Dress Goods
Propaganda

There is a great margin be-
tween the stock and the show.
For one beautiful novelty that
is seen there are scores upon
the shelves unseen.
Another difficulty confronts
us-the standard we have set
for our own Dress Goods ex-
hibitions. 1t is hard to COM
pare them with themselves.
And the shows of past seasons
have been so far beyond any
competing displays that it is
difficult to make still further
improvement.
But progress there must be,
for there is no nealth without
growth. And progress there
is. Il appears in
First-A more complete
stock OF Spring Dress
Goods than is collected in
any single store anywhere.
Second-A more perfect
stock of Spring Dress
Goods than has ever been
shown here before.
Third-A vastly increased
number of styles that are
confined to this business
for this market, 1t would
be difficult to prove, but
our conviction is that the
styles of Dress Goods linn
tied to our business vastly
outnumberS all the
exclusive patterns COM
bined of all other stocks
in this market.
Fourth-A Dress Goods
stock eminent for origin
ality, beauty and extraor-
dinary taste in selection.
This in general is the charac-
ter of the Dress Goods stock
to which we ask attention
Offering you the greatest and
the best what remains? Your
part. Ours is done.

DIR. KEAPsHALL's Anti-Rsce Track
League OF New Jersey is trying to induce
members OF the Legislature TO vote for
the repeal of the laws legallzing racing.
One assemblyman has already Topped to
their side. The races and the race-tracks
Of New Jersey have become infamous.
It is strange that the respectable citizens
of the state have endured the scandal
GUS conduct Of the managers and Of the
patrons Of them so long. They should
not have waited. however, till the evils
grew to such an extent as to sneot the
good name Of the state. There are re
spectacle race courses which confer
benefits, which do not promote scandal
and crime II the matter had been taken
up In time. even the worst Of those
courses in New Jersey might have been
redeemed. Now there seems nothing tc
do but abolish them.

case. he professed TO know. and he
should have known, these things. He
does not act with candor or with honor,
when he issues worthless papers with the
intent or the effect to deceive banker;
he does not legislste with justice when he
robs the people to enrich class-when
he imposes tax upon the many for the
benefit of the few.
Governor Mckinley took active, and
we think unjust and unfair advantage
OF small and doubtful majority In
Congress, managed by Czar Reeds un-
precedented rules, invented for the pur-
pose, to pass bill Of taxation which is
not only oppressive but full Of fraud,
injustice and false pretense.
That was not the act Of high minded
and honorable man. Granting even that
he was not conscious Of perpetrating a
fraud, he was guilty of taxing people
who did not wish to be taxed by an
exercise Of power never resorted to
before and bitterly resisted then, by a
large minority, and as the events have
proved, by a minority which represented
majority Of the people. Hence we
cannot escape the conclusion that in pri-
vate and public affairs Governor McKin-
ley is ignorant or dishonest; or, at best,
that he is careless OF callous.
II he cared for the people he would moi
impose unjust taxes; IL he is not ignor
ant, or dishonest. or callous he would
not have put out 5000, 600 worth of paper
on $50 600 worth Of property.

THE four cents tax on pig tin Is sufii-
cient to settle the policy and the honesty
Of the Mckinley bill. That tax was ad-
vocated TO stimulate the importation Of
pig tin by protecting native tin miners.
Blocks OF American tin were on exhibi-
tion and orators and newspapers were
vociferously engaged in advocating tax
to protect our native tin. The event
has proved that we have no'native tin, in
paying quantities, even II we have the
mines where the tin is supposed to be-
The entire movement for the tax Of four
cents pound on pig tin was based on
vulgar lies and stupid frauds. But,
though exposed at the time. these lies
and frauds did not prevent Mckinley,
Reed, Higgins and the entire Republican
party from inventing, urging and finally
imposing that tax not for the purpose Of
revenue but to start an industry The
little man in the Presidential chair, more
partisan or more ignorant than the
average Republican, signed the bill i'm.
posing that tax eagerly, and preserved
the pen as a relic. AS for the others
were they ignorant or dlshonest2 Did
Mckinley know that those tales Of tin
we're lies or was he too partisan to care2
Was Mckinley mi taken or dishonestl
What difference does 1t make3 We know,
aud the Republicans admit, that there
are no tin mines. The conclusion is
inevitable that that four cent tax was
imposed either In ignorance or through
fraud II that is true Of tin why not tn,

over the child, but not in time to pre-.
