LACE IMPORTATIONS.
Of $50 100000 Worth Used Here Last Year
80 Per Cent Came from Abroad

The limited States has made great strides in the
manufacture of many things. but lacemakins Is
not one of them. OF the S60.ooo000 worth Of lace
goods which this country consumed last year more
than 30 per cent was imported.
The bureau Of manufactures has Just issued a
pamphlet giving some significant figures on this
subject. 1t appears that Switzerland. that INDUS
tr,ous' little country, has been making money I'M

of cotton lsces and embroderies imported by this
country last wear IS per came from SWitzer-
land. OF silk ases and emhroideries and ribbons
more than ss0oo.oCo worth was imported last year.
and large percentage Of this was sent by SWitzer-
land also 1t is certainly blow to national pride
to learn that while little mountainous Switzerland
sent out to the world last cotton manufactures
to IN. value of S45OO0oOO this big United States
exported Of the product only s26.ooooo, st.
Gall Switzerland, sends these goods TO the United
States in large quantities In the space Of SIX years
St Gall doubled its exports OF such goods whereas
the United States Is steadily losing ground In the
expectation OF cotton manufactures But since
January last this country has not proved such a
mine OF wealth to S.. Gall. and consequently the
workers there suffering
The United States has only six hundred and six
teen embroidery machines IN operation Switzer-
land has I'm operation six thousand power ma
chimes and sixteen thousand hand working ma

the same proportionate increase marks the pay OF

pared with similar workers in Switzerland But
let not the credulous deem this due to American
generosity The largest factories in ST. Gall are
owned and controlled by Americans.
