SPONGE TO the statement by the Re
publican senator that he had been I'M
able 10 obtain any reduction in biz
tailor.made clothes, the Democratic
senator said
IF the senator will just Join tbs
holy army Of men that God created
with such perfection Of physical form
that they may be fitted at ready
made clothing store, the Senator viii
find that goods are cheaper"
As this statement was made in
Washington, and therefore evidently
referred TO Washington prices, your
correspondent at the capital has made
an investigation. Five prominent
dealers in standard makes of mems
clothing makes which have national
reputation---were asked If there has
been any reduction in the price OF
ready-made mems clothing in the last
three years.
They all said they had to pay as
much now for their clothing as before
the Underwood tariff bill went into
effect, hence had to charge the con-
sumer as much now, as before. They
all said that the consumer pays at
least as much now for his ready-made
clothing as he did three years ago.
One dealer said that the cloth used
now is no better than that used before
the tariff reductions; one said that the
cloth is a little better, he thought
Another said that the cloth is no bet
ter, but that the reduction in tariff is
made up for by a little better work.
manship, such as tailoring and finish
ing. Two said that the cloth is about
the same now as then in the 500 to
$25 suits, and that the clothes for
which these prices are paid to-day
will not give one bit better satisfac-
tion or better service than suits
bought at the same prices before the
Underwood tariff became effective.
The fifth dealer said that he is do
ing a business of over 100000 an
nually in standard brand of clothing
and that, while the prices have not
been lowered, he thought the cloth
used inferior now because of the
scarcity of wool. Many of the wool
growers, anticipating the tariff re-
auctions had sold their sheep and
many of the sheep have been used for
mutton, which has decreased the num-
Der Of sheep by about nine million
head. All but one of the dealers said
that they had noticed that the con-
sumer had much more money to spend
before the Democratic tariff became
effective.
The cloth used in a suit of clothes
costing at retail $4,000 or $4,000 does
not cost over $500 and very probably
it costs less. There is hardly cloth
used which costs over S1.00 per yard,
especially of the kind used in the av-
suit retailing from $40
to S25. Suppose that the price of this
cloth were reduced 10 per cent-which
would be very great reduction-this |
could not reduce the retail price Of the
suit more than 80 cents. With this
$25 suit could be sold for
S24.65 if the consumer were given full
oenfit. But our investigation has
shown that there has been no actual
The claim of the Democratic sena-
or, quoted above, is therefore wide Of
he mark and must have been made
merely for political effect. The I'm
lerwood tariff bill has utterly failed
n its purpose with respect to this
commodity, and there is no doubt that
he same test may be successfully 4
applied to other necessities.

IRON TESTING DEVICE
Regarded as Valuable Contribu.
tion to Science; Franklin Con-
fers Certificate of Merit

George p. Vanier, chief chemist at
the plant of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, has invented an improved
potash bulb, device used in testing
iron and steel. Mr.. Vaniers inven-
ton is a valuable contribution to
science and has been recognized by
the Franklin Institute. Philadelphia,
which has conferred a certificate of
merit upon him.
In speaking of the invention the
Iron Trade Review in its current issue
says:
The bulb has been designed par
ticularly for use in determining, in
industrial laboratories, the total
amount of carbon in iron or steel. In
such laboratories time is often an
important factor.
THE bulb is of large capacity and
by provision of a glass spiral, in which
the gases of combustion of the sample
under test and the potash solution
circulate together, a high rate of OBJ
sorption of the carbonic acid is OBJ
tained. With the bulb is combined a
drying tube.
"Mr. Vanier is chief chemist for the
Pennsylvania Steel Company. He has
also designed zinc tubes and sui
phuric acid bulbs for use in connec-
ton with the Vanier combustion train
for the determination of carbon in
steel by direct combustion with the
electric furnace"

John /. Alexander, 33 years old, of
