When Mr.. Schoenhof was the United

made a study Of the comparative cost
OF producing dress goods Ia England
and the United States. lie was special
" fitted for this work. having pre-
viousIy been engaged in textile manu-.
facture. Mr.. Schocnhof shows clearly
that with free wool and dyestuffs we
would need no tariff on goods. but on
the contrary could build up an export
trade Ia woolens. He says:

against cassimeres, which had a run for
quite q number Of years The trouble
in dress goods Is that one can seldom
say from one season TO another what
class Of goods will be In demand.
Hence the domestic manufactures with
his limited market is always tossed
about between the rocks OF overpro-
ductions and Of inability to supply the
goods just In demand In this the for.
eign manufacturer has an advantage.

these reasons, always 60 on, whether
we continue advancing the tariff or
not. and the bulk will continue I, be

Of tariffs Whether with . profit or

we happen 70 hit the thing in demand
or not That the labor cost plays no
great part in this can be seen from
statement Of comparative cost relating
to dress goods Of carded wool, so-called
sackings. These goods are very ex-
tensiveiy manufactured. and at present
seem to have run. They are Of the
flannel kind, and what applies to them
in the manufacturing and cost would
be applicable to that class Of goods
too In slightly modified form this
applies also to stripes or plaidA
The goods In America are made from
the wool up, carded, spun, woven, dyed
and finished in the mill. The English

the Mitchell-Ward Case.
The Accused Relates Details Of the
Tragedy With the Utmost Goodness.

MEMPHIS, July 26.-1he second week OF
the Mitchell trial showed no abatement
OF the interest taken In the case. DR.. Tur-
ner testified that Alice told him OF all the
plans she and Freda Ward had made. To
his question asking II she fully under
stood what marriage meant, she said that
she fully comprehended the matrimonial
state, but In sisted that there WAS nothing
20 hinder her from marrying Freda Ward.
She said that she was aware that she and
Freda could have no children, The de-
tails of the tragedy she tells with the ut
most coolness, but at the mention OF
Freda she breaks down.
In questioning her as TO the relations
between her and Freda, he found out that
there was nothing compromising In their
love. Witness thought Miss Mitchell was
insane and incurably so. During the ex-
animation of DIR. Turner. Judge Dubose
stated that he thought the objection OF
the state attorney To the introduction of
testimony founded upon facts and state
ments of the acc used since tho incarcera-
tion was well founded.
General Peters had withdrawn his OBJ
lection. and the strange spectacle OF the
trial Judge differing from both the state
and the defense WIS exhibited. all OF the
lawyers being against the court. The
court finally agreed that the physicians
testimony should go to the Jury, but sug-
gested that Miss Mitchell's statements be
carefully weighed In view Of her position
