WANAMAKER CLOTHING

Somewhere between 500, 900 and
SIPS, 900 Summer Clothing selling at
clear loss of one-fourth all round
just as if we'd never have another
summer to sell clothes.
We shan't be believed until you see the goods
Not halfdozen times in all our years that we
sold without getting even somehow. Can't this
time; aren't trying: we're losing on black suits,
gray suits, thin cothes-every sort except Thibets
and serge
We sell Thibets at SIS and they cost it.
We sell Serges at $3.50 to $I8: If we asked
$I0 to $25, we'd please the stores and waste our
advertising.
The rest of the stock like this:
Black worsted and crepe, $50 suits for $3.50.
Black worsted fine diagonal, $40 suits for $lO
Coat and vest Zine as in $50 SUITS for $40.
Homespuns- s-have been SIP for $3.50.
Boys clothes same way,$3 suits for $2.25: $l0
for $6.75
Same sort of clothes we always sell: !: better made
this year, perhaps-no, certainly; everything the
same except this plunge in prices.
Explanations don't explain: the times are bad;

WHY THIS CHANGE2

The tariff plank in the Demo
cratic platform this year is not
receiving that attention and OPP
position, from Republican papers
and speakers as formerly. Why
is this, thus? Has the word gone
out that their British Allies are 0
little sensitive on the subject o.
protection ?
They no longer clamor for pro.
lection to the American laborer-
they are so busy trying to prevent
his being cheated with a 53 cent
dollar. Republican love for thu
working man is Of a kind thai
sticketh like a brother (about elec

change as We see in this campaign

Cleveland is in favor Of the no

means of electing Mckinley, and
that he does not want Bryan
