Deal in Shoddy Clothing.

Many of the old-timers these days
wonder why the clothing they used
to e years ago was so much better
than is o securable unless extreme
ly high prices be paid. A little thought
makes an explanation easy. This is
an age of advancement in every way,
and frauds increase along with inn
proved machinery, scientific methc@J,
etc. In fact the whole system of i'm
proveInent seems to involve mean Of
~lessening cost Of production.
Thirty years ago such a thing as
shoddy was not known. When one
purchased a suit of clothes, it was
"all wool" but at present it is an ex-
ceptional thing in cheaper garments
to find this the case. The reports of
the government show that each year
hundreds of tons OF shoddy, or wooden
goods ground up, are imported into
the United States, and a heavy duty
paid on the anne. This shoddy is
manufactured into cloth by various
processes. 1t is most often woven
around a cotton thread, and some
times is forced into the texture after
the cloth is woven. In samples sent
out by the cheap clothing concerns,
this shoddy ear be picked out. Often
it is 30 loosely woven that if a bit of
the cloth be crumbled between the
fingers, 1t will fall out in the form of
dust. Great quantities of this
cloth are utilized by the makers of
cheap clothing who do business
through the mails direct with the
wearers. A suit of this kind can be
purchased from eight to $2O-and
dear at that. The goods generally
look well, but lose shape, and in a few
weeks show all their defects. Seldom
are such goods sold by regular cloth
ing merchants, who have a reputation
to maintain, and if they are, they are
sold without Misrepresentation.

A CHANGE imperative.

The republican leaders contend that
congress, or the courts, may justly put
upon the constitution a construction
which shall be considered as the con-
stitution itself, and are unwilling that
there should be any check to oppose
their designs. If they had their way
every construction put upon the con
stitution by congress, or by corpora
tion-owned judges Of the inferior fed
eral courts, like Pritchard, would be in
effecs a new constitution. And thus
our supreme law would be tossed
about by every political breeze, until
it finally crystaNzed anew into a 70.
TEN of tyranny based upon arbitrary
practices dictated by corrupt corpo-
rations. President Roosevelt, who is
the leader OF the party favoring the
alteration Of the constitution by this
foul method, now has congress- at his
feet, and has appointed 81 federal
Judges. who presumably adhere to his
opinion. If the people desire to pre-
serve their constitution they must
very soon change the ADMINISTRATION
Of the government. They must change
X, indeed, al the next election.

Hfqh and Low Tariff.

The period of the most rapid devei
experienced was between 1850 and
1860, under the Walker tariff Law.
That was a low tariff period; but
within that decade the wealth of the
country increased from $7,135, 7S0,22S
in 1850 to- $16,159, 780,06S in 1860. Not
a single trust or monopoly was form
ed during that period. Not a single
millionaire or pauper was created by
law. Those who had got rich under
previous tariffs ~"acceIerated' the alb
o|litionist movement, however, and
the country went to pieces for a time,
as the result of the "acceleration'' of
the abolftionist movement by the in
dustrial corporations, which with
the war, found their opportunity of
increasing the governments expendit-
ures, and thereby necessitating a re-
turn to excessive taxation of the CON
sumers. IF the southern states had not
opposed a protective, OF monopolistic
policy of taxation, there would have
been no "acceleration" Of the aboli-
Zionist party by the fairfield aristoc-
racy, which has for many years past
~enieavored to enslave the working
men of the white race, as we'll as the.
black, by its advocacy of government

al judges. A protective, IL m%onopolis-
tic, tariff means hostility by manu-
facturers to agricultural labor. That's

age, values exceeding $4,000 apiece.
How much of this does the 1aborer
himself receive? We are told by the
statisticians that ON the average he
gets less than $500. The trusts, there
fore, get the rest, amounting to $t,400
on the work of each laborer. One
trust magnate, John d. Rockefeller,
gets $21.50 every minute; $500
every hour; $S0,96O every day. Who
earns it?

An Acute. Observer.

A one-armed man sat down to his
MONDAY luncheon in a little restaur.

right of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh

ALL ARE INJURED
BY SENDING MONEY TO ENRICH
MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
VALUE OF FARM LAND HURT
Prosperity Of Town and Prosperity
of Country Surrounding It Are
IdenticaI-LocaI Merchant Is
Friend of Farmer.

A writer in the Fullerton (Neb.)
N%ewsJournal gives some pointed rea-
sons why the farming community sur
rounding every town should get be-
hind the town and push its business
interests, urging consideration of what
that would mean compared to patron
izing mail order houses. II the town
grows, land values grow all around
it. If business men are compelled to
reduce their stocks or go to other
fields in order to get business, it is
not the town only but the farming
community that suffers. The question
is asked, what personal interest is it
to any M in that country to enrich
the mail order houses? The money
spent away from home is taken from
the prosperity of the town, and just
as directly from the prosperity of the
country surrounding it. The writer
declares that it is as much to the in
terest of every man who owns a farm
in Nance county to keep Fullerton
flourishing as 1t is for the people in
side the city to keep it flourishing.
The continued growth of a good town
always gives added value to all farm
lands adjoining. The local merchant
in a town Is the friend and neighbor
of the farmer. The mail order house
is nothing of the kind, and it cares
nothing for the individual interests of
the farmer except to get his money.
The local merchant, besides bearing
his share of taxes, is always assisting
the churches and charities Of the com
munity. No such help comes from
mail order houses. The larger bust
ness that is given to the home mer-
chant allows him to carry the larger
stock and to sell at a smaller mar
gin. To sacrifice your home town
is to depreciate local real estate val
ues and retard the growth of values
of both town and farm property. The
town that seems prosperous and looks
prosperous invites investment not only
in the town, but in the locality, so that
a stranger, looking for a location, be-
comes interested and a purchaser,
while he would ordinarily leave the
dead town and its surrounding terri
tory out of consideration.

The presidents question addressed
to the inland waterway commission
was, Shall we go ON paying double
and treble freights on raw materials?'
The question which manufacturers
perplexed by rising costs of produc-
ton are asking themselves is, How
much longer must we go on paying
prohibitive import duties on raw ma
terial?"
The National Association Of Manu-
facturers has taken action in this
sense, and two members of the cabinet
have shown perception of the urgency
of tariff reform. Naturally those hav-
ing a selfish interest in the perma-
nence Of the tariff are against the rails
ing of the subject, but among disin-
terested persons the president is al
most alone in forgetting the last words
Of his predecessor, whose relaxing tar
if policy he did not except from his
pledge to follow in McKinley's foot
steps.-N. Y. Times.

Objected to Outside Supplies.

Master plumbers in Newburgh, N.
j., have declared war against the mail
order business as applied to their line.
and have refused to handle stock
bought Of mail order concerns. The
decision was arrived at in the case of
a man who is building on Washing
ton Heights. The plumbers said this
man sought for bids for doing the
plumbing and was not satisfied with
the prices. He then asked how much
it would cost to do the work If he
would furnish the materials. The
plumbers refused to consider this at
all.
They said they are content with a
reasonable profit on their supplies,
but IL these are not purchased from
them they may as well go out of bust
ness for all the profit they will
make on the wages of the men alone.
The man had sent to Chicago for
his materials and they had arrived
here, but one after another Of the
plumbers refused to touch them. One
reason assigned was that the western
connections were such the local men
were not familiar with the work.
The man was in quite a quandary
for a time, because to have sent to
Chicago to bring a man here, or in
fact to bring anyone here from out of
town would mean an expense of at
least $25, this being the sum demand
ed for a license to do plumbing work
in Newburgh. Under a state law,
master plumbers must have a license.

Their Trip to Europe
By Virna Woods
(Copyright,)
By Virna Woods

Mr.. and Mrs. Chester Reynolds sat
In the back parlor of. their pretty new
cottage looking at their surroundings
with qualified approval.
The carpets and the curtains and
the furniture are all right" said the
lady; but We are deficient in pictures
and bFie-a-brac."
They had been married a month and
had just returned from their wedding
trip on the coast and settled down in
their new home. Chester Reynolds
was a b~ookkeeper on a salary which
hight have been larger; and he had
spent all of his capital on the build
ing and furnishing of his house. The
engagement, indeed, had been extend
ed first to two and then to three years
that the young man might save
enough to make this start in married
life. Sylvia had at first insisted upon
a wedding trip to Europe also; but her
lover had rebelled against further
postponement of the marriage. He
had compromised, however, by prom
Using the coveted trip in the second
year of their marriage, the money for
the purpose to be saved from his sal
airy. Sylvia was to be the ~inancier,
receiving the funds and expanding the
necessary amount on the housekeep-
ing, reserving the balance for the trip.
Now, however, as she looked about
the ~tastefully furnished rooms, she
seemed more sensible of certain bare
places on walls and mantel and cabi-
net than of the pretty furnishings that
had delighted her at the time of their
purchase.

Europe, | think l should be salts

that opened into the dining room; sit
looks rather bare
The first month they got an electric
lamp and the Aurora and a Wedg-
wood milk pitcher. There was moth.
ong saved for the European trip, but
they spent much time in the evenings
admiring their new possessions, which
had been noticed by several members
of the whist club.
But we really must save some,
thing the next time" said Sylvia; and
Chester assented.
But at the end of the next month a
cousin of Chester's sent word that he
and his wife would be passing through
the city and would spend a day or two
with them.
"Will and ] were old play-fellows
and school chums," said Chester, "and
he has done pretty well in the world.
l would like to make as good an ap-
pearance as possible"
I'VE will need a Haviland salad
set" said Sylvia, "and some oyster
forks"
Again the European trip was set
forward a month in the future.
The third month there was a bank.
Tupt sale OF Austrian cut glass, and
they decided it would never do to lei
such an opportunity pass.
I'VE might never have another
chance to get these things SO cheap
they said; and we will not be satisfied
without them" And they tried to put
from their minds the thought Of the
postponed trip, as they looked proudly
at their new treasures and saw whal
an air Of elegance they gave to the
rooms.
The fourth month they resolutely
turned their eyes from the attrac
tions Of the show-windows and would
not see the empty hooks and wall
spaces they had already filed in theil
imagination.

Race of Luxury.

Buenos Aires is already one of the
most magnificent cities in the world.
Enormous sums have been laid out in
widening the streets and erecting
splendid public buildings. But appar-
emily the Argentines are not yet con-
tent, for the Chamber has just au-
thorized the raising of a new munich
pal loan of $15,000,000 "for the pur-
pose of improving and embellishing
the city" This is probably due to
jealousy of Rio de Janiero, for the
Brazilians have recently spent a good
deal of money in identifying their cap
ital, and the Beunos Arrears are de-
termined not to be beaten in the race
Of luxury.-London Globe.
