A BAD DOSE FOR FREE TRADERS

A BAD DOSE FOR FREE TRADERS
The Boston Herald must look after the
man who reviews the dry goods market for
it, for he is not strongly holding up thea
free trade theory. His report says that in
wool and part wool dress goods an excel
lent trade for fall is being mapped out,
and it is noted as remarkable feature
that domestic makes are taking the lead
this year more than ever before. There
is still a considerable demand for certain
goods not yet made in this country,
such as wool beiges over-plaided with silk,
but, as a rule, the domestic manufacturers
are coming nearer to supplying the dress
goods market than ever before in
the history of the trade. In some
classes of goods the domestic mills have
eclipsed the foreigners, with the help of
the new tariff, and goods fully good,
or better, can be had of the home manu-
facturer than can be imported. An in
stance of this kind particularly worthy
of mention is in the case of Atlantic
mills serges. These goods the jobbers
have in very choice lines and colorings at
such cost that they can be jobbed at
421c and retailed for SOC, when the job
bers understand that they cannot lay the
goods down here from the markets of
Europe for less than SOC actual cost. The
Lorraine people are also making good
line of all-wool serges, under the same
conditions as the Atlantic mills. Atlantic
mills cashmeres are also fully better than
can be imported for the money, and the
jobbers are selling them 80 that
they can be retailed for SOC. Spotted
vigignes are another instance of
a handsome make of domestic dress goods
that it would cost dollar to import, but
they are being sold so as to retail for IS q
SIZE. They are also made in plain shades
without the spots. In part wool goods the
Arlington and Nonantum plaids are prom
Using good demand. They are made and
sold at prices that will admit of their re-
failing at SOC. Another good feature in
the class that will retail at SOC is the dag
onal knickerbockers, all wool, and in a
wide range of shades. The new empress
suitings in plaids are another good feature
of goods that can be retailed at SOC.
This ought not to be SO, according to
the free traders, but it is, and they will
have to stand it.

The government of Switzerland has
adopted an ingenious plan for testing the
sincerity ofthe popular demand to give the
letter carriers rest on Sunday. So-called
Sunday stamps are to be issued and letters
having such stamps and being mailed on
Sunday will not be delivered before Mon
day morning. Letters with ordinary
stamps, however, will be sent to their ad
dresses on Sunday.

The whisky men have had substantial
help from the government, and it is prob
able that they will want more. For some
time past there has been an excessive pro-
duction of whisky in the State of Kentucky,
and it is estimated that there is surplus
of 40, 600, 900 gallons now on hand. 1t is
probable that congress will be asked to re-
lieve the market by extending the three
years bonded period now allowed for the
payment of taxes On liquor. 1t will take
also SIS, 900, 900 to pay the taxes this fall
unless this is done.

Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
commanding general of the United
Confederate Veterans, has issued an
address g to the ex-soIdiers and sail
ors of the Confederate States of
America" in which he urges the for
nation of camps in all the Southern
States of the &c Benevolent, Social and
Historical Organizations of United
Confederate Veterans" The object
of this organization is to band to-
gcther the survivors of the war who
fought on the side of the South, their
sympathizers and descendants, into a
body for the preservation of the mem
DRY of the South in the civil war, the
taking care of the families of Con-
federate veterans who are in need of
assistance and the general instruc-
tion and cultivation of the minds of
the descendants of those who died in
defense of the Southern cause. The
Atlanta Journal heartily commends
the suggestions of General Gordon,
and adds " that the deeds of those
who fought for the South and their
memories are fast passing away into
oblivion or indifference cannot be ev-
ldenced more strongly than by the
recent action of the Legislature of
Georgia-Gen. Gordon's own State
I'm refusing to provide for and main
tain home for Confederate veterans,
even although that home was built
without cost to the State, and was
offered TO it rs a free gift"

a Mystery.

How the human system ever recovcrs from
the bad effects of the nausenus medicines often
literally poured into it for the suppositive re-
lief of dyspepsia. liver complaint, constipation,
rheumatism and other ailments. is mystery.
The mischief done by bad medicines is scarce
~ less than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak. bilious. dyspeptic. constipated
or rheumntic, would oftener be guided by the
experience of iuvalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would
in every instance obtain the speediest aid de-
riyable from rational medication This medi-
cine is a searching and at the same time a
thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vcgeta-
bic sources, and possessing, in consequence
of its basis of pure spirits, properties rs me-
dicinal stimulant not to be found III the fiery
local bitters and stimulants often resorted to
by the debilltated. dyspeptic and languid.

Breeze in the Worlds Fair
Commission.

The question of reducing salaries
of officers created considerable dis
cussion in the National Columbian
Commission on the 9TH instant.
Commissioner j. w. st. Clair of
West Virginia, of the Judiciary Com
mittee, warned the Commission that
the Auditing Committed proposition
to reduce salaries Disseminated. 1t
cut off the Vice hairman's salary
and did not touch the Director-G Gem
eral' larger salary. That would be
taken by the South as political
move. He hoped the Commission
would see the mistake in such action
and let news go forth that there was
no South or North; no politics ia the
Commission.
Several other speeches were made
and then Commissioner Butt of West
Virginia, a member of the Auditing
committee, explained to the commits
sion why his committee had recon-
mended the discontinuance of the
salaries of President Palmer and
| Vice. Chairman Mckenzie. He said
/ IuBEG WIS tIO NnalGbCI III Vic
recommendation of the committee.
1t was merely business proposition.
He said, after looking over the situa-
ton, the committee could not see why
the President should draw a salary of
So 900 per anDum for presiding over
two meetings of the National Com
mission, together with such meetings
as might be held by the Board of
Control. He had no duties which
demanded his continued presence
here in Chicago. With the adjourn
ment after four or five days session
of the two bodies the President was
relieved from further duties for six
months in the case of commission and
a month in the case of the Board of
Control. His duties were no more
onerous on these occasions than
those of attending Commissioners who
performed their work without SAL
airy. He could, however, find no
fault with the President, since he
had intimated his willingness to fore
go his salary.
1t was with the Office of vfce-C Chair
man which Commissioner Butt dealt
most strongly. He showed the COM
mission that no duties had been pre-
scribed for the office of Vice. Chair
Imam of the Executive committee and
intimated that Col. Mckenzie had
been appointed to the position mere
| ly to preserve a political balance
among the officers of the commission.
He. said there was nothing for the
Vice Chairman to do, since its APP
Ipointment, and he wondered why
$4,000 year should be paid the in
cumbent of a useless office. He
thought it was unprecedented, and he
asked what comparison there was be-
tween the duties performed by the
IVice- Chairman of the Executive COM
Imittee and those of a Congressman,
whose salaries in this particular in
stance were equal.
Commissioner Waller offered a
Substitute for all pending motions,
which was agreed to by Mr.. Massey
from the Judiciary Committee. II
was adopted 81 to z, referring the
whole matter to the Board of Refer
ence and Control.

finely, and cold Clip" can feel
proud of its company. We have a
graduate of West Point for Brigadier-
General, B. D. SpilIman, who is prov
ing himself favorite with officers
and men. He is a son-in-law of ex-

taking great interest in the drills and
other instructions, and is just the man
to make soldiers devoted to him
Capt. Wyatt and Assistant Surgeon
Neil are making a fine record for
Charles Town. Col. Jackson (of
CIarksburg) and I are the only aids
on the field; Col. NcCorkle Cot

Putnam) are expected in the morning.
The Governor came this evening, and
we had special dress parade, after
the battalion drill, all executed in
very good form. Tomorrow is to be
Governors Day, with grand review
and dress parade, and inspection by
the U. S. Army officers, Capt. Barrett
COT Maryland and Lieut. Avis. The
railroads will run special trains, and
if clear the crowd will be near 10, 900
persons at the Grove. The camp
ends at u o'clock midnight to-mor-
row. and troops leave Wednesday

fer that Maryland and Pennsylvania
have officers appointed to enforce the

if not, it might not be amiss for the

man to act in this matter. 1t is a
subject worthy of serious considera-
ton, and we sound a timely warning
to our farmers and county officials.
