DRY GOODS STEADY.

The attendance of buyers in whole
sale dry goods markets is large, many
openings of spring, 1917, lines in
mems wear, cotton goods and dress
goods being announced. Advance pur-
chases are proceeding on more con-
servatiye scale than last year in most
instances, due as much to the mater
tally higher price range existing as to
any other single factor
Production in domestic textile mills
is as large as labor scarcity and 9th
or difficulties will permit there being
lenty of large orders yet untitled on
the hooks. No relief is in sight from
the very high prices asked for tex
tile dyes, but more dyes at the high
levels are available than was the case
six months ago. The movement of
goods from mills has been impeded
in some sections by arrangement of
transportation facilities. notably in the
southern parts of the Atlantic sea-
board, where bridges were washed
away by recent foods.
Foreign trade figures that came to
hand during last week show that the
outward movement of dry goods for
the eleven months ending in May was
larger than the inward movement In
normal times the movements is the
other way to the extent of nearly
s150,000,000 year. There have been
some inquiries and sales that indi-
cate the possibility of an improved
trade in cotton goods with Far East
ern countries, stocks there having
been greatly depleted.
Visiting buyers express the opinion
that consumption of Cry goods may be
curtailed by high prices next year,
when the new levels iof values are
passed to the consumer over the re-
tail counters, but for the fall trade
they predict a very good movement,
with possibly less profit to the dis
tributor than that reported for the
first half of this year. For the mo-
ment, retailers are busy with clear
ance sales of many kinds.

NOT AFRAID OF FUTURE.

Here is a fair question for those
politicians who refuse to admit that
the present national industrial pros
perity is anything more than temper
airy prosperity based on the eXigen-
cies of the warning nations of Europe:
"W1ho are better qualified to fore
cast whether this nation, after the
war, is to continue irresponsible
men who direct the Republican ma
tional political campaign, or the men
who direct the affairs of the big Amer
lean industrial establishments?
The Republican campaign propa-
gandists are telling the public that
only the war is making the prosper
Gus times in America. They attribute
nothing to the constructive legisla-
ton enacted during the present Dem
ccratic national administration, but
tell the voters that the nations pros
perity will collapse at the close of
the European war unless in the mean
time the Republicans are put in con-
troll in Washington.
On the other hand the great Beth
lehem Steel company, headed by the
astute industrial captain, Charles NJ.
Schwab, and the even greater United
States Steel Corporation, headed by
that farsighted industrial genius, Ell
bert H. Gary, give unmistakable signs
of confidence that prosperity will con
tinue in America regardless of when
the conflict in Europe may end.
If these men and their corpora
tons do not think that way. Mr.
Schwab would have waited for few
months-or until he learned the re-
suit of the next presidential election
before deciding upon the expendi-
ture of SIS 1000 900 in expansion of the
plants of his corporation, and Mr..
Cary's board of United States Steel
Corporation directors, too, would have
awaited the outcome Of the Novem-
Der contest before committing them
selves to the elaborate plant extern
sions that now are being made at
Gary. Indiana, and elsewhere.
Men like MIR. Schwab and Mr.. Gary
do not throw millions to the winds.
They do not appropriate vast sums OF
money to permanent plant improve
ments unless they are convinced such
improvements are going to pay for
themselves. In brief they know that
the present administrations policies
are safe and progressive policies and
they have optimistic feelings with re-
gard to the nations industrial future
under a Wilson administration.

TESTIMONY THAT CANNOT BE

mined attacks Of the Italians.

Yet looked upon from the broad
viewpoint of the general result with
relation to prospects of a termination
OF the conflict, it cannot be said, so
far as the public on this side of the
Atlantic has been permitted to know,
that there has as yet been any deci-
sive victory for one side or the other
that would serve to raise the hopes of
speedy end of the struggle.
In part explanation or the TACT that
the Teutonic forces now generally are
on the defensive it must be recalled
that the German military authorities
months ago and before the recent
more or less material advances into
their territory had been made by the
Allies, announced publicly that it
would be the future Teutonic policy
not to seek to acquire more territory
but to resist with the full force of the
arms of the Central Powers any at.
tempts of the Allies to carry the con
fiict into lands at that time held by
the Teutons.
While there are indications that the
Teutonic policy of a purely defensive
campaign from that time on has not
in its results beea entirely satisfac-
tory to Berlin, it remains to what ex-
tent recent successful drives of the
Allied forces can be continued before
it can be decided whether these drives
are going to contribute ultimately to
ending the war.
Germany, it seems pretty we'll cs-
tablished, is in no danger of being
starved out, as vast territories UNI
der German sway are understood to be
in cultivation and, most abundant crops
are being harvested or are in pros
pect, and it must be recalled, too, the
aggressors, which the Allies have now
in sense become. always have the
more difficult task in warfare.

ents in congress such large support
for its measures as has the Wilson
administration, nor has any other ad-
ministration achieved so great a rec
ord of constructive and remedial legis-
lation.
Why do these Republicans vote for
the Democratic measures? Literally,
because the legislation devised under
the influences of President Wilson and
lis eo-workers in congress is so good
that they dare not vote against it. To
be exact, they actually plume them
selves on supporting it,
Now this carries a message to ev-
cry thinking, patriotic man in the
country. Why should any of them
further oppose Democratic govern
ment? 1t is exactly in their own in
terest, as the votes of Republicans in
congress testify. Why should any of
them oppose President Wilson, when
Republicans in congress testify to the
goodness of his measures by support
ing them?
The Republican party, in all con
science, had ample time and oppor-
tunity to do all these excellent things,
and it did them not. Why not in good
faith and for your own and your coun-
try's interest support the party that
is doing that which an Overwhelming
majority of the people approve?
