PLUNDERING SHIPPING LAWS r ITHDHAWAL from American Wlf register of tho Dollar lino of steamships, following upon that of tho Pacific Mail liners , goes far to romoVo tho American flag from foreign trade In tho Pacific. The reason Is that under tho seamen's law It would cost $32,011 a year moro to operato tho Hobort Dollar under tho American than under tho British flag. Tho purposo of that law was to amollorato tho condition of American seamen and to Increase safety of llfo at sea. In fact, It ncompllshcH neither purposo.

There )b no longer imy question about tho I results received from caicful, persis tent, holiest nnd (jontlnucd adver tising, with frequent changes nnd quoted prices.

Tho mall order houses nnd tho city department stores go out to the pcoplo with tho messago of tho bnrgalna they have to offer in the newspapers, or through cata logues, nnd they keep everlastingly nt It.
