and give frequent statements to the
newspapers of the fact that their cx-
port orders are very large.
In connection with this it is interest
ing to know that according to the gen
orally accepted price list of the leading
export houses, discount of 80 per cent
is allowed upon orders for export. That

again for his stove as is paid by the
wOrkingman of England or Germany
for the same American product. The
large stove interests have, along with
the other greater corporations and
trusts of the country. pushed the homo
price up TO a prOhibitive point. and are
now compelled to run on short time
with reduced forces. and still sell {,
