An Autumn Gown.

A stylish gown for the autumn is
made of golden-brown English mohair,
with a goard and plated skirt five
yards wide around the hem, full NUT
ton-leg sleeves draped slightly on the
outside of the arm, and round waist
a little pointed front and back Three
simulated box-plaits, narrowing as
they near the waist line, are lined with
crinoline, and edged with very narrow
bronze and gold bead gimp. Loops of
velvet trim the shoulders, and the
same material forms the soft belt and
folded stock collar. Large bronze and
gold buttons are placed on the upper
half of the box-plaits, and a clasp to
match fastens the girdle. The waist
is hooked in the back under the velvet
plait. A very small shoulder-cape Of
brown velvet, very full at the edge, is
lined with gold and brown shot taffeta,
and the long cape is edged with Van
dyke points of bronze and gold bead
passementerie. The skirt is I'M
trimmed. N. Y. Post.

inches below the waist-lne, and has a
tiny strap across the front holding the
fronts together. Mixed cheviot, tweed.

What to do with scorched places on
cloth is a question that sometimes puz-
zles the careful housewife. If the
scorch is not too bad, dipping the ar
ticle in soapsuds and hanging it in
the sun for some hours will be likely
to remove it. If the day is dull hang
the piece before a CRATE fire. Scorched
spots that are very bad, and yet have
not consumed the fibre of the goods,
are said to be restorable by repeated
dipping in a saturated solution of
borax. The saturated solution, as the
chemists call it, consists of as much
salt or crystal as the water will dis
solve. 1t is always safe to put in
little extra; if the borax stands undis-
turbed in the bottom of the bottle.
one is sure of the full-strength solu-
ton. Repeated dipping of this, with
exposure to sun or fire light, will re-
move what are by most housekcepers
considered hopeless discolorations---

The Wilson bill, "for revenue only"
has evidently failed in its primary pur-
pose Of furnishing the government
with money to meet its running ex-
penses. The monthly average of Gus
toms receipts for the first ten months
after it went into effect was only
Sl3, 1G7, 533, as against a monthly
average of $17,oG5,774 under the Nc
Kinley bill. The latter measure was
denounced by the democrats as calcu-
lated to shut out foreign trade, but the
fact that the aggregate value of our
imports was constantly increasing
while it was in operation seems to con-
tradict the assumption. The Wilson
bill has had the effect Of encouraging
the imports of manufactured goods,
but it has had tendency to diminish
the imports Of such articles as we are
incapable of producing in sufficient
quantities to supply ourselves. such as
coffee, tea, sugar, ETC., all of which
have relatively, and some absolutely,
fallen off since the Wilson bill went
into operation.-SanF Francisco Chron-
icle

The Textile Manufacturers Journal
has done useful service by collating
the imports OF wooden and worstcd
cloth during the first six months of
each year for five years past Earlier
in the present year, when compare

if had retorted that the only fair COM
parison was with 1892 The Journal
makes the comparison with 1892, and
neither the Times nor any other free
trade advocate is likely to take up the
issue.
For woolens the Wilson tariff came
into force January /, 1895. In the first
six months of this year. as compared
with like months Of the previous four
years, the imports of woolens and
worsted cloths have been as follows:
The Coconino weekly sun. [volume] (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1891-1896, 1895-10-03

This showing is unanswerable. In
1892 and 1893 imports reached high
water mark undea the Mckinley tariff.
If sugar can be deducted, the imports
of the dutiable manufactures were in
the aggregate larger in these two
fiscal years than ever before in our his
tory. The total imports OF dutiable
articles were greater in the fiscal years
of 1890 and 1892; but sugar paid duty
in those years and was free under the
Mckinley tariff. Tho mere aggregate
Of dutiable imports in the first six
month of 1892 was SOS, 900, 900; 1898,
sell, 900, 900; and in 1895, dcducting
sugar, Sl6Q, 100000 The total of duti-
able manufactured articles coming in
was therefore about three-quarters of
what it was in 1892 and 1893, when
prices were higher, demand greater,
and the tariff was nowhere cut SO as
to flood any one manufacture. If, how
ever, wool and other articles which
were free in the last six months, and
which were dutiable un3er the Nc
Kinley tariff has been about the same
in value within 10 per cent, as this ag-
grcgate was in the first half of 1882
and 1893. Prices were, it must be re-
membercd, higher then, however; SO
that the volume or quantity Of goods is
larger, although the value is about the
same.
But how was it with the wooden
manufactures? Look at the COMPARE
son above. In quantity, the past six
months have seen two and a half times
as much wooden and worsted cloths
imported as in the first half of ls9. and
value per pound was s9.54 cents in 1892
and SLIGO cents in 1898, against G5.
in ls05-a significant proof that cheaper
goods are being imported now. In
dress goods the importation for the six
months have been 80 per cent. larger
than in 1893, 81 per cent. larger than
in 1892 and 81 per cent. larger than in
1891.
In this period, also. American manu-
facturers have imported l00,G2S, 257
pounds of foreign wool, against AZ, 43S,
46l pounds in 1893, A, 062,2ll pounds in
1892 and 33,494,59l pounds in 1891.
Taking the computation of domestic
| wool and the weekly sales of wool and
the American manufacturers have
made q larger output of goods in the
past six months than in 1892 and 1893,
but they have made it under a stronger
competition than that of any other
| manufacture. Cotton goods are we'll
protected, although imports have been
increased. Iron and steel manufac-
lures. outside of tin plate, have scarce
ly felt foreign competition. Owing to
extremely low prices in other manufac.
lures, the effect of low duties has not
yet been felt in imports But on wool
competition has fallen with crushing
severity. Competitive imports in the
most important lines of wooden goods
have been increased two and one-half
fold. Prices have been cut. Wages
have not advanced as in other manu-
features. August, also, has seen a
sudden sharp falling off in the demand
for wooden goods. Unless there is a
revival in the market for woolcns in
the fall the consequences of this com.
petition will be most serious.-Phila.

B-One of the significant signs of
the times is the cool matter of-course
way in which the newspapers print the
announcement that Senator Bricc, of
Ohio, has sent word to the campaign
committee of his party in that state
that his contribution to the campaign
fund is two hundred thousand dollars,
and that the money is ready whenever
it is needed. For that amount of money
all the work of all the men to be
elected in the campaign for u year
could be hired done, and better done
than the elected men will do it, and
without the shameful dcbauching Of
the public conscience that goes with
this lavish use OF money in political
manipulation. Boston Traveller.
