DAILY DEMOCRAT. PROSPECTS OrTHEHOISKKYTKADE. The Albany Evening Journal published last week a roclterom dispatch from one o! the hosiery manufacturing towns ex plaining how the McKlnley tariff was go ing to boom business. Every one In the town of Amsterdam, N. Y, where the manufacture of hoisery and knit goods 1 the chief Industry, was rubbing hl handi with delight. The rew tariff would ena ble the manufacturers to charge moic for their goods, and the mills were on the eve of their golden age. But the dispatch w candid enough lo admit two drawbacks to this beautiful picture. The new tariff la:? protected other people besides the manufacturers, and to this extent deprived the Amsterdam people of the protective profits they w ere feasting their eyes on. The new tariff law increased the cost of wool and of pearl buttons, two articles which the Amster dam manufacturers have to buy In large quantities. So the hosiery men were go ing to have their taxes Increased a: the same time their profits were to be increased. However, they congratulated themselves that even if the net results of the new tariff did not greatly increase their rate of profits, It would at least give them the whole A merican market bv keeping German and English hosiery and knit goods out of the market. Of course, there i6 some force In this ar gument, but it is subject to certain quali fication which the Albany Evening Jour nal and Its hosiery correspondent do r.ot notice. We are confident thct every man who has kept a store, whither a little country variety store or a great metro politan emporium, will appreciate the force of it. Hosiery and knit goods, whether they are to be worn by men or women, are generally bought by women, ard women are very close buyers. When they go shopping a sign of "Bargain" is never over looked, and the diflerence between $i and 97 cents on a price card assumes large pro portions in their eves. Now, the Amster dam and Cohoes manufacturers are laugh ing with glee over the now tariff bill because they expect to mark 75-cet:t shirts up to $r But suppose the wives and mothers who are out shopping for their fandlies refuse to pay $i, and mend up the old ones for another season, or make flannel under wear; what shall it profit a manufacturer if he shall gain a vast amount of protect ive tariff but lose his customer? Tlx politician may laugh at It, but the merchant knows very well that a decrease in price expands sales, and an increase of price rcsti lets them. The overwhelming majority of people In this country arc obliged to be economical, and they will buy less if prices advance, if they are al ready buying as little as possible of some article, they will give up some other art! cle of comfort and luxury. They have only a fixed amount of money to spend, and the new tariff law does not, cannot, in" crease that. If the price of woolen goods advance the demand to them will fall off, and if the demand for woolen diminishes, the de mand for wool will diminish. What will it profit the American sheepowner to have the duty on foreign wool increased if de creased demand for woolens reduces the demand for wool? It is said that there are only two words in the English language wliitli contain all the voweli in their ordei. They are "abstemious" and "facetious." The following words each have them in irregular order: Autliorative disadvantageous, encouraging, cfti:acioui, in stantaneous, importunate, mendacious, nefari ou, precarioui, pertinacious, sacrilegious, sim ultaneous, tenacious, unintentional, oujecuon able, unequivocal, unJiscovetable and vexati ous The accumulation ol explosive gases in a room, miae oi a ship's hold, can r.ow be asccr tained by means ofan indicator.
