earning during the year just closed
amounting to ss,O75 1856. Who among
VI is there who would believe there
Is such a nenormous sum invested in
the button industry, or that such a
great army of people derive a living
therefrom.
A great variety Of materials enter
ed into the manufacture of the many
grades AMI styles of buttons prcduc-
ed. Those made of pearl constitute
the product of chief value. The &c.
12l ,4o5 gross of suc1 buttons, valued
a. 1889 .2G8, represented IS per cent
Of the value of the total production
of buttons. The output of fresh-wa-
ter pearl buttons was nearly FIVE
times that of ocean pearl, but the last
named were relatively of greater
val4e. Vegetable ivory buttons, the
class OF next Importance, were made
to the amount of 5,12S,005 gross, val
ued at s2,SS5,5O3. Other buttons pro-
duced IL. Inc order of their value we're
covered, ceiiuloid, shoe, bone and
horn.
The industry was distributed
through "a states, of which report
ed products valued at more than ST.
100000. New York, the leading state,
had z24 factories, whose output
amounted to 1891 ,29O; Iowa, 81 fac
tories, products valued at $3,254,771;
the product Of the 60 factories in New
Jersey wa5 valued at $2,508,840;
Pennsylvania "a factories produced
$1,741,507, and the Is factories in
Connecticut $1,498,OO2 worth of but
tons. About two-thirds Of all vegeta-
BILE buttons were manufactured in
New York state. Iowa furnished
about two-thirds of the total pearl
button blanks, but the New York fac
tories produced almost one-half of the
finished pearl buttons. Practically
all of the bone buttons were made in
Pennsylvania.

MISREPRESENTATION IN
IRELAND.

In the cable dispatch from London
dated July "a, John Dillon is stated
to have asked the House of Commons
If it intended to support the princi-
pies of determination" or not.
Has not the British Parliament al
ready given ample proof that it does?
Did not the Irish convention fur
nish proof? Was it not based on the
principle of self-determination? Was
not every Irishman in every nook
and corner of Ireland given the OPP
portunity to vote? If the Irish con-
vention did not represent self-deter-
mination what does? Is there to be
any distinction between self" deter
mination and selfish" determination
Is the opposing faction, the Ulsteri-
tes, to Mr.. billions Nationalist fac
ton to have no voice in the self-de-
termination principle? Does Mr.. Dill
lon or the O'Brienites or the Sim
Feiners own self-determination? Has
not Ulster extended its hand to Mr..
Dillon? Has not Mr.. Dillon not only
turned his back to it but metaphor
cally spat upon it? In short, has Mr..
Dillon or any other representing Nat
ionalist or Sim Fein factions ap-
preached Ulster or the British Gov
eminent in any other but an acrimon-
ious, irreconcilable spirit?
Ever since the death of John Red
mond, has not the Irish Nationalist
Party displayed a selfish disregard
for the fate of the rest of the world?
Has it not, like its Sim Fem cou-
sins, placed Ireland uber allies, above
God and the right, above the liberia
ton Of the world? Is not this "sel-
Ash" determination? II not, why are
not all Irishmen, irrespective of
party or creed, fighting side by
side with British, French, Italians
and Americans in a cause which
Is for God and the right, a cause
which, alas, she deems of secon-
dairy moment compared with her
own particular grievances?
