goods will be deeply interested in the re.
view which we give this week of the prep
aration for next springs production of do
mestic dress goods. Never before has
there been such an interest in these lines
of fabrics, or such wide and attractive
variety OF production. 1t speaks volumes
for the progress of the United States in
textile manufacture, that such magn,f-
cent range of samples are now submitted
for the inspection of the trade. We have
emphasized so frequently the necessity of
techninal education in this country that
we are the more happy to bear witness to
the extraordinary quality of these domes-
tic goods and it is proof of the marvel
Gus alertness and ingenuity of the Amer.
lean people that in default Of those more
methodical and thorough systems of prep
aration that are found so necessary abroad,
they can still produce range of fabrics
that vie with the, best which the world
can show. Such an exhibit proves beyond
all controversy that if America were to add
to its native genius the patient art of for
eigners it would soon distance all COM
petitors and rule the world markets.
In the same issue the Economist goes on
TO say:
The factor of greatest importance in
imparting new life to this branch of tex

Mashall Field & Co., of Chicago, is
democratic establishment, and democrats
therefore cannot impeach the evidence
of their own witnesses. Well, this COM
pany advertises on the 9Th page of the Chi
caeo Herald of Tuesday, Nov. 3, demo-
cratic paper, THAT fine furs are no higher,
and some instances lower, than last year
that trimmed hats" are only "a little
over half their usual values;" that they
''are selling silks worth 81 25@2.00, at IS
cents to 81 .35," and so on.
Last year this and many other Chicago
firms were advertising in manner to
scare the people into the notion that they
must rush in ard buy these goods in

ments demonstrate the character of the
stupendous liars employed to write last
years advertisements. As matter of fact
all kinds of goods are cheaper to-day than
they ever were before.
