOODS in this country, because other
wcols and other products could be
raiScd TO much greater advantage, and
because tho conditions existing here
were not favorable,
The tax on this admirable material
considerably increased tho cost of the
carpets used so largely by the people.
OF course the temptation to cheaper
the fabric by the mixture 5f substitutes
for wool was great But until within
q few years tho machinery employed
would not admit of the extensive use
OF what has Of late years been used in
enormous quantities, the cheap cattle
bair, pretty much like that used for
mixing with mortar, The ingenious
machines lately invented enabled man
nfacturers TO use enormous quantities
Of cheap hair, cheap until the enor.

In Wide Awake for June

Perhaps the -nUsJ enjoyable thing is
that story with the Edward Bellamy
touch, The Pursuit of Happiness" by
Tudor Jenks-a quizzical look into the
future for boys. A beautiful romance
is contributed by Annie Bronson King,
under the title, This Way Went the
Lady Mary to Paradise" A good old
time article, "a Vermont Boys Trip to
Boston in 1926" is from the pen of John
l.. Heaton of the Brooklyn Times.
amanda Jinklms Burdens" by Oliver
Howard, has its serious lesson for eld-
est daughters. All the girls might take
some tender teaching from sweet,
bright, true Polly Pepper in Margaret
Sidney's Give Little Peppers Grown
Up" serial, which has never been more
interesting than in the present number.
Quite different little girl from Phron-
sic Pepper, but a charmingly quaint
child, makes her crrtesy to Wide
AwaBe's readers in the new serial,
''Miss Matilda Archambeau Van Dorm"
in the third serial, "Marietta's Good
Times" we get delightful glimpses of
the free open air life of Italian children.
This serial is from the pen of an Italian
woman recalling her childhood. Good
things are as thick as roses in June;
articles, beautiful illustrated poems
pictures, some fine, some funny; foul
pages of sparkling original anecdotes
"Tangles," and three pages of letters
from the children crowd the number
full.
