Shoe Trade Notes.
Chuzzlewit.


Boston is the largest shoe and
leather market in the world and the
market in which the buyer of shoes
and leather may obtain the greatest
and the best values. According
to statistics, Boston is the headquar-
ters OF three hundred and fifty-six
shoe manufacturing concerns; two
hundred and sixty-eight leather COM
panies and firms; one hundred and
two shoe wholesalers and commits
sion dealers; one hundred and seven
dealers in shoe manufacturer'sg goods;
sixty-five shoe manufacturers agents;
fifty-two glazed kid concerns; forty
six shoe machinery makers and deal
ers; sixty hide and skin dealers and
brokers and one hundred and fifty
four dealers in tanners and curriers'
oils, tallow and allied materials.
There are more than 1900 firms of
shoe. leather and allied industries
who have headquarters in Boston.
There are about 800 shoe manufac-
turing concerns in the entire country,
and three hundred and fifty-one, or
one quarter of them, have Offices in
Boston. Practically every large shoe
manufacturing firm in the country
has Boston office. Plainly, Boston
is by far the largest market in the
world for the sale of shoes.
No material is more essential to
the comfortable clothing of human
ity than leather, since no other sub
stance has been found quite so salts
factory for foot covering. Shoes of
some form or another have been
worn almost from the beginning of
civilization and from the sandal of
the ancient Israelite to the high
boot of today, is marked grad
ual development in manufacturing.
While shoes having the upper part
of cloth, velvet or silk, have been
worn at various times, there have
been few made in which leather did
not enter largely. The majority
are practically all leather, conse-
quently the leather industry is one
of the most important in the world
and one that is constantly calling
for new and improved machinery
and equipment.
Jobbers are busy filing orders
for dull calf pumps and patent leath-
ers. Reports that shoe manufacture
ers selling direct to the retailers are
finishing up their spring runs, and
after taking stock, will start right
in filling duplicate orders for fall
delivery. Good business is expected
this fall and their statesmen are leav-
ing every day now with large lines
of samples.
Judging from the call for spring
goods. manufacturers are of the
opinion that most retail stores
throughout the country are low on
salable shoes, especially tan, black
calf boots, satents and white imita-
| tion bucks. Most dealers desire to
buy from stock although many man
ufacturers are stipulating delivery
in three or four weeks.

KING CORN TO BRING BEEF
DOWN.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-If
high meat prices are caused by a
shortage of corn, material reduc-
tion in the cost of meat is due this
winter as the seasons yield will be
the third largest in the history of
the country, according to Secretary
Wilson to-day. Moreover bumper
crops of all kinds will probably re-
suit in a reduction of the cost of liv-
ing. The corn yield this year reaches
more than 2,S00,OOO,00 bushels.
Beef will be cheaper than it
has been for a number of years."
said the secretary. The best beef
is fed on corn, but with that cereal
so scarce in the last year that it
scared to seventy cents a bushel,
many cattle raisers felt they could
not feed their cattle for slaughter
ing purposes on corn and get their
money back. The result was that
little good quality beef entered Chi
cago and prices rose.
This year the corn crop will
reach more than 100000
bushels. This will appreciably low
er beef prices, aided by the splendid
hay and oat crop.
But the price of beef will never
be as low as it was a decade ago.
This is due to the fact that the
broad grazing lands have been split
into homesteads.
The oats crop is expected to be
the largest ever harvested; the hay
crop will be enormous. Cotton is
about the only crop that will fall
slightly below the average. The good
peach crop now being gathered is
taken as indication that all fruits
will be plentiful this fall
Altogether the outlook is so
promising as to indicate a reduction
in the cost of living next winter"

THE PROGRESSIVES AND THE
COIORED MAN,

1t is a striking commentary on the
difference between the professions
and performances of the new party
that its first official action should be
the denial of the right of colored
men living below the Mason and
Dixon line to take part in its delib-
erations.
Col. Roosevelt has been very loud
in his declarations that the chief pur-
pose of his new party was to afford
all citizens an opportunity to have a
voice in their own government; yet
at the very first test he yields on a
question of expediency as opposed to
principle, and denies to any and
every colored man of the South a
right to sit as a delegate in the
convention of his party. Not that
these men were not regularly chosen
as delegates, not that they lacked the

proper credentials, not that they did
not represent the people who sent
them, but simply that they were col
ored men instead of white. To have
recognized these colored men as del
egates and to have permitted them
to sit in the convention would have
been to ALLEVIATE the possible SYM
pathy and support of large body Of
white voters in the South. The only
hope of holding any considerable
portion of the white vote was to af-
front the colored voters, whose prac-
teal disfranchisement in the South
makes their voting power a negligi-
Bile quantity at best. 1t was simply a
question of political eXpediency. No
better illustration could be had of
the methods of the steam roller than
this. In the vain hope and pursuit
of success at the polls Col. Roose-
welt is willing to disfranchise, so far
as his party is concerned, a great
body of citizens whose political rights
are equal to the rights of any man
who sat in his convention, and
whose only offense is that their skins
are not white. 1t is true that a sop
is thrown out by admitting colored
delegates from the North where
there is no local prejudice against
the sharing of political rights with
the colored man, but this only serves
to emphasize the fact that the new
party, instead of being based only on
high moral and political principles,
as it's founders have pretended, is af-
ter all simply a party of expediency
and opportunism, ready to trim its
sails to any breeze that offers a
chance to watt its candidate for the
presidency into the White House.
In the meantime what becomes of
the professed admiration of the lead
er of the new party for the great
Lincoln who fought against odds
and suffered and finally died as re-
suit of his determination that color
ed men should have equal rights
and opportunities with white men.
What becomes of the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of
the United States, the spirit and let
ter of which are violated so far as
the new party has power to violate
them. Make way for the new party,
by all means. But let us hear no
more of its high moral principle as
distinguished from political expedi-
ency, and let us hear no more of it's
open door to all citizens of the
United States, regardless of race,
creed or color.

" THE DIFFERENCE"

Tennyson could take a worthless
sheet of paper, write a poem on it
and make it worth $4,000. That's
genius.
j. p. Morgan could write a few
words on a sheet of paper and make
it worth $5,000,000. That's capital.
The United States can take an
ounce and a quarter of gold, stamp
upon it an eagle and make it worth
$40. That's money,
A mechanic can take material
worth So and make it into a watch
spring worth $500. That's skill.
A merchant can take an article
worth Toe and sell it for $1.5O.
That's business.
A ditch digger can work ten hours
day, handling several tons of
earth, for $3.50. That's labor.
The printer of this card can write
a check for $4,000 and it would not
be worth dime. That's tough.
A lady could purchase a $500
hat, but she prefers one worth $25.
That's nonsense.
And any one who subscribes for
the Citizen" will get all the county
and other news for $3.50 a year.
