“It would be vain to believe that
we can hope to escape the competi
tion sure to result when the beliger-
ents return to the peaceful trade pur
suits.” says Bradstreet. A protective
tariff wall is the only effective form
of defense American industries can
depend upon when war ceases.
If wc did not have indisputable
proofs of the benefits of a protective
tariff and the disaster of free trade
under every political administration
that has tampered with it, wc might
afford to give free trade another ex
pensive trial. But why experiment
with a known result?
“The future of this country’s trade
and industry depends largely upon
the questions of when and how peace
will return to the world,” says Brad
street’s annual report on American
business, and the prospects of Amer
ican markets overstocked with cheap
foreign-made goods are by no means
alluring.
The health bulletin issued by the
North Carolina State government
carries an editorial under the dyna
mic caption, “Ain’t It Ilell to be
Poor?” But as long as our Tar Heel
friends cast their ballots for free
trade congressmen they will be com
pelled to submit to their self-imposed
synonym of Sherman’s idea of war.
The designers have made this new
style suitable for street wear by mak
ing it in fine gabardine, poplin and
serges, in blue, black and green.
Another borrowed spring fashion
is an adaptation from the Russian
ballet costume. This new style is
seen principally in dresses and gowns
It shows a tight fitting bodice with
a long waisted effect and very sharp
ly flaring flounces.
This style is also seen in costume
suits of novelty silk, or silk in com
bination with tine French serges.
However, this style was not origi
nated by the Russian ballet artist. It
really dates back to 1830 as it was
worn at that time by the society bells
of Washington and the South.
Surely these pretty new fashions
are entirely feminine. They are as re-
mot from the mannish styles of a few
seasons ago as one could imagine.
So far American dye makers have
been unable to overcome this con
dition and they are not likely to be in
a position to supply fast color dyes
for several years. Only in the quick
ending of the European war can we
hope release from the presenj high
cost of materials for wearing apparel.
Merchants Urging Action
The Store that sells Wooltex shows
several new mid-season models that
conform to the styles as described
above. Mr. Haltom, tells us that the
stocks are now complete, but that
with the present scarcity of materials
the replenishing of stocks is very un
certain.
All the local merchants are urging
w omen to buy their spring apparel
now before stocks are depleted.
1 hose who buy later are certain to
have difficulty in finding as complete
variety and prices are likely to be
higher.
High Crowned Spring Hats.
The most fashionable new spring
style in hats has the appearance of a
dome. It may be made entirely of
straw or the crown covered entirely
with folage and flowers. Upright rib
bon wings are frequently used for
trimming. High colors are very popu
lar.
1 his new hat, c lied the steeple hat,
is said to have been originated by
Reboux of Paris.
A novelty in spring hat is one made
almost entirely of hair; crown and
brim arc transparent, with binding of
silk or satin.
Dyes Affect Shirtwaist Colors.
J he scarcity of fast color dyes has
had a marked influence on spring
styles in shirtwaists.
Fewer blues, purples and pinks will
be seen this year than ever before.
A bile these colors are used in strip
es and figures, they are used very
spa ringly.
Pearl grey, dove grey, peace grey
and white have been made the favor
ites of fashion because of the diffi
culty in securing dyes for colors.
A very pretty waist novelty is the
pew jabot waist in which a colored
jabot forms the reverse of the waist,
the jabot matching the sailor collar.
This is really a feminine shirt style.
It is popular with misses and young
women.
Shirtwaists are certain to be higher
•n price because of the scarcity of
the most popular fabric, Georgette
crepe.
Button Shoes Very Popular
Shoes are higher in price, higher in
shape and button models are very
Popular styles for spring.
Manufacturers are having a great
deal of difficulty in securing French
kid and when present accumulated
stocks of raw leather are exhausted,
prices are bound to be still higher.
Not only in shoes but in every other
article of wearing apparel are prices
advancing. This is due to the scarcity
of materials, many of which are im
ported from Europe, and the scarcitv
of dye stuffs.
Higher Cost of All Materials.

only five to seven cents per yard to

"Must protect home commerce” i
the headline of a well written editor
ial in the Evening Gazette. In the
closing paragraph the writer says:
"To admit foreign goods on a com
petitive basis would be to reduce the
United Stales to the level of coun
tries suffering from the results of war
and no more colossal commercial
blunder could be committed.” True,
every word. Always true and always
will be. Protection against permitting
“competitive goods” made by the
pauper wage earners in other lands.

tariff doctrine. We are glad
written in the Gazette’s record.

We have no more faith in a tariff
commission, such as that proposed by
President Wilson, than we have in a
board of censors for moving pictures.
It could not be any more non-parti
san than Congress itself. The tariff
must be settled on a basis of trial and
error, and the process will not be
complete until the common con
sciousness of the nation has realized
what the tariff means to its industrial
life. The Underwood bill has done
more to settle the question in Amer
ica than all the discussions that have
raged since the days of Calhoun. Let
Congress and the popular vote de rile

There is no surprise over the
nounccnient of the Department
Commerce that our trade in cotton
goods with China has dropped one-
third while Japan has increased her
cotton trade in that country nearly
nine times. Japan's cheaper labor,
combined with her ability to imitate
American methods, explains that. No
one grumbles because of this. It is
fair and expected competitio'h, but
American manufacturers have cause
to fear that Japan’s htfge expansion
of her cotton cloth industry will ulti
mately cut into our domestic market.
Of course, the Japanese cannot do
this if the tariff gives our manufac

have.
