A SUIT OF CLOTHES FOR s1.s5.
Not Exactly Swell, but brand New, Nice
Looking and Durable.


Looking and Durable.
Washing ton Letter In New York Sun.
An Illinois Representative In Washing
ton. the other day, was seen swelling along
Pennsylvania avenue in what was ev Identity
q new suit of clothes. In response tora
jocular comment upon his carriage and ap-
parel. he grinned and said:
How much do you suppose paid for this
suitf One dollar and thirty-five cents was
the price. L got 1t for trIiie less. because
we statesmen have a right TO expect

ers for 40 cents be wasn't making
decent profit on them. Fifty-five cents
was the regular retail price. and the coat
was 20 cents. didn't get any reduction
was 30 cents more. and J. don't set up for
swell, at this season anyway. But you can
see for yourself that the suit Is "A very TO-
spectacle one, such as man might wear in
fall or spring and not be ashamed of his
costume. It's none of these cheap. himsy
summer garments, but good suit of clothes
for any season. May be it isn't wool. bu: it
looks like 10. No. IL isn't wood-puip.
There's wear int. too. Tie man who sold
me the suit said that if it wore out in three
months he'd give me another.
What want TO say il, how much ex.
cuse is there for any body's being shabby
when good suit of clothes can be bought

might almost be said that human hands
don't touch these garments from the raw
material To- the finished product. The cloth
Is cut out in patterns. a thousand at q time,
with knives; the button-holes are made bv
machinery, and the buttons themselves are
stamped upon the cloth. instead of being
sewed. 1t is like the pig that is put into
one end of piece of mechanism, with its
throat cut. and comes ont at the other in
the shape of sausages and toothbrushes.

1.-THE people who made this suit of clothes
i wear got more for their labor than any
wOrkmen before them ever received for
the same sort of toll. The cry against
machinery, alleging that Ii robs the laborer
with hands, has been going on ever since
the invention of the printing press. 1t be-
gan long before that. But the fact is that
workingmen and working women get twice
the wages they did thirty years ago. Even
of the sewing women this Is true, and the
Song of the Shirt ought to be sung an
octave higher than generation back. Talk
of prices before the war. Why, for every
thing that is bought, save a few staple
commodities. prices are one-half what they
were then. So let us appreciate the adj
vantagss of q mechanical civilization and
enjoy the privilege of wearing clothes at
$1.55 suit This is an age in which even the
tatterdemallons ut the street corners could
afford to be well dressed If they chose. 1t
is only for want of ambition nowadays that
every beggar is not swell"

HOW 1T Is WORKING.
The Mckinley Tariff Law Did Not Erect .
"Chinese Wall" Against Imports.


'Chinese Wall" Against Imports.
Boston Journal
1t is only the most reckless and menda-
cious of the Democratic papers which vent
ure any more to assert that the Mckinley
bill raj sed taxes all along the line" The
falling off of seven and q half million dol
lars In the single month of June in our
customs receipts is in itself sufficient proof
that the general effect of the Mckinley bill
was not to raise but TO reduce taxation.
The detailed figures of our foreign
in the report of the treasury. tell the
same story, and we will hazard the guess
that no tariff-reform paper in the country
will have the candor to print the summaries
of free and dutiable imports, and give them
editorial prominence. The figures show an
increase In our imports for the month of
May, as compared with May. 1880. from
$40. 138, 040 in the earlier month, to gu $685.
039, a difference of about 81, 5000 The sig
nificant thing about the figures for the
month is. however. that they show very
heavy falling Oft IN the imports which paid
q duty, and q still heavier increase In the
imports which came In on the free list. Dis
regarding the smaller figures our imports
which paid duty amounted in May to $50
600 600 in round numbers. as compared with
S44. 100000 in May, 1890; while the imports
which came in without paying dollar OF
duty were S4l 600, 900 in May of this year as
compared with $4,000. 900 in May of last
year. In view of such figures as these. do
not our tariff reform friends think that it
is about time to stop talking about the Me-
Kiuley bill as erecting "a Chinese wall,
their readers cannot be long deceived by
such talk. and when they find how they
have been trifed with Ii is more than like
ly that they will be angry about IL.
