If there is one time in the
year more than another when
sweeping reductions are in
order it is now. The old year
trade is over, and now is the
time to clean up before spring
business commences. We
propose making a clean sweep
of everything.
There are various kinds of
sweeping reductions. You
may be offered low prices cn
poor goods. That is not our
kind. We are offering the
best goods in order to keep
trade moving at almost un-
heard of prices.

1.-THE senator then pointed out that cot
ton velvets and corduroys had sold very
high previous to 1879, that Americans
then attempted to manufacture them,
when foreign manufacturers at once re
duced the price SO low as to drive the
Americans out of the market, and that,
though the prices have since been raised
and are a little higher than when the Nc
Knley bill passed, they are not yet so high
as in 1857. He presented the proofs and

The finance committee also investigated
for the same period the course of whole
sale prices at the great distributing CEN
ters. While this investigation disclosed
greater fluctuations in price of the articles
selected, the general result was the same,
the fall IN wholesale prices running sub
stantially parallel with that Of retail prices
1t will be observed that the greater per-
centages of decline are in the groups of
manufactured articles where it was
claimed the greatest advance had taken
place.
In addition to the inquiry stated above
the committee caused retail prices of the
different articles included in these lists to
be taken on May 1, 1892, at three of the
points at which the original inquiry was
made-nanely, Fall River, Mass, Chicago
and Dubuque, La The result of this latter
inquiry shows that still further decline
in prices and in the cost of living had
taken place between Sept. '991, and May
|, 1892 --~eorly establishing % continuance
Of the tendency to lower prices and lower
cost of living.
1t is shown as a net result of the investi-
cation that prices and the cost of living,
based on the expenditures Of a family in
ordinary circumstances, had declined 3.4
per cent. in May. 1892 as compared with
the period prior to the adoption of the
tariff act Of 1890
1t is difficult to see how the results of
this thoroughly exhaustive inquiry could
be Il surprise to any one, unless he should
be Il professional tariff reformer The de-
cline in the cost of living was, as shown,
3.4. The advance in wages, as shown by
the same report, was rs of per cent. This
makes an average advance in the purchas-
ing power Of wages of 4.15 per cent. As
Stunning $500 as the average income Of the
families of the country, this would be
equivalent to, say, $25 per family or an
aggregate saving for $1,000 600 families of
$325, 900, 900 for each year
The addition Of this vast sum annually
to the national earnings and wealth is an
achievement which speaks with a more
eloquent voice than [ can command in be-
half of policy under which such results
are possible

1t will be noticed that the Farr Alpaca
company, of Holyoke, Mass, quote double
and single warp coat Innings at IL lower
rate in July 1892, than in either OF the
previous years. The other quotations sub
mitted by me are the prices at which the
goods manufactured by the five leading
American producers Of women's and chill
arens dress goods sold their product at
the respective dates named These quota
lions show decline in price in every case
These quotations refer only to domestic
goods; but very large proportion of the
goods of this class consumed in the United
States is produced by the domestic manu-
facturers, who have practically the con
troll of the American market.
1t can however, be conclusively estab
lished that the cost to import the great
mass of women's and children's dress
goods is less today than it was before the
passage OF the act of 1890, and it is Ger
tainly true that both foreign and domestic
goods of this character are sold at retail at
lower prices now than they were prior to
October 1890. | have been furnished by
Messrs William H. Burgess & Co., of
Paris and New York, with statement
showing the foreign cost and the cost to
lay down in New York duty paid of all
wool cashmeres standard quality, 10 to 10
twill. Other descriptions of all wool dress
goods vary in price with these at a fixed
ratio. This statement shows that the cost
to import the goods in question, duty and
other charges paid, in 1887, was 442 cents;
in 1888, ~. 8 cents; in 1882 IA cents, and
in 1892, 90 cents per yard. This would
seem to clearly establish the fact that for
the great mass of women's and children's
dress goods used in the United States the
cost laid down in New York to the import
er is less today than it was prior to tariff
changes
In regard to the price of astrakhans there
is very little to be said. The demand for
this fabric is extremely limited and fluc-
tuations in the price are of very little i'm
portance to the people of the country
have, however been furnished with sam
pies and a price list of astrakhans of do
nestle manufacture by the Goodall Wor-
sted company, of Sanford, Me- This list
shows that the company referred to sells
54-inch astrakhans, SO ounces in weight, at
1888 per yard net to their customers, or at
81 cents per yard less than the cost of i'm
porting similar goods, as reported by Mr.
McKeever.

In England increased 19 per cent If the
conditions had been reversed our Demo
cratic friends would have insisted that
this was the direct and logical result of
rival revenue systems. am curious to
see what explanation they will now make.
The result is unquestionably very sur
prising one to them and one which they
will have difficulty in explaining away.
While the attempt to compare average re-
tail prices in England and the United
States IS not satisfactory, | am convinced
that Tor family huying the same quantity

THE senator here analysed table pre-
pared by Mr.. Daniel McKeever, of the
importing firm of II. Herman Sternbach &
Co, of New York, and previously quoted
by Senator Vest. He demonstrated that
the astrakhans, velvets and silk Innings
mentioned in the letter are luxuries, and
that the articles of that class in common
use are now cheaper, as shown by the fol
ling table in the official report]

MIN. HRESlDENT-lJ is eVlQenU UnaU the
tariff question is to become, by common
consent, the leading issue in the approach
ing presidential campaign In his speech
of June %, the senator from Missouri (Mr.
Vest) makes this unequivocal statement:
II am prepared to show that the McKin-
ley act has had the effect of increasing
prices upon the necessaries of life to the
people of this country, and that the state
ment in his resolution referring to the
senator from Mainel that an era of cheap
ness in the necessaries of life is being
brought to the people of the United States
is absolutely and Internationally false"
One of the principal purposes of the tariff
inquiry ordered by the senate resolution of
March 3, 1891, was to ascertain whether
this claim Of the opponents of protection
was justified. An investigation much
more extensive and thorough than ever
before attempted was instituted The
committee determined to ascertain the
prices paid for all articles of general CON
sumption at retail in every part of the
United States on the first of each month
from June, 1889, to September, 1891,
period of seventeen months prior to the
passage of the act of 1890 and eleven
months subsequent. The quotations were
in all cases secured from actual sales. The
places at which quotations were obtained
were selected with the view of covering the
entire country geographically, and in
cluded typical commercial, manufacturing
and agricultural communities The prices
were secured by the trained experts of the
department of labor with the greatest care.
The list OF 215 articles was carefully Sc
ected by the unanimous action of the com.
mittee, with view of covering every pos
sib1e expenditure of a family in the average
condition of life-that is, with an income
of $500 to 81 900 per annum.
The results of this comprehensive and
exhaustive inquiry are contained in the
report recently made by the finance com
mittee. This report covers 1900 printed
pages and contains more than 200, 900 diff
ferent quotations.
This investigation clearly establishes the
fact that decline instead of an advance
has taken place in the prices of the neces-
saries of life and the resulting cost of liv
ing since the adoption of the act of 1890.
The articles were divided into the follow
ing groups:
First-FOod
Second-CIoths and clothing
Third-Fuel and lighting.
Notwithstanding goods.
Fifth-Drugs and chemicals
Sixth-Metals and implements.
Seventh-Lumber and building mate
rails
The percentage Of decline in the various
groups embraced in the schedule is shown
by the following table, prices for June,
July and August, 1889, being taken as a
basis for comparison and represented by
the number 100, changes being shown by
