 His answer was: "We want the Amer ican. market. It is the greatest market in the world and during the time the Mckinley bill was law our manufac- turers were quite paralyzed."
 There was exported from Bradford during the last nine months of the ex- istence of the Mckinley law $4.47S,OO0 worth of goods. This was from January l, 1894, to September 30, 1894. During the corresponding period of the following year lfrom January 1, 1895, to Septem- Der 30, 1S95,), under the Wilson bill, sa, the fSI exports nnS from Bradford amounted to $2l,!u;OOO. Five times as much under the Wilson bill as under the Mckinley bill. The total exports for the year 1895 from Bradford amounted to $27, ,745, ,O00. These exports include thirty-seven items, but consist chiefly of card clothing, cot ton. goods, iron and steel, machinery, hosiery, stuffed goods, worsted goods, yarns, silks, etc.
 Mir. Meeker United States consul at Bradford, furnished me these statistics, which were taken from his reports to the state department.

Then I went through the thickest part of Whitechapel an alley called Petticoat lane. The meat hanging in the stores and on the was so filthy that it sickened me and 1 could not tarry long enough to even ask the price of it. 1 asked the price of herrings-1 cent each. Bread was 1 cent loaf. and it was hard look ing bread; potatoes one-half cent q pound; onions one-half cent a pound: 3 pounds of carrots for 2 cents.

 Going through little court about LUX 10 feet, in the rear of this house, l came to the shop where one of his daughters makes chain with another woman. l asked her name and she told me Clara Boxley. Her age is p years.
 She has been making chain for five years and receives from $1.75 to $2.l0 a week for her work. She makes three eighths inch chain and is paid $l.O2 for 112 pounds. For breakfast she has bread and butter and tea and sometimes piece of bacon. She told me she worked from o'clock in the morning until in the evening; that the only req son she staid there was because she could not save enough money to pay her fare away from the town.
 The buildings look as if they had stood for centuries, and as l passed through the little court leading into the house and which is walled on every side by houses l counted fifteen little children from ? to 6 years. of age playing to- round blacksmith shop in this district Across the alley was another shop where another daughter was making. chain She is married, has one child and makes $2 16 per week.
 She has been making chain for twenty years, having commenced when she was 12 years old. Her husband, chain maker also, earns from $3 to $4.5O q week.
 Mrs. Polly Fowkes has four daugh- ters making chain. She is 54 years old and has made chain since she was years of age, but is now too old to work at it any more.
