Detroit AS a Market

The souvenir program TO be pre-
sented to guests by the wholesalers
during the week OF Aug. 10 TO Is VIII
contain the following:
Without exception or tendency to
become pedantic. II can be stated that
Detroit is one of the best places to
buy goods, In the United States. II
Is also one OF the greatest manufac-
turing centers in the country. Here
can be found almost every product
turned out OF the shops and the mills
of Detroit There Is no line OF goods
handled by the retail merchants that
cannot be found In abundance In this
market
There are many reasons why this Is
true, The wholesalers OF the city,
most OF whom are members OF the
Wholesalers association OF Detroit,
are in such excellent financial condi-
ton that they are able to discount
their bills, thus getting advantage OF
the lowest possible buying price. and
that advantage Is shared with the re-
taller. The quality OF the goods sold
and manufactured In the city OF De-
troit is such that II has given this
city a worldwide reputation. The
merchants of Detroit are honorable.
wide-awake, business men, and while
they conduct business on business
principles. It is according TO the high
est codes of business honor. The
same is true of the manufacturers.
whose treatment of their employees.
whose consideration for those TO
whom they sell, have entitled them
to the splendid reputation they have
built ND. Labor conditions in Detroit
are ideal. Nature has done much to-
ward this end, and the manufacturers
have nobly supported her efforts by
adopting the cause Of Live and let
live" This explains why Detroit Is
the City OF Homes. This explains
why the great ambition OF the artisan
is to own his home. which he beau
tihes internally and externally. SO
that even in the poorest quarters OF
our fair city well-kept lawns and at
tractive flowers meet the eye. Thus

thrown open and the Victor was run
through on slips very similar in con-
struction TO those from which the Di

and then braced themselves and with
almost their last gasp forced the

Yet still over the hill and up from

upon thousands OF late arrivals.
Strong jumped into the Victor and,
climbing to the afterdeck. booked
quickly all about him.

called to Arbuthnot-"of seconds.

Tariff other Than for Revenue Only

Tariff other Than for Revenue Only
10 illegal.
To the Editor OF The Times: The
editorial In your paper on the after
noon OF July 80 was one OF the strong
est arguments for the need OF tarin
reform that have ever read. I re-
greet that II cannot be placed In the
hands OF every voter In the United
States. as believe the careful read
ing OF II would lend great strength TO
the Democratic cause.
The reading OF the editorial caused
me TO do some studying on the tarin
question. and find, according TO the
constitution that b tariff other thans
for revenue only. is contrary to the
constitution. The prohibitive tartn
as now I'm force does not provide q
revenue, as IL prevents absolutely the
importation OF manufactured goods.
thus enabling home manufacturers to
charge exhorbitant figures. every cent
OF which goes from the pocket OF the
consumer 10 the pocket OF the favored
few. All the government gets out or
II Is campaign contributions.
The constitution provides: THE
congress shall have power to levy and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and ex.
cises TO pay the debts and provide
for the common defense and general
welfare OF the United States"
Judge Thomas Cooley, formerly OF
the state supreme court says: Con
stitutionally tax can have no other
basis than the raising OF revenue for
public purposes only. and whatever
governmental exaction has not this
basis Is tyrannical and unlawful. A
tax on imports. therefore. the purpose
OF which is not TO raise revenue. but
10 prohibit some particular import for
the benefit OF some home manufacture
er may well be questioned as being
merely colorado and therefore not
warranted by constitutional princi-
pies"
Judge Miller. OF the supreme court,
agrees with Judge Cooley. and the
supreme courts OF Maine and Iowa
have held similar views.
II will thus be seen that the Repub-
lican tariff Is as illegal as a law TAX
ing money from the pocket OF one
class and placing II in the pocket OF
another class.

our artisans become our citizens and
our taxpayers.
Situated as II is, II Is one OF the
best distributing centers for the
wholesale and manufacture In the
country. Radiating from 1t like
spokes from a wheel, are the great
traffic lines going north. south, east
and west. Detroit gets IS per cent OF
the Chicago rates from the east. In
other words the Detroit wholesaler
buying goods in New York or Europe,
pays rs per cent freight on what would
cost the Chicago merchant $1.00. and
on all freight originating on the Pa
cifc coast Detroit pays the same rate
as Chicago. On all freights from the
south Detroit also enjoys the Chicago
rate. 1t will thus be seen that De-
'troit. as far as transportation goes.
Is placed upon parity. In fact has a
slight advantage over the second larg-
est city In the United States. This
fact coupled with the enterprise and
energy OF our business men, we'll war
rants the assertion that Detroit Is
one OF the best markets In existence"

About the ring the constables were
hot. fiurried and half exhausted. The
pressure against them was immense.
AT half-past one 1t was necessary to
telephone urgently for reinforce
ment OF police-not only reinforce
ment, but large achievements.
Never. indeed, In the memory or
any man, never indeed In the record
of English public events, could such
"a crowd be remembered. The
roads leading TO the Palace had
been blocked with vehicles for hours;
the railway officials were In despair.
Trains were jammed to bursting. Peo-
pie sat on the racks, on each others
knees. and stood ten deep in the cen
ter Of the compartments.
And still the people came.
A hundred fresh constables came
streaming down the slopes, and fought
their way through the crowd to the
ropes. To a certain extent this re-
lieved the strain on the constables
who had been there all the morning,
and they succeeded In thrusing back
the crowd a little.
Strong, standing bare-headed and
debonair on the lawn. turned to Miss
Hunt, who was by his side.
do you know, Miss Hunt" he said.
this reminds me OF that memorable
scene In Alice In Wonderland where

And thick and fast they came at
last, and more. and more. and more F"
Miss Hunt looked anxiously about
her. Even with the added force OF
constables, the police were having an
extremely unenviable time. Slowly but
surely the crowds around the ropes
were forcing the constables back.
IF they do not look out" said
Strong. surveying the harassed police
men. 'it will be a case or Charge,

To him Strong said never word Of

whispers, cautioning him, however, to

Later came Pelham and Wildney;
and Strong ordered breakfast to be
brought to them In the shed.
BY now he was his old. light-hearted
self, and he laughed and chatted OF
all things In the world except the
great expedition which was before
them.
The announcement that Strong's
mysterious airship was to attempt her
flight at three o'clock had for week
been bruited everywhere. Flaming
placards announced the fact at every

has had a number Of these unlined frocks
made up in crepe de chine, The waist line
is slightly high, the skirt is trimmed only
by a group Of twelve three-quarter inch
tucks at bottom. the clinging bodice is en-
broidered all over in self -oolored silk and
large design,
There Is a round shallow guimpe, and
there are short closely draped sleeves
matching the guimpe. Nothing simpler
in line, easier TO don, more readily oleansed
and yet more chic for summer afternoon
wear could well be imagined, and yet in
delicate shades Of rose, old blue, biscuit,
&C., such irooks are particularly dainty and
summerlike.
The embroidery is the only detail de-
handing much work or expense, but to be
effective it need not be OF difficult design
or very fine workmanship, and many a
woman could readily do this work herself
In heavy floss and bold stitch.
The vogue Of the unlined frock has grown
apace since the princess and semi-prin-
q host Of women are having frocks Of sum-
mer silk, light weight Worsted, &c, made
up on the lines Of the cotton and linen
frocks, quite without lining. Even sheer
stutfs, such as wolfe, are sometimes made
after the fashion Of the lingerie frock and
worn over separate slips, but In such a
case the slip must be very carefully fitted,
and, Of course, there are limitations In tn g
designing Of such a frook.
Apropos Of the unlined sem%i-princess
irocks In Cottons and silks, clever dress
makers assure Shapeliness for these by
using with them q little closely fitted and
carefully boned undergirdle OF lawn per-
haps eight inches In depth. This may be
made dainty by q finish Of lace at top and
bottom, and the little semi.prinoess frook
may be attached to- Il At the waist line.

generally used In the semi-prtncess models.
