PRICE AND QUALITY.

Price has nothing To do with quail
ity; but quality has everything to do
with price,
Just read that over u couple OF
times, and keep it in mind when buy
ing table supplies.
We mean just this by 1t that II
price cannot be said to be high or low
until you know the quality.
Good quality may often be cheap
the best IL always the cheapest, nt u
reasonable price; but poor qnality IL
seldom or never cheap, at any price.
You are sure Of only one quality
here the best, whatever the grade,
and with our great facilities, you are
sure OF the lowest prices, and the very
best OF service.

WHITE LENTILIIEs ON CARD SOLD TO
 JOBBING TRADE

These buttons are not made here, nor are they likely to be made. First, be. cause little or none of the raw material required has been found here; second, because the total sales being limited to this country would not warrant the investment of the necessary capital in plant needed to make the various styles wanted. It is evident that the intention is to exclude these goods in the interest of some higher-cost goods. The pro- posed duty would be a real hardship and bear heavily on the class of people who buy "china buttons," as we'll as on the manufacturers of cheap shirts, under wear, etc.
 Bone Buttons (to sew on)-Present duty, 35 per cent; Mckinley bill, 5n per cent; proposed duty, from 106 to 194 per cent. These goods are mostly sold to manufacturers of cheap under wear, children's waists, corsets, cloth ing, etc.

HIGH DUTIES ON BUTTONS.
An Injustice to the Poorer and Msa-
 dIe Ckusses


 The hutton manufacturers. present and prospective, are unusually greedy in their demands for tariff duties. Me Kinlcy duties arc entirely too slow for the button infants. Tie following is part of statement madnfoy button irt- porters:
 The proposed duties on buttons, as per schedule of the Mnnnce committed of the senate. are as a rule prohibitory and would prove . severe hardship on goods used by the poorer and middle classes, and also manufacturers of various garments used by the mass of our people. such ns low-priced shirts, underwear, clothing, etc. The follow ing data will give some idea of the in equalities of the proposed duties:
 Agate Buttons-present duty. rico Mckinley bill, 25 per cent; proposej duty of one-twelfth of one cent per line per gross, plus 15 per cent. ad va lorem, would average from e to l61 per cent, bearing heaviest on the class Of goods that make up the great bulk of the importations.
