InalsUeitiMr yov ptfr a
letter it psUeMd horn Bjiam W.
Holt from whktythe JoUowiac ez-
tracta are takearx I
"Our saanalaet
oftea nndertell. fbraign raaaifac-
turers as in .aaowaXby their ax-
porta of mow than flOMtpO
worth of maaiilhetared gooda
each year. If they cam do taie
when handicapped by datiee on
raw materiala what might they
not do with raw materiala free!
They could command the marketa
of the world."
And thig :
uIf we had free raw material!
we could undersell England
France and Geimaay in all the
markets of the. world."
Permit me to say that the above
assertions are urok" As to our
exports we already haye free raw
materials or practically so. It is
the law of the land that when a
manufacturer exports article!
made or partly made of foreign
raw materials on which he has
paid i duty all the duty paid by
him on these raw materials shall
be refunded to. him except 1 per
cent which is reserved by the
government. Thus if he exports
fabrics made of foreign wool on
which he has paid 10 cents a
pound duty the government pays
back to him all the duty except
one-tenth of 1 cent a pound. And
it is the same with all other lines
of raw materials made into articles
for export. Sp we already have
practical free trade in raw mate-
rials in our exports and such has
been the law for very many years.
If Mr Holt did not know this he
certainly is very ignorant for a
writer on economic subjects. And
still we do not "undersell England
France and Germany."
As for our underselling these
grand nations and capturing "the
markets of the world" that is not
practicable or possible unless we
first do two otL'ol things :
First: Reduce the wages of
our working people to the stand-
ard that prevails in England
France and Germany ; and
Second : Subsidize great lines
of steamships to all the great for-
eign ports of the world so that
our fabrics may be conveyed to
them at as cheap freight rates as
those of England France and
Germany.
As for the first the wages of
our work people exceed those of
England by 100 to 200 per cent
and those of France and Ger-
many by 200 to 400 per cent. Such
are the statements of our consuls
abroad iu their official reports to
the state department. It will be
a pitiful day for our country when
the wages of our laboring people
are brought down to such a stan
dard as that ; so that they can
barely live from hand to mouth
and are hopeless of a better con
dition. No man who loves his
country or humanity can desire to
see sucn a tning ior u woum
mean all evil and no good to any
of us. We cannot afford to pay
so ruinous and destructive a price
for the privilege of underselling
Europe in the markets of the
world. And yet that is the very
thing that the policy of the free
traders would lead us to if car
ried out. For free foreign trade
is not possible without free trade
wages.
All the great foreign powers
engaged in export trade subsidize
great lines of steamships to trans
port their manufactures at very
low rates of freight. England
especially does a tremendous bus-
ness in this line. The effect of
this has been to almost drive the
Americans from the high seas and
confine our shipping to a eoast
trade with ourselves. And if we
did not protect this coast wise
trade by legislation the foreigners
would soon drive our shipping out
of that also. We Americans do not
subsidize great lines of steamers
to carry our fabrics and products
abroad. We democracy say that
would be "paternalism" and "class
legislation."
Under the circumstances the
best we can do is tp protect our-
selves in our own marketa and
hold them for ourselves against

tha world. They are by far thaf
greatest marketa of the world ; in
feet worth all the rest put to-
gether Let as hold to them with
a grip dfateil.
We export a consideaable f
amoont of manufacturea as Mr.
Holt says but we do this not be-
caaae we "undersell" the Euro-
peans but because we . make
much better articles. Thus onr
agricultural implements go all
over the world because they are
the best that are made. Our rail-
road locomotives and equipments
are also finding a wide market for
the -same reason and also our
clocks and watches. Our yankee
watch makers are fast whipping
out all Europe as their clock
makers did long ago. There is
one article however in which we
do undersell the Europeans and
that is the cheap cotton fabrics
manufactured by our .southern
cotton' mills. The Chinese and
Japanese buy them largely and
they are making their way every
where also on account of
cheapness.

contracted a cold early last spring
that settled on my lungs and had
hardly recovered from it when I

cough which I thought I never

Shoulder shawls of crape bor

The new pocketbooks for femi-
nine use are Isrge and commo-
dious. Black drapery nets showing
large white polka dots are in de-
mand. Black and white effects are
still favored but the height of
the fad is past. .
Women may have either cloaks
jackets or capes and remain in
the fashion.
Cuffs of lace or linen or muslin
are again in vogue the muslin ones
being confined to woolen gowns.
Recently imported silks have
raised designs in chrysanthemums
lilies and butterflies on a white
ground.
Waved or serpentine braid of
silk and mohair in hercules and
more novel weaves is one of the
new fancies.
The latest thing out in butter
dishes is one low without cover
satin finished and has an inner
tray of cut glass.
The skirts of walking dresses
are all made to escape touching
the ground.
Two tone laces with insertings
to match are fashionable.
Pearls black white and pink
of unique beauty of shape and col-
or are worn sat bud fashion in a
tiny cup of brilliants as orna-
ments for the hair.
A new hairpin comes in ex-
quisitely tinted tortoise shell.
The top is formed of a row of
gold quill feathers which seem to
thrust through the shell.
Basques formed by small gath-

bon will 'make an old gown look
almost as good as new.
Tulle galloons for millinery are
thickly covered with jet spangles
or have clusters of colored ones
in the center and merely an edge-
ing and filling of jet.
Handsome novelties in silk and
wool and in fine all wool are
already imported. Those with
quaint designs creped and striped
in a contrasting color will find
great favor.
To be worn in suite with the
shaggy tweed and camel's hair
costume of the season are hats of
very rough felt sanglier felts
they are named brown and spiky
upon which quills and stiff feath-
ers are secured with bits of scar-
let or equally brilliant marigold-
yellow velvet.
You can tell a sealskin coat
that was bought this season from
one purchased even late last win-
ter as far as you can see the gar-
ment. The former has a much
fuller skirt it is longer is far wider
as to sleeves and is bretelled and
revered beyond anything in the
way of a seal wrap that has ever
yet been manufactured or worn.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
Washington Feb. 13. Re-
ceipts from internal revenue dur-
ing the first ten days of the pres-
ent month aggregated 5079211
as against $4514804 during the
corresponding period of last year
a gain of $564407. This tre-
mendous increase is regarded by
the treasury officials as a sure
sign of returning business activi-
ty. The significance of it will be
understood when it is known
that since the beginning - of the
present fiscal year receipts from
internal revenues had con-
stantly declined month by 'month
until the aggregate for the half
year was fully $12000000 less
than for the corresponding period
of 1893. . i

Shape of the Blan Bill.
Washington Feb. 13. Con-
gressmen Calberson Killgore and
Bell all made speeches on the
Bland bill in. the house to-day.
The speeches were listeaed te
with great attention by bekettae
of the 'house. Now that therein
amended there seems to be no
doubt that the measure will.
Secretary Carlisle it will;
membered objected to
silver certificates on the Qnee&Md
seigniorage for the reason that
such! certificates stated that they
represented coined dollars. Now
the amendment provides that the-
secretary may issue saea. certifi-
cates in his direction in advance
of coinage.'
The bill now stands about this
way: It provides for the seign-
iorage which will amount to about
155000000 and the 'issuance of
(certificates on it. It provides for
the coinage of the rest of the bullion
and the issurance of silver certifi-
cates on it. It further provides
that the coin notes issued under
the Sherman act for the purpose
of purchsing silver bullion when
redeemed in gold shall be retired
and in their stead silver certifi-
cates shall be issued. Under the
bill the currency of the country
will not be expanded further than
the 855000000 which will come
from the coinage of the seignior-
age. It is thought that the bill
is now shaped so that it may not
meet with a presidential vote.
Snow-Driven Elks.
Landerz Wyo. Feb. 13. It is
estimated that not less than 10-
000 elks have come out from the
mountains and foot-hills into the
prairies between Fort Washika
and the head of the Wind river to
escape the deep snow. Arapaho
and Shoshone Indians are very
anxious to get permits from In-
dian Agent Capt. Ray to slaugh-
ter these animals but so far they
have been unsuccessful.
Purvis Not Hanged.
Columbus Miss. Feb. 8. The
execution of Will Purvis was a
failure. The rope broke at the
first drop without injuring Purvis.
The spectators interceded and in
duced. the sheriff to refuse to
proceed with the hanging.
An effort will be made to se
cure executive clemency. Pur-
vis always asserted his innocence
of the -assassination of William JJ
Buckley in Marion county who
was killed by whitecaps of whom
Purvis was supposed to belong.
First Person Cremated in
America.
The first white person lawfully
cremated-VfiUiin the present lim-
its of the United "States accord
ing to the wishes and desirdSH ex-
pressed by himself was Colonel
Henry Laurens one of the Revo-
lutionary patriots. He was born
.in Charleston S. C in the year
1721 and died on his plantation
near that place on Dec. 8 1792.
His will which he had requested
them to open and read the next
day. after his death was supple-
mented with the following: "T
solemnly enjoin it upon my son
as an indispensable duty that as
oon as he conveniently can after
my decease he cause my body to
be wrapped in 12 yards of tow-
cloth and burned until it be en-
tirely consumed." The request
was carried out to the letter and
was the beginning of cremation in
America. St. Louis Republic.
