The cutting In the bicycle trade. fol.
lowed by failures which nre apt tO lead
tn still lower prices. In not likely to
prove IN unmixe,l evil to any one.
lcast Of all to those who are In tho
trade. The causes making such re-.
suits Inevitable are clear. The cnor-
nous increase IN the demand IL lead.
Ing to an unlntelligent attempt ut sup.
ply. Many who know how Ia make %
good bicycle are doing It without lnv.
Ing Ind time to learn the market. Con.
selucntly they are denOrallzing the
market. This must continue, OF course.
until u sufficient number Of failures ut
the right time AMI In the right place
puts the business on u business basis.
The principal cause. however. IL that
bicycles are still too high. They are
destined tn be used universally. and
every article Of universal use must liz
sold ~ small profit. In staples great
fortunes are never suddenly acquired
by legitimate business methods. The
bicycle has become u staple. AMI II
must be made and dealt In on that
basis. But no other trade has n better
assured future. Four years ago wheels
were sold by the hundred where they
are now sold by the ten thOl,sa nj. as
they will lm by the hundred thousand
In u few years more. This seems to be
absolutely certain. nor does It seem less
certain that they must be greatly
cheaper. Those who have money IN
vested In them cannot afford to leave
either point uncOnsidered.
Mrs, Harriet Reecher Stowe. who

tinction of having written the book
which more than any other. possibly,
was instrumental In crystalllzing abOl.
itlOn sentiment In this country. First
published In 1852, "Uncle Toms Cab.
In" came before the public at exactly
the moment when 1t would attract at
tention ana hold popular sympathies.
The sentiment against the mOnstrOus
practices of slavery was growing daily
Mrs. Stoves book was more than a
work of fiction, for while 1t had the
interest of romance 1t had u savOring
of unmistakable truth; 1t drew IN vivid
cOl0rs the sufferlngs of the slave race
and the negrO's aspirations for free
dom. The success OF the work, as
compared with that OF other hcti0ns
OF the nineteenth century, was amaz-
Ing. The editions speedily ran up into
