TIE COST OF CLOTHING.

Ready Made Clothes No Bearer In the
United States Than In Other Countries.
To THE EDIToR-A neighbor Of ours who
went TO England last summer says that q suit of
clothes which cost fifteen dollars in England
costs fifty dollars in this country. OF course
he is a free trader. Can you inform me whether
this statement is true2 q. W. B.
Ready made clothing of q substantial
quality, such as is worn by well to do
working people, is as cheap in the
United States as it is anywhere in the
world. Tailor made clothing, which is
probably the kind that the neighbor of
our correspondent has in mind (since he
is wealthy enough to travel to Europe
is dearer in this country than in Eng
land, although the difference in cost is
not nearly so great as 800 per cent.
American wages are twice and three
times as high as wages IN England. and
as hand labor is the chief factor in
clothing that is made to order, it Is nat
ural that this clothing should be dearer.
But working people can clothe them.
selves as cheaply and as well in the
United States as the working people of
England or any other country. In this
statement we are borne out by the re-
ports of United States consuls who have
made this a special subject of invostiga.
ton
E. E. Lane. former consul at Tun-
stall, England, says:
I'm view of these figures, what be-
comes of the constantly repeated asser.
tons that the cost of living to the work.
ingman in the United States is double
what it is in England? The truth is that
theonly item in which there is any consid.
cradle advantage in the workingmau's
cost Of living in this country is in the
matter Of rent In plain clothing for
men, women and children there il
scarcely any advantage, if indeed there
is any at all. AS good suit of clothes
can be purchased IN that city Chicago,
for ten dollars a. can be obtained In this
sountry for the same money"
j. Schoenhof. consul at the same place
during the administration Ct Grover
Cleveland. and an enthusiastic free
trader. says:
Everything made to order in the way
Of clothing. except shirts perhaps. Is
considerably cheaper here. while ma
chine made or factory made goods Show
disappearing differences only. In work
manship and finish find corresponding
articles Of the wholesale process Of man
ufacture superior In the United States
This is true Of clothing A. well - Of col
lars, cuffs and like articles
These statements prove pretty conclu
sively. we think. that the price Of good
ready made clothing Is no higher In this
country than in England. After all
however. the question Of price il not the
most important The real point TO b.
considered 10. Doee given amount 81
labor here purchase more clothing thar
The SANE labor viii purchase elsewhere
And judged by this standard the Amer
can labcrex Il FAR more comfortably
cbespiy and neatly dressed than the Ia
borer q England or Any ether country.

American Agriculture Prosperous.

The agricultural class deserves some
special consideration. 1t may be asked,
II farming is not profitable, why do
crops increase1 If market gardening is
not profitable, why does the product in
crease in quantity and in value? If
farmers do not prosper, why is it that
there Is q constantly increasing demand
for labor on farms at wages that are
much higher than they were ten or twen-
ty years ago, TO meet which demand for
farm labor there is no sufficient supply
/ anticipate the Dugbear OF the mort
gage. but about that we are beginning
TO have data suffcing for true solution.
1t is not true that the farmers, taken as
body. especially in the west, are op-
pressed with heavy mortgages The re-
verse Is true. Let it suffice TO refer TO
the special census bulletin giving stats
tics of farm lands and mortgages IN Illi-
nois. In this return, compiled by Mr.
John s. Lord (whose reputation is well
known TO every one dealing with statis-
ties and by Mr.. George K. Holmes, a
separation is made between mortgaged
acres and mortgaged lots. Dealing with
mortgaged acres as q representative of
mortgaged farms. we find that the per-
centage of the mortgage upon the true
valuation Of all farms taxed in Illinois
was only 1927.
Less than one-half of the farms in Illi-
nois are subject to any mortgage, the
percentage of the total number of taxed
acres. represented by the number of
mortgaged acres being only 30.7S- Deal
ing with the mortgaged acres only,
the average Of the mortgage to the
true valuation is but 1927 per cent. 1t
therefore appears that much less than
one-half Of the farms of Illinois are sub
jected to a mortgage. and the average
mortgage upou that part incumbered by
debt is less than one-haf its specific
value. This official statement confirms
the Judgment which I had formed from
data secured in . much less adequate
manner from other states.--Edward At

CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY.

these the center rooms are to be built.
The motif of the exterior of the library
was suggested by the ruins Of the old gate
between the Greek and Roman cities Of
Athens, which dates back to the time Of
Emperor Hadrian.
The structure will be about 100 feet
high. The base will be of granite, and
the rest Of the exterior of Indiana blue
stone. No steel or other corrosive metal
will be used, as it is intended that the
building shall endure for centuries. The
roof viii be surmounted by stone bal
ustrade, and will have = slight pitch to-
ward a water valley" in the center to
relieve it's practical features. There is
to be no attempt at elaborate ornamenta-
ton, but Whatever covering or other
form of decoration shall be decided
upon will be done in the most thorough
manner. There will be an entire abb
sence of the gingerbread" work which
prevails to such q great extent nova
days. The general tone Of the building
will be classic.
The interior will be conveniently and
judiciously arranged with q view to
economizing space. The basement will
be occupied by mechanical appliances
for providing heat and electric light.
The first floor will be given up to the
main delivery, cataloguing and stock
rooms, and the Offices Of the librarian,
secretary and superintendent Of delivery.
At the north end Of this floor will be the
memorial hall and assembly room Of the
G. A. R. The top floor is to be used for
the reading and reference rooms. al
though a portion will be mezzanined
and used as private studies and commit
tee rooms. The building will be as
nearly fireproof as human ingenuity can
make it. 1t is to be divided by fireproof
walls into separate sections, so that
flames may be confined to the portion of
tho library in which they break out,
thus making it impossible for any great
comparative damage to be done.
This is not private institution. but
the regular public library Of the city OF
Chicago. 1t will have two distinct de-
partments-one for reference and the
other for circulation. A feature which
might DO copied with advantage by all
public libraries is the delivery system,
